Cilantro is a herb that is used in many spanish/latino dishes. But it is a powerful detoxifier of mercury and other metals from the body. Metal toxins cause inflammation which causes depression. Also metal toxins cause vision problems and headaches.
Chorella is a fresh water algae that chelates, or binds to metals in the body and helps to push the toxins out of the system.
Used together, these two are very powerful in pulling these metals out of bone, connective tissue, muscles and into the blood then into the elimination system.
Filtered Water and plenty of it to wash away the toxins. Also pay attention to getting the solid waste out. Do this with glycerin suppositories. People can use any good laxative that works for them. Glycerin suppositories work under an hour. It is done and over with.
A good read is the following link http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2174137/cliantro_for_mercury_and_heavy_metal.html?cat=68
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt's video which is mentioned in the above link is proof positive about the cilantro/ chlorella connection.

Letter to Edna
Thanks, I hope you mailed it to John's address. She will get it sooner than if to her own address.
I am still finding things that I am allergic to. I have a appointment with a nutritionist in a couple of weeks . No insurance for that. So pray it is money well spent. Cassie went to the same person and it helped her anxiety.
Work is finally picking up somewhat. Scary for a while. I am cooking for myself whole unprocessed foods and have completely changed my diet.
List of foods that I am allergic to or am sensitive to
Milk, eggs, soy, gluten, yeast, artficial sweetners, sugar, sugar alchols tomatos, cilantro.
I have a lot of inflammation in my body form all the allergies. I have read that mercury and heavy metal posioning can cause many allergies. This nutritionist can do a heavy metals toxicity panel on me. Or at least give me more info on the problem and how to deal with it.

Went off cholesterol medicine
The last time I had my cholesterol checked I was really doing well with it. This was in September sometime. I then read that statins prohibits the absorbtion of CoQ10. CoQ10 is good for the heart and the brain. So I went off the statin drug simvastatin and started taking CoQ10. In about two weeks, maybe 2.5 weeks, depression set back in. Cholesterol medicine lowers inflammation in the body. Inflammation causes depression. I did not know this about how the cholesterol medication worked until a couple of days ago. Apparently I am still loaded with inflammation. I will continue to work on this through change of diet. And going back on the cholesterol med.
Tumeric, Zyflamend and Bromelain, for supplements
I have been eating small ammounts of cheese as well and mayo. I am allergic to both. Also I probably have metal toxicity. This alone would cause a high level of inflammation.
I also stopped taking the probiotic and digestive enzyemes that I had been taking. I am on them again. These probiotics and enzyems help digestion and lower inflammation.
Now for food I will use tumeric to put into foods. I will continue to research this.

I have eliminated many foods
Over the past weeks I have eliminated many foods. Gluten, milk, eggs, soy, sugar, aspertame and sugar alchol sweetners. I know that a certain diet will not cause a reaction. Nuts, berries, fruits in general. Rice.(I am allergic to nuts, seeds, and rice as I have learned of late 8/26/11-editor) Spinach, collards, raw vegtables. As I go off these allergins I have itchy skin, headaches and in the end I notice less depression and anxiety. I have made mistakes and have paid for them. But to know that it is food that is largely causing the problems is amazing. ( I have mold problems-editor)
I feel at this time that everything in my system is messed up and has been for a long time. I am trying to fix digestion. I am also trying to detox at the same time. Just these two things. I know that I have eaten something wrong when I wake up with itchy skin. But this is good because my body is throwing off the toxins. But at least now I know what is causing the problems. Before I thought I was hopeless. No doctor in the history of all of this would tell me that it may be allergens. All this pain and doubt of my own sanity because doctors wanted me to just take the pills and keep coming back to get more pills. If I could sue I would. I just want to make some sense of this and start to get better.

Back on paxil
Well, as the header states I am back on Paxil. Intense anxiety and an increase in sluggishness in only four days. So I am forced back to the drug level that I was at. I have in the past tried to go off paxil as well as the other drugs and have ended up in the hospital. Right now I as so drowsy that I can hardly type this message. But I will continue to push through until I get back to where I was before I started to reduce the Paxil.
Since this has happened before, where I try to go off the drugs and fail, I have to develop a kind of patience. I start with frustration. Then anger, and in the past hopelessness engulfs me. Then the drugs bring me back and I try to remain level emotionally. I know this UltraMind program is a key because I do feel better now after seven weeks than I did before. But I can't go off the drugs. Not yet anyways.

Dr. Mark Hyman is the Man!
I started the UltraMind solution on July the 4th, 2009. The first thing I did was eliminate the gluten out of my diet. Energy started to surge into my everyday activities. I made some mistakes, most out of ignorance of just what foods had gluten in them. Then one by one I found that I had allergies to milk, eggs, soy. The energy and focus got greater. At the same time I concentrated on getting my digestive track realigned and success was at hand. I took probiotics to help clear up digestion. Liver support to detox the body. I am today starting to go off of my paxil. We will see. The VNS implant is starting to hurt even in sleep.

The 7 Keys to UltraWellness: Discover Why You are Sick and How You Can Heal
"I didn't know how bad I was feeling until I started feeling better."
That is what my patients tell me every day. They go from being ill or just okay to experiencing UltraWellness.
Most people don't know how poorly they feel until they feel better. In fact, most of us don't recognize that fatigue, digestive problems, aches and pains, allergies, headaches, and more aren't just annoying symptoms. They are early clues to impending diseases that can disable and kill us.
Most heart disease starts in the womb. You can detect brain changes in teenagers that can predict the development of Alzheimer's disease. Blood tests in children can predict who will develop diabetes later in life. Most cancers take more than 30 years to grow to the size where they can be detected.
How can we address problems that we don't even know we have?
There is an answer. It lies in the revolution that is happening in medicine today. That revolution is called ... read more

Is This Fungus Hidden Inside You Making You Ill
Could hidden fungus be making you ill? Let me tell you about a patient who came to my office recently. She was just 35 but suffered from a laundry list of health problems. Were her problems related? You bet! You see, they're all related to an overgrowth of yeast. This patient had such a fungus problem that she was practically a walking mushroom!
Why Supplements are a Waste of Money ...
"Vitamins are a complete waste of money." That's a common refrain among some conventional doctors. Is it true? Well, yes! BUT... There's more to this story. More than 92 percent of Americans are deficient in at least one vitamin or mineral -- and that's in the minimum amounts needed to prevent disease caused by deficiencies!

I have reviewed reams of research and many claims for and against soy foods. What have I discovered? Well, there's some good news and some bad news. From the studies available, I can tell you that soy is neither as good as the proponents say, nor as evil as the critics claim. The key is to take all the available evidence together and see what shakes out. I have done that for you.

Featured Success Story
"I have been up and down in my weight for years, but the more pressing issue for me was my chronic vertigo. Today, I've lost 12 pounds, my vertigo is 98% gone, and all my other symptoms have disappeared ... in only 7 weeks my life completely changed ..."
Before my vertigo started 5 years ago, I was an active young woman--an adventure traveler and hard-working advertising executive who had fun with life. Vertigo turned me into someone who barely made it through the day and longed for weekend ... my body rocked all day long I felt like was on a raft at sea every day, and the hardest part was that I couldn't sleep because as soon as I laid down I would rock awake.
I had MRI's, vestibular therapy, and acupuncture 4 times a week for years ... but still no relief.
I was literally on my knees and knew I was going to have to figure this out myself. That's when I heard a presentation by Dr. Hyman, and something clicked in me. I thought, "If inflammation could cause so many health problems, then why couldn't it cause the fluid in my ears to swell? Maybe that's what's causing my vertigo." I had obvious signs of inflammation in my hands. I got so excited to try something new, something I had never heard of before ...
In only 7 weeks my life completely changed ...
The vertigo is 98% gone, I have lost 12 pounds, and I can now do light exercise, something I haven't been able to do for years. I have energy now and am usually awake before the alarm goes off in the morning. My sugar cravings and cravings for high carb and high fat foods have decreased. And I feel better than I have a long time.
The UltraSimple Diet is easy-breezy. What have you got to lose? You can have your whole life back in 2 weeks. Small risk. BIG Reward!
