I had not even thought of doing a food sensitivity test or even a detoxification test before my doc suggested I do it. Eliminating sensitive foods has improved my skin. Sensitive foods were keeping my immune system busy and causing my skin to be really inflamed and rashy. I wanted to be sure to post this in the event it can help someone else with this as a problem. Foods I was sensitive to included chicken, broccoli, cucumbers, and coffee! Who would have thought!?? I'm also learning to stay away from gluten.
The Great Plains Testing sounds great. Clearly, my test results did not show much detail in the way of pathogens. When I asked my doc if we should type the fungi, she said, at this point, regardless of what it turns out to be, she is going to continue to treat me the same... strengthen the immune system, build up the body, repair the gut, etc. She did recommend an antifungal herbal formula, and will be retesting me in a few months to see if any improvements had been made.
When I hear about the testing others have done, it really removes the mystery of morgellons for me. Yes, there are things that will always be a mystery surrounding this illness (fibers? specks?), but with the testing results, we have solid things to work towards in regaining our health back. It's not just a shot in the dark.
And for those who cannot afford to do testing, there are protocols (Mel's, Mr. Common Sense's..) that can help, regardless. We can also learn from others who are doing things which are helping them, like various skin treatments, far infrared, heavy metal chelation, etc, etc. |
