In Canada they are finding that food allergies/intolerances have increased significantly over the past 10 years in people 50 and older. In the past it was rare for adults to suddenly develop food allergies and they don't know why this is happening now.

I've used Sensodyne ProNamel for years. I used to have sensitive teeth but haven't been bothered by it since a couple of months after starting this toothpaste at the recommendation of my dentist.

I love shoveling snow, also! Unfortunately we aren't getting any this winter here in Vancouver. :(

My TSH was down to .81 and no one was worried about it. One doctor pointed out to me that TSH levels fluctuate.

Here in BC we can get our lab results online for any blood work done.

Hospitals don't seem to have any problem diagnosing heavy metals and they don't use provocation.

Provoked testing is very inaccurate. If you took 1,000 people and did a provoked test every single test would show up as positive. However, if those same people did an unprovoked test chances are very few would get a positive result. We all have some metals in us that don't do any harm. It's...

Wouldn't blood testing be more reliable?

My niece was diagnosed with that a few years ago. She had just had her yearly eye exam and everything was good and then two weeks later she suddenly developed blurry vision.

I think that I would rather live with ME than take a chemo drug even if it was shown to work.

If our red blood cells are distorted shapes and no longer round, wouldn't this show up on routine blood testing and get flagged at the time? I've never had a blood test over the past 28 years that suggested there was a problem with the shape of my red blood cells.

I just started on Zoloft (SSRI) four days ago and all I want to do is sleep since starting them. :asleep:

As I was channel surfing I saw a segment of the show on breast implants. It's very disappointing to know that this is happening here in Canada.

Wouldn't the Customs Declaration Sticker list the item?

Wouldn't Canada Customs seize it at the border though if it requires a prescription here in Canada?

Do you keep yourself well hydrated at all times?

Save your money, Dechi. If there were typical ME drugs that could help with symptom relief, our GPs would know about them by now. The sad truth is that at the moment, there is no treatment available. We all want to get better.

This article wasn't about ME, though. For a person in reasonably good health it probably is very true.
