I'm fascinated to know what you think was responsible for your eye sight and strength improvement. Were they compromised before hand ? I too was diagnosed with GD by biopsy several years ago, but then my derm said he didn't think it was GD. I did Cilantro smoothies for over two years with pretty good success. Due to a blogger on this site I started doing the oil. My itching is still there, but very manageable. What ever it is that causes my rashes and itching, started right after my shingles shots. I believe, as others on this site, they opened the door to this condition. Frustrating that there is so much guess work when it comes to GD. I have worked in a fish restaurant for years and stopped eating both Tuna and Sword Fish, due to mercury concerns, about ten years ago. If you get NetFlix, watch What the Health. It will scare the pants off you. Is there nothing left to eat that isn't tainted ? Who knows ?
Absolutely fascinating information groverclevland.
I looked at ingredients in the Good Natured Chorella/Spirulina 50/50 mix I take.
Chlorella Pryenoidosa and Spirulina (Athrospira Platensis) are the only ingredients.
On on the package I see no country of source for the Spirulina but now will check out website and contact the company.
I take supplements like chlorella or fresh or frozen cilantro to detox heavy metals and yet once a month my husband and I go out for a giant bowl of mussels cooked in an amazing wine herb sauce. Mussels have the highest concentration of mercury of all shellfish, so the next day I drink the cilantro for a few days.
So interesting about mercury poisoning instead of GD. If you do have excessive mercury in your blood you may qualify for blood chelation, blood washing filtering of metals done medical professionals. This could give you faster relief from the poisoning. One dermatologist said he didn't think a person could ingest enough cilantro to detox heavy metals. Yet cilantro helped me.
I will not eat out of any products made from China, years ago I cleaned out my cupboards and have replaced with English, Italian, Portuguese or American pottery only. We have known for years they put lead in their paints for vivid colors.
I considered having the two mercury amalgam fillings that I've had for 60 years removed, but from my research learned that removal releases the mercury which is more dangerous than simply living with the filling.
I always wondered why your GD was not as itchy as it was for the rest of us, plus with GD most go into remission for periods of time, which you weren't. I will say my itchiness was equal to the pain.
Were you ever biopsied for GD or simply given a visual diagnosis? My biopsy came back negative, but it was taken at the end of my first year when I started going into remission. So it was not active. I tell this to others because clearly biopsied can't be accepted always based upon the stage of GD you are in.
Your horsefly bites were much like my Allergic Contact Dermatitis sensations I had, even when visual rash was gone I had stinging sensations inside my skin, 24/7 and worse at night. Strong corticosteroid shots would help; many dangers with those. What stopped my internal sensations which were all over my body was giving up processed sugar and starting on chorella which was in my anti-inflammation diet plan. I still have none of these sensations. Also about 4 months after I went off sugar I learned about cilantro from my guardian angle, Kimass1. Maybe some correlation there between processed sugar and cilantro.
I'm glad your are educating yourself, plus practicing, experimenting and sharing what you learn. Most of us who get control over our diseases find the need to do that. It takes discipline, yet pain is a great motivator. We have so may complicating factors, there is no pat answer for doctors.
One should never wear cotton clothing that has not been laundered. Virtually all fabric has some sort of sizing applied to make the fabric more manageable. Most sizing is petroleum based. If you have ever entered a fabric store - the smell will overpower you if you are sensitive at all. It's not determined by country of origin. I assume organic cotton uses non-petroleum based sizing, but I don't know.
Excellent info and very encouraging results. Your self-discipline is fantastic! Thanks for telling us all about this routine you have developed. I will read that PDF.
I continue to take a large pill of Chlorella (broken cell wall is about all the info they provide) from Now Foods twice/day followed by 8 drops of the Cilantro liquid extract from Herb Pharm about 45 minutes to an hour later as was recommended in some detox articles I read. My GD is still there, but the number of sores and the amount of itching I experience has been significantly reduced.
Did any of those three dermatologists you mentioned do a biopsy in their diagnosis? Shouldn't that have told them for sure if you had GD or not?
Hope you have continued improvement!
Wow! What a regimen but if you’re getting relief it’s worth it. Glad you’re finding root cause of your symptoms.
I continue to take cilantro capsules daily and added collagen. My outbreaks still occur after exercise and strenuous cleaning but the topical steroid cream helps.
Thinking I should add chlorella as I consume a lot of seafood that could contain Mercury. Thanks for sharing your research.
