TOPIC:

Yes, Kerri's program does require that children be casein free (since that helps feed the parasites).

Emily, my standard will be also getting rid of my constant itch(i also have this in more embarrassing areas as well:/....leading me to believe parasites may also be at play here), as well as relieving my intestinal bloat/gas, tempering my irritation/impatience levels, hopefully getting rid of my toenail fungus:( and tiny bit of psoriasis I have on one of my elbows. I also was very fit when I became pregnant (i had been on an anti candida diet and had gone through die-off previously but i was feeling great after dieoff.....I was at my fighting weight) well the pregnancy made me entirely grossed out by all the foods I had been having so I went off my Candida diet (i could kick myself for this!). This was the first mistake. Then I let them perform an "emergency" csection. ...Second horrible mistake! After that I slipped back into candida hell and I had compromised my baby's gut too:'-(. I had gained 40 pounds during pregnancy. I still felt healthy thoigh and even maintained my 4-5 times per week pretty strenuous exercise thru the whole pregnancy....I had zero morning sickness. I thought since I had stayed in shape during pregnancy that I would bounce right back. Nope! I dropped 20 of my 40 pounds bc it was just fluid. Nursing has helped me drop zero pounds. During lukes first year I tried so hard and lost maybe 5-10 more pounds. Well i kept trying and nothing more came off....I have even GAINED 5-10 pounds from where I was last year...ugh! I do NOT do well with extra weight on me and even though my husband says he would not change a thing, right now I am 20 pounds over where I am happy. So this would I also be an indicator for me....the ability to lose weight with hard work. ...and to also be able to gain strength, muscle, and balance. (No matter how much yoga or strength training I do, I don't seem to make any progress in these 3 areas....very frustrating) have been very anemic and this is all affecting me utilizing my T3 only thyroid meds correctly. So i plan on doing another iron panel after some time on the protocol.
I have never experienced the coated tongue for some reason, nor has lukey, but there are plenty of other equally fun symptoms to choose from lol. Waiting for us to be done breastfeeding is so so bittersweet for me....I just want to detox already so I can feel better and be a better more patient mother, but I don't want to prematurely force the weaning process. I am secretly hoping he will just lose interest soon. I plan to start slowly weaning him when he turns 2, but I would rather not have to force the issue:/.

I was also curious if one activator is generally recommended over another? Does hcl seem to have more success than the citric acid? Or are they both equally good?

HCL is a strong Acid more aggressive in the reaction with NACL02 and Citric Acid is a weak Acid less aggressive but in Higher concentration. The HCL is less problematic to your stomach because is the same acid produce by the stomach. Citric Acid has been reported that cause digestive problems. You got the facts now is yours to make the decision.

Emily thank you again for all the great links/info.
Couple of questions: what juice do you splash into your daughters mms dose to make it more palatable?
Also, how did you get your kids to start eating solids. Sometimes my son will eat (i cut up his food very small....ie organic Applegate grassed hot dogs cut up very small with peas is a sample meal or scrambled organic eggs with some blueberries or an avocado) and he may get a few bites in but he is mostly interested in just playing with his food or throwing it down to the dogs. Most of what I put in front of him.goes to waste and I get soooo frustrated. I think that what he has eaten couldn't possibly sustain him if he wasn't breastfeeding. I am trying to get him more interested in eating food but i don't know how. I refuse to give him sugar (outside of some fruit here and there) or any grains. Granted right now he has a cold (bc his cousin came over with one and then i started taking this herbal supplement called candida support and I think my dieoff did him in ....first time he has bern sick in a very long time and he is pretty snotty so his taste buds may be out of wack)
AND he is teething pretty bad right now with his molars so that may be getting in the way of his appetite.

Definitely HCL as activator is more palatable. I have tried both and we like HCL. Welch's farmstand Blackberry juice in pretty much any grocery store has zero vitamin C. We like that. Since I just add one tablespoon to the dose I don't care if it is organic. This is the only juice they get. If you are on thyroid meds for a low T3 that is simply Iodine deficiency and chronic stress/illness. I had a borderline T3 and I researched it and here is a good article.

I would postpone mms therapy to get your endocrine system in proper alignment then start mms. It should take 3-4 weeks. Start with 3-4 drops of Iosol brand iodine 2 times a day. Then increase next week to 5-6, then next week 8-10. I am still figuring out when a person should go on maintenance dose which is 12 milligrams daily. I just stopped when I went on mms because iodine is an antioxidant. I will pick it up again after my mms. After just one week I did not have cold feet when I went to bed.
I wouldn't worry too much about his food intake. If he is hungry the food you mentioned would be pleasing. Here is a good paleo baby/toddler/kids website. paleoforkids.com.au/

Sure, I will give you what I am doing. Right now I am only taking mms baths and doing maintenance doses of mms. MMS is medicine not a nutrient so when the major disease/sickness you are trying to heal is resolved it is important to supplement the body with the basic building blocks it needs and take the maintenance doses of mms.

These are the main supplements I take. I recommend not taking anything that the body can manufacture since it messes with the internal body chemistry. For example, do not take melatonin, but get plenty of sunshine in the form of vitamin D, take cod liver oil and do not stare into bright lights before going to bed, such as the iPad, and the body should produce enough melatonin on its own. I really like Walter Last and his work/knowledge as a naturopath. A lot of my knowledge comes from him. I hope you will be able to get these supplements in India.
You will have to figure out how to build up these supplements in your system. Everyone is different and has different nutritional deficiencies. I will give you what I do but that may not be the amount you need. Look up each of these and the symptoms of deficiency and you can figure out what your body is lacking. For instance, I have suffered from constipation for years and realized that this was a magnesium deficiency. I started taking 4-5 size 00 capsules filled with the powder spread over the day and now I have a bowel movement like clockwork. This is wonderful for me, but I had to do the homework myself.

MSM- Organic sulfur
Here is where I get it: www.nwhealthsolutions.com/
Here is an article about it: www.health-science-spirit.com/msm.html
Here is how I take it: ½ teaspoon dissolved in water morning, noon and night and drink it down. You can increase this as much as you like. Consider it food for the body. If you don’t like the taste then add juice.
IODINE-
Here is where I get it: www.amazon.com/dp/B000X5XMVQ/?tag=mh0b-20&hvadid=3481851258&ref=pd_sl_63vzataujs_pp
Amazon does not ship to India, last I checked, but check for third party sellers on amazon that may ship to India.
Here is an article about it: www.health-science-spirit.com/iodine.html
Here is how i take it: 6-7 drops morning and night, build up to 12-50 mgs depending on the severity of your endocrine system.
MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE
Article about it: www.health-science-spirit.com/magnesiumchloride.html
Here is a place to get it: www.bulknaturaloils.com/Products/15879-magnesium-chloride.aspx
I take 4-5 size 00 capsules filled with the powder spread over the day
BUFFERED VITAMIN C
Product I take: www.iherb.com/NutriBiotic-Ascorbic-Acid-Crystalline-Powder-16-oz-454-g/24191
www.health-science-spirit.com/morenergy.htm
To make buffered vitamin C mix 2 parts vitamin C with one part aluminum-free baking soda. It should fizz. I take ½ teaspoon of ascorbic acid mixed with ¼ baking soda and add water and drink twice a day.
DIATOMACEOUS EARTH
www.earthworkshealth.com/How-Diatomaceous-Earth-Works.php
I take ½ tablespoon in water twice a day.
COD LIVER OIL

Based on these values, the dosage for the high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil is provided as follows:
Children age 3 months to 12 years: 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5 mL, providing 4650 IU vitamin A and 975 IU vitamin D.
Children over 12 years and adults: 1 teaspoon or 10 capsules, providing 9500 IU vitamin A and 1950 IU vitamin D.
Pregnant and nursing women: 2 teaspoon or 20 capsules, providing 19,000 IU vitamin A and 3900 IU vitamin D.
