Update On Me, and Amazing People Out There
Alpha-Gal allergy people have side effects, and it seems that gluten is a big one. I believe that it is due to the effects of the allergy in the blood and lower intestines that cause weakening of the lining and other issues, and then these side effect allergies occur.
I believe that this is all conquerable. I had a side effect of egg and almond allergies but not anymore that I can tell. I am able to eat gluten some again, but I am still careful because it causes my sleep to be affected some. I plan to add a page very soon, for my local River Valley area and surrounding areas, to show the places where it is safe to eat with this mammal allergy. I will have categories for places safe, places not safe, foods brands safe, links to the lists of ingredients to be aware of, lists of ingredients that can be both vegan and animal-based, companies that have been contacted to change their product and links for people to write in to ask them to have options for us (such as vegetable capsules, and plant glycerin and Vitamin D). The page will be free to start, and will eventually become a paid subscription service.
Be watching my Facebook page and my web page for updates and new blog posts as I am beginning to put stuff up again (I kind of got out of sync with the blogging and updating). My book has taken a little delay also, so keep watching for it to be published by February. Be encouraged. That is my update for now.
Carry on and keep healthy!
I leave you with some info I copied from the site for gluten-free info and help. It is the best I have seen, and I love the “watch” section. I plan to have a section like this called “the alpha-gal watch” to keep updated like she does this gluten free site.
The Gluten-Free Dietitian web site was started to help you or someone you love successfully follow a safe and nutritious gluten-free diet. I am a nutrition consultant who has specialized in celiac disease and the gluten-free diet since 1996.
If you are new to the diet, the Gluten-Free Diet Basics and Resources pages will help you get started.
Timely information on the gluten-free diet can be found in the Gluten-Free and Nutritious Too! newsletter.
If you are looking for books written by me on the gluten-free diet visit the Books page.
Finally, if you have any questions about the gluten-free diet, please visit the Contact page.

MASSIVE ACTION
MASSIVE ACTION PLAN
A food allergy, cancer, lymes, or any other mycroplasma parsite prion blood issue, needs a plan to destroy and heal. I have combine several plans to come up with one that I believe, with time, will destroy the thing causing the mammalian allergy within me from a tic (called alpha gal). I plan to keep at it until it is gone. I will not live this way. I confirm from the Almighty himself that my energy and my gusto with his healing plan will succeed.
Whole food supplements
Amla Powder
Apricot Kernals or powder (and other fruit seeds)
Minerals and vitamins:** The best way to know what your body needs is through hair analysis and saliva testing, not blood work tests; the invader in the body will absorb the vitamins and minerals from your body, so a consistent daily dose of supplementation is necessary to combat nutrition deficiency (causing hormone and other imbalances and issues). (I am certified Health Coach and do the hair analysis and consultation). FIND a good nutritionist or Health Coach who can help you create the supplement plan your body needs. It will change every 6 months to 9 months as your body’s needs change.
Plant extracts
Beta Glucan (I get this from the Amla powder)
Colloidal silver (dark, high silver: I purchase from Herbal Healer Academy Dr. McCain)
Turmeric/Cur cumin
Boswella/Frankincense (I use the oil on head and feet)
D3 from the sun, lots of sun (if you take a supplement, use a plant based, not Lanolin)
Vitamin C, highest amount you can tolerate (usually up to 5,000 mg a day; if you have loose stool, you have met your max amt.) (if you take Amla, no need for extra C because it has the 2nd highest concentration of vitamin C in all foods)
Gut
Probiotics (make your own, or find high quality)
Oil of oregano
Quercetin (in food or supplement)
Proteolytic enzymes (pineapple, papaya, etc…or the supplements for these)
Enzyme therapy
Herbs
Dandelion Root (powder or tea)
Essiac Tea (I order the mix from The Bulk Herb Store, and make this myself, OR order the Essiac tincture from Herbal healer Academy)
Jason Winter’s Tea
Other Detox teas from Yogi and Bulk Herb Store
Detox
HMD Herbal Drainage formula
Dr. Clarks Parsite Cleanse OR
(I use) Intestinal Freedom and Wormwood Plus Tincture
Cancer, Parasites, Mycroplasma (Lyme, Alpha Gal, etc.), ETC. IS A DEVINE CALL TO ACTION!
• Everything (issue good or bad) in our life is because of us, the choices we make.
• These are natural and normal, but the immune system is the difference for what becomes a tumor, chronic, or enhanced in other ways.
• By the time diagnosis , it is too late for prevention.
• The body created it and the body can heal it.
•
Make life goals, make future plans, Live for these goals, enjoy life as you have it, do not fear, focus on the positive, focus on the things that bring joy, live as if you had not issue; The mind can do great things.
Vegetables: garlic, onion, cauliflower, broccoli, dark greens
Fruits: cranberries, lemons (highest cancer fruits by dose): tart/sour is the key
Organic cran powder
Green Lemonade: 1 lemon, 4 granny smith apples (with seeds and peals)
Eat berries all year long, every day.
Oats with fruit
With cinnamon—cinnamon amps the antioxidants,
With seeds—seeds add nutrition needed
With blackstrap molasses—huge nutrition
Amla berry—highest concentration of antioxidant on Earth, known, and 2nd highest in vitamin; this berry is anti-everything bad.
16-24 oz of water in the morning, some of that with lemon, and total of 64-90 ounces by end of day.
30 minutes or more of exercise, with cardio
64 ounces of juice daily, especially in morning for cleansing
Salads (meaning more than two kinds of vegetables not counting lettuce) daily
Fruit, lots of it
Need to have a mostly raw diet (90 %), but some cooked foods ok: rice, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, lentils, fish, and biblically clean meats (in moderation); some dairy is ok also, especially yogurt.
The things in this Massive Action resource are from a lot of research. I use essential oils and biofeedback and massage in combination of these nutrition things. I believe meditation, prayer, and action are all part of the process of elimination of the invaders (I call them weeds). We have to use a whole body/mind/spirit approach to healing for all things.
This is the protocol I am using, and yes, I do it all, and never let up. I will eliminate the alpha gal and other weeds in my body. I have combated many things in my lifetime, and this is no exception.

Bartonella and Other tick-borne Transmitted “Weeds”
I recently shared some information from Dr. Bill Rawls about the stealth microbe Borrelia. Hopefully you’ll find his information on Understanding Bartonella (last updated 3/1/17) just as useful.
Bartonella is typically spread by biting insects (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, sandflies, lice, chiggers, biting flies, scabies, mites, and even louse-eating spiders), but can also be transmitted by contaminated bites (of animals), scratch (cat scratch), and ingestion.
Infection by any bartonella species is called Bartonellosis.
There is a lot of information in the article – what Bartonella is, how it can be spread, typical symptoms, and information on typical and natural solutions.
Dr. Rawls is a physician who overcame Lyme disease through natural herbal therapy. You can learn more about bartonella in Dr. Rawls’ new best selling book, Unlocking Lyme. Also be sure to check out Vital Plan, Dr. Rawls’ naturally powerful immune support protocol and get your free personalized supplement recommendation.

Stealth-type Microbes That Can be Transmitted by Ticks
I found the following information from Dr. Bill Rawls very informative.
Over several years of persistent effort, I was able to recover my health completely — the things that I learned along the way changed my life forever. My struggle with chronic Lyme disease taught me things that most other physicians do not know. I now use that knowledge to help others understand and overcome this often frustrating illness.
Borrelia, the Misunderstood Microbe
Retrospectively, I may have harbored Borrelia burgdorferi (the microbe that causes Lyme disease) for years before I actually developed symptoms. I’m an outdoor person; tick bites have always been an everyday affair.
It’s not uncommon for people to harbor Borrelia and not know it; stealth is this microbe’s middle name.
Lyme disease is mostly transmitted by nymphal ticks, which are about the size of the pin. They bite, transmit the microbe, and then drop off — most people aren’t even aware of being bitten. Because symptoms of the initial infection are so mild (if they occur at all), it’s not uncommon for people to be completely unaware of being infected.
And Borrelia isn’t the only microbe to worry about. Ticks carry many microbes that have similar characteristics to Borrelia. What they all have in common is stealthy characteristics that make them hard to find–and even harder to get rid of.
If immune system function is robust, a person can harbor these types of microbes indefinitely without ever having symptoms. When illness does occur, it’s typically chronic and debilitating, but not life-threatening. Additionally, the degree of chronic illness is highly variable. Some people are severely debilitated, while others are only marginally miserable.
What You Need to Know About Borrelia
- Borrelia rarely causes life-threatening illness, but it can make you desperately miserable for a lifetime.
- There are 20 known species of Borrelia that can cause human illness (not just Borrelia burgdorferi), and it is not uncommon for people with Lyme disease to harbor at least two species.
- Beyond Borrelia, there are hundreds of species of stealth-type microbes that can be transmitted by ticks. Mycoplasma and Bartonella are the most common, but there are many many others. Most everyone on the planet harbors some stealth microbes without knowing it.
- All these factors make Lyme disease extremely difficult to diagnose; lab tests are notoriously unreliable, especially in chronic illness.
- Because Borrelia is so difficult to diagnose and can be harbored without causing symptoms, no one really knows how many asymptomatic carriers there are worldwide.

Crazy Healing; Crazy Life; Will Conquer
Okay, I have been researching and speaking with experts in microbial infestation (ie: alpha-gal strains, lyme strains, bartonella, Epstein Barr, and many more). I believe, after all this, I have more than one issue from the tick transmitter, and alpha-gal may be on the low end. This is crazy stuff. I believe also, that I have found a path, paved by the Father in his created resources, to get rid of all of it! I know it, in fact, and it will occur. I am confident. I am going to have to be patient, however. You all may have some of these causing your chronic and autoimmune deficiencies and issues. I am on a protocol with a biofeedback device, herbs, oils, and nutrition, to rid the things I have found in me (dormant or otherwise).

Stealth Microbes – I Call Them Bad “Weeds”
Weeds can show up in places unexpected, almost unbelievably unexpected.
I am in my sunroom, putting new herbs into bigger pots, and adding new soil to old ones, harvesting some for drying, and preparing them for winter. I notice some of them have some different looks. They are potted plants, in potting soil, and yet, even then, weeds have grown. These plants were not transplanted from outdoors, and they were not planted in outdoor soil. Thin, grass-like weeds had popped up in many of my pots, few in number, but there. In a potted plant, you cannot just pull the weed like you can in the garden outside. In a potted plant, the weed and the plant have grown together, more than likely, and that is why I did not notice. The weed in a potted plant will have its roots intermingled with the plant. I had to cut the weed at the soil level and hope it just dies off at the roots. The lesson here: weed seeds are in
The lesson here: weed seeds are in the soil, in the air, in the plant itself; they will not go away, and cannot be killed off. Weeds are part of a greater ecosystem. There is a biblical parable about weeds and tares in Matthew 13:24-43. Thistles were found in the clean wheat. The servants asked if they should weed out the thistles. The master said, “No, if you weed the thistles, you’ll pull up the wheat, too. Let them grow together until harvest time. Then I’ll instruct the harvesters to pull up the thistles and tie them in bundles for the fire, then gather the wheat and put it in the barn.”
Alpha-gal, Lyme, and the hundreds of stealth microbes have, as I stated in the beginning, come in from thin air. We do not know where, when, how, but we have plenty of guesses and theories. We cannot date this. We do not know if this may have been in the system of mammals for ages gone by that man was not sensitive to, or, if it is a new kind of sensitivity man has developed because of the corruption of the Earth and human food systems. It is a weed, however, that has developed like a plague, and its roots are in the ecosystem, intertwined with the mammals, encrypted into the human digestive system and blood by way of a little tick or other species. There is always a vehicle, medium, or channel for the transferring of one thing to another; “weed” transmitters use these well.
Many situations in our lives come in from what seems “nowhere”. The reality is that they have always been there, and will always be there, in this human life existence.

Alpha-Gal Product Awareness
This is astounding. People with alpha-gal (AG) can have a reaction to so many things we never would think of. Use this only as a reference and know that pig and sheep and other mammals have about the same pic but beef is used the most. This may be the biggest plague to mankind food based, because of the masses of uses of mammal.
If you have had reactions, brain fog, triggers, and cannot figure them out, pay attention to this list. I just figured out I was in a vicious circle because my charcoal brand has magnesium stearate and stearic acid (neither veg based); the charcoal works superbly on a reaction but then hours later in the night I had issues from the ingredients setting in. Then, I discovered the vitamin D in the Emergen-C Immune Plus powder (from cholecalciferol), and my glandular was bovine. So, I had a week of circling and because of lack of sleep from it all, was becoming worse.
I read a post from this group Monday and all of this became clear. I stopped the supplements I had just started a week before, and took regular Emergen-C without D, and have new vegan charcoal on the way. Sheesh! Thanks to this group and the Savior for all the answers just when we need them! I am continuing to search for a way out of this. Think positive. Do not fear. Stay prepared. Find alternatives. Keep moving forward.

Weeds Grow Faster Than the Fruit
Weeds grow faster than the fruit. I tilled up ground for an autumn garden and I have to till or hoe again, just a few days later, because there are weeds filling the ground. I was not able to plant seed and have it mulched when I tilled it due to not having the proper seed I needed at the time. Now, a week later, I have to deal with the weeds. Again. It is amazing how fast clear ground can turn into an overgrown mess.
If you have experienced the wonders of planning a garden, having a picture of what it would look like, and having expectations of the garden every neighbor would be in awe of, you probably also realized that these do not just happen or naturally grow on their own. Weeds and grasses do, however, grow abundantly without being planned or planted. It seems as though weeds do their thing without anyone lending a hand. I have another perspective however, to add to the weed’s abundance. We do have a part in the growth of weeds, more than we know or want to admit. I cleared the land, leaving fresh, soft, fertile, soil. Everyone I know loves to put their hands or feet into fresh, clean soil, and stay a while. The soil has been tilled, meaning, the top layer has been broken and the lower soil brought to the surface. What was on the top? Weeds, plant matter, old mulch, all turned under. Point: there are always weed seeds, and weed matter, in the soil.
Our lives are wrapped up with pulling weeds and planting seeds. We can produce weeds of selfishness and lies, or fruit of love and service. The Messiah said the soil of our hearts is the most valuable acreage on planet earth. We have to tend to it with pulling weeds and weed roots, planting good seeds, and growing fruit that can be harvested for many.
Weeds can squeeze the life out of a garden, especially brier, thorn vines. In life we call these the worries and anxieties of the world, and the desires for other things. These weeds have the potential to multiply. Several people I know are struggling with the “what am I supposed to do? Who am I supposed to be?” They are falling into the trap of comparing, looking to other gardens, and trying to live there instead of where they were planted. Just one weed, like a dandelion, has unnumbered seeds, and if we let just one weed grow freely, the result can be devastating. Dealing with allergies from a tick, alpha-gal mammal allergy, I have had to be very proactive, and tend my body with more care than I ever have. I have always been healthy, eaten well, and stayed active, but I am now more tuned into every detail of what goes into my body and mind. I have struggled with emotions, imbalances, and triggers from the allergy, but this allergy has revealed more about myself internally than I ever would have known otherwise. I have experienced releases I may not have ever experienced, in deeper ways than I thought I could go. I had more in me than I would have ever guessed. I hate this allergy with a passion, and I am actively pulling at it to find its core.
I read in an article that weeds left unattended can cut a harvest by as much as 40-60 percent. We have to be very intentional and serious about pulling and tilling under the weeds of destruction.
I will post an article on the pruning process and the mulching process, because it fits so well with weeding. It is all about keeping the good plants healthy and strong, and using the weeds for good.

The Struggle is Real
You decide to go kayaking, get to the place, and go to put on sunscreen, then realize one BIG THING – ingredients. You read the ingredients only to find that the sunscreen has glycerin in it, and you find nowhere on the package the words “vegan” or “vegetable based products” or “vegetable glycerin”.
Glycerin is not always vegetable based, so if the product does not say, you do not know. You have to make a decision to take the risk of a reaction later that day for using the product, or you take the risk of being burned. What would you do? What have you done in a similar situation?
I took the burn that day. I had a long sleeve swim shirt and a huge garden hat, so I knew I had upper body protection, but I had nothing for my legs. An hour in I remembered my towel in the dry bag, got it out and used it for the remaining hours we were on the water floating down the river. I thought I may have caught the “burn” in time, but each time I took the towel off my legs were revealing the hour of sun they had gotten. By the end of the day, I had red thighs, very red thighs! It could have been worse, but I was able to cover well and keep from bad burns. If I had not had a long sleeve shirt and a big hat and towel to cover, I would have had to stay behind and not go on the river, take the other risk of a bad allergic reaction later, or just let myself get burned badly and live with weeks of pain. (What I got was bad enough)
I now have non-mammal sunscreens and skin products. I found out about glycerin being animal based when I had a reaction to massage cream not long ago, and it has caused me to look at everything I use, and change it if needed.
The struggle with food allergies, especially Alpha-gal mammal allergy, is real, folks. We have to make decisions all the time that can alter little things in an entire plan. We have to cook separate meals for ourselves, take our food and drinks everywhere, ask people to change their food choices, and so the list goes on.
Here is another situation I have been in many times:
We go out to eat on occasion. On the day we went kayaking (story above), we had been on the water longer than expected, getting off the water and able to leave about 5 p.m. We were hungry so we went to a place to eat. I will name the place because they are taking many strides to make it easy for allergy people to enjoy eating out without too much struggle, Ruby Tuesday. I ordered the Turkey burger and of course had to ask for no cheese and no dairy dressing, and that it be cooked on a grill not being used by anything else. They had trained the staff and were prepared with a special “allergy” grill. YES! you read that right. They have a special allergy grill and pans, and they are cleaned after each use and used only for allergy people’s food. The asking was a struggle and I hated it, but the fact that they had a plan for me already in place helped me to get through it. Not every place is like this, however. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL FOLKS.
Eating out, cooking at home, buying makeup or other skin products, using sunscreen, buying soap and shampoo – and the list is long, friends – is just not what it used to be for us allergy people.
We have to make the best of it however. I am posting all I can with resources and links to help you all live in this “phase”. I am also on a mission to find a way out of this. I am on a journey just like you. I would like to encourage all who have no allergies to have patience; it is a struggle for you all also, I know both sides now. I will do another post for those with the struggle to live with and interact with food allergy people when they have none. The frustration and struggle is real on both sides of the spectrum.
