I haven't read anything by Dr. Rea and I certainly need to. A friend in NM who saw him thought he was the best. She couldn't say enough good things about him. Which one should I start with?

I would start with Chemical Sensitivity. Volume 4 (Tools of Diagnosis and Methods of Treatment). Nutrition replacement in this book is most interesting. I find the "Nutritional Status and Pollutant Overload" in volume 1 also important.

Thanks Ingrid! I am managing to get one on interlibrary loan after looking at the prices if I were to buy my own copy. I need to call the EI Clinic today to nag them more about tubing for CPAP. Last night I put triple antibiotic ointment in and on my nose as told to do so my sinus surgery doc and later my EI doctor! It enabled me to endure my totally plastic CPAP machine for about one hour only!
Did you know that some canaries can sleep with their ceramic mask on oxygen with their tygon tubing?
When I last called to buy more tubing I told them about my problems and they told me to sleep with the ceramic mask on my face as many do! I wonder how on earth they can? I did try it but I always turn onto my side and I also trash at night. (RLS now to my long list of ailments)
The first nutrients Dr. K put me on were:
1. evening primrose oil which made a huge difference for me ....I still have some of the blackseed oil but it never agreed with me but was a good rotation for a little while.

2. mega dose C since her theory was that I am missing an enzyme for absorbing nutrients and the C increases stomach acid which helps. I think Dr. Sherry Rogers also has some writing about this. Does he write about C also?

Watercolorist Keddie Walker used to make jokes that we don't have to eat as we can just swallow supplements!

Yesterday I read online that chromium picolinate will stop the mild depression that is caused in diabetics.
I forget the source now....sorry! Dr. K started me on chromium picolinate about 1998. I take more and more of it all the time.

Hi Alice,

Dr Rea's books are very expensive in Germany. So I managed to get them via a library at Cologne.
He writes about vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in volume 1 (pages 269 - 280). In volume 4 he says the following: "Vitamin C is better absorbed by 35% in a natural citrus extract containing bioflavenoids, proteins, and carbohydrates than when it is given as synthetic ascorbate alone. Vitamin C also remains in the body longer when it is administered as a natural citrus extract than as a synthetic ascorbate......."
In volume 1 you can read about chromium (pages 322-324). "Of the chemically sensitive, 89% have chromium deficiency."

I wonder, if I could sleep with a ceramic mask on my face. I have never tried that. It sounds horrible.

Hi Ingrid, It is horrible as I have tried it several times. Last night I went back and forth between CPAP and oxygen due to sinus infection and asthma. The aspen pollen is very bad this year. The librarian told me others are suffering too. My heart was very affected so I had to sit up some.
My package of Twinlab C with quercitin arrived today and I took my first one ever with quercitin from Twinlab. When I had previously taken quercitin I had a bad reaction to it but this one contains no citrus. Citrus especially orange juice gives me asthma. It was killing me about 1981 when I had my RAST test to determine what was going on. Dr. D'Adamo says no blood type O should ever take citrus if I remember his book correctly. I got a super price on this shipment and 3 bottles of Twinlab magnesium for about $6.45 which is about $5.00 less than we pay at Vitamin Cottage. I was delighted. it was probably my first order ever from Swanson. I always imagined their vitamins were probably full of soy but I am going to take my first one of their resverastrols perhaps tomorrow.
I have to rotate my vitamin C between Twinlab and the powdered pure Nutracology Vitamin Research. I can stop an asthma attack with it so wondering why I didn't try it last night (brain fog). Sometimes I cannot think due to lack of oxygen and maybe too much iron in my brain?
The copies of Dr. Rea's books were also extremely expensive on Amazon and on Alibris. But I am going to get one from the library and then another if I am able to read the first one. His writing would certainly be wrong for me just like Martin Pall's. I am very annoyed that I paid $35.00 for Martin Pall's book as I was on the 10th paradigm. His advice was mostly wrong for me based on my testing. RAST, Immuno and otherwise. Of course if one goes to the EI Clinic at Dallas Dr. Rea does much testing but I also understand they require lots of sauna so was warned never to go there. I cannot sauna due to my asthma.
Thanks for this info. I am certainly deficient in chromium and either diabetic or borderline diabetic now. My sugar is very erratic. I stick my toes very often to check as I have little feeling in my toes so do not mind doing it. I try to guess before hand based on what I have eaten and how I feel but its hopeless. Very rarely can I get it right.
I appreciate the good info.
