I cleared oxalic acid on the machine Wednesday. I had been putting it off because I didn't want to avoid for 25 hours. You can't eat much if you have to avoid that way. I really wanted to clear this because I think it's important. I'm glad it's done.

From answers.com I found this explanation:

"Oxalic acid (IUPAC name: ethanedioic acid) is a bi-carboxylic acid with structure (HOOC)-(COOH). Because of the joining of two carboxyl groups, this is one of the strongest organic acids. The anions of oxalic acid as well as its salts and esters are known as oxalates.
Oxalic acid and oxalates are mild toxins found in many plants. Oxalic acid is a strong acid that irritates the lining of the gut when consumed, and can prove fatal in large doses. Oxalic acid also combines with metals such as calcium in the body to form oxalates which further irritate the gut and kidneys. The most common kind of kidney stone is made of calcium oxalate.
Because it binds vital nutrients such as calcium, long-term consumption of foods high in oxalic acid can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Healthy individuals can safely consume such foods in moderation, but those with kidney disorders, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis are typically advised to avoid foods high in oxalic acid or oxalates.
Foods that contain significant quantities of oxalic acid include cocoa, chocolate, most nuts, most berries, rhubarb, beans, and beets, among many others.
In addition to its natural occurrence in plants, oxalic acid may also be found in household chemical products such as Bar Keeper's Friend, some bleaches, and rustproofing treatments. It is also used in wood restorers where the acid dissolves away a layer of dry surface wood to expose fresh material underneath."

After that clearing I had a regular acupuncture balancing treatment.

My husband came to find out how much calcium he should be taking. Just an extra capsule a day. Lisa tested him for coffee in the waiting room and he flunked big time. She's still trying to find out why the hands and feet are tingling. So he cleared that on the machine and three minutes later came out and tested strong. It is so amazing! He was drinking a lot of coffee every day. Water processed decaf but still not good if you're allergic.

I had a dermatology appointment Thursday for a body mole cancer screen. She found one that looked suspicious so had it off. I'll get the results in a week. Great....just one more thing. I had one removed last year that ended up being very close to BAD. Had to go back in and take bigger margins. So now I'm supposed to get checked every six months.

But hey! I'm not allergic to the adhesive on bandaids anymore so it's not bothering me! Go NAET!
