Yolanda Hadid: My Love, My Lemons, My Lyme Disease.

[GreatKazu]

The thing about YoFo's brain fog and other related issues is, she could be in the early stages of menopause as well. That would certainly exacerbate the symptoms she already has with the Lyme disease.

[zoeysmom]

One thing I find endearing and at times frustrating about Yolanda is she is never afraid to grab on to a thought usually reserved for printing on paper towels or cocktail napkins found in the self-help section.  https://instagram.com/p/0thg_9os8j/  Here is today's:  I am wondering if she has anyone in mind . . . hmmmm

[Higgins]

I think she should be checked for lead poisoning from her "natural" cleansy supplements.

If you go to her Instagram page she actually has a pic of some type of test results and her lead is thru the roof. Scary high.

[Higgins]

Well,.....She is not very bright, is she? heavy metal toxicity explains all her symptoms. She probably has mercury toxicity too.

She is killing herself taking these supplements, there are 6 in the unhealthy range with Mercury at the top of the danger range!

[nexxie]

It's very common for Lyme patients to have Mercury toxicity - Google it.

She really is.

Her family needs to help her see what she is doing to herself. How can she not see that those supplements are doing more harm to her already fragile immune system?

[Higgins]

Or, maybe they just have mercury poisoning.

[Higgins]

She probably eats a lot of fish. She needs to lay of all that vitamin crap and the eastern herbal supplements. The damage might already be done. That's why there is no "alternative" medicine. There is only evidence based medicine. Natural does not mean safe. Some of the most toxic things known occur totally in nature.

Can you cite for me some published studies that link them? I like to see replication and peer reviewed publications. There is so much woo out there in Google-land. Not saying there isn't a link. I would just like to see science based research instead of anecdotal or correlational information.

[racked]

She probably eats a lot of fish.

You think? I still picture her on an extended lemonade cleanse rationing out the almonds.

She says on the reunion first look that she's gone to South Korea for stem cell treatments, which sounded promising, but then she followed it up with some talk about holistic treatment so I can't tell if she's seeing actual doctors. I don't think she's dumb so much as desperate and I feel for her.

[Higgins]

She falls for all the pseudoscience. I think that might be why she is in this mess to begin with.

[zoeysmom]

I do think she should clean up her mercury levels but I never know who exactly is making the claims.  I am thinking the stem cell treatment isn't working for her.  Wasn't she introduced to us while undergoing lamb placenta treatment? 

 

For someone who is big on cleansing I would think she might want to stop everything for ten days and get rid of all the vitamins, herbs, antibiotics and whatever else she has been ingesting.  I can only imagine what she and the King have shelled out for these various miracle cures.

I awoke at 4am and have been googling mercury poisoning, Alzheimers and Lyme disease.  Lyme and mercury are linked.

 

http://www.chroniclymedisease.com/mercury-and-lyme-disease

 

The only supplement I could find that has mercury is fish oil.  I think it is very likely she has taken those.  We get mercury from many sources and coal is one.  I wonder if her family heated with coal when she was young.  It is in fish and animals who eat fish.  It is in the air and water.  It is hard to escape it.   

 

Yolanda may not be disclosing the entire story of her health either.  I could not find anything to support stem cell therapy for Lyme or mercury toxicity.  My heart goes out to her, she seems to be in serious trouble.  I don't think we will see her next season.  And that would be a decision she would have to make closer to the filming.  She is David's 4th wife (married in 2011).  I am sure losing her marriage and life as she has known it is paramount to her and she may be seeing both slip away.  That on top of feeling terrible is tragic.

OMG how awful. Poor Yolanda has to be so careful with her treatment.  I can't even imagine what her family is also suffering.  I hope she is finally able to get this disease under control. 

 

Thank you Wings707 for finding this info.

 

Praying for improvement in her health.

That site you linked is a person trying to sell a book. That is not a research based peer reviewed publication.

[zoeysmom]

I look at it this way-if Yolanda thinks getting rid of the excess metals in her system is a precursor to helping her get the Lyme's under control she should go for it as long as it is done by acceptable medical practices.  Otherwise I fear Yolanda will just start shipping boatloads of kimchee and sauerkraut and start down another path of false promises.

It's possible that Yolanda has a gene mutation (mthfr) that makes it difficult for her body to detox. It's a common mutation that people aren't aware of until they are hit with something like Lyme or a virus that makes the gene "express." Many people with chronic Lyme can't get rid of the neurotoxins that Lyme releases - or heavy metals - until they compensate for that mutation. I recovered from chronic Lyme after dealing with mthfr, and I have written to Yolanda through her website - hopefully she will be tested.

She probably eats a lot of sashimi with tuna. I wouldn't doubt if fish is her only source of protein.

 

Also I found a list here that shows many imported supplements contain heavy metals. Especially from Asia.

I found that link too and totally forgot to post the it here!  GAH   It is likely that she has used some of these on top of fish oil.   We know she eats chicken, too.  We saw her prepare that twice for her love, once pretending to eat it in the garden!   And I agree, I bet fish is something she eats the most. .

YoFo even went to Tijuana for treatment. I have never trusted the doctors down there. I don't even trust their government and their police. I wouldn't doubt with YoFo's money, there are plenty of quacks out there who are willing to sell her anything and everything they can push on her. I can see some quack pushing vitamins on her, claiming they were specially made by barefoot nuns in a convent who crushed the minerals from the finest herbs in the valley of Amsterdam.

What is this about Yolanda's marriage slipping away?  Is there something I don't know?  If David fooled around on Yolanda when she's sick like this, he couldn't show his face around Hollywood again!   This has to be a trying time for both of them, one being ill and the other being the caregiver, but Yo has been such a fighter that he couldn't ask her to do more for herself!   I can't even imagine what would happen if she should die, and he had walked out on her!  Mohammed would see to it that he was finished!  Besides, I think David has too much respect for Yo to do anything stupid behind her back.

It was said in speculation only. David is with Yolanda and has been through her trials and tribulations with Lymes Disease.  A supporting loving husband as far as we know.  They are trying to sell their home and downsize their living space.  Two of their three children are living on their own so it's time to move on.  Unfortunately Yolanda has suffered a health set back.

[ryebread]

I think David is much too image conscious to desert Yolanda, even if he wanted to.   I mean, I know that just because he appears to be a do-gooder with all his philanthropy, doesn't mean he's a good person.  But he's got to have a heart to be so involved when he doesn't have to be.  Not to mention all his sappy love songs over the years.  Those have to come from somewhere, right? LOL  Imo, Yolanda and My Love adore the limelight but I think they've got a lot of heart and are good people who likely wouldn't leave each other when the chips are down.

 

And tummy tuck?  For sure.  Her belly button is a dead giveaway.

NO!  LOL!  I said it is probably on her mind as it would be with anyone.   An innocent speculation can turn into rumor!  If I were in her position and I was losing mind and body function it would scare me that maybe my husband of only 4 years might not be able to cope with me if I did not recover fully.  Just guessing at all the many things that she must be experiencing.  Nothing more.

Personally, does anyone know what goes on behind closed doors? Much like that whole Mauricio has cheated talk, which ended up being part of a storyline that one season.

 

David is now on his fourth wife, correct? Wasn't it alluded by Linda or one of his ex-wives that he had cheated? I don't know, just asking.  What caused the demise of his previous marriages? His wives getting old? He cheated and was caught? He was tired of being with one woman? His wives cheated? They grew apart? Whatever that means.

 

Also, a man doesn't have to have a relationship with a female in order to cheat. That is what escorts/prostitutes/high-end call-girls are for, and they are not likely to run to the media or tabloids about their clients since privacy is all about their job and keeping wealthy, well-known clients going back to them for services. The tabloids themselves mention David has a wandering eye. Who really knows other than him, his ex-wives, and YoFo.

 

For all we know, YoFo may know something about David and chooses to just ignore it. Perhaps David has done something behind his wife's back, but any intentions to leave her are out of the question because of her illness.

 

Whatever the case may be, YoFo may have her own worries about David simply because of his track record with marriage. Being very ill wouldn't help. Not at all commenting that all spouses who get sick think their spouse will walk out on them. I just have this feeling with YoFo that she has tried very hard to maintain this marriage because she has no intention of going through another divorce.

 

 

I said it is probably on her mind as it would be with anyone.

Wow. Don't ever let a cow suck your chin. 

 

On a serious, note...I feel bad for her. I admire her kindness and wish her well.

 

Now, when she says her world has become very small and she's living in an apartment, said apartment is likely 6000+ square feet with a killer view of the city.  However, to move from her beloved ocean and lemons would be another tough pill to swallow amongst the other 357 she also swallows.  I hope she finds her cure and starts to feel better. 

[Satchels of gold]

I generally like Yolanda but she assumes her path is the only path. Perhaps her life lesson is to love people and not judge, for others the lesson maybe to be discerning about who you let into your life or to walk away from abusive situations. I don't like her one size fits all view of life. I do wish her well in her recovery, she clearly is really suffering.

Yolanda has never really been attacked or hurt by anyone on the show but has been a constant source of support for those who do the attacking.  I read her blog and with all the proclamation of no judgment and no criticism is great because she is in a position where she is bulletproof. 

 

Again Yolanda and the pseudo-science-now it is a baby calf from 40 years ago?  I guess there is an explanation for everything.  I do not understand the Yolanda's end of chronic Lyme's disease comments.  I would presume it is terminal for her terminology but can't be sure.  Did she and her family move into a Malibu apartment or an apartment closer to services for Yolanda again I don't understand the manageable comment unless it is that Yolanda can't navigate stairs (it would seem one of the many downstairs rooms could be converted to a master suite), the house needs to be ready for showing, or Yolanda gets lost in the mansion.  

 

I feel for Yolanda because with all her money and power it just seems like she is in such a hopeless situation.

I see this differently.  She is talking from her personal perspective, as we all do, and I see her comments universal good advice.  I don't get the impression that she is judging others for wrong behavior.  She is sharing another way to approach things.

This is how I see it, too.  She may not be able to exercise such zen in all aspects of her personal life.  If she chooses to be this way for now, and/or forever, I can't find any fault in that. 

 

She'll be ridiculed for taking up for Brandi for whatever reason - because Brandi has the goods on her or just because Yolanda is good like that.  But I don't think she cares.  She's got bigger fish to fry and I think those fish have taught her a lesson.  I think her path before wasn't the one she's on now.

Yolanda's Bravo Blog...Is this a Group Intervention?

 

There is no doubt that being as sick as Yolanda is gives her a different perspective than in past seasons.  All the down time forced on her has given her time to reflect on her actions/results and those of others. She speaks to her cast mates coming from a place she has not been before, she encourages them to love those least lovable in society.  Such as those that do not follow the socially acceptable paths in life. Those that might shoot from the hip and not think about the consequences of their actions. Haven't we all said something we wish we could use the "delete" key on.  

 

i agree with her as it pertains to all of them...they all need to be kinder toward each other. I truly feel as if this blog is Yolanda's Intervention on them all including herself.

 

-excerpt from Yolanda's Bravo Blog, April 1, 2015

 

Those Hardest to Love need love the most...

 

"All of this brings me back to the reunion. It was nice to see all the girls, even though, for obvious reasons, I have been extremely disconnected and pretty much living on a different planet for now. My overall take on the season is that we must all try to be kinder than necessary, because those hardest to love need love the most.

 

Some people come into our life as a blessing, while others come into our life as a lesson, so love them for who they are instead of judging them for who they are not.

 

It's obvious that some of the women’s behavior is a true reflection of how they feel about themselves, and for that, I have great empathy and compassion. The issues at play here are real life struggles, so remaining open to things with which we don’t agree allows us to see that there is always a resolution to a situation if we are willing to make the effort.

 

Everyone matters, so I don’t feel the need to compete and keep pointing out other people’s imperfections in order to feel better about myself. Since today’s world has enough critics, I choose to be an encourager where possible (while also telling friends what they need to hear, and not just want they want to hear) and treat everyone as if they were what they should be and hopefully help them become what they are capable of becoming.

 

I think it's important for all of us participating in the Housewife journey to remember that just because someone has inflicted hurt upon us, it does not give us the right to do the same."

 

[SistaLadybug]

Here's the thing, though: LisaV isn't inflicting any harm on Brandi.  She says she doesn't want to be Brandi's friend.  That's it.  She doesn't wish Brandi harm.  She simply does not want Brandi in her life as a friend anymore and that is her right.  You can have a forgiving spirit without inviting the person to be a part of your life.

Yes and I doubt Yolanda has a problem with that!  Take the high road is where she is coming from.  Walking away from Brandi is the high road, fighting and screaming at her is not.   She didn't say they all should see the good in Brandi and make a friendship work.  She was talking in general.  She stated this philosophy to explain why she was trying to help Brandi.

I loved what she said about Bella last night.  I needed to hear that because sometimes I forget. 

 

But yeah, I'd pick living a calm and collected life and forgiving or ignoring the people who push my buttons over being a screaming shrew who can't sleep at night because they spend most of their waking hours being miserable.
