Titanium Dioxide Poisoning? (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have been unsuccessful as yet in finding information about titanium dioxide overload. I have been taking a variety of medications that contain T.D. And seem to have become "overloaded" with it. Med's that previously were not of bother now mysteriously cause a variety of disturbing & dangerous side effects. When taking anything containing T. D. I become lethargic (To the point of waiting until the last minute to do basic life-needs), experience body-wide excruciating aches & pains & generally feel like I am dying. Last winter I began to feel like this increasingly without knowing the problem. One day I watched a report on Oxycontin, which I was taking for chronic pain, where the mother of a young man taking it for pain described his deterioration as if she were talking about me. unfortunately this led to his death. Of course I called my doc immediately to discontinue. As I began trying other long-acting options, I would improve for a week or 2 and then decline in the same manner. I decided to look into the common ingredients of all these meds & found it to be T.D. Once I found that my break-thru meds did not contain T.D. I began using those as my primary pain-killers & discontinued all others containing T.D. Magically, I began to feel human again & all of the side-effects have disappeared. In addition, the horrendous acne, bloating, etc has also alleviated plus I have lost 20 of the 50 pounds gained without changing anything but the meds. I must add that I have an allergy to metal, which could be the reason for my sensitivity (although i took the same meds for years, I believe it became built-up in my system). My doc put me on the Fentanyl patch when trying alternative options, which resulted in the same negative reaction experienced with the Oxy, in a matter if minutes...unfortunately the side-effects continued to escalate for 22 hrs despite removing the patch after 8 hrs. After digging deeply on the net I discovered that the metal on the inside of the patch packaging can leech into the patch & cause negative effects for those allergic to metal. If there is anyone out there who has had the same experience or can confirm these side-effects as relating to T.D. Please post. I have scoured the net for months but can only find info on negative effects if T.D. In relation to inhalation. Any response is a welcome one, thank-you for providing a site for which to post my query.

Your medicine should be reactors to the chemical. Ex. A load of iron in the stream can react little by little with al the td you have, basic chemistry, because no acid under natural tempratures react the td, but active metals does the trick.

Yes, it is totally real. It took me 25 years to learn it because it's very difficult to put together.

I had the same experience on generic Lexapro, but quite taking it shortly after the muscle and joint pain begwhn. I was recently on a run of Amoxicillin and had the same reaction. Again, I stopped taking the med. Last week I ate a large portion of instant mashed potatoes and was up all night with stomach pain and shakes. I discovered that many processed foods contain TD, also make-up and body lotions, and especially sunscreen. Ask your pharmacist to print a list of inactive ingredients in all meds, and to flag your account with an allergy notice. Read ingredients on all foods! Do not drink skim milk, it is loaded with TD!

I suffer from Fibromyalgia, (ME) Chronic Fatigue, and Multiple chemical sensitivities. I was formally diagnosed with Titanium Dioxide Sensitivity quite a bit after I suspected it. I practice Applied Kinesiology. When i have an unexplained symptom I ask God for wisdom about the cause, and almost without fail, I receive inspiration. Than I muscle test everything, and sure enough it's established. This time god gave me wisdom that my constant abdominal pain was caused by something I was ingesting, and something in my medications. The common denominator was Titanium Dioxide. It' was an additive en every one of my meeds. Then I visited a Naturopathic physician who used a CEDS (Computerized Electro Dermal Screening)machine. I told him nothing, but he found it right away.
It seams that when Pharmaceutical Companies were coming out with such a glut of medications flooding the market, the PDA set up guidelines so they could distinguish them apart from each other by color and shape. TD is used as a color brightener for medications. So you see, if you take medications, it's hard to get away from TD. Most people who suffer from any kind of auto immune decease like CFS (ME)or FM have, of will develop Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.
For me it was extremely difficult, and took several months to get my docs to agree to give me TD free medications. I eventually got all liquids. Than I got wise and arranged to have a Compounding Pharmacy formulate them for me. Wish I had thought of that first! Hope this can save someone the headaches (LITERALLY) I had to go Through.
By the way Have you had your Dopamine level checked. Opioids only work in the body to the extent that you have Dopamine. Since they deplete Dopamine, it becomes a vicious cycle.

Yes, it is always possible for someone to be allergic to, or become sensitive to any given substance that they are exposed to on a regular basis and to start experiencing problems with it, even if they never had before.

These problems can occur from a natural allergic or sensitivity reaction, or from over exposure.

Has anyone else experienced these types of problems?
