January 5, 2013
As many of you know, I have been very ill for quite some time now. I'm not talking about the PCOS that was diagnosed in early 1998. I'm talking about whatever weirdness that has intruded my body in recent years.
Between 2009 and 2011, I increasingly became more and more ill until I was unable to continue working. Oddly enough, I was okay the summer between those two school years and was immediately struck down with illness upon return for the second school year. It is currently under some type of debate and has not yet been finalized in whatever and however many doctor reports that will soon be prepared and distributed. All I know is that my doctor who so gracious took my case has been supporting me and providing me Western type medical care for almost two years now (since about May 2011 until present). He also believes in some Eastern type healing and allows acupuncture, which is nice because it helps ease a lot of the suffering from major headaches and migraines, which usually means fewer pain medicines taken.
Anyhow, it has recently come to my attention that the case is coming to a close. I would normally be happy, but I thought I was waiting to see an ENT who would refer me to a surgeon who would remove the cysts in my sinuses. It's not a proven theory, but I feel as if the cysts are removed (which may contain whatever is continuing this illness, possibly even mold in there) that the rest can heal itself and I can continue my life without all of this. You can imagine it was quite a blow to find out that I will not be seeing an ENT...unless the judge orders the workers' comp insurance company to allow it. I am really praying that they do, but am also praying that God will continue to take care of me and guide me in a direction leading me towards health.
I often can't sleep. Last night I felt sick from my meds that were supposed to calm the headache, which it didn't. These things, they happen and I really have learned to be more accepting of my position. It is what it is takes a new meaning when life "sucks" and all you can do is learn to be okay with it as best you can. Many of my sleepless nights I watch documentaries on Netflix. Last night, I found something very interesting...it was called The Beautiful Truth. It's amazing. I had heard and agreed with almost everything I saw in this documentary but somehow had never put it altogether for a combined effort.
I'm very excited to tell you that I will be working on the following short term:
-Continue taking my Herbalife supplements
-Juicing organic produce frequently throughout the day
-Cutting out all processed foods and nearly all animal products (I just don't think I can do 100%)
-Get bottles of distilled water
I just finished ordering the starter package of reading materials, enema bucket and DVDs to begin the Gerson Therapy:
-Upon arrival I will continue with the juicing and consumption of organic produce
-Adjust my diet to suit my current ailments (migraines, cancer and diabetes...no, I have PCOS, but it's very similar)
-Hopefully cut the rest of the animal products (I think I get to keep yogurt, but we will see)
-Begin coffee enemas
In the long run, I would like to:
-Obtain alkaline water, or even a machine that makes alkaline water and removes the fluoride and chlorine from the tap water I regularly drink
-Remove my amalgam fillings for porcelain(my dad warned me a long time ago, but I assumed the dentist knew what he was doing...I should have asked him what he puts in his mouth)
I may need to review the supplements that I am taking to confirm I am including enough of the required amounts according to the Gerson Therapy. I did get the thumbs up from my mom's best friend, Susan, who is also an RN and nutrition expert.
I am actually looking forward to this. I must do something. I really don't know what will happen. But I know that if I consume food as God intended, then my body has a better chance of healing itself. My body was made to fix itself and I need to help it instead of hinder it. Also, the meds don't always work and I often feel crummy from them, so I am not really losing anything by trying.
Plus, this is a goal. Personally, I always like to have a goal to work towards. I'll keep you posted. The assistance with the PCOS is not very likely, but I am somewhat hopeful that it can at least help. Who knows, maybe my body will heal enough to have a family one day!
BTW, this fits in perfectly with my New Year's resolution. Eph 5:4...clean it up. Also, garbage in, garbage out...so get the garbage out!
