well, that was fun! She put me on a new liquid med for parasites. I grew up drinking well water from the very back woods of NC and I was an avid hiker for decades and drank from streams, so it didnt surprise me that I had some hanger oners. its a liquid that is so vile, and so nasty that you really have to work hard to swallow it. I have hidden it in a very strong fruit smoothie. Well, let me tell you 30 drops 2x a day was WAY TO STRONG for me. my stomach absolutely rolled over and locked up and said NO! We bumped it to 10 drops 2x a day, and the nausea parade continued, and we chose to go to 5 drops 2x a day and then dropped it to 5 drops once a day. Whee! let the diarrhea begin! I felt like I had a severe case of the flu. I was up for 2 days and really cleaned myself out. it was bad!

I called her office yesterday after being a sweaty, feverish, exhausted, dehydrated mess and said NO MORE! I followed your plan for 7 out of 30 days and im done! We can either figure out something else, or be done, but I dont have what it takes to finish this course. I am sure she will call tomorrow.

She was extremely sympathetic about helping me adjust doses, and was quite worried about pushing me too hard. The comment was made that if that last step didnt work we would find either another way to fix it, or I would have to live with it. Since my tummy is one of my major wish list items I was hoping.

I go back in 4 days for another treatment. I am more than half way thru. I am seeing nice improvements Better energy, better vision, headaches all but gone, better balance, can stand on one foot. can walk a straight line, can close my eyes, tilt my head back and touch my nose. my red skin has turned a nice creamy white, and I no longer burn in my own body. I can sleep at night without an AC. I can walk without going more blind than I already am. While the hug is still here, its less. I no longer get shocks when I bend my head forward, and I am starting to see my old drive return. the I want to get up energy, where as before I didnt care and my song was leave me alone please! I just wanted to go back to bed. now I am wanting to be up.

Will report in after my next visit.

Had another treatment. I went in feeling awful. I had a migraine, and a visual migraine, and a tummy ache. She tested several of the suppliments she has been giving me and said my body says its time to stop them. (thank god! some of that stuff is awful!) She plugged me into the machine (i didnt tell her a word) she said "oh we have to stop, you are in the middle of a migraine" and she switched the knobs on the machine and held some buzzy light thing over my head. in 20 minutes my migraine was mostly gone and the visual one was completely gone. We proceeded on with the electromagnetic treatment for the DDT, and so forth.

The body has a range from 1 to 100 to be in balance we want to ride at a 50 for our kidneys, lungs liver, nervous system and so forth. its a balance. my nervous system was riding in the 20s and so was my stomach. My nervous system tested out at a 43 and my stomach was a 41.

I felt like I had been starting a flare, but after I left there yesterday feeling like I had imagined the whole thing. My foot stopped buzzing, my headache was better and while I have an issue with the MS hug she was telling me that my ileo cecal valve is stuck closed and she wants me to see some special chiropractor that does a maneuver to open that valve. I will have to post a video to show you this strange pretzel maneuver. Wild stuff.

I told her i am ordering the products she wishes me to continue on online and getting them for 1/3 the cost. She went on to tell me how she orders some from a special medical company that you have to be a professional to get their catalog and I wouldnt be able to. I whipped out my nursing license and said yes! I can, and have already received their first catalog in the mail, so its the exact same product but at wholesale now. She said "whatever works!" so, no more yucky drops and no more other bad tasting stuff. its just regular suppliments now.

Do I feel better? YES! my my mind is clearer. the headaches are rare, (they used to be 10 a day or more) while my tummy has some to go, it too is at least behaving better. I feel more nourished, and stronger. I am not wobbly, and my vision is at 20/60 right now instead of 20/400. I can see well enough with glasses to read a book, or play a video game. I dont wall walk thru my home anymore, and I rarely to never take the cane with me outside. We are in the home stretch of it now. Just the chiro to see (he will see you 2 or 3 times and be done for the year) and a couple more visits with her.

It has been incredibly expensive, and a long drive, and taxing to swallow stuff that upsets your stomach and make sure you are always in reach of pills to swallow in case you put something in your tummy, but as the amount and types of suppliments are running down, and my body is winding back up, and I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel, I am saying it was and still is worth it. Yesterday was a $400 day, so add that to the pile of burning money, but my trip to italy wasnt going to happen if I was sick anyway, so might as well give her my italian trip money and be better, yes?

will let you know in about a week what the next treatment is, and will report in when I see the special chiropractor. Will post a video when I can find one of what this special guy does. looked scary to me!

Would I so this again? YES! it has worked more in the past 3 months than all my other meds combined did in the last 3 years. I dont feel like I have a pill that covered up my symptom, I feel like my symptoms went away, not just got beaten into submission. I had days when I thought for sure I would slap her, or just stop going, but with DH pushing me, and friends and neighbors pushing me and children pushing me, I am glad I hung in there. In the early days I didnt have the strength to pay attention to her, let alone understand what she was taking about.

Thanks for coming along for the ride. Will report back soon.

May I finish that statement another way? '...and it isn't the train!'

Dejibo, thank you so much for sharing your journey; complete with its near train wrecks, ups & downs and twists & turns.

Considering all that you have been though and especiallly what you are dealing with now with you DD, it reallly is amazing that you (or any one undergoing such ongoing stressful situations), have experienced improvements in your health through it all.
That says a lot for who you are and the amazing strength that exists within your being... and that goes well beyond the physical.

My hat is off to you for sticking it out with an exceptional level of fortitude that you have only given us a little peek at.

May your days, weeks , months and years ahead be more peaceful, healthy and uplifting.

With love, Erika

That is terrific!!!!!! I think it is money well spent. You cannot put a price on getting your quality of life back.

Sometimes these things work, or at least help. The problem I had when I was doing such things over many years was that sometimes they worked, sometimes not, and I had to have a lot of extra money to do them. And now I do not have a lot of extra money, much of it having gone to try to get well. Was it worth it? Of course, what else can you do?

My point here is that if something like this works, it should be a standard treatment, and people should not have to look and look and look, often futilely, for help. The medical profession needs to look into these things, but they won't, I guess.

The enzyme problem suggested on another thread by Annesse, there's another case. If there is help there, why isn't it standard? We have not yet been told by Annesse what the "cure" for pancreatic enzyme deficiency is, so we can't really comment on this at all, but it's another case where it might help and standard medicine should know about it if it does.

Some good possibilities get thrown under the bus for lack of interest and money by the medical profession. One of these, for instance, might be Dr. Swank's later concept that something is missing in MS blood, something that responds to blood transfusions from clean, reliable sources. He was finding that people were getting out of wheelchairs and even back into high heels, temporarily (five months at a crack) because of these transfusions. I never tried it because it was in Portland, and I was in Seattle, and it involved taking a healthy person with you from your family (needing reliable blood) to donate. My husband was working, hard to take him, and I was so exhausted that the idea of organizing this, and paying motel money again, seemed too much for me. But what if it worked well? It should have been vetted by standard medicine. But Dr. Swank retired and it never was vetted. Lots of money is poured into research on drugs, but no one was pouring money into this possibility, which would have been more positive than any drug if it worked--not a cure, but a very good therapy.

Congratulations, Dejibo, on your improvement!

Western medicine makes a profit to keep us sick or at least keep us on medicines that are far beyond our capability to afford without insurances or care programs and then we are riddled with symptoms and issues, and flares and set backs and told its all expected parts of this disease. We dont know what causes it, what cures it, or even how to prevent it. Some say Vit D others say diet, others say live in the sunny states...its just so puzzling.

My naturopath is one of a handful around the USA that uses the "god machine" and while she is a good one, there are several that are using it strictly for profit and racing large numbers of folks in and out of their doors, and as many of you know if you reach a level of sickness that it steals your life away, you WILL pay anything, you will give up anything, and you will listen to stories of bee stings and acaaai berries and monavie juices and so forth. This was a gamble for me to go, and I know that so many could never begin to afford the first treatment, let alone the follow up care, so I decided to journal it and bring you with me. Would I crash and burn in public? maybe, but I was going to be honest about it.

This time, it worked! its working, and should continue to work, but it was not my first try at something to help me. From Beta, to copaxone to baclofen to chiropractors to accupuncture, to yoga to suppliments of vit D and acaai berries and monavie juice, and steroids, and IV care, and PT and PT and EVP tests and canes, walkers, special shoes, electronic devices to force my leg muscle to kick...it adds up, and each time you fail it takes a bite out of you. To be honest I really wouldnt have looked twice at this had it not helped my cat so much. I saw it and was a believer before I left my home. I was compliant even on days I didnt want to be. I did not allow myself to be tricked or told that if it failed it was because I didnt want it badly enough. I started off blind, hobbling, and riddled with massive migraines. I am now walking 5 to 7 miles per day and starting to hike again. I dragged my bike out of the basement. I have a smile on my face. I can see! Someone finally answered me about why my hug is so bad in only one spot! 2o years I have been asking about this odd muscle reaction.

The goal is to get western medical pros to wake up and see that theirs is not the only way. STOP laughing at the LDN and stop refusing to talk to your patients about vitamin therapy, or biofeedback or acupuncture. Stop grabbing the pharmaceutical book to fix everything.

Hipocrates said that medicine should be about wellness care and keeping people healthy and not about rescue care only to try to catch them when they fall. there are villages around the world that the healer of the village is paid on how many healthy patients he has, and is deducted from one one falls ill.

Instead of seeing a patient every 10 mins and expecting to know the whole story (because dont all of our stories match?) our MDs need to slow down, stop talking, and start listening! Will I give up my neuro? no! Do I still have MS, yes but I will be quite curious to know what my next MRI shows.

Our world keeps poisoning us, subtly or blatantly, and so methods of help tend to ultimately fail. This is another problem. I've had helps that ultimately stopped helping because the cause, whatever it was, remained insistent. Things like air pollution of many kinds. Pesticides, additives in food. Additives even to clothing we buy, furniture we buy, houses and carpets we buy. Always more hidden stuff. I got a lot better by using Jin Shn Jyutsu, even studied it enough to use Jin Shin on myself, and occasionally I still stimulate some primary meridians. But it always slides back because we keep getting poisoned. I am not pointing the finger at any one poison, or even saying I know what all of them are. No one even knows what cause one cell to mutate in the bone marrow in the myeloproliferative diseases--is it radiation from a space particle, which is one thought? Pollution man made, another thought?
And then, remember the missing thing Swank talked about. In some diseases it's easy to see what's missing. Something added, something taken away, sounds like a witch's brew.

Your ability to walk so far now is wonderful, Dej. I am now walking a mile per night since I had the treatment which lowered my platelets, although me feet hurt some. But the treatment is radiation. Is that good? Can't answer. Ignorance as always.

OMG i am watching films like "tapped" about a small town in maine that is over run by the Poland Springs people so they can pump clean water out of their town and into bottles so folks can carry their water bottle where ever they go. Then they showed how those bottles are made and how many chemicals leach into the water from the bottle that is made from petroleum!

I watched "whats for Dinner" about a man who runs a restaurant and patrons starting asking "does the mean have any GMOs" since he had never heard the term he started investigating what is GMO and is is really bad for you? In the end he changed his place to be completely organic. It showed how many chemicals are used in creating a GMO (genetically modified food) and OMG! I had no idea how many products now use them! kellogs, kashi, general mills, and about 70% of the packaged foods on our food shelves have GMO in them. Aspertame, and so forth is considered a GMO since its a bacteria that is forced to poop and that poop is what is aspertame! OMG!

I saw a film about folks who live 50 miles from a processing plant in texas. (where they make those plastic bottles for water) and 75% of the populous is sick! breast cancers, MS, lupus, sarcoidosis, COPD, and so forth. SCARY! they were dumping PCBs in the snow river that ran thru the town and according to the their own internal reviews when they placed fish in water from the river, the fish died in under 4 minutes!

When we start poisoning our air, our water, our food supply and our lands so that we can drag around a bottle of water...EEEEK! America is one of the only countries that doesnt require GMOs to be labeled. you never know what you are getting.

no wonder so many are getting sick with strange things. Im a little scared. The detox program is working for me and I admit I feel so much better, cleaner, clearer, and stable. I dont think even I realized how sick I was getting.

Hi Mariel,

My husband has bone marrow issues also. Another thing to consider is electromagnetic pollution's effect at a cellular issue. John feels that this contributed to his issues in that his office was very close to high tension wires for about two years and that it was one of the triggers of his bone marrow failure.

Regarding GMO....California has ballot this fall to require the labeling of GMO foods. Hopefully this passes and start the ball rolling in this country. There's a lot of opposition from the industry. They've spent tons of money to defeat it.

In case you have a few minutes, you may want to watch this talk on the True Cost of Oil....it about the extraction of oil from the tar sand.

http://www.ted.com/talks/garth_lenz_...Qgty9.facebook

Marlene, I'm aware of electromagnetic pollution and have avoided buying a home near high tension wires. It has stopped me from buying condos when I really needed a place. It's one reason why I'm here in the desert, yuck.

I did watch part of the video on the True Cost of Oil. Beautiful country there, and wonderful ecosystem which sustains the native peoples as well as animals. But what is the alternative to seeking oil in places like this? I have no answer. Fracking in our US states is also dangerous and may cause unforeseen earthquakes and collapses of land areas. Buying from hostile nations that we have to appease is also bad. Other forms of energy have problems too. You no doubt know what they are. I am interested in Tesla energy but don't know enough about it to talk briefly (you know how you can't speak briefly about something you don't know very much about). It would be "free" and easily obtainable all over the world. Tragedy that is isn't in use, would save some countries now teetering on starvation.
