I saw the thread was getting long on the other one, so I think this will make it easier.

Phase 2 Week 1 Day 1

She was very pleased with the progress I was making, but not for the reasons I was pleased. She told me that she was pleased I was starting to sweat because that meant my lymph channels were opening up. She was pleased that my face has really lost its red color. This means I am releasing heat. She was pleased that I seemed more cognitively aware and therefore she could speak to me and know I was hearing her.

She did more tests to see if I was exposed to even more things and kept banging on one finger in one spot with her pointer thing and I said OUCH! WTH! and she said to wait, cause this simply couldnt be. She went to her library of books, and looked stuff up and came back and did it again. She said "this doesnt make any sense! and then she did it again. She turn off her machine, reset it and did it again. I said WHAT! omg you are scaring me. She wanted to know if I had ever served time in Viet Nam. (lol) I said no,sorry. She asked if I had ever been exposed to a chemical that was used as a defoliant. I said well, yes, they used that stuff on the reservation all the time. We had a vine called Kudzu and its EVERYWHERE! it grows fast, thick and crazy. She asked if one of my parents served in nam. I said my dad did, but on a Navy boat,not boots on the ground. She said yes, but his boat carried men to boots on the ground locations? I said I guessed, but didnt know. She said in her practice she has only seen it pop up 3 times in 20 years, but I somehow have been exposed to agent orange. (ok, now I am ready to walk and call BS on the whole thing.) I decided to let her finish. She talked about DDT (which I knew they spayed with great ferocity in the back woods where we lived) and she wondered if they didnt use agent orange to clear the Kudzu. She also spoke that I test positive for Ebstein Barr.

She went on to say that had I been on normal course I could just go back and see her in 60 days, and do a couple more treatments and be done, but the DDT and AO were too tough to clear without constant work. She got on the phone and did some chatting with someone and kept saying "ah..aha..oh..ok, well, that makes sense." Then she came back to me and said "I know you are ready to walk away and call me crazy, but the machine doesnt lie. before you walk off, lets talk about this. You could have received exposure to AO if one of your relatives, or a husband had been exposed. You could have been exposed if they used it to defoliate your back woods area. You could have been exposed if your dad allowed you to take tours on the boats he worked on. They never cleaned those boats of chemical exposures after they carried the troops that were exposed or even those boats and gear that got sprayed with it as they sputtered it over land and sea. Some ships carried the stuff to viet nam for use, and some stored it until ready for use. Some aircraft carriers to this day have traces of it in/on the machines. She spoke of one other woman she had seen that was the main care taker for her father who had a huge exposure and that is how she became contaminated.

She wants to see me every 7 to 10 days to clear my system of DDT/AO/EB she spoke of how much of a nerve toxin both AO and DDT are and while EB can be a problem its really the other two she is worried about and exclaimed that she didnt believe me to have a 2nd hand exposure. As with the Cat, DH and I are shaking our heads and saying...weird! dont believe her! Gonna take our money and run now!

I got home, called my mom (which was hard cause we have stopped speaking) I asked about dad and war time and didnt mention AO at all. I asked what he did in the war with viet nam. She spoke of how he would work on different boats. some aircraft carriers, some war ships, and since he was a fire fighter instructor he would go with some troops "boots on the ground" to put out the village fires caused by AO that got too closely sprayed too the populated villages. He also work on a medical ship for a while and they took care of sick and injured. I asked her if dad was ever directly exposed to AO. she said "oh yeah! all the time" it was his job to teach others how to extinguish it if it got out of control. They used it to demonstrate classes back in the early 70s. I asked if he had been tested for his exposure and she said "oh yeah, he had it, but we dont ever think he showed symptoms. oh course he was such a bad drunk you couldnt tell what was drunken behavior and what was PTSD and what was real sickness. (my mom the compassionate one)

We went on to talk about the back woods of the reservation. She spoke of how they would spray stuff from planes to try to clear the Kudzu because that stuff just wouldnt die. She said she heard rumors that they used stuff "like agent orange" but no one ever confirmed it.

We used to tour my fathers ships everytime he came home from a tour. We would sit and drink soda in the galley and lay in his bunk and wander all over that place. Then in his elder years after he lost a leg to diabetes I took him home and took care of him. It reached a point where I couldnt anymore and was forced to put him in a nursing home, but I was his main care giver and never had any idea. Breaks my heart. I would have looked harder at why he did some of the stuff he did and complained of. I just thought he was an old drunk who was dying. Now I feel bad.

ok, so the AO connection is a probable one! I have ZERO idea how she pulled that out of her hat. She said she has only seen it 3 times in all her years there, so ...she has regained my trust. DDT is easy, they sprayed that stuff everywhere on Navy bases. EB is easy I was a prison nurse. Really twisted my head around and I was ready to cry BS, but now that I put some pieces together...

She spoke of wanting to keep me on some suppliments. I told her I couldnt afford what she was selling but would seek out the same product on the internet if she was willing. (lets see if she is just selling me a product my mind was saying) and she said "normally I keep you on a product for 90 days from my hands because I know whats in it, but since you will be coming here once a week for 6 weeks I will test whatever product you bring. so, sure go ahead and use the products you can find at a cheaper source. DH bought the round of meds she wanted me to have yesterday rather than have me go home and wait to go back on them, but I have begun to seek out places that carry the same product at a much much cheaper price.

She did change some and started to do some flushing stuff. She had me hold the electrodes and let the machine work. After she was done my hands were black! sticky and black. I asked what that was, and she said it was my body releasing the toxin she had preprogramed in. im not a sweat girl so for me to have drippy palms was weird. The rim of my Tshirt was black from sweat and my underpants had black streaks from sweat lines.

I felt completely wiped out. Like I had stayed up 4 nights in a row and was ready for a nap. We spoke about my tummy and what rough shape its in. She spoke of a bio film and how my tummy has not been able to absorb the nutrients from what I eat so it didnt matter how much I ate, I am malnourished. She said I look better, but she added a product that is going to kill the bio film. Due to all the well water from the back woods she said I have parasites and have had them for a very long time (this I can believe)

She plopped a machine that was buzzy onto my chest and then handed me a brass bar to hold. It buzzed for about 3 mins and then she took it off. I noticed my racing heart had calmed down. I keep getting the feeling that a butterfly is trapped in my throat. My pulse will kick up and run to 140 and then in a few minutes it will calm down to 60. It was running when she flipped that thing on my chest, and I havent had it run since she did it. I have NO idea what she did.

She said its electronic dermatotologic stimulation and a type of biofeedback for the nervous system. since our nervous system is involuntary you can force your heart to not beat or your lymphatic to not carry out the trash, so this electrical stim helps to rebalance its energy.

I came home and slept for 12 hours. I feel better today. I feel more focused, I feel more stable. I am still tired, but its a good tired. Yesterday was a $250 visit and then the suppliments ran about $500 so, it was another big money day. When I return each week it will be $135 for the treatment. I have started shopping for suppliments and lets say this eye stuff she gives me is $79 at her shop, I found it on line for $12. looks like the same stuff. same maker, same bottle. Another one she has is $73 for a bottle that lasts 3 months. I found it on line same exact maker for $9 so that will help greatly.

In the end, I am satisfied with her answers. I am going to continue treatment thru phase two (six weeks) and I will keep taking the suppliments for another round. I am happy with the progress I am making. I am looking better, feeling better, acting better, and holding out great hope for a better tomorrow. Without DMDs and without MS sx. While I still have MS my hope is that we can put it to sleep and just let sleeping dogs lay.

I will update you every few days and after the electronic treatments, but I dont think there is a need to show up every day and say "slept well" or "up all night" I have some yucky new suppliments that promise to curl the hair on your toes, and make you gag when you take them. I will be taking them.

So, thats what happened. I will check back in a few days and let you know how its going. Thanks for sharing my ride.
