friend got electocuted
 

I am asking for my new friend Karen.
18 months ago she was injured by an arc that entered her abdomen area and exited her head. She had severe burns on top of her head and lost hair, has never grown back, etc. She believes she has radiation poisoning from this.
She has been spitting up gray secretions in copious amounts over time. She believes that her body is trying to get rid of the toxicity. She wants to help heal her body.
Any suggestions? supplements to take??

I know that this is not our normal topic but did not know where to go...:(

I and she thinks the gray secretions are from her stomach.
She has multiple problems. Is disabled from a car accident.
Severe pain in her head and feet.
Is a strict vegetarian, and is gluten intolerant. She reads labels of everthing. She has chronic exhaustion and fatigue.
I began eating lunch with her at a health food store about 6 weeks ago.
I am greatful to have her friendship.
Her family mother and daughter who live in town want nothing to do with her...but she did go over there for a couple of hours on thanksgiving.

She is ocd, and lives out of boxes.
I helped her move boxes around her apartment one day.
I believe she could easily be a hoarder, but has only lived in this apartment since september 1st. and there are already piles of paper, bags of plastic bags, plastic forks and other things and groceries. She won't use the cupboards because they are not clean. I asked her if i could clean them for her and she said she was fine having them in bags on the floor.


I will have to be mindful of my mental health and put up boundaries on this relationship.

I have a christian therapist that goes by a sliding scale. I am going to call her and see if she is still seeing clients.

Acupuncture. If she can not afford acupuncture, she can do pressure points on herself.

Thank you mari.
another forum friend posted information for karen.
Which led me to a support group site so I printed out pages to give to her with the web site address.

I have never heard about anyone spitting up gray secretions. Maybe you could ask Karen more about what it looks like, or what the texture is, etc. It may just sound bizarre because of the way she has chosen to label it. It could be from another medical condition related or unrelated to one she already has, and a better description could help you help her. Does she get regular medical care?

Obviously, just because someone has/may have mental health issues doesn't mean they can't be a great friend. WE are all great friends, but it makes me happy to read this:
