Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi Arianna, I read your post and Im so sorry that you have been through so much in recent times. Severe emotional upsets can definitely have a negative impact physically, especially because the mind is very much connected with your physical body. I cannot advise you on the diet part of it because I think its best to leave it to the experts on here, but Im wondering if the tighness in your throat can be indicative of a food allergy that you developed from the emotional distress. Food allergies can be triggered anytime throughout ones life time and emotional upset is a ligitimate trigger. You may want to eliminate things one at a time and see how you feel. Hang in there and you'll eventually get what it is. Be sure to continue to surround yourself with supportive people. I send to you a big healing hug! Lore > > > > > hi bee... > > i havent written in a while now. but there a many things i have been feeling since last i did write. i have been on the diet for about 20 months. i felt i was progressing with certain things, and inbetween i would have these " breakdowns " . i would completely lose it emotionally, and have all of these phsical symptoms along with it. i wouldnt be able to do much at that time phsically, or the symptoms would get worse. i would just wait it out, and eventually get stronger again. > since my brother was shot, and my mom had a heart attack i have been trying to take it easy as much as possible. i hvae been working on deep breathing, taking baths, and releasing emotion. as you know about a week after my brother was shot i experienced a tightness in my throat, and then my heart starting hurting. all of that released about a month ago for a couple weeks...and now is back again. its seems to be worse now. my throat gets so tight sometimes that it feels as though i am choking. sometimes its like a gaging feeling. a lot of burping, it seems as though if i am siting or lying down i am ok, but once i get up and start moving around or begin talking my heart starts beating really fast, and i feel pressure in my body especially in the head, neck, chest, ribcage area. i have been super emotional lately, and have released alot more emotion through crying breakdowns, i talk to friends, a sister at a church, and others to help. the emotions are clearing out...but the phsical stuff is still around. sometimes my lungs feel tight, and my adrenals hurt. i have been watching my sea salt consumption, and i am ok on that. i have had to cut down on buter...and cannot tolerate egg drinks anymore. it makes my throat super tight. i have seen docs, done blood tests, checked out my heart. i know last time you said you couldnt help me anymore...but i am wondering if you can give me a little reassurance now...sometimes i feel scared. > > arianna > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about you and praying you are able to get through these terrible tragedies. I said I couldn't help you because I cannot do anything about your emotional suffering, except to advise you to follow the program carefully. It is mainly the nutrients that are so important for your physical health, and they also help you emotionally. It is natural to feel scared because of what you've been through. Whenever you remember your brother or your mother having a heart attack it will bring back all of the emotional and the physical responses you had during those times. So the best you can do for yourself is this program, and don't doubt that it is helping you in spite of your emotional reactions.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 hi bee... thank you for thinking of me:) i have another question. since the symptoms i am experiencing are so severe...and it seems as though certain foods trigger it even more ( all the fats). i have had to cut down on the butter to very little. do you think i should cut down on coconut oil too? i am at 4 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons. arianna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
