slow to heal - but moving in the right direction

[Guest guest]

HI shelia,

Yes, I have been through the suppliment/ accidophilus path before, but

thanks for asking. I went to a nutrition doctor for a littler over 2

years and was taking lots of suppliments: mult-vitimin, anti-oxident,

flax seed oil, ground flax seed, acidophilus, parasite killing herb

pill, homeopathics as times as well as various glandulars. Did it

help, well maybe temporarily.

After thousands of dollars in pills and driving a long way to see him

every 2 weeks, I decided to give it a rest.

It seems I am allergic to most vitimins. I told natural vitimins and

those are made from food, and since I am allergic to most food, the

vitimins made me sick. And since I was allergic to them, the pill

were just one more thing my liver had to detox.

Anyway, I feel eating the foods I can cooked in a way I can handle, is

the best route for me. I use no suppliments and eat only organic

veggies and grass fes meat. I am not as cold as I used to be. I try

to eat as much fat as I can tolerate, this warms me as I am very thin.

Allergic to all oil coconut, olive etc and butter. Even using shamppo

with coconut oil in it produces a rash.

I did try to add coconut milk to my soups. Did not aggree with me. I

eat mostly soups as they are easier to digest. As long as I eat

before 7pm, I usually am fine. If not, I can't sleep. The liver

cleans the blood between 1-3 am and if you eat too close to bedtime,

you are telling you body, I really don't want to clean my blood

tonight, I would prefer to digest food. The blood gots to the

intestines and not to the live to be cleaned. I think the reason

sleep is nearly impossible if food is eaten too close to bed, is that

the intestines make hormones to help you to sleep and being full of

food kinda messes that up.

I am so happy you are feeling better, and that there is light at the

end of this very long tunnel. I had to quit college after 3 1/2 years

due to stomach reflux and loosing 20 pounds. I was 100 pounds when I

got married. I am 40 now and have stuggled with diggestion problems

all this time. I have tried many different kinds of doctors, and

suppliments, thinking each time, I have finally found the answer, and

each time feeling really dumb, when I discovered that I was barking up

the wrong tree yet again. I really though my number was up back in

november when I dropped down to 94 pounds. I am 5' 4 " , so a tad

underweight wouldn't you say? But I am back up to 101, so things are

looking up. I stumbled across westonaprice.org in the strangest way.

As soon as we got access to the internet about 2 years ago, I did many

searches for various health problems, looking for " THE " answer, as if

someone would be holding up a red flag saying click on this site

and you will be healed. Well no such luck. The internet is a maze

and I tended to get lost. I stumbled across a web site for a

suppliment that was supposed to help allergies, fibromyalgia, pain,

etc. I ordered some over the phone. Did they help, I don't think so,

but I got into this long conversation on the phone with the lady I

orderd them from and she told me the value of eating meat to heal and

about www.westonaprice.org. Wow, I always loved meat and really

disliked veggies all my life, and always thought fat-free stuff tasted

like crap. Now I could eat the way I wanted to and know that it was

healthy and feel good about it. I never bought into that low fat

stuff anyway. The suppliments were made by dehydrating bone broth,

and she made them at first to heal her own fibromyalgia. I think God

helped me when I was finally ready to listen and not feel I could go

this alone. Well, I can't.

I think I have trouble with gelatin capsules, is why I could not take

the pills.

Well, I make lots of stock, and thing that is more tasty and more

interesting that swallowing a bone broth pill.

Medications are holding me back from healing because they are toxic to

the liver and kidneys as most medication is and one can never be

healthy if ones filtering organs are sick.

I am tapering off then though, and much of my healing will take place

after the last pill is swallowed, but until I will eat what I can and

avoid what I can't.

Dissatisfied with my doctor(s). 100%! I am my own doctor now, and

only have myself to blame if I don't heal up. I read books and sites

like this. One only learns by getting imput from others and I am

learning from this humbling experience that I don't know everything or

even much. When people used to say when I was a kid, why are you so

quiet? I would answer, you can't learn much with your mouth running.

If I could only listen to my own words of wisdom now and shut up

already. I am quite noisy and I hate that part of me. I think it is

all just a part of the mind fog that comes along with having liver/

kidney problems.

I do have food phobia though. Scared to try foods that have ever made

me sick. I will take a lot of courage to try raw goats milk. I read

someplace the other day that you can spread raw yogert on your body

and the body will absorb the accidoplilus and enzymes and it will not

have to go through the digestion system. This is supposed to help

with candida and the author siad it made his skin baby soft.

I was told by a herbalist that you can spread stuff on your feet and

it will get absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly. I said why

the feet, he responded, all the nerve endings or meridians or

something like that end up in your feet. SO unless I want to be a

yogerty mess, I might try my feet first and see if that is effective.

Thank you so much for your concern. I realy do appreciate it. and

sorry about the book I just wrote.
