Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi Janet, I had insane inflammation after toxin exposure. I was sent to all types of drs who tried to tell me I had arthritis (i didn't), carpal tunnel (i didn't), etc. Inflammation is part of this illness - but it can be minimized much more effectively naturally, in my opinion and in my experience. Anti inflammatory pharma meds often have steroids in them - they caused me to swell up like a balloon. I felt horrible on them. I finally found an ND (licensed, Natural Dr - goes to med school but studies how to promote healing in the body, not how to medicate it with mainstream pharma) - they immediately put me on a gluten, sugar and dairy free diet - these things can naturally cause inflammation in the body. I removed stress from my life, another big inflammation cause. I got some herbal remedies that were specifically to help my body detoxify and balance. With detoxification (everything from mold, mercury, toxins in drinking water, etc) I have begun to heal. No pharma meds or surgery were needed. My thyroid, which was off the charts, has returned to the normal range. (My MD had NO IDEA how that happened without synthroid, but my ND assured me that this happens all the time...MDs are simply not trained to heal people in the same way - they're trained to give out medication, not seek the root cause for the issue.) I am so thankful that I listened to my body and when they tried to pump meds down me and suggested surgery I said NO....we must search further to understand what is happening here. I would encourage you, if you're open to it, to seek advice from a qualified ND or Chinese Medicine Dr/herbalist. I'd imagine that you will be amazed by the results. I no longer have joint pain like I used to! I used to have a hard time standing up when I first got out of bed...now, I get up, no issues. I used to get stiff during the day - not a problem anymore. Be well, good health to you. Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
