Re: healing MS/You can heal you life

Maybe I don't have MS because that doesn't desciube me at all. I was a

soft hearted pushover until the illness taught me to be strong...Lydia

Hi Lydia!

Just wanted to call your attention to the last word there - fear.

Were you a pushover b/c of fear, maybe? Fear of " rocking the boat " ,

fear of anger or rejection from others, or consequences of saying no?

Sometimes these issues aren't at the surface but are languishing

beneath " our radar " . I think I still have a lot of fear issues to

work on myself - still hate confrontation with friends and loved ones

and do my best to avoid it. But logically, I know that walking away

and internalizing my feelings are not healthy for me either!

Or the fact that my MIL is CRAZY with fear, stubborness, anger, hate

and any other negative emotion - plus is at LEAST 100lbs overweight,

ate crap food all her life (and to this day) and she is (currently)

healthy as a horse....(at age 76)

Not at all, if one believes in karma and that we have chosen our

particular path for this life to learn the lessons we need for growth

and evolution. Just another one of those " notions " one can choose to

believe or not.

I consider my MS to be one of the biggest blessings of my (current)

life. I'm healthier than I've ever been and can serve as an example

to others of what the mind, body, and spirit is capable of outside of

the world of western medicine. To be able to walk through these kinds

of challenges and reach a place of peace & bliss is amazing and I'm

extremely grateful for it!

I tend to think (mentioned this before) that none of this is a black

and white matter. Rather, I feel that it's a spectrum and each

individual body reacts/adapts/compensates individually. There are far

too many variables to say that chronic disease is caused strictly by

physical or emotional issues. We can identify all kinds of links and

I'm definitely going to try and cover my bases, but I think many of us

have learned that, like cause, the means to healing is very individual.

When I worked in blood banking, I once crossmatched units for an

elderly woman who had come in with severe anemia. Her chief complaint

was " she felt a little tired " . Her hemoglobin was 3g/dL. Normal

range is around 11 to 16 g/dL and her level is

considered " incompatible with life " . Nevertheless, her body had

adapted and compensated in a stupefying way. After one unit of packed

cells, she was like a new woman, raring to go home. That one unit

hardly brought her to a normal level and she needed more units, but

she responded really well to some more oxygen available to her cells!

I have heard that the emotions that lead to a disease like MS are

unresolved grief or trauma. A person that is sensitive to others

feelings and I it is rumored that intelligent people get diseases like

MS. I think what causes any form of a chronic illness is stress of some

sort and a combination of exposure to other things for example

chemicals you are not aware of and probably a poor diet. I don't

believe MS is caused by hardhertedness because then I would not have MS

which maybe now I finally know that I don't have it. I have always been

very soft hearted and helped all my friends and family when they needed

help. A lot of things people have done around me -- family and friends

have hurt me deeply and I could not handle it so to speak. I lost my

father through a divorce when I was 17 years old. He has not seen me

since I became ill. The break in that relationship has hurt me all my

life even though I had told myself that I " had come to terms with it. "

I was always shy and quiet as a child and had to force myself to be

outgoing and to speak up to survive in the real world. Some of my

friends who I thought were close friends don't even bother today to see

how I am feeling or how I am doing. I told my mom the other night that

it hurts me and she said I hate to tell you this but it is probably out

of sight out of mind. I believe in my case it was this hurt that I felt

and the high levels of stress in my life that caused my body to break

down.

I was questioning the spelling as I was typing that out.I cant agree with you

about hardheartedness is the further est part of my personality, I have been

known to be way too sensitive to others and needs, my husband has said, I become

mentally incapable, LOL.

..

But as time goes on, things that I have been through I have defiantly harden

to in some areas in my life or certain situations, so maybe that what she means

by that.

Have a Happy and Healthy Day,
