Re: Mystery sickness a month after explant. Help?!

[Guest guest]

Hi Qi,

Your experience is right in line with so many other women....tests come

out fine and doctors tell us nothing is wrong, but we know better! We

feel like dying!

We've said this often on our group....patience for healing is going to

be necessary. This sick feeling hangs on for months and sometimes

years. I was feeling like death even 18 months after explant. It was

horrible.

But slowly, slowly, things got better as I detoxed. Your immune system,

when it goes into overdrive, can take years to clear out all the

antibodies that are present. I'd say give it at least a year, and

better, two years before you should expect to feel human again. Some

women are very lucky and recover much more quickly. But I did not.

I didn't have fibro either. I don't really know what I had. I just know

I was sicker than I had ever been in my life, but the doctors just

scratched their heads in confusion about me.

To feel better.....there was nothing that was a magic pill. Nothing at

all. I did all the detoxing I could muster....but coffee enemas were

very effective and I did them most of all. Fasting was my other hope,

and I saw evidence of it working, but I always caution women to be

supervised for a fast if they are not familiar with it. Fasting

eliminated painful joints within 3 days.

I had horrible neck/head pain. I had no strength in my neck to turn my

head on my pillow at night. I nearly had to pick up my own head with my

hands to turn. That went away as I detoxed and got better.

I read something in " Breakthrough " last night about hair loss that made

me think, " I need to share this with the group " because I know alot of

women have suffered hair loss. What I read was something I never

thought of. So, I will share it from the book, page 29:

JW: If a woman is in her 20's and 30's and losing alot of her hair,

what's happening is often too little stomach acid and pepsin. Because

of that, protein isn't digested, and --what's hair made of? You got

it...protein!

Now with women in their 40's who are losing their hair, most often it's

a combination of low stomach acid, low thyroid, and of course, sex

hormone loss--mainly estrogen and progesterone. In this case, we

replace missing hormones with bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and

thyroid. Then we also replace the missing or low hydrochloric acid. But

there is one more element on the outside track--DHEA. Sometimes DHEA is

the key missing element.

SS: That's great, like a cocktail for hair loss. I also love that your

remedies are about what's missing naturally rather than finding a drug

to put a BandAid on things. So, in balding ladies, you get a gastric

analysis and it's probably low stomach acid, low thyroid, and/or lack of

DHEA and/or natural sex steroids.[hormones] What about baldness in

postmenopausal women?

JW: You often see postmenopausal women with all those little curls

close to their skulls, because they are losing so much hair, if the

curls are not close to the scalp, everyone will see their baldness.

Well, these women have very low stomach acid. They don't have much DHEA

and their thyroids are weak. Of course, their sex steroids are low,too.

If we are able to catch a woman before she's gone almost completely

bald, we can stop the process and slowly get it turned around. It's a

combination of fixing the digestion assimilation and bringing in the

requisite hormones. That usually takes care of the problem. It needs

to be known that lack of DHEA and low thyroid are bigger and bigger

factors past the age of 35.

Qi,I hope this helps you some.

I know the prospect of going back to work is almost impossible, and I

would rather see you able to stay home. Can you find a less stressful

job? Stress is a bad thing while healing, and you should do whatever

you can to eliminate it!

Qi,

Are you back at work?

Your doctor sounds very helpful...I hope she is able to move mountains

for you and get that STD.

Qi,

This is what all the other women who are desperately ill are going

through as well...I could not go out and shop with my children for

things they needed without feeling like I wanted to collapse.

It will get better in time....as hard as it is, please be patient with

your body and don't force yourself to do things you are not able to

do, as it will only prolong your healing.
