* I feel PINK today, hehe... (replies will be in pink)In a message dated 5/21/2009 2:51:42 PM Central Daylight Time, docbry@myjourneytob eauty.com writes:

- Wow, so you still have the implants?

Yes, I do, only because I have been too ill to have the surgery to remove them.  I couldnt find anyone willing to remove them until I spoke with Dr Kolb by email, and she said if I got  cardiac clearance and lung clearance... ... she would do the surgery for me.  Unfortunately, I dont have clearance quite yet, and I have had to spend the money I was going to use to go there on

medical expenses cuz of the lung nodules and things...... .I am having faith that by the time I get clearance, I will find a way to have the surgery done to remove these.  She is in Atlanta

and I am in Texas.....

My ejection fraction was less than 20 %  in 2005......it is much better now since this CRT-D is running my heart.....and keeping it in check.

I have been shocked 12 times, 830 volts each !  Kicked my butt ! !

- Wow, Sis, you've been through a lot... at present, I am setting up a free clinic which will be based in my church, so that the church can share with the manpower.

As I have told Sandy, a few weeks ago, I removed saline implants from an Australian patient, her left implant already ruptured a few years back. Upon opening up, we saw a lot of seroma around the implants already, we had to do total cleaning of the area and of course, did a proper capsulectomy, which we believe that it is necessary for proper healing. Without doing a capsulectomy, the body continues to attack the remaining capsule which will later form a bigger and bigger scar tissue, not to mention retaining the toxic remains of the implants.

   My silicone rupture was back in the early 90's, I got these salines.  ( stupid is as stupid does...)  Forrest Gump.......

But they didnt expect me to outlive the implants.... .that is how

ill I was back then........

but........I got worse....... .....they actually said I needed a

heart transplant, but were sending me home to die....they said I would spend the rest of my life in and out of the ER to get the fluid drained from my lungs and off my body........

I spent the next 8 mos or so dieing like they said, emotionally, and physically.  They stripped me of all hope....... and I was in the hospital a couple times with pancreatitis, and kidney and liver failure..... ....but.. ......... ......... ..not due to me or illness I had......it was due to all the medicine they had me on.......they had me on  spironolactone, lasix, and metolazone.. .....all 3 every day !

So I researched my bum off and found out if you were low in aldosterone and renin that it would cause your salt and water to not function properly.... ...so, I got my kidney specialist to run the tests for me, and they were low ! !

No amount of diuretic was gonna work.

A matter of fact, diuretics now shut my kidneys down for some odd reason, I have tried them a couple times  since to see if they would work, and they dont......they have the opposite effect.

Since I weined myself off of those, I no longer visit the hospital every 2 months.....

When I am very strict with my sodium and fluid intake,

I dont retain as much fluids...  I am working hard to loose the

80 lbs I gained since the heart quit working well.  I feel like

a giant water balloon ! 

Anyway, I have had around 7 or so chest surgeries... ... 3 implants

the rest were  removal of tumors that grew due to the free floating silicone.  The silicone implants were under the muscle so it had free range for a good while, and they detatched my entire chest wall each time they removed the strips of tissue with the tumors in it.

It even migrated up over my right shoulder.  Also a good bit of my right pectoral muscle had to be removed. 

Rule of thumb, never believe it if someone tells you

that you are going to die....only God knows......

I only got these implants because I wasnt expected to

live 5 or so years, this was in the 90's........ ....

Then 2 doctors the cardiologist and the infectious

disease internal medicine doctor both told me they

were sending me home to die......they must have co-ordinated

their speaches ahead of talking to me.........

That was crule ! !

- tell me about it... that's the story of my life. =) It's ironic that I ended up being a medical doctor wherein when I was around 5 years of age, I suffered an unknown gastrointestinal case. According to my parents, my symptoms were change in consciousness and orientation, very high fever, and inability to eat. Diagnoses from Amebiasis, to volvulus to lactose intolerance, and the list goes on and on...My fever was so high that I was already placed on ice bath. All the known antibiotics were already given via IV and with no improvement.The doctors told my parents already that they couldn't do anymthing more for me and advised them to send me home.My mother, upon reaching home refused to give up, till my aunt advised my mom to take me to an herbalist, which was done in secret because my grandfather, who was a medical doctor would refuse to acknowledge any alternative medicines.Anyway, I was taken to the herbalist and he placed some herbs and different concoctions on my abdominal area and wrapped my up. According to my mom, the herbs burned my skin slightly, but after a few

days, I passed out black substance per anal route, and after that, I miraculously became okay... till here I am now, answering your emails. =)I did try to look for that herbalist after I knew about my childhood near-death situation but he already passed away. 

- Wow, quite a long list you have.

   Doctors gave me those on that list  !  I accepted them ! ! 

  I owned them, lived them, and while I did that,   I was dieing !  When they pulled the carpet out from under me and sent me home to die, I was as good as dead, as well as depressed. 

Then I got a bit angry at myself for believing them....

They werent God......

Then I got angry at them for stripping me of hope

and dignity.  I was not worth saving...... that is how they

made me feel......and what they told me in few words. 

I didnt have insurance  coverage for a transplant, and it costs

money they said, they said I had to have a means to even

be put on the transplant list.   - you sound like my Australian patient, she was brought by a dentist friend after she was refused in Australia to be explanted due to financial issues. My friend said that she was a battered wife and that she left her husband and wanted to start over. One of those problems she had was her ruptured saline implant, which she has had for years already. Okay, if you were in my place, wouldn't your heart melt? I have always had a place in my heart for those who want to change, start-over or to improve. So I told my friend that I would do the explantation at a very very low cost for the patient. We pulled strings here and there to get more discounts with the hospital operating room cost, anesthesiologist,

etc... She is now happy, contented and very excited with life.  

Months went by while I was dieing, then I got mad and

thought, what they did to me stripping me of hope cuz of money was wrong, and really bad ! ! 

I decided to not accept their bad, it was THEIR bad, not mine.   They should never strip someone of their hope cuz of money.  Actually they never asked me if I had money, only if I had insurance.    - that is one thing that I hate the most...

Back to your comment,  - Wow, quite a long list you have.

* * *  Thank God I dont have them......I wont own them....

when I did, I was dieing !   * * *

Now I only own myself-my soul.  This body I use as a vehicle.

It has its challenges, so I am working to do things so it can heal itself.  I am working to heal it so my soul has a residence while I am here.  - and maybe through your ordeal, you might find your real purpose in this world, and would find yourself more attuned with God and with life.

- in one of my replies I explained the MSH test significance, maybe... just maybe, to make some sense of the symptoms, what if your mucus production went haywire due to the MSH depletion from the biotoxins, then your sinuses were filled with mucus (which by the way, can happen without any runny nose), which can ensue the following symptoms

I have never had the MSH test..... although I am sure I have

systemic fungal infection, maybe multiple strains of it.

besides these implants being the same kind as many that had the black moldy implants, I spent much of my time in caves and in indian ruins hunting  for artifacts and digging in old  musty

dirt,  I did this for about 2 years !  all the time, out in the dessert as well as the foresty wooded areas around and near creeks and things...... ....I thought I had an infection, and took 2000 mg of mexican ampicillin a day for 14 days.  I thougt I might have a bacterial infection... .I was really sick...- JUST A SIDE-COMMENT: Are you an archeologist or something similar? There was a time in my life when I wanted to be one. =)

severe headache- pain between the eyes- some patients describe the pain as if its like someone is gouching their eye sockets-

  I have had migranes since 1992.  I used to get trigger point injections in the back of my head and kenalog very frequently, that is probably what caused the osteoporosis.  The only thing that helps my migranes which affects my whole head, even my hair, is ice...packing my head in ice...... I also use the Silva method to put myself to sleep,    The back of my neck and head, the top of my head, my temples, with sometimes shooting pain thru the right side of my head near my temple out the top of my head, sometimes my eyeballs are swollen and I can feel them rubbing on the bones in the eye sockets. This is only during some really bad headaches.  I also have the nausia and the sensitivity to light.   I sometimes get the occular nerve migranes sometimes with a headache, sometimes without..... ..

I had a 3 1/2 week non-stop migrane a couple years ago where I just cringed in pain and cracked a bunch of teeth from cringing.- wow, it's that bad, huh, I'm sorry to hear that.

   imbalance- worst case: death from infection that speads to the

brain since the sinuses are just separated from the brain by a very thin bone.Well, that's just a theory... again, as a Devil's Advocate.

The swelling is off and on, and it worst when I have overall increased edema.   I always have edema cuz of the heart and kidneys.  It just gets worse sometimes. 

The last time I had the leaning big head feel, there was no headache.  This was a couple days ago.... The skin on my face

actually is swollen from edema, and the skin on my eyes

I can see cuz it is hanging down with swelling....

My tongue is too big for my mouth too a good bit of the time

like with swelling....

Methylene chloride can react with iron, so does this mean it also

reacts with human blood ? ? Just a thought - IT CAN REACT WITH THE IRON PART OF THE BLOOD, THE HEME PART... WHICH CAN ENSUE A PSEUDOPORPHYRIA CONDITION.

Do you suppose this could be part of PH's problem, since you

suggested she read about prophyria ? cuz her symptoms

mimmick it ? ?  - I am asking everyone who has similar symptoms if their condition fits it. As for PH, it's a possibility.

As far as these implants are concerned, I am sure

they are moldy....I am also sure they have calcifications

all over them, as when I move my chest certain ways, I feel

like I am being cut up with razors in there.   Very

uncomfortable !

Also, many times when I lay on my left side, it makes

my heart thump and flip and jump around like a monkey

and it makes me feel really weird, so I have to not lay

on that side......

Oh, one more thing, since I have so much edema.....

I also have a problem with everytime I lean over

even just alittle, water runs out my nose.  This has

been going on for about almost 3 years now.- whoa, nasal drips are usually due to sinus problems. Can you do something for me? Stand up, then without bending your legs, can you dangle your head down lower than your hips. Keep this position for a few minutes, if you have pain between your eyes, you have some sort of sinusitis.

It is worse the more edema I have. 

Right now, I am taking 1600 mg of cap acid with pau d'arco in it each meal. ( I eat 2 times a day )  I drink kefir that I make , 2 times a day, I consider my first cup my breakfast... ...I also mix coldpressed organic flax oil with cottage cheese because Dr Johanna Budwig found that mixing flax with a sulphurated protein helped it bind , do you find that to be true ? ? anyway, I eat about 3 heaping  teaspoons before  lunch and before  dinner.

I make sure one meal a day is all raw vegetables.  I dont eat

processed foods or fried, and only very rarely eat out.

Thank you for all your help.....you are a blessing to us !

Dede

* I feel PINK today, hehe... (replies will be in pink)

Doc,

Funny you say that you felt PINK today.....,

when my mom was going thru the transition process

before passing, she woke up one day and said she

felt blue that day......So, my sister decided

to make the day blue....she went to the store

and bought us some blue t-shirts and we all wore

blue. they also had Betty Boop on them.......

Mom was so funny that day...she was

like in-between here and there. It was a blue

day, and SHE was Betty Boop, all day !

She was in end stages of pancreatic cancer....

and this was within days of her complete

to the other side. Caring for my mom in her

last couple months was a real gift !

I will be blue today in honor of my mom....

Thank you for the memory !

- Wow, Sis, you've been through a lot... at present, I am setting

up a free clinic which will be based in my church, so that the

church can share with the manpower.

Oops ! I am Dede, and yes, I have travelled quite a long

and winding road.... and Sis has to.....

That is awesome what you are doing to help others !

I so wish that everyone in the world would " pay it forward "

and live a loving life.

- tell me about it... that's the story of my life. =) It's ironic that I ended up being a medical doctor wherein when I was around 5 years of age, I suffered an unknown gastrointestinal case.

That just goes to show you that we are here for a reason !

We may not know why we experience different things but

there is always a learning experience with each journey.

Doesnt that feel so good ? ? You know if you can say or do something that helps impact someone elses life in a positive

light, that is such a gift to both !

- that is one thing that I hate the most...

Me too, the greed that has gotten out of hand is

very scarey.......but as with all things, they happen

for a reason....I am hoping that life evolves into

a loving, giving, sharing, and peaceful world.....

- and maybe through your ordeal, you might find your real purpose in this world, and would find yourself more attuned with God and with life.

That is exactly what my life is about....everyday I wake up with joy, and I cant wait to see who might need some words of encouragement, or just a simple I Love you......

- JUST A SIDE-COMMENT: Are you an archeologist or something similar? There was a time in my life when I wanted to be one. =)

No, I am not......I would love to be tho......there is something about the true history of the world.....and the energy fields that exist

in everything.....I can hold something that someone created

years ago, like a pottery shard, or a arrowhead or tool, and I

can feel their energy....their vibration, and I respect that

and I take great care of my pieces....and honor their energy....

I found a chrystal clear arrowhead once and a tooth right there

near it, and the tooth is in such good condition, I just knew they belonged together, so I have them in a case together.

I used to sit on these huge rocks in the ruins and just

feel the energy of the people that used to sit there and

do their thing, enjoy the beauty of the earth, and wonder

what all history was seen from that exact rock....

- wow, it's that bad, huh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yes, it was a very trying period of time with

horrible pain, even pain meds did not touch....

When it finally stopped, it was like heaven !

- whoa, nasal drips are usually due to sinus problems. Can you do something for me? Stand up, then without bending your legs, can you dangle your head down lower than your hips. Keep this position for a few minutes, if you have pain between your eyes, you have some sort of sinusitis

I just did, and no pain at all ......

Thank you for sharing with me .......

Thank you for the memory ! - as long as we are remembered by one person for the love that we have given, we have achieved immortality. =)

- Wow, Sis, you've been through a lot... at present, I am setting

up a free clinic which will be based in my church, so that the

church can share with the manpower.

Oops !  I am Dede, and yes, I have travelled quite a long

and winding road....  and Sis has to.....- I meant, "Sister", as a term that I will also use for all of you, my found sisters. =)

That is awesome what you are doing to help others !

I so wish that everyone in the world would " pay it forward "

and live a loving life.- I have this patient, she was one of the first patients that I've had when I started my practice. Before I went into cosmetic training, I was handling general medicine, it was then that I've met my patient and her family. She openly told me at first meeting that she didn't have enough money for any medical treatment so she said if I could somehow prescribe the cheaper meds.Anyway, to make a long story short, she did become my patient, for years I have handled her condition and her family. I'm sure it's hard for anyone who doesn't know me to understand me, because you don't know my background.Well, to give a short background, I didn't come from a well-off family, we were a middle class

family that was surviving because of the different timely help of other people.I finished through med school because my aunt and uncle in the US were supporting for my education. So, in short, all that I have actually came from different people that helped me and my family.People might see me now as a successful doctor but they have a hard time imagining that I was just a product of grace after grace.It is because of my background that I have always kept a special place in my heart for people who need help. I have formed a medical ministry where we help out people in need of medical attention.I feel like I became a Robin Hood of sort, since my cosmetic practice pays for the medicines of the not so financially endowed.One day, after caring for my patient who was admitted in the hospital, she asked, "Doctor, why don't you ask us to pay for your services? We don't have much but we want to show our gratitude in the small ways that we can."Twas then that I told her about my background, how I am standing in front of her because of people who has helped me. I told her that she can no longer repay to me everything that I have done for her, but she can repay to to someone else who needs her help. Should that person she helped would ask her how he / she can repay her, I made her promose to tell that person to do the same that she did.I guess I am trying to change the world one heart at a time... =)I am a person that is very hard to understand, I am not an outright Mother if you se me, I am just like any other doctor, but the difference is what I do on the side. Like I said, I feel like I am a Doctor Robin Hood, I give to the poor the money that I get from the rich. =)Oh, my, was I babbling... haha, am sorry, I got carried away again with my thoughts and sentiments.Yeah, I have learned at a young age that "Charity is the rent that we pay for our stay on this planet", that's from Gandhi, and that we are all here for a purpose, an

interplay of service for others and for our loved ones.  

- tell me about it... that's the story of my life. =) It's ironic that I ended up being a medical doctor wherein when I was around 5 years of age, I suffered an unknown gastrointestinal case. According to my parents, my symptoms were change in consciousness and orientation, very high fever, and inability to eat.

Yes, it was a very trying period of time with

When it finally stopped, it was like heaven ! - They say that we would never get to apprciate heaven if we haven't felt the pain.
