Hi Lea,

Thank you for your very sweet letter. Yes, it's true we need to take the best of conventional and alternative medicine. I was diagnosed with the UC from a colonoscopy. After that I had to go on the steroids because we couldn't stop very heavy bleeding. It's a challenge but if there's one thing we all know about here, its challenge!!

I'm glad your H-pylori is gone, that encouraging. I've heard diverticulitis is quite painful also. All I know about that is to have higher fiber diet, drink plenty of water, stay away from nuts and seeds for the obvious reasons and papaya seems to be on the list of recommended foods. Don't get constipated.. slippery elm could help you if you have problems there. Gee remember the days you went out wit your girlfriends and didn't talk about stuff like this?

The leg has to be dealt with. I have another appt with him the end of the month to discuss alternative ways to deal with this (I hope he's receptive).. meaning not using the chemicals he normally does in his procedures but less toxic ones for me. ..and as you say keep the faith and hang in there.

I'm distressed that I still have the capsules as I know this impedes my wellness. I can't believe they weren't removed. Was so angering to me is I've been to so many environmental clinics with these docs that are "supposed" to be top notch. They teach on and on about how to detoxify and build up the system.. so I've had the boot camp there, but never went into silicone deal . Every time I would bring up silicone they'd make a face of some type of disdain. Very angering They just didn't want to talk about it. You'd hope that out of all of them one would ask the question about them or something??? So all these years have gone by, I've been fighting like a maniac for my life, getting all this medical care with the capsules still in. I wish I could sue and dissect the whole AMA. I've had a tough few years since the onset of the UC in particular and then other things on top of the usualso I am dealing

with a lot of anger over all this lately. I guess if I get through this surgery, (one of three).. maybe I will calm down and get some faith back and be able to move on with healing again. Lets hope so I don't like being this way.. kind of at the end of my rope with the whole mess.

I'l have to get back to you on not alowing it to destroy our lives...since I'm not in a good head right now. Intellectually, I can say that we need to stay focused on our quest of wellness, embrace what we love and cherish (for me it's my animals and music), and try to hold on to ouselves. We're not the illness, it's only something we live with. I heard a great saying recently that went like this: We need to be better than who we think we are"

I really like that one.

Hugs,

 Oh, :

Thank you for wanting to help me, you are so sweet. I am sorry that you have so many health problems. Things will get better; however, it can take a long time:however, you seem to have quite a bit of knowledge on how to cope with your health problems.

Honey, I know nothing about digestive enzymes, but I do take probiotics. My H-Pylori seems to be gone, and we hope that it will not come back. I do have Diverticulosis, and we thought that is was irritable bowel syndrome...there is no test for IB. I do not have Ulcerative Colitis, which is very painful disease. Have you had a Colonoscopy, because it is important for your doctor to know what is going on. We have done the rotation diet, and I have tried to cut all sweets from my diet. I have kiwi, apples and oranges several times per week. We always use olive oil to cook, and we use very little butter...only on toast.

I am so sorry that you are having problems with your leg, and sometimes we must use traditional medicine. All of my doctors are really wonderful, and they mix holistic medicine with traditional medicine. I have B12 shots without additives, and I take Vitamins, but I am on blood thinners. This makes it hard to get some of the good greens that I need in my diet. We are very good at reading labels on food. I know that you will get well; however, it will take time for the poisons to come out of your body. Silicone never leaves the body; however, I think that we can stop it from destroying our lives...not sure how to do this, but we must never give up.

Thank you again, because your support is very precious to me...love always...Lea

Leaky Gut and other digestive problems:

I have severe digestive problems, and this site has given me some important information. My diet could be causing some of my problems; however, I am pretty careful with my diet. My severe digestive problems started years ago, and now that my implants are removed they still continue....love to all....Lea

I just want to say the dietary changes are really a pain no question, very difficult. The guten is bad news and everyone is different. It's so important to figure out what doesn't agree with you. But with Diverticulitis, soft food, chew food well before you swallow, healing vegetables, digestive enzymes if you need them. If you have bloating, gas, distention, discomfort in abdomen, intestines or colon after meals, you need them. So many different types will get into it if you want to Lea. I wouldn't eat anything that might lodge in the sacks.. .like the nuts or seeds mentioned earlier... just common sense stuff you probably know.

Hugs,

I am so sorry you are dealing with so much....you are right, talking ailements is something we always thought that wouldnt happen to us, or at least til we were a nice ripe and much older age.....

When thinkin of the body you work with, take it a step further.....

Think of you as healthy and vibrant, focus your mind there, also picture yourself in your mind as young, healthy and vibrant. Keep that picture of you in your head. Every time you stray from those thoughts pull them both back....Then when you think of the body that you are working with, it is totally separate from you. There is a body, that has a brain that controls it, then separate from that, YOU, your mind, your soul, all live outside the body.....

When I died in my front yard and was gone for those 10 minutes, it taught me that gift. The real gift of spearation from the body....It was an awesome experience, and I feel so lucky I had it....

I hope that the road you are travelling gets much easier over time...

I am sure it will......

Sending you love, peace, healing energy and hope

My major health problems seem to be getting better, but it has taken forever for me. I know that the capsules are causing many of my problems. I had been so very angry for years, but I know that is not good. Each day I try to do something that I love to do, and we have two cats as well. They are our little support system, and they love us unconditionally.

Please stay close to this group, and we will help you to get through this...love....Lea

Hi Dede,

Thank you for you inspiring words. How long have you been sick because you have a very good attitude and apparently have suffered (and still do) immensely. When you originally wrote your story to me, I was just kind of shaking my head. One thing we do that changes our lives forever. The medical system such a disgrace. I just wonder now what's still inside of me. Anyway, you hang in there too and keep up the good work, So you died for 10 minutes... did you ever tell that story in the group.. as well as the spiritual part, I'd like to hear it if you're up to telling again.

I'm gonna grab all those great blessings you sent me.. thanks again and right back at you

Hugs,

Oh, Honey:

You are so sweet, and we are happy that you have joined our special group. Superman is my husband, , and Dede gave him that name many years ago. She knew how much that he had helped me over the years, and he has helped many women as well, especially here. teaches history here at one of the universities, and he has been through so much. He always comes to every doctor's appointment with me, and he is never afraid to speak up. loves our little cats, and knowing that there was a cat called Superman, made him smile.

He helped me through my litigation, which took 13 years, and it nearly killed us both. They are so powerful, and cruel, and we are thankful that it is over.

Stay close, and try to wear a mask when you are in a chemical area...I do...love you...Lea
