Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Darian, It sounds as though you have some wonderful "new" life in your life! Kids are so awesome. Enjoy every minute. You are so right in that you can't allow yourself to go to far down. Many of us have had this disease for many years. I'm at 14 or 15 yrs myself. One of the biggest challenges with boosting your immune system is that your immune system is so powerful, it is already attacking you. That is why we suppress the immune system. Over the years, I've found that diet, hydration, light exercise (very light) is the best medicine. You might want to look into the Gerson Therapy Diet- they have clinics all over the world that have a better success rate than most cancer clinics. It's extreme, but worth a look. Another excellant book that I've found and am beginning to use for my own issues is THE SUGAR SOLUTION. It is amazing at how many pituatary and hypothalmus and thyroid issues are effected by even small blood sugar issues. (More than 50% of the population is now thought to be in "insulin resistance" due to the High Fructose Corn Syrup that is in almost all of our prepared foods. That and our computer lifestyles-- haven't keep up with the physical needs of our bodies. You may also want to talk to your Holistic medicine doctor, or look into seeing an Osteopath, D.O. They look at both the modern medicine and alternative medicine and homeopathy. (Then share what you've learned-- this is an area I know many would like to have access too.) another is if you can find a D.O. that knows and understands the mycobacterium processes of mushrooms (acupuncturists are good here) that could rebalance the immune system without getting the immune system enhanced or suppressed. We have a great guy that has spent almost 30 yrs in the Health Food Business (S & S Produce, Chico, CA, USA.) and he is so knowledgable. It is his passion, and I know I've turned to him many times-- and his staff. (Don Payne.) In the ARCHIVES-- especially in the first year or two-- I know that we had many discussions about boosting the immune system vs. immunosuppression. So you may want to look in that time frame. You can probably search by immunosuppression or holistic medicine. Hopefully, the subject line was changed to reflect the topic of the post.
