My SP adventure

[Guest guest]

Some of you have been wondering what I've been up to-- and I'm ready to share. This is the information of the Protocol that I began in April of this year.

I have lived with severe chronic pain since a work-comp injury in 1982. Since 1990-- I've lived with the additional insult of pulmonary and neurosarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a benign granulomous disease-- that is thought toresolve on it's own for more than 80% of those that end up with it. Well, I was in the 5% of the 20% that have it become serious, chronic, life threatening condition. My chances of winning the lottery are better than this. (Guess I need to start playing..)

Sarcoidosis is where your body develops tiny microscopic tumors that generally start in the lungs- and for me in my eyes. It had progressed to being fully systemic-- in my blood stream as vasculitis, in my brain presenting as early onset dementia, loss of multi-tasking skills, problem solving interruptions, short-term memory loss, and peripheral and small nerve fiber neuropathy. It is in my muscles, ligaments, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and in fact-- there wasnt' anywhere it hadn't created issues. Huge issues.

Having my docs tell me in March that since "I wasn't a candidate for heart/lung transplant-- and was having heart attacks nightly"- the left arm pain, pain between the shoulder blades, jaw pain, heart arrthymias, nausea and vomiting-- that I'd better get my "affairs" in order.Well, dammit-- I'm not ready to be ready...So, my chiropractor-- Deborah Penner, D.C.-- Chico Creek Wellness-- asked me if I wanted to do a liver detox. II u had nothing to lose. So-- I started on Standard Process Whole Food Supplements- Liver Detox protocol.I dropped 18# in the first 3 weeks, and my heart pain went away. My blood sugars leveled out-- and I had some energy for the first time in years.In May, she took me to Alameda-- to the Standard Process Center-- where she is taking classes for certification as a SP Clinician. This trip was a total life changer!!I underwent "muscle testing"- a

simple non-invasive procedure where I had one arm extended, with another persons hand resting on that arm. The instructor put a vile-- sealed glass vile-- of wheat in my other hand-- and my arm dropped like a rock. We repeated this with multiple foods-- and my food triggers ended up being wheat, dairy, and oats. I've eliminated these from my diet-- and for the first time in 30 plus years (yep, I did say 30 years) my chronic pain that had been on a 1-10 scale --constant at 8-12 daily-- is now a 1 or 2-- daily. I've lost 29 pounds in the last 15 weeks-- my blood sugars are NORMAL. My lab work on March 15 showed my A1C-- (blood glucose) to be 7.4. On June 15-- 8 weeks after starting the Standard Process Protocol -- my A1C dropped to 6.4. I AM NO LONGER DIABETIC! I've been able to quit my insulin and glucophage.My cholestrol dropped 100 pts in that same 8 wks- (yes, I know

it was a 12 wk time frame-- but I was only on SP for 8 wks) and my triglycerides dropped 112 pts. I've been able to eliminate all the Remicade, the Methotrexate, the Plaquenil, Effexor, Motrin, Oromorph, Flexeril.In fact, I am now ONLY taking thyroid and blood pressure medication. I'm still on oxygen 24/7-- and I suspect that may be part of my life -- but since my muscles don't have the rigidity that they had, my abdomen is soft -- and I can't remember when it was last- my heart is not working near as hard-- and the small nerve fiber neuropathy that made my skin hurt with just air hitting it-- is diminishing more and more each day! I've changed my diet to raw or steamed whole foods-- veges and fruit-- with some lean protein from chicken and fish-- and now get to add back in red meat -- in small quantity-- plus the various supplements that have been put together for my specific needs- (this is a program that is custom

fit to YOU) and I'm feeling better, stronger, have more energy than I've had in years-- and I"m excited about life! I know I have a long ways to go-- but my docs are floored! I'm not yellow- I'm not that icky gray of sickness-- I have color in face and body-- funky rashes that plague those of us with sarc are clearing up- and life is good!AMA-- FDA-- be damned-- our world of modern medicine is not to cure-- that would put way too many people out of work-- The cure for cancer is in healthy nutrition-- the cure for sarcoidosis I do believe is in healthy whole nutrition-- it's not easy to give up the comfort food we all love-- pasta, cakes, cookies, ice cream... it's all history in my life-- but I'm here to celebrate each day-- and in April-- we weren't expecting me to be alive -- so AMA-- take your drugs and shove em-- I choose life!

If you have not watched the movie A BEAUTIFUL TRUTH-- RENT IT! Read up on ESSIAC TEA-- it is an Ojibawe indian herbal tea mixture that is proven to cure cancer in over 80% of those who stick to the protocol. The GERSON THERAPY DIET is a whole food diet- and has incredible results in not only cancers-- but various autoimmune diseases. Sarcoidosis is just one.

Dr. Penner-- how can I ever say THANK YOU! YOUR LOVE, YOUR GENUINE HEALING HEART HAS GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK-- I AM HONORED TO BE IN YOUR HANDS-- MY LOVE TO YOU! Tracie
