Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 I find a need to finally write now that some of my excitement has settled. I didn't want to expend energy in yet another " I've found it! This is the answer for me! " announcement, especially if it were to " fail " - again (shame connected somehow). I have spent SO much energy and time looking for my " magic pill, " I have certainly at least questioned what the point in the search is. I've looked at an infinite number and variety of food and diet plans. My goals have varied in giving me motivation to search, from fitness, healthy weight maintenance, freedom from obsession and addiction to the most recent - pain reduction. As many of you know, I have been suffering with chronic pain for some time. I've been diagnosed with two herniated disks, fibromyalgia and most recently degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis). There have been times I've had to walk with a cane and take prescription pain meds (when I could get out of bed) to even minimally participate in my life. I've gained about 60 pounds due to inactivity. The resulting frustration and depression has been it's own challenge, not to mention the stressing effects on my marriage and other relationships with family and friends. Interestingly, Spirit always allows for direction despite free will! In my work as a bodyworker I have been continually and steadily drawn to the intuitive. I'm receiving more and more information that cannot be explained. Since I am also gifted with a relatively low sense of doubt regarding such things, I decided to simply take it further and pursue consultation with a medical intuitive (which has led to my own enrollment in a medical intuition certification training program!). I'm sure any medical intuitive will do, by the way. lol. I consulted someone simply with the idea that I could be saved _years_ of searching (assuming, of course, that I ever _would_ arrive at some answers for myself)! I can report, after the initial reading of almost two weeks ago (things are happening _incredibly_ fast in this arena for me!), that I have less pain than I thought imaginable in such a short time (and on my worst days - ever thought imaginable). This woman has put me on foods I would never have chosen for myself. At the end of the first day, I could breathe freely through my nose, even when I lay down to sleep (it had probably been about a year-and-a-half since I felt such openness). By the second full day, my all-over FMS pain had decreased. By the fourth day, I remembered what it was once like to feel " normal " in response to pressure on my body. I am more alert, awake and have more energy than I have in two years. I'm walking again... regularly... without a cane. I've worked for as much as two hours in our garden - _digging and planting_. I can lift, bend, climb stairs, lean over the sink to brush my teeth. Perhaps this all sounds silly but those of you who know... understand how remarkable this is. The food plan itself is insignificant. What a medical intuitive will suggest is specifically detailed for the individual concerned. Once again, perhaps unfortunately (?), supporting the fact that no one diet plan or idea will work for everyone (hence the on-going popularity of whatever is the latest craze). I can say the plan is simple, simple, simple. NO processed anything, no sauces, no spices, no dairy, broiled or steamed foods only, distilled drinking water. One thing that has happened is that I'm becoming quite bored with obsessing about food. My taste buds are reawakening, but in fulfilling the simple needs my body has been without for so long. Some of the foods I'm eating I absolutely crave. But it can be bland, uninteresting and disappointing... only in the sense that I've looked to food my whole life for comfort, solace, mood change, distraction, a high. It is actually becoming the fuel it was intended to be for me. This is perhaps the core miracle. The food I eat today is my medicine to support the healing my body so desperately needs. Somehow, I am having NO trouble sticking to it. Pain reduction is perhaps the best motivation. I want my life back. One side effect has been s-l-o-w weight loss. I am grateful beyond words, words being so woefully inadequate to describe this process. So many subtle (and not so subtle - lol) changes I haven't even started to mention (like, NO acid indigestion, no headaches and my skin isn't as dry!). I am in process... and in weekly communication with this medical intuitive. More changes to come, I'm confident. I believe her completely. So... don't lose hope wherever you are in your journey. And, if you suffer from chronic pain due to some form of systemic illness, PLEASE consider that you probably have food allergies. That is THE reason behind this transformation I am only beginning. peace, trustinit __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
