No message. [But plenty words of encouragement. :)]

Congratulation on your healing journey. I was wondering if you saw any skin changes during your fasting, like healing of scars, moles and such or if you feel you look younger etc. thanks for your post too.

I have no idea if this would help you or not, but I have heard that arthritic conditions are usually due to infection - parasitic, bacterial, etc., though starting so early in life and at your level of severity, that could be totally different. I am sorry that you've had such a hard road. I wanted to share something I'm doing recently - I haven't been on this forum for a few months, and I started a unique homeopathic program a few weeks ago that has been nothing short of astounding. I've had severe headaches all my life that were very inflammatory in nature, and lately had started feeling all over body pain and pain in the joints, and I'm only 38. The woman who is treating me is quite psychic and very gifted, I'm really lucky to have found her. She mentioned that had we not caught all this now, it's the kind of thing that would lead to fibromyalgia and arthritis in the coming years, and I believe her, I know that's where I was headed. I've done a ton of parasite cleansing, bowel cleansing and liver flushing, have had excellent chiropractic, craniosacral work, acupuncture, you name it, but I knew I still had major "bugs on board" that were not getting touched by any of those methods. (I have to say, though, that I did not try fasting, but my intuition told me I couldn't handle it right now.) I'll cycle through a total of 8 very strong homeopathics in 2 months, and she found some deficiencies in copper, zinc and calcium, so I am using some high quality supplements for that, but I really think what is doing the trick for me is the vibrational homeopathics and probably the "broad bean" rainforest herbal tincture, which I believe targets the amoebic infection she found very widespread in my body. What's very interesting is I had a short appointment with a weird character and "medical intuitive" about 4 years ago who had a product to sell and at the time I wasn't sure I trusted him, but he looked me up and down and said, "you've done a lot of work on this body," (true) and "you don't have large parasites, it's amoeba."

I've been like the walking dead probably the last 15 years, in spite of all the alternatives I've done, I have still had to plan my life around my periods, have felt very delicate, yellow, pasty skin tone, low energy, and always the headache that would never totally leave and often would be totally debilitating. I have many times felt like I was dying a little every day and it was a major effort just to get through the day and try to keep my house of cards from collapsing. I've had one or two weird little healing crises on this program, but I could tell the very first day that something profound was happening, and I have not felt this good probably my entire life, since I was pretty delicate as a child, too. My head feels open and clear for the first time in recent memory, and by recent I mean like 20 years. My gut feeling is that it was the amoebic infection causing the chronic inflammation, but she is also working on miasms (genetic weaknesses we are born with), viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma (which she says is something brought back by gulf war veterans), and some something in the plague family. My period is starting in the next day or two, and I have not had anywhere near the usual PMS symptoms, and she says the endometriosis will get better because the amoebic infection is the root cause and draws blood around the uterus & ovaries, and that's what's diagnosed as endo. I've know for years that it was somehow related to infection and I refused laporoscopy because of it. I can already tell it's less swollen this month. Unbelievable. I should have a hideous, sick, premenstrual headache right now, and I feel fine. It's only been less than 3 weeks on the program, so it is very early on and I'm afraid to get my hopes up too much, but I just could't keep quiet about this. I know it's not MH's thing, but I am absolutely blown away by the results I'm getting so far. BTW, she says lettuce is notoriously covered with amoebic parasites, and she doesn't eat it anymore. I'm avoiding it at least while I'm on this program, though giving up salads was really hard. Also nightshades, and when I asked her why, she said it's because there is a chemical compound in nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, etc.) that feeds or encourages growth of the amoeba, and what I think is REALLY interesting is that people with arthritic symptoms often get relief by eliminating nightshades from their diet. Could that be because their arthritis is caused by that infection?

This will be an interesting journey, since at the moment she is planning to get out of the business by the end of the year, I won't go into all the reasons, but I think she is quite unique, and if that's the case, I will have to keep my immunity up and maintain that good health on my own. I think it will be easier once this program helps that heavy load of infection that's been hampering my progress all these years. I am fortunate to live in an amazing mecca of very gifted health practioners, and I don't know if you would get the same results with anyone else, but if she does indeed retire from the business and no one around here takes up the torch, I may begin studying her methods myself, just because I'm so astounded at what I'm experiencing, and I've heard she's helped many people.

I just wanted to mention the homeopathics and the possibilty of deep, old infections like amoeba, viruses, etc., in case that might help and you would want to look into something like that. I think they can hang out in joints and damaged tissue, in areas of low vibration, and the vibrational homeopathics kind of work on that principle, that each organism has it's own "song," and the remedies create unfavorable vibration for what you are trying to evict. She says my stuff is really old, like I've carried it since childhood or birth, and what's interesting is that my mother, grandmother, and her mother all had chronic headaches, and I'm wondering now if it's really from a parasite passed at birth through each generation, and whether that causes eventual genetic weakneesses or something. My boyfriend is doing her program, too, and feels the same way. He was much less symptomatic than me and had a lot less going on, but his own set of miasms and bugs on board, and he is feeling better, as well.

I wish you the best on your journey, and I am glad that you're beginning to heal.
