I posted a thread earlier talking about my body's difficulty to overcome viral infection. This started happening five years ago. Now whenever I get the flu or any other kind of virus, I can feel ill for literally months.

I started getting ill again 1.5 months ago. I was stressing my body a little bit too much, and eating too much junk and not resting enough. I got ill, and my alternative MD told me it was a viral infection that begins with a c. (cactii or something?) I cannot remember the exact name, but he said it is almost a type of pleomorphic organism.

I tried so many things to get this out! Everything he gave me, the homeopathics, immune boosters, and vitamin C just weren't working.
I tried several different therapies such as the light-beam generator to flush the lymph, chiropractic, and colonic. I still had trouble knicking this thing.

One thing I noticed was that my allergies were progressively getting worse. I started reacting to things more strongly, my lymph was getting much more achy and congetsted, and I was feeling progressively more like I was having an ongoing allergic reaction.

The thing that helped me lick this was very simple. I took very high amounts of grape seed extract. I consumed 500mg or more of this a day.

Almost immediately after I took my first dose my lymph cleared and I felt less foggy and had more energy. 2 days later I feel almost completely back to health.

What conclusions can I draw from this?

Clearly this episode had a lesson for me to learn about my health. Only my persistence saved me. I tried 10 different things before I found an answer.

My hypothesis why the grade seed extract worked is this: I developed a viral infection (as confirmed by the electrodermal test). Over time, this infection increasingly weakened my immune system. Since my body is already very prone to toxic overload and allergies, I believe my body became allergic to the virus itself. My body could no longer cope with the toxic load, and therefore I was in perpetual limbo in trying to heal the virus.

For some reason the grape seed extract helped neutralize the toxins and calm down my allergies enough for my body to make a complete recovery.

This is just my hypothesis, but it seems to stand to reason.

What I need to work on in the future is diminishing these allergies for good. I have tried TONS of things over the last 5 years and I have spend TENS of thousands of dollars trying different therapies such as chiropractic, acupuncture, colonics, supplements, naturopaths, lymph massage, raw foods, homeopathy, herbs, alternative MDs, conventional medical testing, nutrition, yeast cleanses, parasite cleanses, and even different kinds of fasting. I have been guided by many health professionals.

Through all this, I have greatly improved the functioning of all my organs. I look good for my age (26), and I started to feel more fit than I have in my whole life (even than before I was a small child-- I have been plagued with health problems my whole life-- including being born premature and jaundice).

I have watched my edema go away. I no longer have heat flashes in my face. My sex drive has returned fully, my skin is very vibrant, my posture is greatly improved, and my mental functioning is much more crystal clear. I no longer have cold hands and feet. I never get sinus or ear infections. I've watched my achy joints disappear, my fatigue greatly abate to the point that I working full-time now, and most importantly my mental attitude is permanently alerted. I am much more cheery and optimistic, and much more confident. I no longer am that fearful or nervous. Women are now greatly attracted to me, when they never were before.

However, I still have too many ups and downs and not enough stability. I am still far too sensitive to what I eat. I get ill far too often, I am too sensitive to sugars (even low fruit sugars), and my skin still breaks out in small little white patches on my arms.

What I have not done yet is the stone cleansing. I did my first Liver Flush 2 weeks ago and expelled over 100 green stinky stones. Many were pea-sized. I didn't feel that much better afterwords, and my liver actually feels more irritated now. However, Andreas told me the importance of cleansing the colon immediately afterwards. (which I didn't do the first time)

Intuitively, I know that my liver is the focus of most of my health problems. From the moment of my birth I have been challenged in this regard. Interestingly, I started developing debillitating symptoms when I was 16. I was on a cross country team and I had to stop running because I was too fatigued. Right when this began happening, my skin had turned orange! After not getting immediate add from a doctor, we learned from an alternative healer that I had developed an allergy to wheat.

I really believe the Liver Flushing will be one of the final pieces of the puzzle for me. the grape seed extract is a temporary solution, I know this. However, it has helped me to see that my body is still toxic despite how hard I have worked (even doing Liver Cleansing with herbs!)

If you have an input, I would love to hear!

I have struggled with this blacksmith's puzzle for so long. I feel that I have almost unnraveled it. I think it is my destiny, even-- because I am going to start chiropractic school next year. (after delaying it for 4 years due to my illness, I am finally get strong enough)

I apologize about the length of this post-- These are things I don't get to tell anyone-- not even my deepest friends, not even my own mother. I've kept them all bottled up inside myself because I don't want to seem a hypochondriac and I don't like to admit my weaknesses. I hate to be seen as weak. It churns at me. I have gone to work on days when I have been close to passing out. Therefore, I have great difficulty talking about these problems and I have even more difficulty finding people who actually even understand what the hell I am talking about without thinking I am imagining all this stuff.

Thanks
