Please know that you are in my prayers, and I will send you energy healing as well (Reiki).....

Dear Friend, I wanted to give you a few words of encouragement and to let you know that there are caring people at Curezone. At one time I was over 100 pounds over weight, I still need to lose 30-40 more pounds. I did lose a little over 30 pounds doing the Master Cleanse. I did not do a long one all at once, but instead did 10 days every month, with Bowel Cleanses and Liver Flushes in between.
I also have many of the same health issues you have mentioned, plus chronic pain from a back injury. Twice I have taken medications for clinical depression, and have been at the brink of suicide more than once. I do understand the feelings of utter hopelessness and feeling like I cannot or do not fit in.
I would be glad to keep in touch with you through e-mail if you think that would help. Meanwhile you are in my prayers in a special way because I do identify very closely with you although I am a few years older (52).
Don't let people put you down or discourage you. Ignore the post above. Try to love yourself and believe you are worth all the effort it will take to regain your health. Know that God loves you, but in His wisdom, He may chose to have you take a difficult path to your healing. The self discipline you need in controlling your eating will aid you in every walk of life. So many times I have prayed for mastery over my emotional eating habits, pain from past hurts, and healing from the physical pain. So far it has not come in the way I desire; but I am slowly learning to trust God and His timing and methods.
Feel free to send me an e-mail if you want to talk or have any questions. I need to begin cleansing again in more earnest too. I know I can use the support.
May God bless and keep you in His love and strength.

Hi #23731! I am so excited for you! It seems like this might be the first step on a wonderful healing journey for you. I have no doubt that you will be able to get your health in good shape. There is so much to learn and most of it goes against what we have been taught. I think the Master-Cleanse sounds like a great idea. While you are doing that, I would also recommend that you look in to bowel and Liver Cleansing and also read up on food allergies . You will be in my prayers.
Best wishes.

p.s. I would suggest taking hopinso up on her offer. She is very smart about cleansing protocol and also very sweet.

Dear Depressed.
My heart goes to you.

I have been depressed most of my life. No apparent reason beyond everyday common things, difficult family and bad decisions.

I understand Depression very well. You do not have the strenght to overcome it now, but with God everythign is possible.

You have come to the right place beacuse only God can heal and guide you.

Trust in Him and HE will give you strength.


Additionally to prayers, you can these things.

Bowel cleanse while fasting.
Many people have reported Depression relief after bowel cleanse, including me.

I was very depressed, I am moderately depressed but much better after bowel cleanse. I passed a lot of mucoid plaque and no wonder I was so sick.

I also lost weight during my cleanse. I did Blessedherbs cleanse,it is a little expensive but it is good ( with Juice fasting)
Other people recommend Dr Shulze.
If you do master cleanse, maybe you can add the Psyllium/bentonite shakes.

After the bowel cleanse, I recommend the liver flushes, following Andrea's Moritz protocol.

Be sure you are not alone. God loves you and we are here to support you.

Love and blessings

Hello dear, I know what you are going through! I too have a hormonal imbalance and the weight gain that comes with it. FIrst I want to tell you what works for me.

First, I am dealing with my Depression and anxiety both medically and spiritually. It's okay to have the emotions you have and it's okay to ask God to guide you to healing. That's kind of hard to accept, but it's true none the less.

Next, I have come up with my own "diet" changes. Those of us with this problem need a lower carb diet, but not carb free. Find out those foods that cause you weight gain. For me it was candy for snacks, fast food for lunches, and soda. Boy has it been hard stopping the soda!! For my meals I take only one helping. I take more if I feel really hungry or less when I'm not, but I never take seconds! I make sure that I eat from each food group (except dairy, which I can't eat at all). I tend to eat more protien and veggies/fruit then grains.

Last, excercise is important. But (this is important) DON'T FOLLOW THE GENERAL GUIDELINES!!! When you get to the point where you are your body's needs are different. When I started excercising (in January) I started very, very slowly. Workingout and stretches took 8 minutes total. I did only one excercise for each part of my body. I do "reverse" crunches; you bring your legs towards your chest hold a second or two and lower. I did a modified lunge; step forward and lower to ground just a tiny bit and step back. I used a small soup can as a weight and did two or three arm excercises; one is to raise your arm from your side until level with your shoulder hold a sec or two and lower. Then I did a few stretches holding each for a count of 40. I also walk, I started at one block length and am now up to 8 blocks. (working up slowly)

Since I started this I have finally, after yrs of trying and trying, started to lose the weight. So far I'm down 23 pounds!! Take things slowly and do what you can handle is the key!

Now, remember that God loves you. He says that if you seek you shall find. Instead of asking in prayers, try the thank you prayer. It has 3 parts. 1) Thank God for His creations, the sun, cool breeze or the birds for example; 2)Admit to your sins, for me anger and not forgiving others top my lst; 3) Thank him for the things you need, so it's Thank You for my weight loss Thank You for my health Thank you for lifting my depression. This prayer is a bit odd at first, but it brings such peace to you that you will start looking forward to saying it!!

God bless you, and remember, God Loves you!!!

I wanted to thank all of you who replied in kindness and encouragement. In addition, thanks for your prayers and positive feedback. You have touched my heart. I'm doing much better today.

And to the one who responded not so kindly......
I have "prayed" for you. I realize that your coming to this board was a subconcious cry for help and had nothing personally to do with me.
Peace to you and may you be released from all your anger and pain.

I am excited about everyones advice and will take Hopinso up on her offer.
I did a Liver Flush last night and plan to continue with the cleanse and check into the other protocols as well.

Once again Thanks and Many Blessings,,,my prayers are with all of you too!!

Dear Depressed,

Yes, you need a miracle, but it
must come from inside you. Your
Inner Spirit desperately wants you
to make Major Changes in your
eating regimen and lifestyle, so
that your body can begin the
healing process. From your letter,
I think it's now or never.

You must decide whether you want to
live or not. It's that simple. If
you have reached your emotional
bottom, if you are thoroughly fed up
with the habits that have done such
great harm to your body, then you
can choose Change. I'm not talking
about cosmetic change -- stupid,
low-carb diets, for instance -- but
a Complete Turnaround; a Complete
Makeover.

Don't be frightened. God led you to
this very low point so that you
would make the changes that will
save your life. One year from today,
you can be a healthy, happy woman.
It's your choice.

Forget about diets. None of them
work. You need to change what you
eat. You need to stop eating meat,
most dairy, all processed foods,
soda pop, fast food, and anything
else which you know in your heart
is junk. You need to stop eating
those foods forever. If that sounds
like a Curse to you, trust me that
it will seem like a Blessing by
Thanksgiving. There's a world of
good, clean, living food out there
for you to eat. You won't get bored.

I eat 70 percent living foods. I do
eat sardines and salmon from cans,
but no meat, and nothing else from
cans or boxes. I drink distlled water and fresh juices. My one
dairy product is a Stoneyfield
Organic yogurt at mid-day. And for
the last 28 years, my weight hasn't
varied an ounce. I weigh 140 lbs,
which is perfect for me.

You can do that, too. You need to
become a mostly-vegetarian, who
eats fish on occasion. Don't think
of that as a death sentence. It's
a Life Sentence.

You also need to do a series of
colon, liver, and kidney cleanses
to clean the accumulated toxic gunk
our of your digestive and elimination systems. It takes time,
but you can do it. Lots of other
people have done so.

Your body wants to heal itself. And
if you give it permission to do do,
by changing your bad habits, your
body WILL heal! Don't doubt that for
a moment!

Buy a copy of THE KEY TO HEALTH AND
REJUVENATION by Andreas Moritz , who
has a forum here on CureZone. His
book will give you a blueprint to
follow for the rest of your life.

I hope you choose Life. If you do,
you'll soon find yourself on the
Healing Path, and Doors will open
for you. Trust your deep intuition.
It will never lie to you. Be confident, be upbeat, be disciplined, and be brave. This can
be the beginning of a magnificent
healing story, an inspiring
turnaround, if you consciously
CHOOSE to make it happen.

You will remain in my prayers, my
friend.

Blessings,

Owen
