Hey there!
Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time!
Plenty of us here who can relate! I have a long (rather biblical) saga involving my colon, which come to find out was PACKED (not full, but packed) with... oh, old socks, orange peels, coffee grounds, I dunno... LOL!
Garbage. I thought I was fine! I Went every day, same time... but I got lucky and my partner almost had to have his prostate out.
Sounds weird, but weird things happen! I took him to our friendly local Naturopath, who is also an RN, an iridologist (she can read the condition of your internal organs by looking at the iris of your eye through a special gadget), a nutritionist AND a
colonic therapist! (Neat little bag of tricks)
Anyhow, good news. She looked at him and said, it's not your prostate that worries me, it's your arteries! They are blocked, and you are not getting good blood to your prostate, which is causing your symptoms.
He did a natural program for a year to unblock his arteries (he fondly called it Drano) and VOILA! Unbelievable changes. A miracle.
Me, while I was in the neighborhood I thought heck, she can look in my eyes and tell me what she sees. I was having what I thought might be pre-menopausal symptoms (I was 46)--headaches, bad periods, joint pain, stubborn excess weight (my stomach looked like I was very pregnant) stubborn constant ACNE, rosacea etc.
WELL. She looked, and told me I was full of s&"#%! AND I PAID HER!!!
She was right. That stomach was NOT fat. That was old garbage I had packed into my colon over the years, STAPLED (velcroed?) to the walls of my poor colon, so there was no way for it to get out... causing me HECK!
It started with my skin getting bad around my period. But then it got where it NEVER cleared up, and really caused heck around my period!!! There were moments I would not go to a Ladies Function or whatever because the skin looked so awful.
WELL. I got into cleaning out the old trash. I REEEEEEEELY recommend you go to a site called The Doctor Within. Click on his articles and read Journey to the Center of Your Colon!!! I read about it here at curezone, and it truly changed my life. I cried for my poor colon! That article is ME! I had an archaeological dig inside! And all of us who have eaten the Standard American Diet... must face the facts or pay the price.
ANYHOW, my two mainstays have been
colonics (very very worth looking into. There is a wonderful forum here at curezone, or ask me questions), and the Master Cleanse.
And I have learned to give myself an enema, a wonderful tool for anyone wanting to cleanse, detox and heal. And NOT that big a deal! Go to the enema/colonic forum and read my post called Enemas & Miracles. Whew!
My Naturopath had cancer. Her VERY progressive oncologist put her on
The Master Cleanse after her therapy to clean out all the toxic waste they put in you to kill cancer! She did it for a month and NEVER felt better! I did 28 days last year, with wonderful, life changing results.
This summer I dedicated 3 full months to this cleanse: In April I ate 30 days of fruits and vegetables. Breakfast: bowl of fruit with natural yogurt (with a good culture). Lunch, big salad. Dinner, homemade vegetarian vegetable soup. No coffee, no bread etc. A wonderful, gentle pre-cleanse diet.
THEN I did 48 days of the Master Cleanse. This is a juice fast in which you drink only one thing: a lemonade made of fresh lemon or lime juice, grade b maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper. That's it! And tons of water. I did this for 48 days. I kept a journal on the
Master-Cleanse forum, here at curezone--what a saga!
THEN I did another 10 days on juices! Fresh fruit juice in the morning, fresh vegetable in the PM.
On days 38, 48 and 59 I had a series of colonics. WONDERFUL results! Incredible results!!! Among which, my skin has completely changed.
Anyhow, that kind of introduces me. I am on the long road to helping my body heal from the garbage I have packed in over these many years, and going into my 50s WELL and STRONG--and with a clear face to boot!
At the end of my fast, I started a cleansing/rebuilding diet, which I LOVE! And just did my first liver flush. You can check out how it went on the
Liver Flush Forum , Somer's First Flush. A wonderful experience. I recommend any pre-cleansing you can do before the flush, likea fruit/veg diet like I did.
I BELIEVE your troubles are caused by... garbage. Toxic wastes searching desperately for a way OUT of your body. The skin is the LARGEST organ in the body! Very important off-ramp for toxins.
ANY cleansing, any educating you can do for yourself will help you. TAKE CONTROL over your health! Pay attention to the Doctor Within article, and what it says about
Antibiotics . You are in a downward spiral with the treatment you are on, and... this is the education of the MD. They do what they know, and we rely on them.
Fortunately, there are alternatives!
If we can help and support you in your healing journey, you have come to the right place. So many wonderful folks here who have stories as bad or worse than yours. You are not alone!
Best to you,
Somer
