Re: Wow, fascinating stuff, and a question...

I was so excited about this stuff I went ahead and ordered some last night from Andreas' web site(I love it when vendors put PayPal as an option to buy, it's the only thing I like to use online, btw).

I think I'm going to really get back into this again. Many years ago I tried the non-traditional methods to regain my health and I got to the point where I was in a tolerable state, but I'm still not what I would call well and recently my health has just crapped out.

What I am dealing with:

1. Interstitial Cystitis. I've had this problem for 15 years. Basically the lining of my bladder doesn't work right and can be VERY painful. I found out about 4 years ago that if I keep the pH in my urine above a 6.4 or so, my bladder can heal. But it still has many "allergies" the most prominent of them to citric acid . There are many things I cannot eat, including vitamin pills, because they make my bladder flare even if I keep my urinary pH up.

2. Sphincter of Oddi disorder - the bile and pancreatic ducts don't flow properly because the sphincter is too tight. Had surgery 2 years ago but recently went through a big flare with this and landed in the hospital with pancreatitis (not fun). This brought me back to Curezone. This also gives me resultant liver and GB pain (which I still have). Am hemming and hawing about having my GB out.

3. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue - I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 8 years ago but I think they may have been wrong. I'm not really sure what was wrong, but I haven't had much of the "all body pain" in a long time. I used to get it all the time when I worked full time in an air conditioned office. I used to feel like I was going through a die off response every day. It pretty much went away when I started working in a smaller office and spent a lot of time in the field. The Chronic fatigue, however, is still quite with me.

Those are the big three. I'm pretty sure I have a candida problem as I was on tons of Antibiotics when I first got diagnosed with IC. Dr.s who don't know what they are doing think it's an infection, even when there is not a single bacterium in the urine. Luckily I found a Dr. in about 6 weeks with a clue. But the damage was done.

I would love to have more energy. That would make me so happy. Right now I sleep a lot and can barely get out of bed in the am. And by the end of the work week all I want to do is sleep. My health problems tend to make me depressed, but I never get Depression for no reason, so I've never considered anti-depressants.

I was also on Armour Thyroid for a while to see if it helped my energy levels. It worked for about a month. But I'm back at square one and I stopped taking it. Why take something if it doesn't work?

So, I will definitely let everyone know what kind of results I get. I started drinking ACV, two tablespoons in a 16 oz bottle sipping it all day yesterday, and I had much more energy than usual, was able to focus long enough to finish a project and I slept through the night for the first time since my GB started acting up in August! I don't know what that's about but I'm all for it!

Nan.
