Thanks

Thanks Jankes and Pioneer,
When you recognize the core causes of why your health hasn't been good, and can see how long it actually has been going on, it also helps you have the patience and perserverance, and self-discipline to carry on with getting cleaned up- especially when you can see the progress that has been made.

There are alot of people even here on CZ that "pooh-pooh" that parasites are a problem right here in the US, and that have the idea that if they are a problem, it's just in the "slums". With all the testing I had done by MD's, I know the core problem of why my liver was plugged up and in the shape it was in, would never have been found...but "we can put you on anti-depressants, and come back in 4 months if you don't feel better"..and "oh, it's just a fatty liver- go home and lose 20# and come back in 4 months". Parasites and liver stones (no gallbladder), and not a light load of them.

Thanks Doc, for being here. I may not be there quite yet, but my body is grateful for having the understanding of what it takes to get a load, and I mean a load (!) of junk out of it. My husband will be the first to tell you that I was in bad shape when I started all of this 9 months ago, and he's seen the progress made, and been supportive every step of the way without expecting that I "should" be healed and all better by now. The best thing the Alt Med Dr told me from the first visit was "to expect this could take a year or better to get cleaned up". For as many years as I can now recognize this has been building up, and recognizing the reasons for it having been weakened as it was, I'll give it whatever time it needs to get cleaned up, healed and rebuilt. It's ok to take care of me...and that comes from the daughter of one of those mother's Doc says had a "death wish", died at the age of 67 of a massive heart attack and would have been one of those that would have not understood the Alternative, natural way of healing. It doesn't matter to me now if other's that don't understand it, don't want to hear it, are literally dying themselves (believing that the Dr's are still going to save them)...call me a "fruitcake". :)

I'm very grateful for a supportive, understanding husband through all of this, and for you friends that know what it's like to be going through it yourselves. It's not an easy process, but worth it in the long run. I plan on being healthier at the 1/2 century mark than I was at the 1/4 century mark!
