Re: Just got my analysis in the mail!
Hi Raider,
Yes, the practitioner did explain how everything is connected, including the way that infections can spread, and lord knows I've tried what are supposed to be the best supplements on the market, ones that even athletes and weightlifters love, for pain and joints and tendons, to not near the same degree of success they seem to work for other people.
Obviously if I have a long standing disorder or deficiency in the way my body deals with a component that can influence joint mobility and firmness, it only makes sense that it needs to be addressed, which not even the best pain reducing supplement will do.
Of course I will continue to take anything auxiliary which helps as I progress through these remedies, but I'm happy to go at the cause, now.
It's interesting, an MD I saw recently moved my limbs around and said "you're the loosest person I've met! Have you been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos or Marfan's?"
Both are heritable connective tissue disorders, and it would appear like I *could* have one of them, but there's also "benign" or "benign congenital hypermobility", which the joint remedy I tested for is geared towards. (Maybe it's benign in the sense that it won't kill you, but it doesn't make things easy!)
It's interesting, in HWS's Strategies section, I found the name of that remedy, and it first mentioned "Strong Tissue" for Ehlers-Danlos, which I was sure I would test for, but then it said that hypermobility syndrome appears very similar to the most common type of Ehlers-Danlos, and there's a specific remedy for it, too, which is the one I tested for.
It seems so bang-on to me.
So, while I of course appreciate the holism and continuity approach of the remedies in sequence, what first drew me to HWS upon reading the Master Remedy list, was the incredible specificity of the formulas, targeting such particular conditions, and variations thereof.
As for affording the remedies, yes, money is very tight, but like I said, staying unwell only makes things tighter. At the rate a mega bottle lasts, hopefully I can manage to do three remedies at a time, and refresh the order every two or three months if I don't take it too fast.
Another reason for my wanting to get right to the joint issue from the beginning is that, well, at a list of three stages, and 12 remedies, with multiple mega bottles each, unless I really ramped things up and did a lot at once, this is going to be a lengthy process;
although I know the bone and tooth, etc., ones will also help, I didn't want to wait for a year or two before getting to the joints; they need help soon!
Anyway, sorry for the long message. I'm glad I made what I meant a bit clearer, and am happy you're seeing positive change with your program!
Take care
