Re: Advanced Parkinsons?

This is great. I've read this story before, but the end part stood out this time. The more I experience Christopher and Schulze, the more their teachings make sense. The ol' "Ohhhh! So THAT'S what they meant by _____!"

It is true that you might have to become a "lifer" get healed from your disease. You might as well face, as I have, that you won't be able to go back to your old lifestyle any more. It's your old lifestyle that got you sick in the first place.

You can have cake and ice cream at a birthday party on occasion, but you sure can't take the leftover half of a cake home and eat it. You seriously have to put your old life behind you and not look back. It's weird being out of your comfort zone. People freak out and want you to go back to the "real" you. They think you've gone crazy. You lose friends. But your old lifestyle was killing you. Quite literally.

You have to change EVERYTHING. And a lot of times this is hard. You might think, "Come on, how hard is it to refuse a piece of cake?" It's not the cake, it's the friend who is handing you the plate. The friend you've been eating cake with for 20 years. It's hard to tell your friend you don't eat cake any more, and then reach for a glass of carrot juice. It's hard to realize you don't have any friends who drink carrot juice. It's hard to realize your friends don't take you seriously, and think you'll be back for cake when you've gotten off this crazy witch thing you're doing.

It's really hard, because you don't know who you are anymore. You've always identified yourself with cake eaters (or Dr. Pepper drinkers, or Baptists, or whatever). But now you're an environmentalist wacko veggie planet hugger thing. I even had somebody tell me I didn't belong in Texas any more- that I should move to California and be with the other... liberals (oh, that was a cuss word!).

But you read articles like this, and you think, "Man, if it worked for Parkinson's Guy, maybe it will work for me." And you do it. It does work. Maybe it works quickly, and maybe you find out you've got a tough and very lonely row to hoe.

What do the other guys have to offer? Burn it out? Cut it off? Poison you? Torture you? I mean, it's up to you, of course. But if you choose the natural route, you won't be eating cake any more, and you have to realize that.

When you're doing it (the IP or foundational program or whatever), you need to reach out and ask for help or support. We DO drink carrot juice, we ARE drinking the God-awful teas, we ARE doing unmentionable things in the bathroom. People think we're crazy, and maybe we are. We're crazy enough to think our bodies were created in the very image of God Himself and just maybe God created them perfectly. Just maybe God, in His perfect Wisdom, embedded within our bodies the ability to heal themselves, and just maybe it's the crap the powers that be substitute for food- and we are enticed to eat at our church potlucks and Micky D's- that is making us sick. But, oh, wait, our doctors will help you...

I didn't mean to ramble. This is a great post and a great little thread. Thanks for sharing.
