Re: oceancalm/Mike

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your well thought out response! Indeed I've done much work on myself in the emotional and spiritual realm, and right now at this point in my life I would like to make some lasting adjustments on my physical health (although I've made some large strides already). My intuition tells me that I may have a slight adrenal insufficiency, and additionally slight blood circulation problems (although I know these two areas are getting better, having been much worse in the past). Perhaps you could possibly chime in? Some of my symptoms include cold hands and feet (year round), dry skin on my extremities (again mainly on my feet and hands, although mostly just in the winter), and very dry skin, cracked skin right under my heels. I've been working hard to improve my vision using natural means as well, and I've seen some slight improvement, but I feel like there is something or several things that's really holding me back (1 of which I suspect is likely a lingering mercury toxicity as I had many Amalgam fillings as a child and still have 1). I've also have had underweight issues (all my life), which I don't doubt a part of it is metabolism and genetics, but my case is rather extreme. At one point in my life I was consuming over 5,500+ calories a day just to gain weight, and even then it still came very slowly (maybe 3-4 pounds/month, and I still would hit a wall). I have since relieved my own emotional stigma towards my underweight issues, and I now happy the way I am despite dropped 20 pounds in the past year, but my fear is of possibly losing too much weight at the point of putting myself in danger, especially when I fast and cleanse (I tend to lose weight very rapidly during fasts). I also suspect that my body is not getting minerals from food efficiently (despite having a very clean diet, being raw vegan with a large portion of my diet consistenting primarily of fruits & vegetables)... and that this may be a cause for my tendency to overeat.

While I seem to have more sustainable and stable energy of late, I know I still have some ways to go and more work to do! I've done a lot of researching and I try to self-diagnose myself as best as I can, but I feel I could definitely benefit from AK, and that it could help get to the bottom of some of the remaining 'unsolved' mysteries!

I know this is a lot of information to digest, but perhaps this could give you a better idea of my situation. I know you go by a lot of instincts and feeling, and I really respect anyone with a strong developed intuition and very much value your opinion. I appreciate the time you put into helping others, and believe me, we are all definitely grateful to have you here!


Blessings,
