Greetings Scott760!

Unyquity here (long term poster and natural health afficianado that barely has time for CZ anymore). You can click my name to see my past posts if you'd like. I check into CZ occasionally, and click on whatever forum happens to be near the top, check the latest from the News forum, and generally that's about all I have time for doing. UNLESS, I see something that 'tells me' to "post now!"...so that's what I'm doing. And I've sent you a Private Message that should now be in your 'inbox' (top of the page).

When scanning your posts/replies, I see that you're taking 'generic valium', and that's a HUGE red flag, because depending upon the length of time you've been taking it (or any other benzodiazepine such as Xanax, Klonopin, etc), there is a very real possibility that it could be at the root of virtually all your issues (even your surgeries!). Maybe you weren't taking a benzo when you started having surgeries (so it couldn't be 'the cause'), but even if that's the case, you desperately need to educate yourself on the side-effects and 'tolerance withdrawal' symptoms of this class of drugs! At the bottom of this post (mine) you will find a list of various internet/educational sites & forums regarding benzodiazepines. And since this drug CAN be at the root of virtually every physical/mental symptom that has ever presented in anybody, it truly is important that you gain a strong baseline knowledge. //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=805621


It's very important to understand the term 'tolerance withdrawal' (also referred to as 'interdose withdrawal'). Basically 'tolerance withdrawal' is exhibiting withdrawal symptoms while still taking the drug (the body has become addicted and needs more...hence one can be having full-fledged withdrawal symptoms while still taking the drug). The addiction can happen in as little as two-week!. Doctors (as a rule) do NOT recognize this...and in the case of Valium, it can even be almost impossible for the user to determine. The half-life of Valium (diazepam/generic) and it's metabolites is estimated at 30-200 hours (depending upon the person). This exceedingly long half-life interferes with one's ability to notice they're in withdrawal...as simply missing a dose for a day or two, may or may not bring on symptoms of withdrawal...but in an additional day or two, the symptoms of missing a dose 3-5 days ago "hit", and there's seemingly no logical explanation but something else being desperately wrong. And 'electrical jolts' and buzzing type sensations are EXTREMELY common. The drug Lunesta (although not technically a benzodiazepine) has VERY similar effects.

Why can these drugs cause symptoms in EVERY major organ and system of the body? Here's a snippet of a post I created for someone using Xanax occasionally:
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1134373#i


>>>And I know this may be harsh to hear, but it's a truth that needs to be said: don't think for one second that "occasional use" isn't EXTREMELY harmful or addictive. This insidious class of drugs works by chemically overstimulating your body's natural calming cells and systems...think of it as a "high powered 'electro-chemical' shock". Each and everytime you brutally shock and overwork your gaba cells & calming mechanisms into a 'state of calm' (that feels like it's really not so bad), you systematically "dull" and diminish your body's cells and natural calming mechanisms from being able to naturally calm itself. EVERYtime you take a Xanax, you are chemically forcing your bodies calming mechanism into a state that's TOTALLY unachievable naturally...the more you do that, the more you destroy your body's ability to calm itself. Every time you take a Xanax, your body becomes LESS able to calm itself - until finally, it's natural state has been SO overstimulated and worn down by the chemical stimulation, that the ONLY thing that will cause a state of calmness is more Xanax. And then it's "up for grabs" as to how prolonged and hellish the withdrawal will be. This class of drugs do NOT create a 'chemical calmess' - they overstimulate your own bodies calming mechanisms to create the calmness - leaving every gaba cell & calming system throughout your body weaker and less effective with every tiny lil' pill you take. It's almost as though these drugs were intentionally designed to cause you need them forever (that wouldn't be so strange for a pharmaceutical drug, eh?).<<<<

So, in a nutshell, a benzodiazepine 'wears out' the body's natural ability to 'calm' every system...and when in withdrawal or 'tolerance withdrawal', virtually any system or symptom can appear. Some experience 'skin crawling', others muscular spasms, others incredible digestive disturbance, ultra sensitivity to light/sound/stimulus of any kind; tooth pain, electrical jolts, gallbladder attacks, tinnitus, vertigo...name the symptom, it CAN be induced by benzos.

Here is a petition (signed by thousands) attempting to get the docs & Big Pharma to disclose the incredibly high risk of addiction and life-destroying withdrawal syndromes to patients. The short signatures/stories of thousands basically say it all.

I have read hundreds of stories of people having unnecessary surgeries (spinal, too) because no one recognized the person being in benzo 'tolerance withdrawal' was the cause.

(To those giving advice on CZ: whenever you see ANYONE mention a benzodiazepine along with other symptoms, PLEASE let them know about this post)

Here are some other basic answers:

I just finished and uploaded this Word file with some basics on "juicers" - I'm sure you'll find it helpful:
//www.curezone.org/upload/Members/Unyquity/JuicerInformation.doc


You said: >>> couldn't one argue that because I so much meds, always constipated (I wish I was constipated like I was back then...I didn't suffer the pain in gut and not being able to void for days on end) that the true nature of my bowel dysfuction hidden? <<< ABSOLUTELY!!!! In fact, ALL pharmaceutical drugs chemically alter & control the function of an organ or system within your body...and the TRUE nature of ALL your dysfunctions & symptoms are not necessarily anything more than you body reacting to the combination of synthetic/chemical signals & poisons you are ingesting. Name a drug that truly CURES a disease? (some would argue that Antibiotic actually 'cure', but technically they don't). Pharmaceutical drugs are DESIGNED to "band aid the symptom", NOT cure. Problem is, using that band-aid to cover up a symptom, is covering up the ONLY way our body has to cry out for help...and the results are always the same as putting a piece of duct tape over an oil light. Oh sure, you can't sense the oil light any more...but WHAT happens to the engine?

You said: >>> A bit to late for the spine.<<< Good news! NO, actually it's NOT too late. Dr. Christopher and Schulze cured many people of spinal issues (both before and after surgeries). The bodies schematics are complete - it knows how to heal and restore itself completely...all we have to do is STOP ingesting/doing things that prevent healing and start ingesting/doing the things your body needs! And of course, learn what our bodies need and UNlearn all of the 'truths' (that are NOT) that we've been conditioned to believe. The rest is just 'doing it' :)

You said: >>>I don't want to have an operation to remove gallbladder when I don't believe the proof is there to back up claim of gastro.<<< Good news, again! You don't HAVE to have one of your vital organs carved out - you really CAN heal it. Your body is not your enemy - when an organ becomes symptomatic, the solution isn't to cut it out - the solution is to utilize time-honored healing protocols to fix what is wrong. And generally, with the gallbladder, that's a simple as a series of Liver Flushes (and/or coffee enemas, and/or herbs & foods that 'feed' and encourage the liver & gallbladder to cleanse and heal).

There's a very specific order to cleansing and restoring the body to health, and to achieve the type of complete (many time miraculous!) healings that one reads of from Dr. Schulze & Dr. Christopher, lifestyle/diet changes must generally be made on most consider quite a grand scale. In reality, ingesting only truly natural foods for vibrant health & healing is THE most simplistic, obvious thing in the world...but as a society, we've gone SO far away from that (for SO long), that it seems extremely extreme (sometimes bordering on freakish) :::sad smirk:::

In closing, one thing is for SURE - if you're willing to learn (and UNlearn) and do 'what it takes', you CAN be healthy, and you DEFINITELY can be in charge of your OWN life & health. A word of warning: it's NOT going to happen via naturopaths and the new wave of "politically correct" ALTERNATIVE medicine (you'll find hundreds of posts on CZ where people have spent tens of thousands of dollars on visits and non-natural supplements, only to worsen and feel more desperate). The body KNOWS how to heal, and can always do so when given the corrects foods and herbs (if one's 'time has not come')...but if the body's healing energy is being utilized having to deal with & process UNnatural supplements (and of course, pharmceuticals & unnatural foods & poisons), the healing energy is being squandered & 'used up' just processing & detoxing from all the unnatural things we're ingesting.

Really and truly, you CAN restore you body to health - there are NO incurable diseases or syndromes, only incurable people! lol

Healthiest of blessings -

Unyquity

P.S. If you want to start "digging in" to research and learn more, start with the Dr. Schulze link at the top of every CZ page (and be sure to read my Private Message)

P.P.S. By the way, the BEST site on the 'net for researching benzos is benzo.org.uk ...BUT they do NOT believe in natural healing methodology or support, so keep that in mind as you read.
