Hi there- I am 50 years young and have been doing NB for just over 14 months.
I had a life of major stress. Childhood trauma, failed first marriage, single parent for many years with no support, alcoholism and drug addiction and 14 years as a psychiatric patient on many meds.
I quit drinking and recreational drug use 12 years ago. When I discovered that I really wasn't improving I began researching the dangers of psychiatric medications.
Five years ago I quit all meds and otc drugs and stopped seeing a psychiatrist. The withdrawal was very difficult and lasted several months. Protracted withdrawals would come and go for over 1 year. Shortly after I visited an alternative MD who had me tested for food allergies . I went on the specific carb diet and a vitamin and mineral program. Anxiety, Depression and mania were eliminated by about 80%. However I couldn't get rid of the chronic fatigue.
After I was off all meds at the 1 year mark I was advised to have all of my Amalgam fillings removed. I went to a biological dentist who used the added precautions of a dam and suction. Immediately after I had two DMPS treatments that caused a severe crash for several months on end. I refused any other treatments as both times left me bedridden for 2 and 3 months respectively. I figured I had to find a safer way of removing any residual mercury left in my body.
I spent the next several years experimenting with diets. Started with SCD and then went mostly raw vegan. After two years I felt worse than ever so I switched to the Paleo diet. I really missed eating meat and eggs the most. Even after switching to Paleo I was still fatigued. I also battled a very bad parasite problem. I think my weak and tired body just had no defence against parasites, sibo and lyme.
I found NB and submitted my first hair test and worked directly with the lab. Low in all minerals except 2. I was in the exhaustion phase and in the 4 lows. I had many different healing reactions and difficulties the first 6 months. I knew these were to be expected and just rode them through. I have really adhered to a fairly strict Paleo diet throughout. I often confused healing reactions with food intolerances . Now that I am 100% sugar, dairy, grains, gluten, food additive free I feel great.
I was very compliant with my supplement program using ARL supplements only. When detox became too intense I would cut down to only 2 doses per day. When things were really bad I often took a few days to a week off. The first year I tested each 3 months and now will test every 4 months. My program has changed with each new test.
I have continued treating the parasites throughout and even spent a month in Mexico receiving ozone treatments for lyme. This increased my wellness by about 25%. I continue to maintain with ozonated water, some herbs and meds.
I am a strong believer of sunbathing, sweating, dry skin brushing and barefooting. I did many plain water enemas throughout the last 14 months. These really helped with detox reactions. Since I started in the 4 lows I was instructed to leave out the sauna for the time being. I took Epsom Salt baths. I used to actually crave these baths I think because I was so low in magnesium.
Copper toxicity has never been my problem. Just want to add this as it is so frequently discussed on many forums. We cannot assume that everyone is copper toxic. My zinc levels have always been between 18 - 20. I did however eliminate lots of aluminum the first 9 months.
I have had many years of counselling to deal with trauma and stress. I have forgiven everyone for everything. I know that an attitude of love and gratitude really brings me serenity. I know that resentments will only drag me backwards. I really try and give love and have received much in return. Although I can still struggle at times I have a strong faith and rely on my higher power heavily.
Today I am free from bipolar, PTSD, chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, hypothyroid has greatly improved, hair, skin and nails are healthier looking. PMS and perimenopause symptoms are mostly gone. According to testing I am no longer in adrenal burnout and thyroid ratio's are much improved. I have much more energy but still have to be careful with the amount of cardio I do. I love walking and do this for about 45 min 4 or 5 times per week.
This post brings me to about 90-95% healed. My future looks bright and I plan on staying on the program for a very long time.
Wishing you all abundant health!
Onwards
