Symptom Checkup
It’s hard to believe I had all these symptoms. I was told they were mainly due to some sort of psychosomatic disorder or mental illness which I actually believed for a long time. Medication and more rest was their primary treatment solution offered. These ‘hard to diagnose’ chronic illnesses are a nightmare for mainstream doctors. I understand that they have been taught a certain way and they must adhere to that protocol.
Simple, relatively low cost and ‘common-sense’ treatments are working well for me. What I consider to be ‘Dark Age’ treatments such as counselling and medication aren’t required.
Over the course of 15 years, I was diagnosed with the following:
Post-Viral Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Somatoform/Psychosomatic Illness, Depression, Various Anxiety Disorders, Suspected Chronic Mercury Poisoning, Copper Toxicity, ‘Four Lows’ Mineral Imbalance, Severe / Chronic Exhaustion, Adrenal Fatigue / Exhaustion, Systemic Candida, Parasite Overgrowth.
It’s possible I had all of those ‘disorders’, but there has to be some underlying cause or causes. As I get better, those causes are becoming more obvious; although I realise I will probably never be able to confidently say that one thing or another was responsible for my poor health. It seems that it is a combination of factors that come together to create a perfect storm. Genetics, toxins, upbringing, bad luck, the way of the world….who really knows? The main thing is that I’m improving consistently, and that is what is important.
SYMPTOMS:
Disappearing:
Heart palpitations
Joint and muscle pain/stiffness has all but gone.
Bouts of Nausea
Hypertension – my body feels more relaxed
Emotionally resilient – no longer ‘super sensitive’
Food cravings
Breathing regulation – no more ‘stop start’ type thing.
Chronic Sinusitis – 90% gone
Muscle twitching – eyelids and fingers mainly
Irritability – I don’t over react any more.
Digestive issues have settled down. Things are more regular.
Chemical Sensitivities – I don’t gag on car exhaust and cigarette smoke any more.
Headaches – can’t remember the last one I had.
Muscle tenderness
Blood sugar swings / Hypoglycaemia. Better tolerance to cold.
I can sit still for more than 2 minutes; in fact I crave quiet time now.
Temperature regulation – no more shivering and sweating at the same time
Circulation issues – no more tingly arms.
Struggling to explain things to people; general confusion.
Fearfulness.
Much Improved:
Brain Fog – my mind is clearing.
Extreme Fatigue – it seems my flat battery is finally recharging.
Sleeping – I haven’t slept this well in ten years. Feels like sleep is actually working.
Nervous system is much stronger – not so jumpy.
Tinnitus – this isn’t driving me nuts as much.
Malabsorption – food feels like it’s reviving me instead of just keeping me alive.
Feelings of unreality, spaced out, zombie like. Separate world to everyone else.
Appetite better and enjoying food more.
Speech – I can find the words I need now. Not sure where they went.
Carbohydrate Intolerance and foods in general.
Skin Rashes
Short term Memory and Cognitive Ability
Anxiety and Depression – anything from chronic to severe are a thing of the past.
Poor balance and co-ordination
Adrenal function – I can stand up quickly without getting ‘the dizzies’
Joints and are working better – not so much pain and ‘popping’.
Muscles are strengthening.
Just happier, find myself laughing more, personality returning.
Posture – no longer arched forward, I’m ‘straightening up’
Not so ‘lost’ any more – I’m getting to know myself.
My core minerals are re-balancing – no longer dangerously low.
Avoiding social situations – it was just too hard to fit in.
I’m making better decisions, based on good health instead of ego and material gain.
Still lurking:
A small percentage of many of the above symptoms, they come and go less frequently.
Photo-phobia – sensitivity to light
Physical activity endurance
I still have a fair way to go but I’m making slow and steady progress.
My 3rd hair test results are due any day so I will post the results.
Best Health, John
Nearly Gave Up while Retracing..
I have just got through a month of Retracing (or Healing Crisis). I really couldn’t do to much at all and I felt miserable. After a few weeks of this, just like last time, I began to lose faith in my program. I started to question whether the supplements were doing more harm than good. As soon as this lack of faith starts to kick in, it can be a matter of hours before I decide to give up and just stop everything. But I hung in there; staying as calm as possible and just ‘watching’ the symptoms. That is the key, either I reacted negatively to the retracing, adding unnecessary stress, or gracefully continue with what has worked up to this point.
I may have lowered some supplement doses and done some more symptom support, but I stayed true to course.
About a week after this turning point, I came out of it feeling better than before it started.
It takes so long to get use to just quietly dealing with symptoms instead of forcing them to go. We are programmed to believe than and pain or suffering isn’t good and it must be relieved immediately by any means. It’s actually an unhealthy way to go because our bodies never get to do the healing work they are designed to do. We constantly kick the can down the road and can’t understand why we never feel vibrant; always on the lookout for something to stimulate us out of our stupor, like coffee and carbs or dull the pain with booze.
So hang in there and have faith in the program, even if you feel worse than you ever have, because it’s only temporary. Be patient and don’t react – it wastes energy and whatever you get angry with starts to have power over you. Don’t let it in.
I have my third hair re-test due back in a month so that will be interesting. I wonder if this recent retracing episode will show up on it as a dumping of copper or mercury. We’ll see.
