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 3^rd hair test results are due any day so I will post the results.

Best Health, John
