Lois’ Health Care Reformation
I have been quite sick again with Crohn’s since my adventures at the significantly less than ideal jobs I went through over the last four months. The showdown with at the English language school with the mean office queen, the Punjabi trainer lady from hell at the Indian restaurant… the cockroach cocktail I inadvertently had (cockroach fell into my glass of water) did not help the situation, nor did the broken sewer line at that location.
Then, at the glorified diner I was scheduled practically non-stop, and my heavy thick-soled waitress shoes irritated the arch of my foot and my knees. So the inflammation spread to those parts of my legs, and I have been hobbling around like an old lady. The pain peaked yesterday, I had arthritic sores on my knee, I was in bad shape.
I’m playing chicken with seeing the doctor for some prednisone. I have been on the SCD diet, but it was not kicking in this time.
I started up again doing weekly or bi-weekly colonics. I started an intensive acupuncture treatment. Interestingly, I found through the electronic meridian test that the Chi in my stomach was weak, and too strong in my lungs, large intestine, and three warmers (whatever these are). The lungs are grief, which does not surprise me. The “autoimmune” label does not surprise me, because when I was a teen I had suicidal tendencies because of the grief that I was submerged and trapped in. The weak stomach makes sense.
Stomach is where we accept nourishment. I have understood that for me, the diarrhea is a repudiation of that nourishment, as was the bulimia of my youth. It is time for me to ACCEPT the nourishment that is self-love.
I’ve started taking huge amounts of oil of oregano, topically and ingestion, following Jini Patel Thompson’s protocol. Bentonite clay, vitamins, fish oil, enzymes, probiotics. I’ve pulled out all the fireworks I can muster.
Last night I felt a shift. I wasn’t in SO much freaking pain in my legs. I hope this trend of betterment continues.
