Hi Ann & Judi,
Well today marks 2 months on the diet.
What a ride it has been. I wrote last month and things were turning around. Then they continued to turn until they went full circle and I felt pretty bad. Now I am feeling up again. I guess we don’t get to dictate the way the body heals.
I have started to see a kinesiologist every 2 weeks to muscle test me for food sensitivities. It has proved VERY helpful. It also helps to boost my confidence in knowing my own body. I can confirm my suspicions, and learn things I had no idea about. I have a long way to go.
When I started the diet, I felt like train wreck. When I read about learning about my body’s reaction to foods. I thought I would never be able to tell what the hell is going on. But because I didn’t have a better idea, I got on board. I am so glad I did. Now I can tell when I ate something reactive within a few hours. It is the most empowering feeling. I no longer feel like I have this raging untamable monster inside of me and nothing short of a miracle will pull me back to health. Thanks to you, I get it now. I know why things are happening and how to help them to stop. I am a different person. I am a person who is getting on with living rather than slowly dying.
For all the alternative treatments, research, money, travel and searching I have done. I feel blessed to be writing this. I like to chuck in each time I write about a treatment I’ve done, Just for fun… I went to Guatemala for 4 months and saw a Guatemalan healer 5 days a week, for 16 weeks, for a dose of his fresh herbs daily. What an experience. I didn’t speak Spanish and I am not exactly ambulatory. Um… didn’t do much but no regrets.
I’ll check in again next month.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Blessings
