Keeping the faith

[Guest guest]

,

I also woke up a SSgt and went to bed a Sra. There are many of us suffering

from this program. We have to maintain our dignity and get through it.

Stand tall, and be proud of doing what's right.

Don't believe their bogus numbers obout the ones who are refusing. There

are more and more every day......

Out of curiosity, did you pursue a religious waiver?

I really didn't have a strong basis for a religious waiver. I went at it head

on and will live with that!!!!

I just hope that no one...you son included...will develop something similar

to Agent Orange syndrome a few years down the line. Remember that this

vaccine was last approved by the FDA 28 years...that's right...28 years ago.

And did you hear that the military took over the plant and is spending $32

million to refurbish the plant??? And what about the long term effects of the

vaccine??? Where are those studies??? And why are there allergic reactions to

this vvaccine??? And if we(as Americans) are so concerned about domestic

terrorism...the bombing of the World Trade center, the bombing in Oklahoma

City, etc.....then why aren't public health workers and EMTs and nurses and

doctors and police officers having to get the vaccine??? In other words, why

aren't we vaccinating the people who would really come in contact with

victims of a terrorist attack????? Is the military being used as guinea pigs

here???

Tell me...why does the Israeli military...who is much more prone to terrorist

attack than just about anyone in the U.S. military...not vaccinate its

personnel against anthrax??? Why doesn't the British military, whose

anthrax vaccinations are voluntary???

And let's just say that you were the leader of an arab nation..like Saddam

Hussein.

If you were going to launch an attack against the U.S. military with chemical

or biological weapons, and most, if not all, of the military was vaccinated

against anthrax, then would you use anthrax against the Americans??? Of

course not.

That would be pointless, since they would have the vaccine against anthrax.

Therefore, you would just switch to something else..like sarin or mustard gas

or the like..since the military hasn't been the guinea pigs YET for any

vaccine against those type of biological and chemical weapons.

Hope this idea makes you think about the Pentagons vaccinations of our

military members.

Not trying to rebuttal, but, just trying to get some clarification. What if

one never knew of the religious waiver, and thought an order was an order,

period, and took it with thinking there was no option? Afterall, has anyone

ever had vaccines come up when they were talking with a recruiter??? Never

happened here. Only " great opportunities " . So, if one finds out later, does

that disqualify them?

<< My son is a Marine in Hawaii and we looked into the religious waiver;

however, if you have taken other shots, you can't use that reason >>

> Well. Things have changed. I appear to be re-tracing the hardest health issues

of my life from just about one year ago when I spent several months in bed and

two weeks in the hospital after completely crashing on too much hydrocortisone

for my adrenals. I was anxious, depressed and so weak I couldn't hold a cell

phone or a fork! I really think my body was shutting down then.

that this passes sooner rather than later.

+++Hi Chris. I understand how miserable retracing can be - been there, done

that! Just think of it this way - now that is behind you and you don't have to

go through it again. Yippee!

I don't believe you are retracing all at once, since you would experience

detoxing symptoms, like mucus in your sinuses, because retracing includes

cleaning up and getting rid of toxins. After your body clears out the toxins

involved in that episode, then it rebuilds.

To help get through these episodes, do things that help your body detoxify, i.e.

Epsom salt baths, coffee enemas, dry skin brushing (or another mild form of

exercise), etc. This is a time when you should have an all liquid diet

including Bee's Egg Drink, soup, bone broths, etc. since your body is stressed,

which interferes with digestion.

So hang in there, since this too shall pass.

Warm fuzzies and healing hugs, Bee

If anyone else wants to share their stories of scary re-tracing that

have since resolved, I would so love to hear it. It's times like this

that I wish Bee had a local spa where I could go have a cup of mint tea

and hear words of encouragement from my friends here!

Hi

I would gladly check myself into Bee's spa if she had one.  I've had some dark

times in my life and when I began retracing those, I didn't realize that was

what was happening.  Instead I thought I was spiraling back down into the hole I

had been in and this frightened me so much that I backed off Bee's program and

other healthy things that I was doing too.  Even my husband became very

concerned because it seemed to come out of nowhere.  I can show you my journal

which is full of negativity and sometimes utter dispair.  That's how strong it

was.

I came out of it, started back on Bee's program and then reached another low

point.  This happened three times before it occurred to me that I must be

re-tracing.  You can't imagine how scared I had been and how relieved I was to

know that I wasn't going back to the darkness.

Physically I can say that my re-tracing is following an exact turn-about of the

various problems my body was having up until I began Bee's program.  It's

astonishing.

These things do pass and now that I'm more comfortable allowing them to

re-surface (for a bit), I try to wish them goodbye and I try to focus on the

fact that they will not bother me ever again.  Knowledge is power and with Bee's

guidance, we now have that.  Heavy sigh of relieve here.

Hope this helps you as much as you've helped me. Thanks for being the such a

good example of keeping the faith!

Thanks so much everyone for your kind thoughts. It really helps to hear others'

re-tracing experiences. I think it's natural for self-doubt to surface when we

revisit scary health experiences from the past. The thing that seems to help me

keep the faith the most is the transitory nature of symptoms that arise. AND of

course, the improvements I have already experienced since being on the diet. (I

had a massage for the first time in six months the other day and it was the

first time I can remember that there were no stiff or spasmed muscles to fix!)

I have decided that since I am doing all I can for my physical health by

following Bee's diet, I need to " turn off " my researching/worrying obsession and

instead focus on channeling my emotional energies into healing and away from

fear. This, of course, may seem obvious, but the challenge is in letting go of

this lifelong habit and in creating the discipline, space and priority in my

life for beach walks, meditation, etc. I have also just started the free on-line

experiential excersies of A Course in Miracles. (Thank you Marissa!)

I feel hopeful
