Sugar, TLC, new assignment, and ramblings....

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Have been reading a lot lately. A while ago, about 2 months probably, I ordered some TLC. I knew it couldn't do anything but help me feel better.

Lately, I have been getting more and more sores, that REALLY hurt, even if not pressed on as I have increased to two drinks a day.

My question is about what I am adding to the drink? As some have mentioned cutting out sugar in the last few days, it dawned on me that I have been adding frozen fruit to my drink, to make it a smoothie. I don't add juice, just water and I have been adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to it as well.

Do you think I should just be mixing up the powder with water? And what else do you suggest that I use to help clear my pathways? (Metagenics has been mentioned, but I don't have my gallbladder, so not sure.) I am guessing that since it is tough to get these little sores to "pop" and they hurt so much, it means that my pathways are blocked. Not sure, but asking.

I am not in the best situation for eating healthy because I do caregiving. I have to eat what this lady eats for the most part. That is also part of the reason that I went to the smoothie type of drink. She doesn't get too upset if I am not eating her food.

Also, am looking for something else because this lady is so depressed it is difficult for me to be around her. Recently, I went off both of my anti-depressants. I had weaned off my Prozac, but went cold turkey off my 300 mg Wellbutrin XL. I have been tired, but after reading lots on anti-depressants, I figured continuing to take them may be part of my problem. (I have had to take them for a very long time. I kept feeling PASSIVELY suicidal and thought maybe going off of them like I did the Thyroid meds - which worked too well when I started the Low Dose Naltrexone, might be the same situation and so I stopped taking them.) Anyway, am not as depressed, just tired most of the time. I am not as anxious either. I love that part!!!

Well, any thoughts are appreciated of course. You are all a wealth of wisdom for me. I got to share a lot of what I have learned here last nite with an 86 year old who might be trying LDN and Iodine. Then, another lady who is a teacher and is suffering from lots of pain with fibro. I told her about the LDN, but added that more energy had come when I added the Iodine. I did have to work on my adrenals first though. It was nice to have TWO people who were interested in their own health for a change. Most people think I am nuts. I am getting to the point that I just don't care what they think of what I do. I want to be able to go back to being a Social Worker. Not having my own place for the last 3 years is tough. I do have weekends off, but no where to go most of the time. I have too many bills to try and have my own place for now. I just keep plugging along.

I would like to find something else as far as a position. I would rather work with someone more active. I have had the blessing of being able to study about my health a lot these last 3 years, which has gotten me to this point. I just hope that the Universe/God will have something more challenging next time and that it will be soon. I am willing to be where I am for now though.

Thanks for listening. Didn't realize how much all this fit together until I started typing this all out. You are a great group! And to the moderators and , I just can't say thank you enough. I don't know enough to volunteer to moderate, but do appreciate all that you do for us.

Glowing, grace~As Ghandi taught, the secret to life is to struggle against oppression and to fight for what is needed, but not to be attached to any particular outcome. Therein lies the secret of peace within the chaos.
