Sounds wonderful, I need to look on the map to see where that is, but I didn't know that there is a great counselor in clearwater! I didn't think there were many resources here in florida - do you know of others Reggie? I hope you have a great time Anja, would love to hear all about it when you are able to post about it!

Question on health problems

Dear friends,I would like to ask about some health problems I currently have. I started mb about two years ago. I think I am doing mb quiteproperly, although one never really knows. Well, I have plenty mbbooks and know I really find tasty my brown rice. There is no problemfor me to eat miso soup with rice for breakfast, etc. Of course, Iconsume no dairy products, sugar or meat. I don't eat a lot of fruit,just one apple each two or three days... well, I really don't see anywrong I am doing with standard mb. Maybe the only thing I do sometimesis to drink dark coffee (without sugar), one or two cups per week, I'dsay. I started mb because I had a lot of health problems, and I have founda great relief in all of them. However, some of them come back withoutany apparent reason. Specifically:1. I am getting fatter. There is no problem with it yet. After my mbdiet I changed from being

really fat to being really thin. But now Ihave gained about 10% of weight without any apparent reason. There isno problem with it, because I am still far from being fat again, but Icannot understand how my rice + beans which made me so thin are nowmaking me fat again.2. I am very cold. I find relief in miso soup, but sometimes it islike the internal heat of my body is off. This can be objectivelymeasured with a thermometer. 3. I don't feel as energized as I was before with my mb diet. I feellazy, weak. 4. The pace of my intestines have also slowed. I am sorry to say thisbut the smelling of my depositions is not as nice as it was. I wasastonished about how much mb changed this smelling, from the usual oneto something which... well, 'good' is not exactly the right word... Isuppose those of you really in mb know what I am talking about. Knowthis smell have changed for worse. 5.

I have started again to have some cognitive problems. Not as strongas they were before mb, but they have started to be here again. Theyare most apparent in meditation. I cultivate mindfulness in every daylife quite seriously and I see very clearly how my attention switchesoff without apparent reason. This is difficult to explain but, if anyof you are in this, you will also know what I am talking about. 6. My sexual drive... mmm... what's that?So I wonder what is happening. All these problems (with some others)made me come to mb, after visiting many doctors without any success.They seemed to be hypothyroidism, but after many tests hypo wasdiscarded. Mb seemed to be a nice solution, but now it seems thatthere is something wrong which even my beloved brown rice is notsolving. Clearly, from a mb point of view they are symptoms of a veryyin condition. But I really don't see my diet to be yin. Where

thisyin come from?The only thing that has occurred to me is that maybe I am suffering asort of intoxication. I have an appointment to remove mercury amalgamsin my teeth, but I consider this as a blind (and expensive!) shoot.Maybe the only thing that can be done is acceptation of the fact thatmy health is bad and learn to live with it. However... well, it wouldbe nice to still have some good years ahead!Sorry if this message is too long or messy. Any ideas will be verywelcome. Best regards,
