Re: Getting Well as Opposed to Being Sick

[Guest guest]

thanks, !

some very good points that I needed to hear again – and in a different way that is very helpful to me, where I am now.

I let me get pulled off the good routine I had found.

and I need to get REALLY restarted, not just partly and reluctantly, knowing I HAVE to...

If you think you cannot be cured, you will always be sick.

If you mistrust people, you will never hear when the right answer is spoken.

If you ask for help, but refuse the help that is given, then you are not really looking for help in the first place.

You are merely venting and seeking the instant gratification that comes with the replies of those who are exerting effort to help you.

My father's friend, Denny, lost his legs in Vietnam. He went from being a strong 6'4" football player to sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. His wife died from cancer last year. He deals with constant pain, yet he is a happy man, a good father and a productive member of society.

If you can still hobble around your house, then you are better off than Denny is.

Two Important Points:

First, most chronic illnesses are caused by chronic inflammation and nutrient deficiencies. Consider nutrition whether you are thin, normal or obese. Doctors think malnourished only when they see emaciated patients. But, people suffering from functional nutrient deficiencies are 80% more likely to be overweight.

The second part is that ABSORBING nutrients is just as important as eating them. If you do not absorb, you will not benefit. This is where doctors lose it...because they will never consider malabsorption as a possibility unless you look like a stick figure, unless you suffer from chronic diarrhea and anemia.

Celiac disease is caused by an immune attack on wheat, barley, rye and oats in the small intestine. This leads malabsorption and nutritional deficiencies. It is the most common autoimmune disease in the world and the most commonly missed diagnosis. If you have celiac disease, the simple cure is changing your diet to remove wheat, barley, rye and oats and identifying and correcting nutrient deficiencies - so ruling it out is the FIRST thing doctors should do.

I recovered from acid reflux, IBS, chronic fatigue, bone pain, anxiety, being 25 lbs overweight and a host of other problems in a few short months when I changed my diet - after my doctor refused to test me for celiac disease. Luckily for me, my mother was a nurse who doggedly pursued a diagnosis for 25 years and more than 20 specialists until she found this was the source of her health problems. Our symptoms were different. She had constipation, low energy and knifelike pains in her feet when she walked.

We recovered and decided to help people. We meet hundreds of people whose doctors had resigned them to a life of misery with diagnoses like "idiopathic" (translation: I don't know) and "incurable" (translation: I don't know how to fix it).

That's why we help people. I am not saying everyone has celiac disease, but if you do, a miraculous recovery may be days or weeks away.

Hello Yes, that's very true and thank you for the inspiration that your wheel chair friend provides but I must say that venting is good and the first step to support someone is not always to offer your opinions but to listen and acknowledge. Support isn't about solving problems for another person but about helping them believe in themselves so that they can find the strength to do what they know they should do. Offering knowledge and advice is appreciated but it's the soul that needs the support and fears that need to be allayed.Regards,From: Libonati
