Re: To Carol - individual health problems

February 4, 2002

Carol,

Your words were very interesting. So how does a person find out what his/her individual health problem is? Just by observing themselves? Taking tests? Or how? I myself do not have MS but my younger brother does, so I am asking on his behalf.

Thank you,

Alena

Alena,

I came to that conclusion, after I'd done a couple of years or so of research on the web and through books, and being on lists like this one. One thing leads to another and soon you get into all different areas of health. As I gathered info, I began to see patterns that painted a pretty good picture of what my problems were......by seeing my various symptoms overlapping from one health condition to another. It was sort of the process of elimination too. Also, I had been having a physical every year, and I knew I was in excellent health, other than the MS. My doctor would always say, "If it wasn't for the MS, I'd say you're in excellent health!" He'd tell me things like, "Well, you don't have to worry about ever having a heart attack", etc. too. Plus, I'd go over all my tests, which gave me clues too, and helped me eliminate a lot of problems.....I mean I discovered what problems I don't have. I did go to a Naturapath about 5 years ago and he ran some tests, where I discovered I had candida overgrowth and intestinal dysbiosis. So, right there, I knew some of the problem was my intestines.

In other words, you just have to play detective and be willing to spend untold hours on the internet and at the library. (Unless you can afford to just put yourself in the hands of a Naturapath - if they're good, they'll figure it out for you.) Guess that would have been a shorter way of saying the same thing I did above! LOL

Dear Alena;

I am sure Carol will have great info for you, but I thought I would put in

my two cents worth:

I think that all disease is caused by imbalance, and our symptoms are

person-specific depending on our individual make-ups, dominant metabolic

systems, personal histories and mental states. Why one person gets Crones,

the other Colitis, the other M.S. is a mystery. I think if your brother

makes a list of all the things in his life that have caused him imbalance,

that all of these issues need to be addressed. Everything from poor diet,

heavy metal poisening, childhood vaccinations, Lyme disease, bacterial

infections, Leaky Gut, etc. There are some tests available to diagnose some

of these issues, but I think your brother will probably know intuitively

which of these issues needs to be addressed first.

Personally, I think we are a nation of overeaters who are nutritionally

starved. We have created nothing but imbalance in our intestinal tracts that

have caused us disease. Diet is always a good place to start.

God Luck!

Regards;

Am I missing something here? Was there something addressed to me in this email?
