Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Dear Cherie, I see an osteopath once a week and have done for the past two years, what worries me is I always feel much better after my appointment. If I am likely to feel bad the osteopath will warn me that he's worked deeply or moved something that may make me feel a bit spaced out, but I never feel ill after infact the opposite. If you are not happy I would not see him again. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Cherie, when you are very toxic it is normal to feel worse after a massage or adjustment because the manipulation releases those toxins into your body. HOWEVER... if you have been seeing this guy fr several months with no sign of improvement than I would stop seeing him. I think you may need to just start with some hot baths once a week and let your body really rest inbewtween. Could you post your list of supplements so we can help you decide if you are overdoing it? Also, I would not spend any money on any kind of muscle thing. Most natural doctors are very poorly trained unless they are also MDs. The world of NDs is getting better and the requirements to become an ND have come a long way, but to be honest the service as a whole was founed on these quacky tests that have absolutely no science behind them. Don't get me wrong, I am 100% for alternative therapies, and I do believe highly in chiropractic work and also in natural doctors, but not when they suggest quackery. I am reading a book right now that goes into detail about every " medical " technique and it's foundation and it's progress. It's fascinating to learn about how and where these things start and on what type of science they are founded in. Including regular MD medicine!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I wonder about the legitimacy of muscle testing too, but when you are desperate for help, who knows? He seems so sure of himself, and believes in the triangle theory - that if your structure, nutrition and emotions are balanced, you will be healthy. I am beginning to feel that you girls know more about this, and maybe I should try stopping these and starting Primal Defense. He has me on Omega Rx (fish oil) Cholacol II Parotid Wheat Germ Oil Zymex (digestive enzyme) Calcium Lactate Catalyn (multi??)

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 There's nothing wrong with the triangle theory, it makes perfect sense, but it seems to me that you are spending an awful lot of time and money without results. That's a pretty hefty list of supplements! I am only taking primal defense once a day and my multi vitamins with a little extra B complaex and calcium/magnesium. Even though I have had bad days, I am overall greatly improved! I did the fungal defense and then switched to primal and honestly that is all I have done along with strict diet changes. I would seriously consider stopping his reccommendations for a while to see if these other things will work for you. I'm sure that he is very confident in what he is telling you, think of all the money he's making! He may be a great guy with the best of intentions, I don't mean to bash him, I don't know him. But if it isn't working then it isn't working and you should try another method. I hoestly think the primal defense and the diet changes have made the most significant difference in my own healing. I am getting ready to start doing the bath soaks now. I have been too toxic to really do them until now, but I think I am ready to give it a try again. Baths are incredibly cheap and oh so relaxing. : ) Big hugs, > > > > Cherie, when you are very toxic it is normal to feel worse after a > > massage or adjustment because the manipulation releases those > toxins > > into your body.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Cherie As I have said before we are all very different in how we respond to supplements. If you are anything like me (and I am not saying you are), I would be feeling much worse on all those supplements. I can't take chlorella or flax seed oil or enzymes without getting myself in terrible pain. I don't know for sure why my body reacts this way but I think it has to do with the way my detoxification pathways work. If you release toxins, but then can't eliminate them properly, you will feel worse, and in addition, they won't be all eliminated and your body will recycle some of them. That is why I have to go very slow. I take one thing at a time at the miminum dose to see how it affects me. I can't stress enough how important it is not to take more than one or two things at once. If you do, you won't know what is helping and what isn't. If I were you I would concentrate on cleansing in simple ways. Drinking alot of pure water, taking a detox bath once or twice a week (going easy on the stuff you use), etc. For a supplement, I would maybe only use primal defense and maybe a product like advaclear or ultraclear that will help your liver detox more gently. Juicing is ok as long as you start out slow. Like once a day. First you need to lay off this stuff and get your pain levels down. It is very tempting to want to load up on everything that people say helps them. We all want to get better quickly. Unfortuantely, for most of us it doesn't work that way. I could tell you the things that help me, but that doesn't mean they will have the same effect on you---and vice versa. I would stop the chiropractor adjustments for awhile. They are probably making you herx. Massage can make some people herx terribly. It is all so individual. But your first priority is to get your pain and fatigue levels down. The quickest way to do that is to quit everything that your doing for at least three days to a week. In that time period, just concentrate on resting, drinking lots of water, and eating as nutritiously as you know how. Think positive thoughts and try to destress. See if your pain levels drop. If they do, you will know you are on the right track---that you were herxing alot. Then after that, start one thing only and listen to your body. I hope that helps and that you have a good thanksgiving. You will get better--it just takes time and the right approaches.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Cherie, It looks to me as well like you're taking an awful lot of stuff--I'd stick with the fish oil, multi and chlorella and maybe take a break from the others. Chlorella is a good thing for detoxing--there is another great green powder called Green Vibrance that I take every day--I started when I still had implants, and it made a HUGE difference, got me out of bed, seriously. It has seaweeds, chlorophyl rich plants, adaptogens, etc. You can get it online, just Google it to find the cheapest price. My uncle, who is suffering from a type of plastic poisoning with symptoms similiar to ours, went to several toxicology experts in the teaching hospitals here, and they told him that chlorophyl-rich green powders are the best thing for detoxing the body of heavy metals, chemicals, etc. They also suggested a handful of cilantro and a handful of seaweed every day. There's good research to back this up. So crank up the Mexican food and the sushi!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Cherie, I went through a period of horrible back pain last year and went to a chiropractor that we knew as a family friend. I really thought he could help me, but in the end, I felt that my money was wasted. I did feel a difference in the adjustments....he used a machine that I can't remember the name of now, and I clearly felt the " zing " when he cleared a blocked energy pathway. It seemed that the science behind it was all there. However, it didnt' help the pain, and I was getting a little concerned about the never-ending appointments that were scheduled. Finally, I realized that my back pain was due to the overconsumption of my raw milk! I had fallen in love with chai latte's that I made with raw milk around the holidays last year and was guzzling them like crazy. When I finally cut them out, the back pain went away. And it has stayed away, as long as I am very moderate in my consumption of foods high in saturated fats. Saturated fats increase the inflammatory response in our body. Unsaturated fats decrease it (such as evening primrose oil, fish oil, flax oil). So, make sure you are cutting back on animal products and increasing your fish oils or omega 3 fatty acids. See if that helps. God bless, Patty --- In , " Cherie " <cheriesut@y...> wrote: > > Hi > I have been seeing this natural doctor for a few months, taking lots of > supplements to detox.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Melinda - Mexican food sounds good, but sushe? Yuk! Did your uncle have sharp arthritic type pains? I was diagnosed with arthritis in my left sternoclavicular joint, but since explant it has moved to the right - soooo strange. Do you take Primal Defense? I think I am going to go off everything for a few days and then add one thing at a time - as per Kathy's advice. Everyone has such good advice, it's hard to know what to do.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Cherie, I love sushi (the vegetarian kind, like California rolls, etc) but don't much go for raw fish. You can also use seaweed in salads, miso soup, etc. In our house we eat roasted, spicy nori for snacks. My uncle has terrible joint and muscle pain, fatigue, cognitive problems, etc. All the stuff most of us have had from implants. They think it might be from microwaving food in plastic wrap, which he did a lot as a longtime bachelor. The green powders he's been consuming have helped--he's had his liver biopsied three times already and the levels of chemicals have gone down, though they aren't gone. My poor uncle is another example of how the old corporate motto "Better living through chemistry" (I think Dow said it) is such bullshit. As far as I'm concerned, petroleum in any form is evil, and I will be glad to see the day when petroleum supplies have peaked(some say they have already). I've never tried Primal Defense. Other than a multi, fish oil and Green Vibrance, I try to stick with simple stuff, as I don't have a big budget for supplements. I use a lot of herbs that I powder and make my own gel caps and tinctures. Tumeric and ginger are two of my faves, really good for inflammation and to stimulate NK cells (which by the way are significantly reduced in people with silicone poisoning).Also, my belief is that if you eat a really clean diet of primarily organic fruits and vegies and get enough rest and exercise, your body will detox well. Of course there are always situations where extra help is needed. I don't have candida symptoms and my gut is fine (knock on wood), or I may have gone in for some of the more powerful detox aids that a lot of the ladies talk about.I am continually amazed at the wealth of healing substances that are right under our noses, things we take for granted-- everyday foods and herbs, etc-- that "science" comes out and "proves" are beneficial. I know it's hard to figure out your own health regime. Gather everyone's suggestions and then sift through and find what works best for you! Trust yourself. That's the beauty of this forum-- everyone's experience counts. Melinda Re: Natural Doctor - I'm not feeling better yet Melinda - Mexican food sounds good, but sushe? Yuk!
