I'm Jen. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1992, it "came back" (ha!) four years ago. The allopathic world didn't do much - I was going through the military medical system and they didn't think the cancer was "that big of a deal" (the original growth was the size of a match head) so thankfully they didn't damage my body too much. What would have been nice is if they would have told me what cancer was (dis-ease) and how to take care of it myself (eat healthy, drink healthy, get love and support and cut stress....for starters).
Over the years I was diagnosed with a variety of other ailments (fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple chemical sensitivity, asthma, various allergies, hypothyroidism, you get the idea, sure most of you have been there although I hope not!) Mostly I was treated as though I was a mental case for asking so many questions but I kept going back to the allopaths at my husband's request. He was worried about me, he just didn't know that this was the wrong path. When it was evident that the cancer was back, we went to a holistic doctor, at my request. Although he wasn't perfect, there were two things about visiting him that changed my life: (1) he wasn't a fear monger - he told me that I could change this and it would never happen again. and (2) he told me that I was the doctor and my body could heal itself if I listened to it and allowed it to.
It's taken my husband a few years since then to fully understand the "alternative" health world - he's my best friend and closest support so it was hard when he wasn't totally with me. Having 100% support is SO important in this too. It's not only no fun to feel like a freak (even if others don't actually think or say it) but it's detrimental to one's health! Now, my husband is a believer and is doing everything he can to help me regain my complete health.
I've been a lacto-vegetarian for over 20 years, sometime vegan. The only dairy I consume is from our own goats or from friends who produce toxin-free dairy products. I'm still learning what my body is trying to tell me, still learning so much.
Things that have changed in trying to heal myself:
we eat locally, organic food in season (not 100% yet, but getting there)
we don't use poisons in our home or on our bodies (shampoo, cleaning supplies, laundry, etc). We're trying to make as many of these things as possible.
we're fermenting our own foods (kraut, milk and water kefir grains, sourdough)
There's more but my mind's going blank now :0)
Some things we've tried/are trying:
Kombucha
Kefir (water and milk)
Essiac tea
Massive C doses
Budwig diet
Caster oil packs
What I feel I need right now:
Good, healthy food
Clean water
Peace, love, joy, less stress
LAUGHTER, and I already laugh a lot
Support
Safety to be a "weirdo" as I figure out my path
Sunshine
I am looking forward to gleaning new ideas and learning from everyone else. I have a lot of support and friendship to give.
Here's to better health for all!
Hugs - Jen
