More and more I am hearing about people being diagnosed with different autoimmune diseases such as; Fibromyalgia, MS ( Multiple Sclerosis ) Lupus, Arthritis, Myasthenia Gravis, Heightened Sensitivities, Irritable Bowel Syndrom, other Chronic painful conditions and Chronic Sleep Disorders of which the patient is usually told there are no cures.
I was told in my twenties by a number of doctors that I would never get out of the wheel chair, and if I had listened to them I may still be in one. After curing myself of MS I noticed that these conditions tend to suppress or compromise the natural rhythmic flow of energy in the immune system leaving the person open to mood swings and other condtions as the natural flow of serotonin to the brain is somehow altered. I also noticed that most people have parasites that are destroying their lives,especially if they have pets.
In some cases many of the test done on people may appear normal while some of their symptoms mimic other condtions and may cause a mis-diagnoses. Because of this some doctors will resort to a system of elimination until they are able to narrow it down to what it most likely may be because they are still not sure. Then they prescribe pain killers and antidepressants, which only suppress the painful symptoms. Symptoms that some time look like a viral flu, where as the person has pain all over their bodies, fatigue, brain fog, trouble sleeping, irritable bowels, headaches and even multiple sensitivities.
I have often wondered why a person would settle for popping a pill to cover up their symptoms instead of pushing their doctor to help them be cured. Medicine doesn't cure! Most people won't even pay attention to the side effects of these drugs that can be worse than the symptoms they are having. These people have just given up and allowed the external forces to control how they should live their lives. They are just to afraid and to weak to look inside for the changes they need to make in their lies. Like cigarette smoking. I know the withdrawls are hard but it is worth going through that type of suffering to make a positive change. I quit smoking December 6, 1982 after being a chain smoker of almost 3 packs a day. It was all about my desire to quit and let go of something that was controlling my life.
I've had people say to me, that just because things worked for me does not mean it will work for them. They don't even want to try because the fear in them is even stronger than their pain. I really feel sorry for any one who does not even want to make the effort to try to have a healthier life. To show you I'm not blowiing hot air, here is a testimonial from a woman who came to see me. She had a lot of these symptoms and more because her liver was severly inflamed and the only thing the ER doctor did for her was give her an anti- inflammatory medication in an IV. She refused to settle for the notion that she was broken and there was nothing to help fix her.
Testimonial
"I went to see Crooked Arrow for the first time in April 2002. At that time I had been suffering from low energy, chronic headaches, depression, and a chronic infection affecting my gastrointestinal area which blood test and urinary test could not pinpoint, but which landed me in the emergency room.
Before I left from my first meeting with Crooked Arrow, my headache was gone and I felt more "grounded". By putting her hand in front of my body, she pinpointed a liver problem and suggested to me a natural way to cleanse my body so that the body could heal itself. She also suggested I get off a depression medication I was on ( with my doctor's help) because it wasn't the right one for me-- nor did I need it.
Now, after following her easy, natural methods, my headaches are gone, my depression is gone, my infection is gone, my energy is back, my skin shines, my body is clean and I've lost 20 pounds. I can honestly say I haven't felt this good health in ten years and had ALMOST FORGOTTEN how "Good Health" felt... Ronnie B. from California."
For all who want to let go of the fear that has kept you from finding that healer within you, I am about to give you food for thought. Have any of you taken the time since your illness began to examine what you have been putting into your system and how it might be building up in there? If a doctor will diagnose you through a system of elimination why can't you apply the same method to find your own cure.
I will give you some important facts that may help you along the way as you begin your elimination of things that may be the root of all your pain. The food of our ancestors is not the same nutritional food we find in our grocery stores today. A lot of the meat today is loaded with synthetic growth hormones so the meat has less fat and nitrates to give it a red color. Cooking and eating these meats is even more harmful because they can produce the harmful chemicals HCA ( heterocyclic amines ) and PAH ( polycyclid aromatic hydrocarbons ) that may increase your risk of cancer. Did you know that there are no federal guidelines to address after eating these meats that contain these harmful chemicals?
Fish today is not any better, because of the contamination of our water ways. The water is full of toxic chemicals, bacteria, in some places oil and heavy metals. If you wouldn't dream of drinking this water, why on earth are you eating seafood that swims in it. As these sea creatures swin through the flith of these waters, their bodies absorb all these toxins. Did you know that seafood poisoning tends to be the number one cause of food poisoning as it damages the kidneys and nervous system.
Now they are trying to say that high fructose corn syrup is no different than sugar and that it is good for you. Yet test studies have shown that animals on high fructose diets develop liver problems. Your liver filters your blood for all the other organs to use. So why would you even think of harming your liver to the point you may damage other organs in the process. The soft drinks and energy drinks that a lot of you like to drink are another source of harmful ingredients. If you don't know what the ingredients are or how to pronounce what is on the label, why are you drinking and eating these things?
Parasites are another contributor to poor health. Parasites can cause symptoms such as: dizziness, diarrhea, malnutrition, abdominal pain, weight loss, weight gain, anorexia, burning urination, coughing, fevers, night sweating, nausea, blood in feces, sweating, joint pain, muscle pain and spasms, rectal prolapses, loss of sleep, digestive disturbances, lung and bronchial congestion, acute muscular inflammation, disfigurement of various body parts, typhoid fever symptoms, acute and chronic constipation, vaginal inflammation with yellow, frothy fowl smelling discharge, central nervous system impairment, swelling of eyes and face, malaria like chills and feve, enlargement and malfunction of the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, heart, and gall bladder, rashes, shortness of breath, vitamin B-12 deficiency weakness, colitis, irritability, bloody spit, headaches, bleeding rectum, chest pains, vomiting, chills, burping, anemia, weak immune system, jaundice, skin ulcers, blurry vision and blindness.
