Hello to all forum members. I am really sorry to take any time away from The Work but I feel a sense of urgency after reading the latest posted transcripts. I didn't find the wealth of information on all of your sites until roughly 3 month ago so I am still playing catch up. I know after reading about the diet and detox threads that it is a true wonder I have made it this far. I survived on bread, dairy, caffeine, sugar and Marlboro's with only a few health problems that I knew about. Small things like sinus problems and low level depression for which I tried the anti-depressive meds just once and was so sick I quit them after 7 days. I always felt like I was walking in glue and now I know why. My major problems were my teeth which I spent a small fortune on and in the end still had them all removed because I had spent the last 3 day weekend suffering with pain...usually after 5pm on a Friday and not being able to see a dentist until Tuesday if I was lucky ... that I was going to do. I have always been a meat eater when the budget allowed in younger times and have been upping my intake recently. We are cleaning out the cabinets and finishing up the last of the bad stuff here in the house and will be able to replace it with better choices next shopping trip. It will be one of the hardest things to give up but I am determined to make it happen because I really want to have a chance to ride the wave with you.
My very good friend and roommate was recently diagnosed with RA and I have been sharing the info from your site with him. He too loves all the bad stuff and will cut down on much of it but I doubt that he will give it up entirely. In fact most of what's left in the bread, dairy and sugar category is his. We have ordered a set of stainless steel pots and pans to get rid of the teflon. I am saving large pickle jars and will soon throw out all the plastic. I have ordered the detox (Dr. Baker's) book and the EE program which I am still waiting for shipment. At the health store I purchased bentonite detox clay and pure magnesium oil. Next is shop for the DMSO tablets or capsules and do much more research in the herb and vitamin supplement area. As soon and these smokes run out I will be switching to plain tobacco and hand rolled cigarettes. I am also searching for a Reiki practitioner in my area but I am so green to all this it is a bit overwhelming. I am also I newbie to meditation but I continue to practice.
Like so many of you I have been dealt many blows in this life time and this old girl is worn out. I had a very strong will when I was younger and once I was free of parental restrictions I learned to speak my mind. As I grew older I grew bolder in pushing boundaries and speaking my mind even if I was wrong. Like a lot of you know when you try and speak out about the truth you are often met with deaf ears in my case especially with family or friends. But I am all too aware that I was often my worst enemy because I didn't listen to my instincts and paid the price for it. I did learn to deal with things as they come even if it meant sitting with the pain of the situation. My lessons were hard learned because I am stubborn but I did learn them.
My whole world crashed when my 17 years old son (only child) was killed in a wreck in 2008 when he was a senior in high school. I had just quit my PI job 2 months prior but it wasn't enough time for...anything I suppose. There was a lot of family drama that came to head and from that point on I was done playing this game and took matters in my own hands by forcing my parents to do what they wanted to do all along which was separate from each other. During that time so many things where going on at once but I knew when things where done that I would go my own way and they would have to learn to live with out each other and me. Sound harsh and it is but it was the only way to break the strangle hold they had over the situation. Trey died in March and we were confronted with many firsts that year including having to clean out his room because I knew it had to be done before I could move. About a year and a half later I packed up most of my stuff and donated it to good will and defaulted on the mortgage and credit card after draining my savings to bury Trey. I spent exactly 12 years in my house and that was were I had the most memories of him. I had tried several different things and that was the last option. I just didn't have much fight left in me.
If it wasn't for my good friend I don't know where I'd be. Those first 2 years were very dark days and I just couldn't care about anything. Losing Trey made me take an even more harder look at my life's choices and guilt is an ever present factor but I am starting to get a little flame of hope back. A lot of it was reading your site and meeting a few others who were in the same situation. I help my friend run his towing business and things are much simpler now. We are opposite but in a weird way we balance each other and that it is the best I can hope for at the time. I thank you for taking a moment to read this and am looking forward to any advice to help further my understanding because I do feel time is running out.
