Problems with appendix - maybe removal necessary, and Networking

--- Quote from: Learner on April 24, 2012, 12:17:32 PM ---There is another thing to mention: Since December I am trying to create a post for the Swamp, in order to re-orient or re-direct myself in direction to cleaning the 'machine' physically and psychologically, in order to be a better participant here and to become able to really translate the things I am learning here into DOING. And also, to really get my energy back - as I might have had it eight or nine years or so ago. This means to correctly nourishing the body, the mind, the heart etc., to really connect to myself and to others, help them benefit as well (if they want) etc. There are several programs and things holding me back and I ty to analyze them in the context of personal history, relations to family, to school, to adult life.
And I find, there are a lot of things that need to be get in order and to be done (or thrown over, depending on their nature and their importance). I feel overcharged in some way, but I also want to suss them out. There has been building quite some pressure in me over the past two years regarding the requirement of networking about them (yes, there are issues I want to network about since two years :-[ ) and that pressure increased this year, and it takes energy and therefore things need to be looked at. I fight against my Predator's Mind since so long and still I did not really win. I hoped, I could get ready the regarding post by this week and now that doesn't seem to work out, depending of what will happen to my appendix in hospital. (Sorry for the wailing...)

However, the malfunction of that gland might not be the only cause for that. There might emotional and psychological issues be involved as well.

Are you doing EE also regularly?

[..] I now consider sonography on that area of the stomach or something like that in order to rule that out. [..]
So, my question is: Would you recommend another check through, in order to rule out gall bladder or cyst? Or would you suggest to just leave it, until the pain might come back? :/

I would definitely do more tests, and those are very simple to do. Gallbladder ultrasound is done over the abdomen. For gynecological issues, a trans-vaginal ultrasound seems to be what the physicians now prefer. So, those are two different tests, 20 min or so each, and painless. They may not give you answers what to do, but will help rule things out or help you know exactly what you are dealing with. Good luck and good health to you.
SeekinTruth:
I agree that it's a good idea to get checked out further, and at least rule things out. If you do a search on the forum, there's great information on thyroid dysfunction, gallbladder issues, etc. Especially in the "Life Without Bread" and "Dr. Jack Kruse - Neurosurgeon" threads. There are posts about Leptin Reset protocol for Leptin Resistance by Dr. Kruse (with links to the original source) in those threads which is related to thyroid and other issues.
A recent post in the Dr. Kruse thread has some helpful info:
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,26988.msg338399.html#new
And this post and the following one from Laura in the Life Without Bread (it also appears in the Dr. Kruse thread) thread gives the Leptin Reset info:
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,22916.msg329991.html#msg329991
But you should eventually read those and other threads in the Diet and Health section in their entirety. And again use the search function to find all related discussions/posts. Good luck and keep networking as needed. :)

Hi,
thank you all for your further feedback! You are right about further check-ups. In hindsight my question seems even somewhat foolish to me. Because it is better to rule issues out, instead of leaving them undetected until the pain might come back - as things might be even more serious by then.

You are right - I will at least have certainty and gain a better idea, in which direction to go and how to adapt myself to necessary changes like the ones regarding diet.

Thanks, Hildegarda. I will ask my physician about gallbladder sonography and what further checks might be needed. Gynecological issues have fortunately been ruled out already via examinations and according ultrasound in context of the whole clinical procedure last Tuesday.

If you mean the whole program including the BaHa-part, I have to admit that this is not the case. :-[
BaHa and Warrior's Breathing are not done currently. But I do the POTS every night at least one to three rounds, except when I am too tired. Often I fall asleep during the first round. On most nights before POTS I do a round of at least six to twelve Pipe Breaths. Well, my ideal would be to do the whole program including BaHa twice a week, as recommended - but I guess, including BaHa would not be wise until implementing the dietary changes.
Would it be okay, for the while being, to continue with the protcol I am currently following (but adding the full Three-Stage-Breathing and Warrior's Breath on Mondays and Thursdays)?
Well, however, there are probably some more implications why I am not following the whole EE protocol at the moment. They mainly might have to do with organisation and PM's actions. Therefore, I think I should include EE and organisation etc. in that Swamp post mentioned above as well. Especially as EE seems to go best with dietary changes, as observed by many members of the forum here (from my perspective).

Thank you for providing these posts, SeekinTruth. I did already have a look on the first one, in the Jack Kruse thread, and found the info quite interesting, that dominance of mirror-T3 or reverse-T3 can often be mistaken as substantial thyroid issues, where conventional supplementation of T4 (and other hormones) is given by the physicians. I also found it interesting, that further factors like adrenal fatigue could be involved as well. I will research the according material on the forum and elsewhere. Well, I then have to present my physician or endicronologist with that material and ask for further tests besides conventional ones of T3, T4 and TSH. I just hope, it would not become too confrontational, as many physicians here in my country do not take information from the internet quite serious (from my experience and theobservations of others).
I also have started to read the info Laura has provided about leptin resistance.

Thanks, I will do so. I have tried to "print" the actual version of the "Life Without Bread" thread, in order to convert it into document form, to be able to mark important passages. But that didn't work. Maybe it is because the thread is quite large by now... Fortunately I have an earlier version of it "printed", so probably I will then just need to copy and paste the remaining content.
Thank you again, everyone. I will keep you updated. :)

Yes and no ;). It certainly helps to process things further when the diet is adjusted properly, but is not an exclusive factor that you need to have first adjusted your diet before doing the beatha part. Because many EE practitioners (who are not part of this forum) are first learning about diet changes at a course for example. Take it easy, eventually give it a try including beatha and as you wrote maximum two times in a week and if you feel uncomfortable continue with normal breathing and or extend this part on one time per week or every two weeks and so on.
