Free my head

[Heaalih]

To continue the subject in an other thread.

I started taking my shower with cold water. It quite hard, especially the head...
I hope it will help me with my continuous headaches while I won't try SRT.

Are you drinking enough distilled water and getting enough minerals (magnesium, potassium, and salt) on a daily basis? Headaches can result from lack of clean water/minerals. Also getting enough nutrients from your diet? And on that note, are you on organic keto diet and avoiding things like grains, milk, and soy entirely? Continuous headaches can also be a result of mononucleosis (the kissing disease), but in that case they shouldn't last more than 2-3 weeks or so as you recover. Also, how is your gut health? If you had any anti-biotics lately I'd recommend some good digestive enzymes and pro-biotics. Also, tension headaches can result from overstressing your body physically either by working out, having a bad posture, etc.

Headaches aren't "normal" and unless you had a tumor or something, are usually completely and permanently eliminated when you introduce what may be lacking, or eliminate a chemical/substance that may be causing it (like an inflammatory food)....

Another source of chronic headaches can be a spinal subluxation, the result of an old accident or fall. In addition to the headache, are there any neck, shoulder or back pains? That would be telling, and a trip to a reputable chiropractor could end the problem for once and for all. It worked for my daughter's migraines, and I had to nearly drag her to the doctor for an adjustment. She had been programmed to believe that chiropractic was quackery.

Thanks for those ideas. But it has been twenty years that I have this "helmet". It's not painfull but like I'm in a cloud. It oppress my head and it makes hard to concentrate. I've met a lot of professionals : osteopaths, homeopaths, acupuncture, general medicine with scanner, an holistic therapist I know well for transgenerationnal cleaning and she told me that she cannot help more but that this problem seems link to an entity. I'm since some weeks now wearing glasses to correct my look because the last osteopath I saw was posturologist and it appears I have a slight divergence. Nothing better so far. I have to meet him again to work my skull, because it has to be positioned. The precedent osteopaths did it already but my skull was keeping going in the wrong position without knowing why. I hope this time it will stay well because I'm sometime desperate... At the time it begun I cannot identify any circumstances that could have trigerred it.

Moreover, I drink essentially osmosed water now. I almost never took antibiotics. I tried not to eat gluten nor cheese during one month and a half at the beginning of this year but nothing changed. I've been vegetarian during seven years but since three years I eat again meat and fish with long period without soy.

Can you remember what did happen then in your life, when they started 20 years ago? You don't have to tell us if it's too personal, of course.

I can't remember a special thing, it is a quiet period in my life (16 years old).

I thought sometimes that it could be an "alien chip" like described in the wave series : I remember a dream I did between maybe 5 and 10 years old. I did it each year 3 or more times around my birthday in august:
I was abducted by alien chimpanzees like in "Planet of the Apes". I was prisoner in their spaceship. I felt no threat and I wasn't hurt. While the time is going in the dream, I have more and more liberties and finally I could come and go as one of them. Even the spaceship is changing by having no more roof, like a flying plateform. At the end they placed me back on earth, and it was almost a warm good bye. But the most impressive thing is that they put me back on a gigantic streetlight from where I could see the cities below shining with their night light. It was a really peacefull moment, yet today when I remember it.

 

[Minas Tirith]

Before going to the Planet of the Apes, there might be other reasons. :) You really seem to have seen a lot of doctors, so I guess they took care of your structural frame, and I assume they ruled out any kind of tumor as well.

This got me thinking:

The precedent osteopaths did it already but my skull was keeping going in the wrong position without knowing why.

I once had a car accident and couldn't move my head in one direction - even after months and months of therapy. It came out that it was linked to an earlier trauma (which was triggered by the later one, the accident), and only after the earlier trauma was resolved, it was fine. It might be that even though you can't remember anything triggering it, there might have been something linking it to something previous. Might be a far shot, though.

M.T.

It's possible that proper Spirit Release Therapy may be of help to you, or at least worth a shot. If you want to go that route, you'd have to find a good practitioner who follows very similar methods as outlined on the forum by Laura, and also do some research into their background as much as possible, and there's some threads on the forum about that. Similarly, you could try finding a Reiki practitioner who also has good methodology and lineage. A few other things that may work would be Homeopathy or even Kinesiology. Kinesiology you could partially try yourself, you'd get Kinesiology tape and there's a manual here somewhere that would explain how to apply it on different body parts based on what hurts.

At the same time, the dietary aspects are always crucial. You mentioned you were a vegetarian for 7 years, which we know can cause neurological issues, but I'm glad you've been consuming healthy brain-feeding fats for 3 years now. Have you also largely eliminated carbs from your diet, or did you simply introduce meat? Going full keto, if you're not already, could help (not to mention so many other benefits).

I already consulted a kinesiologist. For the Reiki, my wife has been initiated by Shivabaï here in France ten years ago. And she coincidentally is going to meet her again for a weekend in two weeks. She needs a little refreshing with her practice. We'll talk about that. Maybe I could be initiated to.

 

[RedFox]

I would second the dietary connection.

Moreover, I drink essentially osmosed water now. I almost never took antibiotics. I tried not to eat gluten nor cheese during one month and a half at the beginning of this year but nothing changed. I've been vegetarian during seven years but since three years I eat again meat and fish with long period without soy.

The damage from these can take 6 month to a year to heal, especially if you are not consuming enough resources (fat) for your body to heal.

Gluten-Free Diet May Lift the 'Fog' of Celiac Patients, Study Says
Scores on attention, memory tests improved after one year

Gluten-Free Diet May Lift the 'Fog' of Celiac Patients, Study Says
By Maureen Salamon
HealthDay Reporter

THURSDAY, June 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The "brain fog" experienced by many celiac disease patients seems to improve as their intestines heal after adopting a gluten-free diet, a small new study suggests.

Australian scientists found that banishing gluten -- a protein found in wheat, barley and rye that causes intestinal inflammation in those with celiac disease -- led to better scores in attention, memory and other brain functions over the course of a year.

Experts cautioned, however, that those without celiac disease who choose to go gluten-free -- a current diet trend -- can't expect clearer thinking to result. While more research is needed, they said, it appears that systemic inflammation common to celiac patients consuming gluten is to blame for subtle thinking problems, not gluten itself.

"Maintaining a gluten-free diet is essential not only for [celiac patients'] physical well-being, but for mental well-being also," said study author Dr. Greg Yelland, an adjunct senior lecturer in gastroenterology at Monash University in Clayton. "Given the extent of anecdotal data, we would have been surprised not to have found evidence of minor cognitive [brain] impairment in untreated celiac disease patients."

The study appears in the July issue of the journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

An inherited autoimmune disorder affecting about one in 133 Americans, celiac disease damages the small intestine and interferes with nutrient absorption when gluten is consumed. An estimated 83 percent of those with the disorder are either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with another problem, according to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness.

Yelland and his colleagues administered tests measuring memory, visual-spatial ability, attention, information processing and motor function in 11 newly diagnosed celiac patients. Blood tests gauging antibodies to gluten also tracked the condition of participants' small intestines, and medical procedures (endoscopies and biopsies) evaluated celiac-specific damage to the small bowel.

Over 12 months, all participants closely followed a gluten-free diet. As researchers observed improvements in patients' intestinal damage and gluten antibody levels, they also noted statistically significant improvements in tests assessing verbal fluency, attention and motor function.

Yelland noted that the phenomenon of "brain fog" is also reported by chemotherapy patients, pregnant and breast-feeding women, and those with fibromyalgia.

"This study has shown that 'brain fog' does exist in untreated celiac disease," Yelland said. "The mechanism for the cognitive impairments associated with 'brain fog' are as yet unknown . . . [but] it would seem unlikely that it specifically involves the ingestion of gluten, but rather some underlying factor such as systemic inflammation."

Dr. Eamonn Quigley, medical director of Houston Methodist Hospital's Center for Digestive Disorders, called the new research "probably one of the best studies that has looked at impaired cognitive function in celiac disease."

He agreed with Yelland that patients with many health issues use the term to describe "just not being on top of their game."

"My interpretation [of the study results] is that whatever defect in the intestine is allowing this brain fog to develop is being resolved" by not eating gluten-containing foods, said Quigley, who wasn't involved in the research.

Dr. Peter Green, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, said research on gluten is still "nascent," with scientists only recently beginning to tease out its effects in those with and without celiac disease.

Eating wheat may not be beneficial to your health. Among many other reasons, each grain contains about one microgram of Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA). Even in small quantities, WGA can have profoundly adverse effects. It may be pro-inflammatory, immunotoxic, cardiotoxic ... and neurotoxic.

According to an article on Green Med Info:

"WGA can pass through the blood brain barrier (BBB) through a process called 'adsorptive endocytosis' ... WGA may attach to the protective coating on the nerves known as the myelin sheathand is capable of inhibiting nerve growth factor which is important for the growth, maintenance, and survival of certain target neurons. WGA binds to N-Acetylglucosamine which is believed to function as an atypical neurotransmitter functioning in nocioceptive (pain) pathways."

Most people believe that grains are a wholesome part of a healthy diet, particularly whole grains, such as whole wheat. Whole grains are also one of the relatively few foods that are allowed to make health claims on their labels, relating whole grains with a reduced risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

Unfortunately, there's a large body of evidence indicating that whole grains, and whole wheat in particular (yes even organic), can contribute to significant health problems—both physical and mental. This evidence, however, has not registered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—the first two of which developed the dietary guideline to consume three or more ounces of whole grain products per day.

When you begin to review the evidence stacked up against whole grains, it becomes rather self-evident that our reliance on wheat and other grains may be one of the primary culprits for the poor health of so many.

Here, my primary focus will be on the mental health impacts of wheat, but for even more information about why wheat isn't the health food you've been lead to believe, please review the two articles referenced above, and the long list of related studies.

I've been vegetarian during seven years but since three years I eat again meat and fish with long period without soy.

If your nervous system has been damaged over 20 years and you where veterinarian for a period of time then it's likely you are deficient in the things needed to repair the damage.
The ketogenic diet (high fat, moderate protein, low/no carbohydrates) would probably help immensely - the nervous system is composed almost entirely from fat.

I agree with Redfox try to balance out your diet and follow the links Redfox linked below. It seems to be the first and best way dealing with personal problems. I don't know if this is the case for you, but maybe also some more patience is needed in this process, since you saw already many doctors and practitioners. But I do also understand you when something is bugging you and it is not going away and trying to find a solution or a way to heal.

 

[Heaalih]

Thanks for caring.

I will finish the posturology therapy (glasses, osteopathy) and then manage a keto diet for a longer time.

 

[Heaalih]

Hi,
I finally followed the first initiation to Reiki Usui Shiki Ryoho with Shivabaï (really nice :))
It was at the beginning of february so I have been giving Reiki to myself since.
No results so far.

A weird sign happened when I came back home. It was a trip by night of about 300 km. At the middle, near Le Mans (France), I saw a fireball going down during 2 seconds just in front of me. I was reading CatHoM at that time. I though about this group and all the work very strongly...
It was a strong week-end because the friday before I learnt that I was hired for a new job. (I had been fired in october for economics reason)

I think I will follow the second initiation to go further. Knowing that my glasses didn't changed a thing.
I think resolving that problem and have then a clear mind is maybe a key to my "path". I'm still looking for it, beside my "duties" with my sweet family...

 

[Heaalih]

Some news...
I stopped eating carbs since three months.
I added taking since two months four drops of lugol 12% each morning, two grams of vitamine C during the day and one pill of selenium before night.
But nothing changed. I reintroduce carbs because it's a diet a bit complicated daily (with my family, at work...)
I'm looking for some clues so that I can fully think again :( I let you know for sure when I will get rid of that.

 

[Nico]

I'm reading Dr Brownstein's book and it says taking B2 and B3 to help oxidizing iodine, do you take these ?

I also eat some carbohydrate under form of sweet potatoes, chocolate, berries, and some fruit. Avoiding potent inflammatory substances is the key, but carbohydrate is not to completely eliminate.

 

[RedFox]

What does your diet look like Heaalih? Are you eating enough food?

 

[Meg]

What does your diet look like Heaalih?

I had the same question, Heaalih. Also, three months isn't very long to fully experience the beneficial effects of the ketogenic diet. It takes quite some time to repair the damage done by high carb diets. Be patient with yourself and your body and just try to keep the carb intake really low. :)

Have you taken any days off of the iodine since you started two months ago ? Have you noticed any changes, positive or negative, since you started taking it? Other than iodine, selenium and vitamin C, are you taking any other supplements?

 

[Heaalih]

Hello, thank you.
Indeed, I hink I eat enough food, if the question is about the quantity.
About the quality, I ate vegetarian during 7 years. And I started eating again meat and fish 4 years ago. But I started to have my brain in this cloud years before being vegetarian.
I usually eat organic essentially, since I was kid. I did some detoxification some years ago (with chlorella, or twice I did a week of fasting and hiking - jeûne et randonnée) I used to be carefull enough of what I eat.
For vitamins I also take regularly yeast - levure de bière (sorry in french).

For more details on how I took my iodine. And since I stopped a week ago, I noticed no difference. Slowly, I still think I will find a clue in a near or far future.
