At the time of
publication, it will have been 11 years since my total physical collapse. ELEVEN!?!?!?!? How can it be ELEVEN YEARS?!!?!?!? Where did the time go????
Those eleven years
have been quite the roller-coaster ride with many steps forward, and almost as
many steps back. I’ve been on the brink
of death 3 times, and in the past 3 years finally was able to take my foot out
of the grave and move forward.
They have been very
frustrating years as we tried almost everything under the sun to figure out
what was causing my health challenges. I
had to stop eating so many different foods, only to find out it was the tap
water, not the food that was the issue.
Finding out about
the tap water - and getting a reverse osmosis unit - dealt with a good 90% of
my health challenges, but then I had the l-o-n-g road of getting a lifetime’s
worth of toxins out of my body. Thankfully,
it’s an easier process when you aren’t adding a ridiculous amount daily.
But, that has left
us with a baffling 10% that we still can’t figure out. Is my body still just getting rid of
toxins? Is there another trigger we
haven’t discovered yet? Is it the
weather? Stress? What??!?!
Whatever that 10%
is, it is still knocking me down more days than I am up in a month, which makes
for a challenging life.
On the other hand,
I had my blood checked last month and the results were a DRAMACTIC improvement
from when I was last checked in December!!!!
While I’m still frustrated that I can’t do what I want when I want
because I feel so sick, I was thrilled to find out that my body IS still
healing and getting better.
Until something
reveals itself as the answer we are looking for, I will just continue to smile
and breathe. Inhale…...exhale…………………...
