Things that make you go hmmmm

Took another test on Saturday and it was negative. My husband said he “had a feeling” so I felt extra bad when all I saw was one solid line on the test when I so desperately wanted to see two. I know in my head though that my body isn’t ready. I am just starting to allow it to heal so it is really unfair of me to expect the test to already turn out positive. I re-scheduled my colon hydrotherapy (colonic) for this Thursday. The practitioner or “therapist” also has Celiacs and has an amazing story on how she has healed herself. She spent 30 minutes with me on the phone explaining the cleansing process and the pressure points she does during the cleanse. She also explained the being healthy isn’t a diet you go on and then are off of after a month, it is a lifestyle change. Not that I already knew that but as soon as she said this, I kind of did a hard gulp. This is a sacrifice and one that not many people in today’s society are willing to make but as the therapist said we are constantly surrounded by poison and it is important to try and keep as much out of our system as possible (I sound crazy don’t I?). I am very excited and nervous to go on Thursday but if I can do this, I figure child birth will be a snap. I know I am not pushing a child out but it is pretty humiliating to electively do this…at least for me. I found this therapist off a website recommended in “Crazy Sexy Cancer.” The website has a lot of helpful and interesting information on the colon and how it affects our overall health. The statement I liked most on the website was “your body has within itself, the power of self-healing.” There is also a paragraph explaining what causes yeast infections “Due to various factors, including antibiotic over-use, lack of dietary fiber and a compromised digestive/elimination system... An overgrowth of yeast and fungus can occur. Left untreated, this condition can worsen and cause a myriad of difficult health problems and disease symptoms.” Hmmm…and this is a common condition for women. Perhaps we should start paying more attention to the signals our bodies are giving us and not just run to the drug store for the quick fix in a box. I am guilty of it too. Whenever I have had a yeast infection I head straight to the nearest drug store and purchase the kit in a box or go to emergency care and get an antibiotic. Never in a million years did I consider the fact that the infection was my body telling me something else was wrong. The website also discusses the need for liver cleanses. “Have you been feeling tired, listless and constantly run-down? Noticed unexplained weight-gains or bloating — even though you haven't really changed your eating habits? Maybe it's time to cleanse your liver! The liver is a crucial organ to purify your blood and for the distribution of vital nutrients. It works to purge toxins from our bodies, but sometimes it may need help regenerating cells and tissues.” …and here I thought my food baby was caused by what I was eating to much?? Here is the website http://www.colonhealth.net/. I was cleaning this weekend and came across a book my mom had given me right around the time of my diagnosis “Dangerous Grains.” I haven’t had a chance to ready much but I am dying to dive into one of the chapters I read just a little on. I just happened to flip through it as I was organizing my books and read that “68% of Celiacs patients have tested positive for antibodies that attack their organs and tissues.” Intrigued, I read on….”most of the patients are able to stop the production of more antibodies by taking Gluten out of their diets and their bodies are actually able to heal.” This caused me to take one of my recipe cards and mark the page so that I could return to it when I had some time. I have been thinking about that page ever since and have a date with it this evening as soon as the hubby goes to bed. After reading this page I started thinking…and you know that is dangerous. What if all my fertility problems and others' fertility problems are being caused by eating harmful things? And what if I am going to be able to heal my body and get all systems back up and running? This thought helped me sleep easy last night. After all the colon website said “... You can become well again!But first you must identify the root-cause of your ill-health...”
