Three weeks ago I went to a healer and Natropath(SP?) of some note in the Detroit area. She’s about 82 and nearly a saint as far as I can tell. She believes in healing through food, which is a welcome perspective as I’ve asked repeatedly for dietary advice from the medical community and found no solid ground to walk on there. She took a urine sample and a saliva sample and hooked me up to a biofeedback machine for a few hours and we set me up on pure organic supplements that are designed to correct any deficiencies she distinguished. A week later I went on vacation so I am feeling stronger and exercising more but I wonder if it’s just the vacation talking…at any rate I have corrected 2 glaring things she pointed out.
1) I’m anemic
2) My sugars were really high as I’d gotten sloppy with my diet.
About May it got much more difficult to chew and swallow solid foods so I went to more soft foods. Coincidentally, it became dangerous for me to cook for myself as I cannot lift the pans anymore and I was concerned with maintaining weight so I MADE UP that the calories were inconsequential, which of course they never are…this lead to all sorts of dietary mischief: Ice cream for dinner, a conventient Smart Ones Lasagna for lunch etc. 2 months later I had to pee all the time and my sugar numbers were borderline diabetic! JEEZ O PEEZ! STOP CHANGE START.
SO now while it’s a struggle to get enough water, I believe we’ve interrupted the sugar blues, through avoiding simple carbs and eating more protien through eggs and fish and upped the fiber with raw fruits. I feel stronger from the supplements for iron, and strangely supported by the rigors of the regimine I’m on. It forces me to stop and nourish myself (albiet in a sloppy way-through my peg tube) four times a day which I’ve combined with a micro meditation for healing my cells. I feel I’m getting the nutritional balance restored and while on vacation I’ve enrolled my family in fixing high protien high fiber versions of soft foods for me to eat. Barilla Pasta ( 9g’s of protien and 6-7g’s of fiber) and some beans and rice recipies get me grooving now.
I also see a vita mix in my future…
