Yes, there is defininately some kind of healing crisis at least there was for me before I ever heard of Dr. Morse. It happened more than once. Feeling quite good but tons of mucus coming out for example and spending a lot of time in the bathroom and then feeling great.
All that fruit goes against anything I have ever learned though. Sugar is sugar and fruit has a lot. I have been told to have an apple or orange or what ever I wish but not to have the fruit juice. The first CFS doc that I saw did not allow sugar of any kind. A glass of orange juice would probably be the same as four oranges. We have all heard that sugar feeds cancer.
I never had trouble with swollen glands or sore throats. I do think that not enough attention is paid to the lymph system. I did have a lot of sinus infections. I have not had one in 3 years.
I have been on Rich's methylation protocol over two years now. I started before I was tested because the lab was moving and I don't know what all was going on with them 4 blood draws total before the test. They admitted losing it once.. I was tested when it reopened so I am due to have it again. They paid for it after all the mess. I think I will give it one more month. I have good improvement but not sure why or is it all I do. I can say that Imunivor and Equilbrant put those virses back in their places. I do not feel like I have the flu anymore, just that was a big improvement. There still is work to do, still have leg pain but at times it leaves, it was my first and always worst symptom. The BIG problem is sleep, I do not stay asleep. I have had several sleep studies. The first was normal, the next borderline and now mild. Nothing has worked. I may try Rozaren, see my doc here this month. Dr. Klimas suggested that and Melatonin. Melatonin does nothing. I cannot take any of the tricyclics so that cuts out a lot. Does anyone have any ideas about that?
POTS is under control, no one ever got that but Dr. Klimas gave me a tilt table and there it was. I did not faint but really felt terrible. I stay hydraded, drink and electolyte drink and have 0.2 beta blocker patch. My bp is very good now except in any doctor's office. LOL
Morse is interesing that is for sure. He has a lot of good points.
I do think that acidity plays a big part as he does. I work on that all the time. I know at my sickest I was very, very toxic. In fact the diagnosis was autointoxification and oxidative stress. I saw my cells with a Bradford microscope, they were misshapen, wonder how they look now. I was in Majid Ali's office at 1:00 AM looking at them, he threw them up on a screen. I was astounded.
This is my full time job, much like taking care of an old car with something always wrong.
I will post when I have my testing for methylation or put them on to compare.
I think I will not be as afraid of fruit. I do take Juice Plus and it has 17 fruits and vegetables to fill in any gaps.
