Q-"I do not mean to be rude *at all*, but I am wondering how it is even possible to take, for months on end, 350 supplements, and 42 injections per week?! To eat four POUNDS of chocolate? Bench press nearly 400lbs? Work 110 hrs per week? (Before illness I worked occasional spurts of 84 hour weeks from a baseline week of 60+ and that was exhausting and demoralising beyond measure. I know we are all different, though.)
I guess the thing I'm trying to say is, there seems to be a theme of "excess' here that is of note not just in your pre-illness life, but in your treatment protocol, and in your lifestyle during recovery. With all respect, I wonder how it is possible to do the things you report, from the sheer volume of treatments to the work schedule just 4 weeks into the GcMAF. Is it prudent to push so hard before (or even soon after) full recovery?"
A-I only included those items since my family and I are different than most people since we possess a very high amount of energy and I think that is important to know in considering me. My father is 76 and works 60 hours a week on his farm in the summer and 45 in the winter. My brother averages 85 hours a week (of course unbelievable but true) He is both the VP of a software design company and has 65 families that rent from him and he and his wife renovate the houses and do the repairs themselves. This is extremely odd but true. We were born with an extremely high amount of energy and a very fast metabolism. Before my illness I ate 5-7 meals a day and worked between 68-76 hours as a yearly average recorded by company's timesheets. My company keeps track of the average every two weeks so I know what my hours are. I had back to back trials and logged 430 for the month which I guess is 10 hours short of 110 a week but pretty close. My husband is 46 years old and benches 390 several times a week before he got sick and exercised 3.5-4.5 miles a day on the treadmill or the eliptical machine. He is also a doctor and a lawyer (unbelievable also). My husband can work a 30 hour shift at the hospital with a 103 fever and has done so before. He has never taken a sick day in the 10 years we have been married. The ONLY reason I included this information is that my husband and I are different from most people so that is information if I were you I would want to know since it is easier for someone who used to average 70+ hours a week to average 50+ then it is for someone who does 40 hours a week to now start doing 50+ hours a week. My husband and I are different, so medically, I think that matters. If this seems impossible, just remember that all people are different, they are on a normal curve and some are at each end and some are in the middle. By the way, I actually walked to the kitchen and counted the candy bars that were left and mulitplied them by the ounces since they were all the same size. I am a person of excess. When I focus on something, I do it exclusively. I did no different with my illness. I have spent over 400 hours researching each doctor and what results their patents were getting, each medicine for interactions and side effects, each new treatment that comes available for results and side effects and feel that I have come up with the best combination of things that work to get me as well as soon as possible along with an enormous amount of gratitude to everyone who has provided information along the way and help and guidance. This doesn't mean that what I do it right for everyone, it just means that I have thought of only one thing since I got sick and that was getting well and every ounce of energy has gone to that. Right or wrong, is a different debate but I love my life and wouldn't trade it for another's life. I like to take something to its extreme and then I feel I have experienced it throughly. My neighbors tell us we need to do differently, I tell them that I do what I enjoy doing and expect them to do the same.
By the way, I am only on my third treatment of GcMAF and was already working full time for 5 months before I started it. Dr. Sharp recommended that I start work 4 weeks after his treatment but I started much earlier which I regretted. For the first week it was 4 hour and the second it was 6 hours but the third was 55 hours and since then I range between 45-60 depending on what is going on. Yes. It is very hard. This year has been the hardest of my life. Even taking these treatments are hard to juggle with full time work but I just do it since I feel I have to. I spend two hours a day taking shots and medicine and 10 hours sleeping and an hour getting ready for work and 10 hours to go to work, work and come back and one hour with my husband in the evening. I was also lucky that my husband had the same illness 4 months before I did after getting the swine flu and that my brother and sister in law caught the swine flu a week before I did and had the same illness thereafter and that my husband knew enough to tell me to stay away from normal doctors other than testing to rule out other illnesses. I went to a specialist first that specialized in chronic fatigue after the tests were run ruling out everything else. I do not post this information because I want to post it. The opposite is true. I have never posted anything on-line and never have chatted until I started to get well and started posting that following Dr. Cheney and Dr. Sharp got me well since I wanted to help others. I hate sharing personal information with others I do not know but force myself to give details to help others.
