HI Wayne and everyone else. I just signed up today to participate in this discussion! I have been staying in NC for the last two months and had repeated tick incidences (multiple kinds of ticks) and now I have deep bone pains, fevers, nausea, cramping, etc. I took antibiotics for 7 days and then for about 21 but with only temporary amelioration of the symptoms. I have been ill, for the most part, for 17 years but before this particular incident - I was doing really well! I seem to have gotten really sick, really fast, unfortunately.
Anyway, I am interested in talking to Chris, re homeopathy, if he is open to this. I also studied homeopathy for 2 of 4 years in school (not with other subjects - only classical homeopathy) and would be willing to share what I have learned as long as it is understood I am not a practicing homeopath and many things are adapting and changing since I studied 10 years ago. The two years I did covered the philosophy, health and general remedy pictures. The following 2 years were case-taking under supervision but I was too sick to continue and there was no way to practice. I was diagnosed with "sever chronic fatigue" having spent years in bed but this, for the most part, has passed. I still have immunity problems and I am super sensitive to everything after being poisoned by pesticides. One of the root causes of my illness was lead poisoning which was so high - I maxed out the reading. And with this = my organs wouldn't function when I was around toxins. It got really bad. I don't know how I survived really.
Since treatments and lifestyle changes, I have made an incredible recovery. I almost felt normal a few months ago. But now I have this to solve. Ugh.
I still have a passion for homeopathy and believe in it very strongly. I have seen miracles as well as experienced them myself. I have had great remedies that changed me back to who I was in some ways and ones that caused suffering for me (proving them). It is not easy, sometimes, to find the right constitutional and many things may also lead you to believe your constitutional is not your right remedy. Having a good practitioner and patience is the key to homeopathy for chronic problems. For acutes - man they're fast. I have had remedies work instantaneously on issues. Once some one I knew burned himself and I gave him a remedy - don't know why - I usually don't prescribe and only if the issue is not passing out naturally - but the pain stopped within seconds after taking the remedy and it didn't bother him again.
I wanted to mention I am using bentonite clay currently (i muscle tested positive for it) - it seems to be working on some level but I am going to start herbs as soon as I can to arrest the joint damage. The pains are really deep and I can't sleep with I have them. Nothing works. I have to pace when they hit and it lasts for many hours. And my joints are changed after each incident.
I don't want to take to the focus off you, wayne, but I would love to jump into this conversation and perhaps talk to chris if he is open. I will also start reviewing personal remedies for myself but honestly - I prefer to work with someone more objective about me than me
.
Thanks so much and I hope you're doing well.
