Auto-Immune Disease, Sarcoidosis, Adrenal Fatigue, Low Blood Pressure/Heart disease, Kidney Disease and
Diabetes
Through the Valley of Near Death
This will be another chapter in my direct experience
with health issues and the medical establishment. I have written very briefly about some of
these. I had been “sick” for years and
went to various doctors, none of which did much more than try to treat symptoms. This is why I believe in
the holistic approach to medicine. I know it works.
I struggled with uveitis
for years (an eye disease, that if left untreated, can be painful and dangerous
to the eye). At that time, ophthalmologists had a name for this disease and a
genetic marker but could not or would not tell me what caused it. So I used prednisone eye drops for years and
eventually had cataract surgery. One
doctor put me on a very high dose of oral prednisone and talked to me as if I
were an idiot when he explained to me how to taper off it. He started me out on 40 mg! I felt so awful. I could not drag myself out of bed. I wanted to commit suicide. In the trash it went.
I had terrible problems with my monthly cycle which
eventually kept me from working outside the house. I dreaded the monthly pain and depression. I think I could take the physical pain better
than the emotional pain. One doctor gave me Prozac which at the time was being
touted as a miracle drug. I had such great expectations. Instead, my first and only dose made me shaky,
nervous and sick. I hallucinated
while under its effect. When the doctor
asked why I “thought” I had hallucinated, he said that I had merely experienced a bad reaction. I’ll say it
was! I am not a doctor, just an ignorant
patient – but when I see ceiling fans that are turned off look like they are on,
or stairs moving like an escalator – I call those things, hallucinations.
I experienced extreme blood loss on several occasions during peri-menopause. This can be fatal though I didn't realize it at the time. Any woman
who has experienced severe hemorrhaging will know that I am not exaggerating.. Doctors did not help. I was stoic and persevered until I was
desperate enough to see if yet another doctor might be able to give me
relief. Estrogen was out of the question
since I had gone through the breast cancer treatment scenario which included radiation treatments for 6 weeks. In retrospect, I now believe that I had
calcifications that blocked a duct and formed a lump of backed up fluids.
One doctor gave me progesterone but would not test
my thyroid (the test ranges were too low back then anyway and may still be). Progesterone made me feel miserable, and I could
not get out of bed. I felt heavy like I was trying to move underwater. My body felt like rubber with no bones to support it. After a day or two of that, I quit taking it.
I believe I wrote about the “water blister” on my
body that broke one weekend. Water and
some blood spilled from this blister.
Yes, I was scared, but fear never solves anything. I felt “grit” in this fluid which reminded me
of sand. Curious.
I would later read that this was once referred to as
gravel or sand and is composed of minute particles of calcium and/or oxalic
acid. Guess what? A diet deficient in B6
and magnesium is the underlying cause.
There is more to autoimmune disease, however, and I will write more about that subject.
At that point, I knew that there were oxalate/granulomas/calcifications in my
body. I went to several doctors to see
if one would operate and remove them, i.e. a mastectomy.
They would not consider such an operation, but told me over and over, I
had cancer! They told me I had cancer
without doing a blood test or any other kind of test. What kind of science-based, modern medicine is this?
I decided to remove these sharp
calcification/oxalate formations myself
but my self-operations only went so deep. (Much much later, a battery of proper tests
would show that I did not have cancer – not even in my bone marrow.)
I learned something interesting from my
self-operations that I want to share. Our
lymph system is vital to good health.
There is so much autoimmune disease today because our bodies are
exhausted and unable to process any more heavy metals, toxins and
pathogens. This leads to severe inflammation
and extremely dirty lymph fluid. The liver, spleen and kidneys must eventually eliminate the inflammation, but if there is too much, the body will be diseased.
The first lymph fluid I saw was a yellow-tan color. It smelled like
plastic! It smelled of chemicals! Certainly, doctors must experience this phenomenon daily!
I did not know at the time that we all have some toxins in our body due to our polluted environment. I did not know how damaging processed foods can be to health. Trial and error and first-hand experience have taught me these things and much more.
As I began to
change my diet – I went on a micro diet for a while – and the lymph fluid began
to clear up. It looked like clear
water. I had some relief. I was not out of the valley, though. I still had quite a journey ahead of me. After years of wondering what was wrong with me and my frustration with our health care system, I finally got my diagnosis -- while I
was unconscious (after going code blue) in ICU.
Sarcoidosis, kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes. Finally!
Something I could name and research for myself.
The Climb Back to Health
After two weeks at the hospital, I came home. They had me on IVs of at least a dozen drugs and they gave me more to take by mouth. I am not even sure what they all were. I had survived but I was fatigued and weak for months. I went to hospitals and labs for more tests. I did what my doctors told me to do. I had flu and pneumonia shots. I took statins, heart meds, Procrit shots,
diabetes meds, and went for blood tests 3 times a week, and sometimes I didn’t
think I had the strength to walk the length of the hallway to the lab. Doctors tried several intravenous therapies
on me that to lower my blood calcium but they didn't work.
(It was 15 when I first went into the ICU).
I still did not know and was never told I needed magnesium
and B6, COQ10, probiotics, or antibiotics of any kind. I was in a total state of exhaustion for those
6 months but I was alive.
One of the first places I looked for answers about
sarcoidosis was on the Team Inspire Sarcoidosis group. Rather than find answers, I was more confused
than ever. In truth, what I learned there actually kept me from researching holistic health measures.
The
information on Team Inspire is definitely not for the layperson/patient. I was afraid that natural supplements might further harm my kidneys or make my health conditions worse. Big Pharma encourages this fear. The threat of dialysis was always looming in the background. They say that dialysis is a "life style" change.
However, we have a choice to make our own lifestyle change and it is one for the better. Eat healthy. Exercise. Research. Ask questions and learn.
Into the Light
The bare bones foundation of my poor health? I was extremely magnesium deficient.
I got plenty of sunlight whenever I could because I
love the outdoors. Fortunately, I did
not take calcium supplements, which were being pushed on women constantly by
the media. However, calcium was added to
all kinds of common foods. Is it any
wonder that so many women have sarcoidosis??
I had often “felt” like I had adrenal burnout and my gut
instinct proved right.
I was definitely pre-diabetic and may have been
diabetic for years though no doctor checked me for this. A specialist generally would not do this, I
guess. Nor was I referred to a GP or an
endocrinologist. So I went muddling
along best as I could for many years. Quite frankly,
insurance or not, I was sick of spending my hard earned money on doctors that
were apathetic, uninterested and of no help to me.
But though that door closed, another would be opened
in due course. That is how I
accidentally found the Your Health program with Dr. Richard Becker and his wife, Cindy.
This was a major turning point in my life.
Team Inspire?
Six years later and feeling good, despite the doctors’ inability to answer the many questions I had, I want to point the way to health and
healing to other suffering people. I
went back to Team Inspire to share all I had learned the hard way. I got as far as two posts and had planned to
write so much more. This is the email I
received today at 9:36 am, November 8, 2015.
Hello,
We have removed your post because you mentioned the Marshall Protocol. We have a community rule in place which specifies that the Marshall Protocol, Mr. Marshall, and/or any of his sites, may not be discussed or referenced in the community.

Thank you,
TeamInspire”
Well, I have a blog and I know how to use it so I
will keep posting what I have learned and discovered along the way.
But first, here are some things I found out about
Team Inspire.
The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR)
is a non-profit, EI 36-4378232. You can
read all about them at the link. Not surprisingly,
one of the board members, Craig Lipset, is the head of “Clinical Innovation,
Development Operations within Worldwide Research & Development” at Pfizer. That certainly speaks volumes.
If that wasn't enough, guess who else is closely affiliated with FSR? MichaelRobert Milken.
Milken is a former American financier
and philanthropist. He is noted for his role in the development of the market
for high-yield bonds; for his conviction following a guilty plea on felony
charges for violating U.S. securities laws, and for his charitable giving.
Be sure and look at this page!
Deep Capture
I could research Milken and FSR for a long time and
never dig to the very bottom. I think
the above information is really all we need to know right now. Follow the money. Pray for those who are in bondage to the fear and manipulation of our medical system.
This website offers a great
deal of good information about autoimmune disease. These diseases have reached epidemic
proportions. Big Pharma is profiting off of people's suffering and misery and it HAS to STOP!
