Dearest Ingrid
(I am resending this as a new thread because, computer illiterate as I am, I think I originally posted it in the wrong place. Apologies if this is the second time you are seeing it)
Thank you so much not just for your work but for the very elevated and noble inspiration behind it. Surely you must be receiving the blessings of many many people, myself included.
After decades of strange and persistant spells of poor health,a diagnosis of parasite, infection, food allergens, leaky gut, Hashimoto disease, adrenal burnout etc has been made. The identified parasite is: blastocystis hominis - moderate. The naturopathic doctor I have found has created the following regime: ADP (Product by Bioticsresearch; primarily made of Oregano oil); Paracide Forte (by Orthomolecularproducts; made of Artemesia Annua 175mg, Olive Leaf Extract 110mg, Oregano Leaf Extract 85 mg, Grapefruit Seed Extract 75 mg, and Goldenseal Root 60mg); Articin and Florabiotic 16.
I am 52 years old and have been travelling to India and the middle east since I was 17. Its likely that this problem started that long ago. For the last 25 years I have only used alternative methods to help with a variety of symptoms. All conventional treatments proved always far too harsh. I've learned that I am extremely sensitive to treatments -- I usually end up taking 1/4 the normal adult dose of any remedy -- homeopathic, auyuvedic, chineese, etc -- and body workers work on me like they would with a baby. I've never been able to get very far on any kind of de-tox routine as the side effects were intolerable. I am extremely sensitive energetically, too.
I returned to conventional medicine recently (for all sorts of tests) because as of last July these 'bad spells' have taken over my life and I can hardly function. I was glad to get a clear diagnosis (as far as western medicine goes, that is) of what is wrong with my body. Thanks to this picture, I feel I can now proceed with some deep healing, as opposed to alleviating symptoms temporarily, which is what was probably happening up to now.
I am very motivated to address my condition, but only semi-confident about my doctor (mostly because I don't know him. He was recommended to me by another dr) However, I am very concerned about the potential side efffects of some of these herbs -- the die off, etc. The doctor was very casual about it and I don't think he knows ways of supporting me as I go through it, beyond what he's already perscribed.
What do you think of this regime that this Dr. is proposing? Would you recommend anything else by way of supporting me through the healing crises? I came across your article on Artemesia Annua while researching his treatment plan, and so would be very appreciative of anything you could suggest.
Again, many thanks, in peace and love, shari |
