"Take an Advil."
Ask any of our kids. If they had any twinge, tingle, pain, my standard response was "take an Advil". It was more of a "geez, I birthed a 7 pound baby through a tiny hole, and you're complaining about a pain in your big toe" type of response, but all the same. Kids still tease me about that.
Now my response is, "see a Chiropractor". If you ever posted something on your page where you were in pain, sinus, allergies, back hurts, pooping problems - my post to you has been "See a chiropractor."
So, you have acid reflux. You take an antacid. Wrong! Did you know you need the acids in your stomach to help digest the food? Without those acids, the food could rot, ferment, putrify, and you would end up with a worse case of possibly stomach or colon cancer. Much more involved than that, but you get the point. There are whole food supplements that are all natural that will aid in your acid reflux - must healthier in the short AND long term.
So, let's look at colitis, chrone's disease, IBS. These are all things going on in your intestine and colon. You go to the doctor, and they prescribe a medication. You take the medication, you feel better, you're done. Is it cured? No. Are you healed? No.
The only way to heal yourself is to stop putting the junk in your body.
What's going on is this: You eat processed junk, such as breads, sugar, flour, "new and improved" wheat. It travels down, hits the stomach. From there, it digests, and travels out. Along the path of 6 feet of bundled colon, it could hit a speed bump. No worries, because only a teensy bit gets stuck there. More processed food, more junk. Travels along, hits the same speed bump. Now the teensy is tiny. More processed food, gets stuck in the same spot. Tiny becomes small. Small becomes large. So now you have a large speed bump in there. How are you going to get rid of it? Simple. Your leaky gut will fix the problem.
Wikipedia version: Leaky gut is a name used to describe intestinal or bowel hyperpermeability. Tight junctions (TJs) represent the major barrier within the pathway between intestinal epithelial cells that line the digestion tract. Disruption of TJs leads to intestinal hyperpermeability (the so-called "leaky gut") which has been proposed by some researchers to involve a relationship with acute and chronic diseases such as systemic inflammatory response syndrom (SIRS), inflammatory bowel disease, Type 1 diabetes, Allegies, Asthma and Autism.
Once the gut leaks, there are three places it will go - the joints, the muscles or the organs. Damage to two of the three will cause consistent and compound pain. Damage to the third will probably cause death.
Yes, we can't live in a plastic bubble. There are some things that just can't be controlled. I still need to breath the air. I still feel that even though I buy some organic, there's no way to tell if it's 100% organic. I mean, we still have rain coming down, that travels through the air that's filled with toxins.
And how does this relate to my Breast Cancer? Well, it's all part and parcel. Again, by healing myself from within, I'm fighting mutant cells. I'm helping my good guys beat back the bad guys. Have I turned away completely from my doctor? No, I have not. I am still in the learning mode.
The next couple of days are going to get interesting - you don't want to miss it. Especially when I meet with Dr. P...
Stay tuned - more to follow.
