We are Survivors

[jonsi]

Many of us are survivors of "Morgellons", and we are living a healthy and happy life now.

I hope I can encourage everyone to work through this disease. Reach out and ask questions, send a personal message, share phone numbers and talk to each other!

For me, it was the belief I would get through the nightmare. Once I reached that point it was inevitable I would get through it.

There is so much good advice on this site. I won't dispute that there is a need for pharmaceutical meds if your Medical Doctor (MD) tests you and says that the drug is going to treat you for an infection.

I never saw a MD and never took a pharmaceutical med to treat my "Morgellons".

Again, belief that we can work through this is the key.

Please pay attention to the food you eat. Preservatives are food for the "M".

Good morning!
I just started juicing organic vegetables and fruits. I am going slow, as this process is new to me. I am juicing carrots, beets, ect. Switching around as to not drink too much of one fruit or veggie.
I eat organic cereal in the morning with blueberries or strawberries, followed by an excellent multi vitamin.
I also throw some flax seed on my cereal if it is not included.
I drink a lot of water, something I never did before.
This is my medicine now.

What's with the preservative statement?What evidence do you have to substantiate this claim? Janice,I'm with you on the subject of organic juices,especially the organic carrots from Cali.One suggestion,sauerkraut and beet root to help with the gut being scraped from the inside.

Janice you may want to also get some Keifer, you can get it at your health food store. The reason you will use Keifer is the bacteria are LIVE and ACTIVE not just active. I know what live means what does active mean, LOL.

Beets are a super food along with brocolli, broccolli is not as tasty as beet juice.

There are other foods you can add that have immence power inside the body, but need a special juicer as the wind from the spinning tray inside will oxidize the food so quickly you get nothing from it, spinich is one such food.

I use the blender much more that the juicer as it is easier to do and also carries alot of fiber to scrape the colon clean, the juicer has a long cleanup time. Most times things that take lots of time are left by the wayside.

Here is a couple of superfoods lists that leave out one of the best fruits on the planet, PINEAPPLE, it is full of enzymes that help in digestion of all these other foods.

If your colon is on its way out and your stomach acid and good bacteria is low thats when you find alot of candida.

I am going out today and get all of my ingrediants, from reading these lists I may add Kiwi if I can find it.

I also use LIVE seeds, nuts, keifer and lots and lots of different grains in my blender food. I think I will also buy some Quinoa today, well I am going to do some good for me today and get back also on my running.

I think I will also start to add raw eggs to the mixture just so I get protein.

My normal wonderful breakfast drink will take me a few minutes to prepare, the ingrediants will be, Lots of seeds, nuts, grains, flax seeds, PINEAPPLE, bananna, strawberries, usually frozen, add the wonderful flavor, Keifer or yogurt with LIVE and active cultures, I will now add a egg.

Then I use juice to make the mixture drinkable this will have your colon so regular that you can set the world clock by it.

If you go for a colonostopy the doctor will have a picture up on his wall later of the cleanest exast tube in the world. thats right. LOL. The fellow that did mine was like, I have never seen a colon with nothing inside it at all before, LOL.

Belief alone will not cure M for many and to imply that it will could set a lot of folks up for a major disappointment. This disease effects all of us differently. Some have even been known to contract advanced cancer from M and have died, but I do not think that happened because they did not try to get well and or had a sour out look on life or had no belief they could get well. So while I believe maintaining a positive outlook is one way to approach healing, it does not necessarily mean that everyone will be able to cure all their symptoms by eating right and smiling a lot and declaring they will get well or get through it healed of all M symptoms. Healing takes place at many levels and a symptom-free and overt cure is sometimes not a part of that healing (just read Sue Law's posts on LB to understand this). There are many with active M symptoms who do have a good outlook on life and a great sense of humor too and a hope for improved health and/or a cure but who still have many symptoms.

I know that you are trying to be positive in your own way, and trying to not set up people for a dissapiontment, but I don't think you believe in the power of nutrition and whole foods. They are amazingly healing if one sticks to it, and yes a positive attitude helps, but nature has given us a gift to heal.

Please let people find their own way, and not throw a wet blanket on their hopes.

This healing by nutrition is so much better than the drugs that so many have tried. We are killing our selves with some crazy stuff trying to find a cure for this horrendous disease.
We need to settle down and get our bodies in the best shape we can possibly be to fight, to stay in the game, until we know exactly what we are dealing with.

It is by NO means a FACT that any one has died from this, painful yes, depressing yes, but it is by no means fatal. Nor is it a fact that this proceeds to cancer. So please don't scare people with unnecessary drama. Sorry I just had to clear the air on this one item.

Whether or not you want to accept the fact that sometimes having parasites and other diseases can lead to cancer in some people who have M symptoms is up to you. I think there are many who would disagree with your statement that M has never led to the death of M patients from other diseases. Try reading about what is happening to the dolphins in the oceans as they are showing many of the same symptoms and diseases, like lesions and cancer and herpes, that we do. They also live in some of the same coastal areas where many who have M live. There appears to be some connection between M symptoms and the environment. I am not saying everyone will get cancer and/or die from M symptoms, but only pointing out the possibility of that and the probability we have seen such deaths already.

Not everyone can afford organic foods and even those are suspect these days as far as GMO exposure and having additional parasites on them due to the types of insect controls used on them (we are hearing more warnings lately about parasites on vegetables and fruit). This disease creates additional dampness in the body and frequently dampness leads to other serious diseases of one sort or another which is why some with M have also tested for other infections and sometimes even for some known parasite diseases. This is not to say that good nutrition is unimportant or could not achieve a cure in some with M symptoms, but it would take a very strong immune system to achieve this on diet alone as whatever this parasite and/or disease is does not appear to be impressed by good nutrition alone and seems to take advantage of some genetic flaw in the host to proliferate.

Your assumption that there is one diet which will help all people is not close to true. That's why some people get sicker on some of the raw food diets that some preach will bring good health to all, but for some that's the very way to get sicker if dampness is already a problem to the body. Forgive me if I am a downer to your latest theory, but on this forum usually such discussions are started for a reason. Some of us recognize what is really going on here which is why I caution folks not to believe that juicing or blending alone will solve all their M symptoms. To say otherwise IMO is to set many people up for further disappointment when promises do not materialize for all who buy into it.
