When I finally got a referral to a neurologist to start looking into why I was falling over and erratically losing the use of my right side in the fall of 2015, I expected at least an attempt to take a history and some sort of a physical exam. I especially get stuck on specialists […]

A few weeks ago the pocket of scar tissue in my liver I have been worried about tore open (click here for that story). The horse had decided to lift up the pieces of his panel fencing and take it apart so he could go for a little walk. I decided I couldn’t have him […]
In reading other people’s blogs about chronic pain I have noticed I don’t say much about how I feel about mine. Then I realized that is because I find my chronic pain really boring. The words the dictionary uses to define boring include tedious, wearisome, dreary, monotonous, pointless, and mind-numbing, while near synonyms include debilitating, […]
A friend of mine remarked that in the pain scale she learned in her medical training, my level four was her level ten. On her scale, level ten was calibrated as kidney/gall stones, toothache, childbirth, and the like. That made sense to me as once my liver actually starts moving out the lumps of old […]
I was originally prompted to write my pain scale post (click here) by my siblings’ efforts to sustain one of my mother’s more overt patterns of harassment. But what I am finding is that search terms that bring the most new readers and followers to my blog are from the posts on my health, my […]
I have found myself quite literally swelling out of my clothes since 12/21/2012. Feeling as bad as I have ever felt over the last few months seems a strange reaction to the grand shift of consciousness. My pet theory is that saints and buddhas are in fine shape, it is it is the bottom one […]
About ten years ago an enzyme called nattokinase became available to the general public. Nattokinase is a byproduct of the microbes active in fermenting soybeans and it breaks down a protein in the body called fibrin. Among other things, fibrin is a major component of scar tissue. Scarring of my connective tissue was still a […]
A few years after my mercury detox, I began having discomfort in my right eye. When I went to see to optometrist, he said “It looks like your retina is detaching. Usually, this happens because of stress on the eyeball, and I can see the tension in the muscles around the eye. You must do […]
I am not going to name any of my doctors because there could be the one reader out there that is looking to shut alternative practitioners down. I am infinitely grateful to my doctors for saving my life and I profoundly respect their battles against the for profit medical industry, the federal and state licensing […]
An uncle once informed me that I was wasting my time and money with alternative healing because all it did was make me feel better. That the almighty diagnosis had absolutely no beneficial effect on my well-being escaped his notice entirely. I had been diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning within a few years of my […]
