More MS Story

This is a sort of an “edit” to the previous post. Did I say “brain drain”? Must have been foggy and drained and whatever lack of brain function you can think of. I forgot one of the most important things that I have done for my overall health, recently.

In my readings, the topic of candida overgrowth was always being talked about. The claim was that a great percentage of MS patients have this going on. I just couldn’t see it for myself. Didn’t want to see it, is the real reason. I couldn’t consistently flunk the “spit” test (Type in candida spit test in google ) and my symptoms didn’t consistently fit the list. Then I read a report that if you awake in the middle of the night with a blast furnace in your solar plexus, this is an indication that you have a candida overgrowth. This “furnace” happens in both men and women, so it is not hormonal. Also, if a person has chronic sinusitis, needing a tissue at the ready all day long, this could be another indication. Those two things made me take a closer look. So yes, I started reading some more. I read that the “nasties” need to be killed and the colon needs to be repopulated with good bacteria. And no I didn’t go to a Dr. This is my choice. Most people would go to a Dr, but I didn’t. I am, however, fairly pleased with my results. I started by taking probiotics for a month, then, along with the probiotics, I started taking some oil of oregano. (Herbal bug killer) To say that my sinusitis got worse would be a great understatement. I persisted and in 3 months time my sinusitis was greatly improved. The “furnace” was gone around 4 month’s time and I am no longer awakened by it. I continue to take probiotics and probably will for the rest of my life. You can refer to my “ Probiotics blog” written in August of this year. This too is not a cure, but it has greatly enhanced my quality of life.

I also did not write about the extra vitamins and herbs that I take and the B vitamin gene glitch that I have. Too much effort for me to think about all of them and how they have acted in this body or not acted. Just know that I strongly believe in optimal cellular nutrition as a way of staying healthy and supporting all of my body’s functions and immune system. Remember, your immune system is your personal, 24-7, on call physician.

There is more that I could do, but for right now, I don’t have the will to disrupt my family’s life anymore than it has been. This disease didn’t happen to just me. My husband and my family have been so very supportive and loving. I feel very blessed. I wish the same for you.

As Always, Healthy Days to You, Your Maven
