Journazza

I feel that it is time to add some news. Whilst googling and searching for information on healing fibroids I have been overwhelmed. The advice on what to eat and what not to eat is conflicting. I do believe the diet has an effect on our health, but I am trying to take one step at a time and listening to the body. The most important thing seems to forget about the “must dos” and concentrate on living every moment fully. I hope that reducing stress and increasing joy in my life will help healing and shrink the fibroid. I still have some way to go before I see it as a blessing, but in some way I’m already grateful to it.

I hope my experiences can help others. What is helping beyond any doubt, is homeopathy. I wasn’t sure whether it would work and was sceptical, but its effect is so immediate it’s nothing but amazing. And the fact that I can go longer between the treatments proves that. However, some of the side effects have returned since I quit acupuncture. So, I have decided to complement foot zone therapy with acupuncture. At least I feel more energetic now than I did in November. That doesn’t mean I’m as energetic as my friends. On a recent trip, I realized I need more sleep, more time to just chill and watch the ocean, and that I have less energy than my friend who came with me. I guess that just gives me reason to continue going to the gym, continuing my quest to find the right diet. More so, it is a quest to stop eating the foods I know I shouldn’t. Why that is so difficult, I do not know! But I’m determined to do make it. In the meantime, I hope yoga will help and spend some time in the outdoors, enjoying nature.

So far I have noticed reducing caffeine helps. I’m trying to cut back on yeast and sugar, as well as processed foods….. And I’m taking milk thistle, although I can’t say I’ve noticed something yet. Then some say apple vinegar cider helps. So I might give that a go as well. But more so, I came over a book by Gillian Bowles, which I have some faith in, because I am a fan of Louise Hays.

As usual, I’m not satisfied with Western medicine. After having been given contradictory news from various doctors and no advice. Yes, you read it correctly. No advice. Just questions. And then nothing. – No, we can’t tell you why you have it. Yes, it can increase, and first no, then yes it can shrink, but we don’t know how. Come back in six months.

When you are told that you have a benign tumour somewhere inside you (you first are grateful for the fact that it is benign), but when you hear the size – equals a pregnancy’s of week 16, you nearly faint and wonder how on earth it got there without you noticing it.Why did you need to compare it to pregnancy, ms. GP, I wonder though? Was that really necessary?

According to various books and websites, a huge amount of women get fibroids. So, then, why don’t we know anything? A quick google-search tells me it is related to too much estrogen. Which leads me to, should not the doctors be interested in what I eat? More so, shouldn’t they be able to recommend a diet? The last GP I spoke to, said – despite other sources stating the opposite, that acupuncture has no effect. Right, why did I feel that it reduced my pain? More so, why didn’t that interest the doctor? Because it hadn’t been published. Now, how does stuff get published?

No, go and talk to someone else, is what I was told when I asked about alternative methods. I said, I don’t care if it has been published, I want to know what can help me. I don’t want to venture into the alternative jungle, I’d actually like to do it in collaboration with the doctors. Wouldn’t that actually be an advantage for the doctors if we could experiment? Isn’t that better than doing nothing?

I have actually found something that does help: homeopathy. And next time I see that doctor, I will be prepared and I will not give in before I get a collaboration going.. But most of all I wonder, how many patients believe their doctors when they say nothing helps and that acupuncture definitely does not help? That is what I am most worried about, because the power of our thoughts is amazing, and should be celebrated rather than limited.

Recently the Norwegian Minister of Health, Bjarne Håkon Hanssen, announced that he had called the so-called miracle man from Snåsa.
Immediately the media exploded with stories, and started criticising Hanssen. It didn’t think Hanssen should say such things when he is head of the Ministry for Health Services. The Norwegian national association for GPs was particularly sceptical and harsh in its comments in tv debates. They claim that despite the fact that healing can work, they say, it will only work in nine out of ten cases, and they have the proof. Therefore, one should not give people false hopes.

I’m sorry. Did they not learn anything about Hippocrates, the founder of medical science, the and Hipocrates Oath? ,

I swear by Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath. To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art. I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts. I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art. In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.

How can they reject something which may work, and which is proven to work? We have an amazing brain, and a power to heal ourselves. However, you have to believe it can happen. And that has nothing to do with religion. The Snåsa-man said he doesn’t know how he heals people, but he does heal people. It is the power of positive thinking and love that heals. I feel sorry for the doctors, and I get frustrated and annoyed when they lie to their patients. Most of all, I loose faith and respect for them. As a patient, I want to know all possible treatments, no matter how obscure they are. I believe surgery indeed is the last option, and if you treat the body only, you have only treated the symptom and not the cause, which may be in your brain. So please doctors, can you not open your mind and realize that we are holistic beings and that the mind and body is connected? Thanks….
