Derek 11/25/2014 3:25:10 PM MST edit upload | Hello everybody! I am still alive, now 8 years since first developing symptoms. It's time for me to do another post. I'm back in my home state of WI where it is already looking like Christmas. My mom is happy I'm back although she has no clue how sick I truly am. It is nice to have her nearby though as I no longer feel so isolated. Since I'm not working right now, I'm also taking a class online to get additional certification so when I return to my career, I'll be able to offer more to employers. I'm trying to make lemonade out of lemons... I've made some progress since the last post in August, but even bigger progress if I compare to further back in time like a year ago. In my opening posts a year ago, I talked about having uncontrollable anxiety and the need for xanax just to function. I no longer use any pharmaceuticals as I no longer have anxiety or severe pain! I still get some pain from stinging and muscle aches, but it is now tolerable. I no longer hyperventilate from lack of oxygen or acidosis like I did only 4 months ago. I do get a slight shortness of breath though a few mornings each week so I know there is still quite a bit of infection there. I gage my progress more on how I breathe, think, and energy level, rather than on skin symptoms as the skin symptoms are always there and hard to really measure and remember what they were like a year ago. If I try to remember, I would say the skin symptoms were more severe a year ago as I was ready to end my life>(I felt so alone, and now I am no longer thinking that way. I can also say that I purge MUCH LESS than I did even 2 months ago under the same conditions. I would conclude that there are fewer and fewer fibers in the body over time as I have worked hard at removing them for the past 4 months using oils and heat. I don't get any big stuff coming out anymore. But, since I still have crawling and stinging and brain fog, I know there is a lot left in the body, but probably much deeper than right below the skin. I look forward to the day where I cannot get anything out of the body and the skin symptoms totally disappear. Considering how sick I was last year when I relapsed in what seemed like overnight, I'll accept the progress I've made over the past year. When the disease is more disseminated, it does take longer to recover and there is less room for error, especially with diet. My diet has been good but not perfect over the past 3 months, but I'm in the best physical shape of my life, with bodyfat in the single digits and at my maximum lifetime strength. The root cause of the few dietary slip-ups was consuming insufficient dietary fat while eating so few carbs. We don't slip up on our diets because we choose to (because we all hate Morgellons more than anything), we slip up because our body is telling us we are lacking fuel to function, and it needs that fuel (sugar). Then, we give in to our body's cravings by giving it sugar. I have a solution to this though. To eliminate the cravings, the answer is to switch your body over from being a sugar burner to a fat burner by eliminating carbs as much as possible and eating more fat. IF ANY OF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CONTROL YOUR CARB CRAVINGS, INCREASE THE FAT IN YOUR DIET AND REDUCE YOUR DAILY CARB INTAKE TO LESS THAN 30 GRAMS A DAY. ONCE YOUR BODY BECOMES ADAPTED TO USING FAT AND KETONES FOR FUEL, YOUR HUNGER AND CARB CRAVINGS WILL GO AWAY AS YOUR BODYFAT IS AN UNLIMITED FUEL SOURCE FOR THE BODY. This takes about 3 weeks though for your body to adapt. And remember, to stay alkaline by eating lots of veggies and herbs, drinking lemon water, and consuming a reasonable amount of protein to maintain your muscle mass, but not too much where you become acidic. There are sites where you can estimate your daily protein needs so I won't get into that here. I look forward to reading your posts, and STAY IN THE FIGHT. You will beat this. Derek |
Peter 8/13/2014 7:52:41 PM MST edit upload | Hello Derek In reading your post, I kept having one presiding thought. While clearing detox pathways is central to overcoming Morgellons, it is not necessary for people to use far infrared saunas to get well, and far infra red therapy is not part of the protocol. I would not want anyone who is sick to decide not to use the protocol because they cannot afford something like this or because they believe it is necessary to get well. It is not. In my experience, right now, you are at that critical point where you succeed or you fail. The disease does not compromise. It only responds to the consistent application of responsible behaviors over time. This, and only this, is what brings about the cure. You must set your mind and keep it set on simple, strict adherence to the protocol by letting what you have learned become your bottom line motivator. Sometimes, when God wants to get us rooted, he hits rock. That’s when he has to blast us to get through. This is often the case for people afflicted with Morgellons. Once stabilized on the protocol, they lose sight of the infection that is still looming inside. Then, a massive expression of symptoms arrives and sheds new light on their predicament. This is when they come to understand that to step off into certain old behaviors will not fare well. This is when they accept that consistent behaviors over time brings the cure. With patience, you can come to see the daily small steps turn into giant leaps. As you build commitment, you can learn, through becoming challenged , how to fully dedicate to proven behaviors. "Sum of the parts, slow and steady, diligence and discipline." Make this, together with coming to Christ, your master equation. Godspeed, Peter |
Derek 8/12/2014 12:21:16 AM MST | It's been over 7 months since my last post and a lot has happened in my life as I continue on the protocol. After that last post in December, I was living in SC and started job interviews all over the country. I was fortunate to get a job and relocated. However, I struggled as I was very sick when I started the new job, and they let me go at the end of June. I just wasn't me during that short time in the company, and I took the firing as a sign that I need to focus on getting well first before trying to find more work. I realized how hard it really is to recover when ravaged by M and balance it with a work and social life. Although I ate fairly clean, I still was not on the diet from January 5th-July8th, and the added stress of the job (that wasn't really a good fit for me anyway) just made me sicker. Coworkers urged me to drink with them at times which I succumbed to. I was on the protocol though, but I was having a hard time staying awake late enough after dinner for my nightly MMS dose very often. I think giving in to the urge to drink diet sodas and coffee to give me enough energy to work hurt me in the long run. There is no doubt in my mind that my body was acidic the whole time. After losing my job, I really had to reassess what things I was doing wrong that were preventing me from getting better. I would say diet, lack of adequate rest, not using my CPAP machine for my sleep apnea,doing no topical treatments except for MMS baths, and taking pharmaceutical drugs were all hindering me. I was having severe breathing difficulties on most mornings, my skin was starting to break out, and I couldn't think clearly. I felt like I was close to dying. So, a month ago, I had to reassess everything from my diet, sleep, drug use, and topical treatments and get more dialed in to move in a direction to restore my health. First, I changed my diet to match Peter's as close as possible. I now eat raw garlic, red onion, and ginger before every meal. I eat no carbohydrate containing foods except green vegetables. I eat virgin coconut oil every day. I also realized I could eat indian curries, which I love, every day. I drink only water and herbal teas now. I also test my urine pH daily and found I need to take in 2 tsp of baking soda daily to keep my urine pH above 7. In time, I expect to have a natural pH over 7 without the need for baking soda. I reduced my consumption of meat to once every other day. The remaining protein in my diet comes from whole eggs and whey isolate sweetened with Stevia. The second thing I modified was my topical and whole body treatments. I bought an infrared sauna blanket which I use twice a day for 20 minutes each session. This has really helped me purge things out of my body, especially very large fiber balls that were as big as my fingernail. I don't know how they even came out of me, but the sauna blanket really opens up my skin pores. I shower with sulfur 8 shampoo or take a bath in MMS or Borax after the sauna to get the stuff that came out of me but is still stuck to the skin off of me. I also began extracting spores from my skin from head to toe using coconut oil with a little tea tree oil added everyday. I bought myself a small near infrared heat lamp where after oiling up my body, I can heat the skin locally. This definitely helps me pull more spores etc. to the surface and get them out of me. I found that this works especially well after weight training. I always get a dramatic, bodywide purge after doing a full body workout with a couple sets for each body part in the 4-8 rep range. I actually get excited during my workouts thinking about all of the stuff that's going to be exiting my body once I get home, oil up, and get near the heat lamp. I think everyone should try doing their extractions after strenuous exercise. My guess right now is that we have a lot of this stuff stored in our fat cells, and it gets released during strenuous exercise due to the low carbohydrate diet forcing the body to use bodyfat as a fuel source. The next thing I want to try is the Mustard bath that Susan recommends. I'd like to stack it in a way which follows my sauna and oiling/heat lamp sessions. As I've been purging tons of dark spec/fiber material, my skin went from almost clear to very pimply, with scratch marks in many places on my body. I take that as a good sign as this crap is coming out and my immune system is also recognizing it. Peter recommended that I use Kleen Green after oiling and showering to get the oil and unseen surfaced spores off of my skin. That should keep the skin more clear. For sleep, I now use my CPAP every night, and it seems to help me get more restful sleep. So, have I seen improvements since implementing all of these changes? Yes, I have. I no longer have shortness of breath or hyperventilating. My skin no longer hurts from that feeling of having fiberglass imbedded in it. My crawling and stinging has also dimished except for the full moon periods. I have been able to get off of one pharma med and have been successful so far in tapering off Klonopin. I've cut my dose in half and continue to notice no rebound anxiety. If all goes well, I could be off all pharma meds in 5 weeks. I still have brain fog and fatigue though. I'm really hoping to get some of my brain back once off all of the pharma meds and adding Magnifimind to help reset my brain. My next big challenge this month is going to be another move to a place where I can recover while keeping my living costs down. I'm not sure yet where I'll be in 3 weeks, so I'm stressed about that. But otherwise, I plan on continuing to pound away at this everyday, with a rigid diet and taking the protocol. Much love to all of you! Derek |
