Morgellons - JUST ASK THOSE WHO RESTORED THEIR HEALTH !!!
JUST ASK THOSE WHO RESTORED THEIR HEALTH !!!

Hi Everybody,

I haven’t been around in a while...I’ve been very busy with “life,” but hopefully things will get less intense soon and I'll be back around as usual.

Something has been on my mind for a while that I’d like to share...and it all has to do with mindset and attitude.

It’s a well known fact that our attitude and thoughts can shape our realities. The most basic example of this is the placebo effect. I won’t go into an explanation of this because everyone knows what it is, but this kind of connection (mind / body) is nothing new. There are endless books written on the topic.

We are dealing with a complex disease that offers challenges on multiple levels. Coordinating the “sum of the parts” requires monumental focus, determination, and consistency. Keeping these balls in the air on a regular basis for months and even years on end requires a powerful mindset and a will of steel.

And that’s just the physical part...in other words...what we physically DO every day.

Then there’s the emotional part.

Not only have we been abandoned by the medical community...we have been abused as well.

Not only have we not received the treatment we sought...we have also been discredited and declared mentally unbalanced.

The cherry on the cake for me was when I paid the guy $160 to use the DOP cop out that made him feel a-ok at the end of the day (after all...he was only going on what he’d been told by the CDC) and me to feel even worse than ever...plus...he had $160 of my hard earned cash to do so! I guess he took the part of the oath that says "first do no harm" on the most surface level possible. Obviously he didn't feel compelled to look at any deeper evidence than which made him feel the most comfortable...that which came from the CDC.

Ironically, it actually takes the opposite of mentally ill to deal with this disease. It takes the most balanced kind of person to manage the “sum of the parts” on a long term basis especially while feeling extremely ill, having little or no support...and even having the abuse of being declared mentally unbalanced.

So...we all know how important it is to stay positive and focused. It takes a deep level of effort and the ability to listen to one’s own truth. That’s not easy...we’re told from early on that doctors are basically Gods...and they “know best.” It takes courage and a quantum shift in thinking to say…”No! The emperor has no clothes (meaning...no doc...you’re wrong...I really am physically sick).

The most wonderful thing is...SO many people do this...they listen to their own truths...they find a better way that makes sense (“sum of the parts”)...they evaluate the protocol and see that it works...then they stick to their beliefs even when others (who don’t have this disease) want to offer advice that better fits with their model of how the world should be. After all...don’t the doctors know best? How many of us have kept our mouths shut while someone who's not sick offers various opinions? I know I have...and I know why. It's terribly difficult and unsettling to have your view of what the world is supposed to be like shaken. So...our responses to others take us to even higher levels...not only are we suffering...we are essentially making it "about them" to protect them from having to ever really understand the raw and terrifying fear of this disease. We suffer...we take abuse...then we protect others.

And it takes a toll on us.

However...we have true warriors here...and a long track record of people who have “done it” in spite of the monumental odds.

That means got well.

Not into remission.

Not just got better.

Got well.

Like Mel…

Mel is WELL.

And like so many others.

So...evidence is there...we CAN get well and stay well.

I’ve listened and read this site for three or four years now. And the thing that’s stood out to me more than anything else is that those who have gotten completely well have made the Herculean effort to stay positive, and they’ve sustained this positive attitude over the long haul.

That’s because a negative attitude is not only unwarranted...it’s downright counterproductive. If our thoughts have the power to drive our outcomes and realities, how destructive is it to put the thought out there that we cannot get well? I’d have to answer my own question with...pretty destructive...and completely unnecessary.

My doctor acknowledges Morgellons. I asked her on my initial visit, “Can I get well?” And she said…”yes.” I wanted to put a fine point on it, so I asked more questions…”do you mean remission or do you mean well?” My doctor said…”well.”

It is just so important to keep one’s mindset pure and positive...and moreover...if someone offers the idea that Morgellons and other toxic diseases are “end of days” evidence in Biblical terms, I’d have to seriously question why a person would offer such an opinion. And that’s exactly what it is...an opinion. Think about this...we’ve had terrible diseases in every century. Most have been wiped out over the years...but I’m sure many a person at the time declared that...let’s just say typhoid for example...was evidence of Biblical “end days.”

My grandmother used to talk about how scary it was to get sick before antibiotics came out. Any of us can look back a few generations on our family trees and see big families and also note that almost every family had one or more offspring to die in childhood. This was from diseases that have long since been wiped out. I’m sure many during those times thought these diseases were evidence of “end days” as well.

So...if you’re tempted to buy into the fear porn of these diseases being evidence of “end days,” then take a breath and use your cognitive reasoning to think it through.

Before I end this long post, I do want to offer up the most marvelous example of a warrior who has, in my opinion, one of the strongest positive attitudes of anyone I know. She also quite obviously has a tremendously strong faith in God and is one of the best examples of what Christ taught us to be like in the New Testament...and that is Love...toward oneself and all others.

It is our dear Leslie.

For those of you who don’t know, our Leslie had it BAD. I won’t go into all of her circumstances...those are hers to share...but suffice it to say...she had to dig herself out of one of the deepest holes I’ve ever heard of. I used to hear about it and worry so much for her...how was she going to deal with all of this? Any mortal would be hard pressed to keep from going into a serious depression over any one of her challenges...but Leslie didn’t.

Leslie BELIEVED she could get well.

Leslie BELIEVED God would help her.

Leslie loves God...and it shows in everything she says and does. She takes the highest road in her interpretation of all things Biblical...never giving into the temptation for any negative and / or punitive interpretations. She just accesses and projects Christlike love in all things. You could actually feel the positive energy pouring out of Leslie even during her darkest hour...and she just encourages us all every time she speaks.

It is an inspiration to hear her pray...and to hear her acknowledge God and Jesus in the most positive way in everything she says. She declares God’s love...power...mercy...and protection, and guess what? That’s what she gets.

And Leslie is just about well...and many many wonderful things have happened in her life this last year as a result of her positive attitude and strong faith.

And so...two things.

We CAN get well. Many have...and many are on the road to same. Don’t allow yourself to buy into anything else. We decide our thoughts and our thoughts drive our results.

And...the thought that Morgellons and other toxic diseases are an “end days” Biblical thing is...an OPINION, not a fact.


So...stay strong, and stay positive, and I’ll meet you at the Finish Line!

Love,

Karen

Morgellons - Attitude is Everything and WE Choose our Attitudes

Hi Karen,

I just listened to the song you shared "Down to the River to Pray". It really is beautiful and soothing.

Thank you for sharing and for all that you do to teach us all you can about this disease and how you are conquering it.

Best wishes to you on selling your home!

Bless you,

Linda
