Today I woke up and felt so much better. The last couple of months have been difficult for me, and I allowed the situational stress to keep me from being true to the protocol or diet. However...there is only one reason I'm enjoying so much relief today...and that is because of this site. This disease is not for the faint of heart. It takes an iron will...consistency...and determination. And I think most of us could summon that in the face of the symptoms. However...no solid gold personal characteristics and no amount of discipline will work at all if the tools are not there. We have to have a road map to show us the way. I looked for a very long time all over the internet and went to many doctors before finally deciding to stick with the advice from this site exclusively. I spent a LOT of money. Nothing else had worked. This works. It's not simple. It's not easy. But knowledge is power. This site gives the information to get us all to the finish line. I know this because I have seen, heard, and talked to people who are now 100% well. I know this because I have personally experienced success...measurable success. Once I decided to devote myself exclusively to this protocol, I saw my lab work numbers improve dramatically. That's hard data. A less measurable, but just as valid piece of data is how I've managed to bounce back so quickly after having my last couple of bad months. I finally got myself back under control and have been in compliance with the sum of the parts for a week. I've had some fall aways in the past and have gotten better again, but it's taken longer. But...the reason I'm so much better so quickly now is because I'm so much further along. That is completely due to the support of this site. I can tell that I'm close now...if I stay with it...I'll end up in the 100% club like so many others before me. That is something I do not say easily. I'm extremely cautious...and will not claim success unless I'm convinced. I'm convinced. That was something I was looking for in my cyber "shopping" for so long to find something that might get me out of the hell of this horrid disease. I wanted to see if there were people who'd actually gotten well and stayed well. I really couldn't find any evidence of that anywhere else I looked. Actually...at first, I couldn't tell if that many people had gotten well from this site either when I first looked...though...Mel was well...so that was a huge plus. The reason I couldn't tell was twofold...one...because this website is huge...it has massive amounts of information gathered over years...and two...because I had such severe brain fog. So...if you are reading this...and if you are in a bad place...and if you are wondering what in the world to do and who to believe...and why why why the medical community and possibly even family and friends have abandoned you...then stop for a moment and draw a breath because you now can hope again. I don't say this lightly. I was the hardest one to convince. I wanted a quick fix. I finally learned from this site just how complex this disease is. But I also learned how to approach it...how to deal with the day to day...the month to month...the cooking...the cleaning...the emotional fall out...and so so much more. There is a great deal of support here. If you're like I was, you may be scared and wondering if you post or get on a conference call will people find out. Will you be marked as a leper or a whackadoodle delusional person? Those are the things I was wondering...and I was so scared to take that first step. However...I finally was convinced from all I read...so I finally emailed Mel. After that I started getting one on one coaching (a total lifesaver) and then I started posting and attending the conference calls...and I continued to read and read and read. No one has "found out." No one outside those of us who are suffering is reading this site. To put a fine point on it...others who don't experience this, just don't care enough to read random sites with the agenda of exposing people who have a toxic disease. And why would they? Would you have spent time reading about and attending conference calls about a disease you didn't have? Right...so no one else is either. And you don't have to even use your real name. Once the brain fog lifted, I realized how silly all my stigma concern was. It was just completely unrealistic and completely the result of the tremendous stress I was experiencing at the time. There is no doubt that my joining this community has been the main factor in my success. I was here before the $5.00 monthly subscription fee...and I'm still here. I'd get a monthly subscription if it was ten times the price. It's worth it because without this site and community, I'd be crying on my bed weighing about 95 pounds and writhing with symptoms...and completely alone. I would not have been able to continue to work. And now I'm SO much better...even to the point where I could have a big slip up and regain my progress within a relatively small period of time. Now I not only see the light at the end of the tunnel...I see the beautiful garden of having my life back again...sunlit fountains of joy...and banks of colorful flowers. No birds though! I'm not coming within miles of a bird's nest ever ever ever ever again!!! I'm writing this because I know there are so many of you out there looking, and my heart goes out to you. I know what you are dealing with...but there is hope. And not just hope to get better...hope to get 100% healed and to get your life back. So please...don't sit behind your computer screen scared to death and wondering...please join us. We'll help you because others before have helped us, and we like to pay it forward. And best of all...our Mel is here for us...but without him, I don't know what any of us would do...and having subscribers is the way we'll get to keep him. Love, Karen | |||
