Hi all, I am six month's into the protocol now. I have not posted anything before, but thought I would in case it helps another person. It is very encouraging to read what others have gone through at this stage...I was feeling very well, no movement or biting, for weeks, then after the holidays, the crawling and itching came back, with a few mild bites. I did go off my diet several times over the holidays, and wonder if this why I am having the symptoms again...but I am back to the regimen! Mel Says (ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY, REREAD FIVE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR FAILING TO ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS,) So much of this journey seems to be about keeping faith..and hope alive. I am struggling a bit now as I sit and type...not feeling great, with my back tingling, scalp crawly, feet sticky, and things jumping off of me now and then, but I know it is part of the process....a process which seems eternal, at times. But I am keeping my eyes on the prize of restored health...I cannot ever give up hope or trying. I'm afraid at times, especially as I can't really talk about this much with anyone. My family is generally supportive, but I feel and see that it upsets them to talk about it with me, and when mom looks normal, it's hard for them to understand I'm not well. To keep their stress down, I keep everything to myself, and just keep at it. I would not be alive if it were not for this community, and Mel, and his protocol, which has saved me from the agony we've all sadly been through. Some things I've learned along the way so far--I must take time to heal--mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Even if it means making less money, it is absolutely necessary to do, to get better. There are no shortcuts...I can't burn the candle at both ends, and still get better. Breathe deeply, especially after taking the WPS...it helps settle it in the stomach, and calms the nerves. Banish all feelings of self-pity...they make us feel worse. Everyone suffers in this life. This happens to be our particular kind of suffering. It is senseless to ask "why me?". Off to tend to one of my kids...it is bedtime. Can't wait to take my evening dose of WPS...never thought I would say that! I was sooooo terrified to take it at first. Now, I look forward to it, as I know it is helping to heal me...day by day. Steady as she goes... | ||||||

Hello friends and fellow warriors, I have missed feeling connected to all of you as my focus and energy has been with my husband and his family recently as they support my brother-in-law who is struggling to recover after a massive heart attack. So, what is happening at this stage? It's all happy news! My healing is continuing, slowly but surely. July 15th, 2018 was when I felt my first bite from MD, and was lucky to find Mel not too long afterwards. My symptoms are nearly gone...hallelujah!! I still get the occasional very mild bite, and the occasional tiny sand purging from my skin.My forehead, once a hotspot, occasionally still itches. I have come to recognize all the now little signs of MD in my body. As you know, we all experience this disease in slightly different ways, though many of us share similar symptoms. I've learned how vital it is to pay very close attention to how my body feels each day...it is easy, at this stage, to not even notice a tiny bite...it is so mild. I'm watching and listening to my body to see how it is abating. The course of this disease is like a storm that overwhelms us suddenly with lightning, thunder and curtains of hail, but vanishes with a mild breeze, scattered light showers, and the odd raindrop here and there. For you newcomers, who are struggling mightily, I want you to know that you WILL get well, just as I and many others have! Patience is everything. Your anxiety will diminish as you continue with the protocol. Sound sleep, mental and emotional ease, hearty appetite and physical energy will all return to you. Know that you will face bumps and set-backs, but just keep on "keeping on" as Mel always says...stick to the sum of the parts, and you will get there! I have clung to hope from the horrible beginning, thanks to Mel and my friends here, and that is what brought me through. love and hugs, Maria | ||||||

Hi Maria Your post was so informative. How wonderful that you are starting to feel like you're getting to the finish line. I really liked your analogy too about the forest and invisible beasts. This is a bad dream. Thank you for sharing your post and all the great tips that I constantly need reminders of. Blessings to you. Love Linda | ||||||
