11/23/2016 11:35:03 AM | Its time for my 15th month post - the time is flying by :) Thank you Marie for posting here - its great to have others from the UK sharing on the forum and to know that we are not alone with this in the UK. Progress in my ph level seems to be slow. It is a bit better, more like average 6.5 in the morning and 6.75 2 hours after food later in the day. I'm drinking more lemon water. I'm wondering if I would be better using the bottled concentrate though as at the moment I'm using fresh lemons. Thank you Ms V. for your advice about ph levels and no amount of information from you would ever be too much! One of my favourite teas is called Detox tea by Pukkha Teas and it has aniseed, fennel seed, cardamon and celery seed, maybe liquorice as well. I think it may be helping so will drink more of it! Also, I chopped up some sage and added it to a portion of chicken and veg broth and it tasted great so I'm pleased I've got something to use it in as its still really green and growing. I'm adding kale and spinach to the broth as well now so trying to get as much green as I can in there. In fact I add the leaves to whatever I'm cooking now. I'm also eating leaves or veg for breakfast now so getting greens at every mealtime. For the past three weeks I've been drinking a spoonful of betonite clay mixed with water the night before, first thing in the morning before anything else. I'm hoping it will help remove acid wastes from the gut. The instructions say three weeks on and one off for three months. I'm planning on trying the sodium bicarbonate on the weeks off. I'm still taking the alkalising mineral supplements and keeping on with GSE and oregano oil, matcha and reservatrol. I don't often have any itching any more but just occasionally on my face around my nose it can happen and the night before the last full moon was the last time. Its quickly got rid of with a spray of kleen green rubbed into the skin. The black bits on my face are still at the same level as last month. I just very occasionally see something on my feet but usually there is nothing there now. Sometimes on my hands there are some tiny specks. My most troublesome symptom at the moment are a row of big red blotchy patches on my chin. They are proving hard to get rid of but I'm persisting with mms and kleen green and either sulfur cream or essential oils. My skin has always been clear most of my life so its a new thing for me to cope with but good for me to be able to empathise with others having facial blemishes. I'm happy to report that my husband is supportive, or maybe at least accepting, of my carrying on with the protocol up to the two year point. This was a big concern for me as initially he was only willing to give me a year. I'm so grateful to God for how He's changed things and thankful to those who have prayed for me. I don't have the same level of support as some do from their husbands but I'm grateful that he accepts the disease is real and has been willing to read. It led to him understanding more about the disease and he showed empathy for the first time to me re the disease about the blotches on my face saying that he understood how this could be a concern for me in terms of what they might develop into. It meant a lot to me that he was concerned about the possibility of lesions and understood how I might be feeling. So I'm keeping on keeping on and each day now isn't the same challenge as it was at the beginning of the protocol. It doesn't feel like such a steep climb now but is more of a plateau. Its still feeling a long way from the summit though and I don't know how far away the end point is so I have to keep on being patient! Sometimes I think about it all and just start to cry as its the realisation of accepting what's happened to me. Even though I can see all the good things that God has done and continues to do through the disease there is a sense of healing from the trauma, especially the experiences of the early days that needs to be cried out. I think its a positive thing though as it helps me to embrace the circumstances of it all more and put myself into God's hands for whatever future He has for me. Love to you all, Ruth |
