From a respected physician (not ours), but how often was I reminded of that during my Lyme treatment -------
DETOXIFY
Spiritual - Emotional & Physicial Toxins
Forgive everyone who has hurt you or your loved ones, esp. subconsciously
Release guilt and undecide decisions that are from guilt; release old emotional "traumas"
Accept yourself as worthy of good health
Find joy, love, will to live and purpose for living
Do juice fasts and detox supplements and colonics
Do lymphwork and mesenchyme remedies
Use EDTA, DMSA, DMPS, PCA, chlorella, colantro, L-glutathione, lipoid acid, NAC, garlic, Ecomer, etc. (with guidance by physician)
Body soaks, sauna, BEFE & balance saliva pH
Do infrared detox and/or laser acupuncture detox
Take care.

Great advice GiGi. I think emotional detox is greatly underestimated and yet it plays such an important role in our health/immune system and our ability to heal. Terry

I fully believe that detoxifying the body is a key to wellness and recovery. I think too often we focus on just killing more bugs, but if we are not detoxifying and opening up our organs of elimination, problems result.
As someone recently told me, if the toilet is full, you don't continue to poop in it.
Thanks GiGi for the reminder!

Emotional detox. It's not like someone can tell you to put 1 cup of this and 1 cup of that in a bath, and sit in it for such and such a time, and voila, you're emotionally cleared. I've always known you need to do this, forgive, etc. But, there's no magic formula for how to do it.
I recently found someone who is a massage therapist, but also says she works in 'emotional clearing'. I was intrigued by that. I've only seen her a few times, but even after the first session with her, I recognized her as a healer. I think we need to seek out guides or teachers. Or rather we are led to them. We just have to be open to the possibility I suppose.
She said to me, the next time you have a headache, spend some time asking yourself about it. I was really really surprised about the answers I got. I think it lessened the intensity, the burden, the weight of the pain, but it didn't totally go away. I thought, we must be on to something here. It's an exploration and sometimes we just don't want to go there. It's easier to tune out, try and forget, bury, not think about that, etc. It's dark and ugly in there, and we must be brave, and willing to take the trip.
I'm just taking baby steps, and I've still got a long way to go.

meditation is also a great detox tool and balancer.

I hear this about forgiveness often, and of course I understand that not forgiving hurts only me.
BUT, I never can find out HOW to forgive. Being told "just let go of it" does not tell me HOW.

Begin by taking fewer toxins in so the detox load is less.
This can be identifying food sensitivies, sugars, chemicals in water and food, chemicals we wash and use on our bodies.
Changing your attitude about life and "others" that just don't get it goes along way toward helping our body heal itself.
I'm either hearing or noticing more main stream chatter about healthy living, on all fronts. This would be a good thing.

EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique www.emofree.com there is a free manual that will teach you how to do it.
Klinghardt is doing something similar to a long version of this with lymies. the better your energetic body (the less sick you are) the better it works in my experience.

Ive been reading "a course in miracles"
Its a beautiful book, alot of it seems far out but at its core it teaches true forgiveness.
I just know and have experienced that when I practice the lessons and thought habits in this book my pain lessens and my mind clears and I feel better!
It very tought to keep this though. It takes practice.
Im believing more and more that this is a spiritual illness for me, yes the drugs have an effect and one can measure certain levels and tests in my body however I know that my mind can block all the healing that can come my way through the medications. Ive had drugs fail or turn more then once on me.
Even now the coffee enemas seem to have no effect.

In 1985, a woman came into my life and made my life hell. The details of how are unimportant. I fought and railed against this lady both verbally and through the legal system with little effect for 5 yrs. In fact, the more I tried to stop her damage, the deeper I sank into it. Finally, just the thought of her would set off a major migraine. I could not avoid this person as she had married into the family. I dreaded functions where I had to see her and would actually get sick prior to the function and then drag through the whole affair feeling dreadful in addition to having to deal with her subtle assaults.
Finally, in 1990, after a period of soul seeking, I reached a point in my life where I went (mentally) before God and fell to my knees. In total shame, I laid my whole sorry mess of a life at his feet and sobbed that I could not seem to fix a thing. If He would please just take over, I would do whatever He said and I would accept whatever He did. I felt God must be disgusted with me for my inability to manage my own life.
Know that I was raised in a Southern Baptist environment where there is NO Touchy, Feely, Charismatic approach to God. It is more of a Do's & Don'ts, "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves" kind of thinking. Surrendering your mess to God was not what I thought you should do, I was just at the end of my rope and couldn't seem to do anything else.
At the very moment I surrendered myself, God filled me with his Holy Spirit. It felt like he opened up the top of my head and poured warm syrup into my body. It traveled through my veins all the way to my fingertips. As I felt his touch, my anger for this woman was washed away and I felt only his love for her.
Instead of being disgusted with me, it was as if God said "Finally, you are turning to me."
Very soon after this experience and still very full of the spirit of God, I had to go to a function where I would encounter this lady. True to form, she approached me and in her sugar sweet, false "just-for-public" voice she said Hello. I had my back to her, but with complete calm and sincere warmth in my voice, I turned to her and greeted her. In the past I would have either told her to shut up and leave me alone or given her the look of death and walked away. THE SHOCK ON HER FACE WAS PRICELESS.
In the Book of Romans (Holy Bible) Paul says to shower your enemies with kindness and it will be like heaping hot coals on their head.
I swear to you, that is how it was for her. However, with my new feeling for her, instead of gloating at her shock, I felt really sorry for her. Afterall, how sad that her pleasure in life was to make my life so miserable.
I also noticed that all the other family members around me looked incredibly relieved that I didn't burst out with my usual display of anger. I felt terrible to know I had put them through so much stress in past events.
Somehow, that poor woman had to sit directly across from me the entire dinner. She didn't say two words (normally she dominates the scene) and she was very pale.
She never again was an issue for me and eventually her husband divorced her and now she isn't even in the family.
So one way to resolve your emotional illnesses and I would feel it is the best way, is to give the issues to God. He handles it best. Of course, I have also handled my lyme disease in the same manner and give God the credit for leading me to the right doctors and information such as provided by Lymenet to help me heal from this sickness.

Thats a beautiful story, Thanks Luvs.
I had to completely end my relationships with abusive family members in order to begin healing. I had tried everything over the years and finally decided I could no longer have any contact whatsiever with people who made me physically & emotionally ill.

Luvs,
You wrote that so very beautifully. That is exactly how I feel but there is no way that I can even start to express it ( brain fog)
I am so happy for your wonderful experience. It is such an amazing feeling to feel God with you.
Best of luck,
Posted by luvs2ride (Member # 8090) on :
Thanks guys.
That was sharing a very personal experience in my life but it just seemed so apropo for this thread.

Luvs,
Thanks for your "detox testimony". It sounds as if your transformation is still with you.

Gigi, I read your post, of course, and someone told me about EFT 'coincidently'. I just connected things with the tapping, and tried to do something experimental this morning.
It was my rest day of metal detox, lymph drainage day, so I was expecting something like a calm, relaxed normal day like others...
Wrong. I did the tapping WITH a few frases early in the morning, some frases did look stupid as they made not much sense, but after I felt relaxed. It's the first time I tap with a frase. Somehow I felt TOO relaxed, like my movements went so slow, muscles got weak (?). Then I thought, well, that's the usual tapping feeling, just stronger.
Then went out to pick nuts, do gardening, nothing extreme ... When I came back home, I experienced extreme fatigue, like when I was very sick before. Then some chest pressure, lung pressure, dizzy feeling in my head, I recognized my 'normal' symptoms of metal intoxication.
I had done hiking in the mountains this Saturday, but the fatigue I had then was totally different and already gone.
I went directly to the kitchen to get a few chlorella pills, well, I got better after a while. It feels like metal intoxication without metal detox supps!!???
I craved for proteins during lunch, had meat, fish, a sausage and could still eat an egg, like usual on days of metal detox... Now, it's the end of the afternoon here, I took the mineral punch plus the salty solution. But I still feel metal intoxication coming. Again more chlorella.
What is this??? Is it possible this EFT works this way so fast???
I took MORE chlorella today than what I usually take on metal detox days. And I still feel intoxication coming. It feels like on the days after amalgam removals. I think I'll take 50 pills at once now to see...
I'm still baffled. I kept reading what you wrote about traumas and release of metals etc. I could never relate as everything in metal intoxication for me is new.
Could I be releasing metals so fast with EFT only ??? It's difficult for me to believe. My naturopath never really treated my 'psycho' side, maybe because these didn't appear in ART, so this IS new to me.
I changed nothing on my daily supps. This looks so strange...
