This Is It!!

Well, friends, I've decided to finally follow the crowd and start blogging. Here's a quick update on the last month or so:
I saw a certified herbalist and certified naturopath student on July 25th. My parents have been seeing her for months and my friend Colleen has been, too. They've all been helped by her, so I thought I'd give it a try. The regular doctors haven't done anything to make me feel better, so what could it hurt? After performing her witchdoctory, she concluded that I have a virus (which I did not tell her, but my blood tests have been confirming this for a year almost); that my calcium, iron, and thyroid are all low; that my lower heart is not circulating properly; and that I have high levels of silver amalgams and titanium (she's not sure how that happened, as I have not been around any nuclear reactors). She is not going to do a detox on the silver and titanium until the circulation is better.
After putting it off for a couple week, I finally ordered the special herbs that she recommended. I take 12 pills at breakfast and dinner and 8 at lunch. So far I haven't felt much, but my mom said it took 2 weeks before she noticed any improvement. She has fibromyalgia and the pain is mostly gone. At some point, when I can afford it, I also have to have a cranial sacral and tail tuck massage. I'm supposed to find out my blood type, too, because the naturopath is big into eating for your blood type. I keep forgetting to ask the doctor when I'm there. I should've paid more attention in 9th grade health class when we did our blood type tests!
I've been off work now since mid-July and I'm kind of bored. There are a lot of things I want to do, but I have no energy to do what I want. When I have a good day, I go out and practically kill myself. I am, however, forcing myself to eat better. I really like bran muffins, so I've been making those quite often. I don't know that anyone needs to eat 3 or 4 a day, but at least my system is being cleansed on a regular basis. :)
Anyway, I'll keep you updated on all this as time goes on. My goal is to be back at work by October 1st.
