Always sick

[jesalyn]

It seems I'm always sick. I have one infection or another. This week it is an ear infection, sinus infection, both got so bad it is now on my skin. Last month it was the flu, the month before it was sinuses, and on and on... Anyone have any advice for me? I'm sick of being sick.:(

First you have to tell what your daily activities are. What do you do, what do you drink, eat, exercise etc.
That would help.

Look in to the raw food diet.

Clearly your body is in an acidic and toxic condition, and your immune system has been compromised. I recommend you go on a green juice fast, which will permit your body to sort itself out whilst alkalinising it and remineralising it.

The fundamental cause of just about all disease is constipation. When the body is in an acidic state its response is to produce mucus in an attempt to neutralise the acid. This mucus causes blockages, which lead to disease. It also provides an excellent breeding ground for dangerous microbes – viruses and the like. The western diet is not one conducive to good health, neither is it compatible with our physiological design. Get rid of the poisons and artificial culture-foods such as meat, dairy, wheat, sugar, coffee, potatoes, and etcetera, and replace them with proper foods such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. You should utilise the microalgae, too, such as spirulina and chlorella. Barley grass powder is very detoxifying, so I also recommend getting hold of some.

Colloidal silver works every time. Also, vitamin D3 in winter is good for warding off colds and flu.

[jesalyn]

I had heart surgery a year and a half ago, I am 34. I have had 2 children and 3 miscarriages (in the last 5 years). I am overweight (about 30lbs). I started working out about 6 weeks ago (and watching my diet), I've lost 17lbs so far. I workout almost everyday (with a trainers' help). I don't smoke or drink. My oldest son is in school, the youngest is at home with me. I take muli-vitamins and acidophilus. My doctor has checked my thyroid, its fine. I do not have HIV or AIDS (been tested).

I understand that being overweight doesn't help. I have been getting "sick" my whole life, even when I was skinny. If someone coughs next door, I've got their cold.

The raw diet doesn't sound very appetizing, but I'll look into it.

[unimatrix0]

Yes, it sounds exactly what I've been going through. It's been going on for about 7 years. I'm pretty sure it's a fungal infection that I got from having allergies.

It's difficult cycle to break, because you try to exercise too much to get healthier, you actually feel worse because you're body is constantly using energy to fight your infection. You have to fight the infection first and then start exercising slowly as your energy comes back.

I got tired of doctors and conventional methods just this past month when I got another sinus infection. I started looking at some more radical cures and found one that works for me! I was actually going to start a thread about it. I wanted to try colloidal silver, but I'm still nursing so I was a bit apprehensive about using it now.

What has been working for me is hydrogen peroxide. Here's is a link to how to make the solution and how to flood your sinuses.
http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=139765

It's completely insane what came out of my sinuses!

I know I still have a lot of healing to do, but it's so much easier when you can breath and you have a bit more energy. One important part of healing is diet change. I find it challenging to stop eating sugar, but I feel so much better when I do.

Good luck with your healing! I understand how frustrating it can be.

I'm sorry to hear that you have had 3 miscarriages, very hard for a women to take.

Some times it can be psychosomatic?

Colloidal silver is very good and so is MMS too. Do you eat a lot of processed food? I see that you take a multi vitamin supplement, if it's in pill or tablet form then it wont be as effective as they will pass through the system before they really get a chance to dissolve.

Fresh Vitamin C is the best way to go, imo.

What sort of training routine are you doing? i.e. Is there a chance that what with your normal day to day life and the workouts you may be over training and therefore running down your immune system even more?

Also has your trainer recommended any supplements?

It's obvious that your immune system is not in peak condition : if it were in peak condition you wouldn't be getting infections one after another.

Exactly.

And for the first point.

Do you spend all your time indoors?

This is 'old wives medicine' but - spending more time outdoors, especially in cold weather, will strengthen your immune system over time. Most people spend almost no time outside so their immune system is basically non-existent. This is also a common cause of sinus congestion and just feeling shitty in general.

Is there good circulation of air in your home?

If you open a window in one room, leave the door to the room cracked open, and then open your front or backdoor, you might feel an intense change in air pressure or even hear it. This is an easy test. Most of us live with bad circulation and are breathing dust and dead skin cells.

You are definitely the sort of person who would see amazing, life-restoring results on the raw food diet.

The raw diet is the most innovative and tasteful diet their is. Furthermore, it is our natural diet, and the diet which restores and ensures good health.

Take a look at this thread for example recipes:

And this thread for a few links on it:

Trust me, after a few weeks on the raw diet your health will improve dramatically and you will never even want to look back.

Quoth the Devil's bought-&-paid for coadjutor.

If I was a fucking doctor I would be recommending poisonous drugs and shit like that. What I recommend is the chance for her body to regain control and heal itself, as it is built to do and as it will do as soon as it is given the chance.

Food causes disease and food heals. "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food."

If you, metacomet, knew anything at all about health then you would be agreeing with what I posted, instead of tainting this thread with hostile shit. Shame on you. The thread starter is requesting help, not shit from you which is intended only to detract from the good information.

You post again, detractor, when you have cured cancer. Because the only case of cancer I have advised on in actual life resulted in a 100 % cure, meaning all tumours disappeared.

How many of your fucking doctors can say that?

Yes, but you're not a doctor. You're a voluntary salesman for the raw-food diet. You sound like a walking infomercial. You waltz into every thread telling people they are ignorant and evil for advocating meat -eating, then you proceed to cram your diagnosis and raw-food diet down the throats of the OP's.

I'm not going to bother to respond to the rest of your post. Emotional responses aren't worth replying to.

It is funny you talking about ramming crap down peoples throats. Not just because that is what you seem to constantly do, but mainly because the 'foods' you recommend are actually contaminated with actual crap! Meat always contains some fecal matter, because as the slaughter men hack-up the corpses, they have not yet been able to prevent shit from the colon spilling out over the rest of the animal's flesh. All milk contains blood and pus. Want some links?

Well, considering the OP's situation, the "Physical & Spiritual response" I was referring to, requires more than just a "raw diet"... :)

Wow. I didn't know I started a heated arguement :eek:.

I was raised eating no meat, pork, eggs, milk, white flour, sugar, gluten, chocolate, sulfites, nitrates, artificial anything, exc, exc. My mom is a "health" food chef, and macrobiotic chef. I know the raw foods sounds un-appealing because I know what it entails :D

I do agree on the spiritual healing, I need lots of that with the miscarriages and near-death with the heart surgery (I had a heart birth defect I never knew about).

Clearly, and with respect, you do not know what the raw diet entails. I expect you have an addiction with cooked foods, which are poison to the body:

"When we heat food above the human body temperature of 38 degrees, it changes. This heated food effects our health much differently than natural, unchanged foods.

Prior to 1930, It was believed that whenever we ate, there was an immune system response as if we were poisoned. An immediate rise in white blood cells, by about 300%. White blood cells are our body's soldiers, they are produced to fight off threats, like poison, trauma or disease. This reaction to eating was called Digestive Leukocytosis and thought to be normal.

In 1930, Dr Paul Kouchakoff conducted research to compare the effects of cooked food versus raw food. He discovered that Digestive Leukocytosis occurred only when cooked or processed food was eaten. He found that there is no immune system response when we eat our food in it's natural, unheated, unprocessed state.

Because of Digestive Leukocytosis, eating cooked food keeps our immune system in a constant state of emergency. Even what we call allergies are just our over burdened immune system literally freaking out when a new irritant is encountered.

Another immune system response to cooked food is mucus. When cooked food is eaten, our bodies try to protect us from this invasion by creating mucus. This mucus makes a wall between the food and our bodies. As a raw foodist now, if I eat any cooked food the first thing I notice is within' about 7 minutes my nose will start to run. Then within' an hour I feel just a bit knocked off my raw high. (that I sometimes can forget that I am on) Isn't it nice to know that you can get so used to feeling perfect that you take it for granted? You can!"

You're on the right path, Jesalyn, identifying the (physical) Truth regarding all the possible causes of your situation...don't get me wrong, your current living conditions might well be a contributing factor to this "negative energy"... :confused:

As for your "spiritual healing", may I suggest a daily session of meditation...5 mins of being still, imho, will suffice...

Lastly, your "healing" will take time...don't be too hard on yourself...!?

I don't consider myself "enlightened", only for the fact that I love my "cooked food"...and I ain't giving it up!! :D

You are an addict, as most of us are - addicts or recovering addicts.

It takes around two months to escape past taste preferences and fully transition to new foods. It took me two months to get over my unhealthy former foods as it takes most this amount of time. It is possible to escape the pull of the warm, cooked food in favour for the cooler raw food.

I wonder if you will heed my warning or wait until you get bad news from a doctor? Most need some exigent push to transition to healthier ways, while some never will and die needlessly.

Don't think of it as going without; just gradually increase raw food recipes into your diet. Eventually you will no longer have any room left for unhealthy cooked foods. In fact, you will find, if you try enough recipes or the right recipes, that the raw food is far superior to the cooked food. Apart from taste, raw food has a strong sense of 'aliveness' and vibrancy, due in no small part to the living enzymes it contains. These enzymes are vital and are all destroyed by heating food.

Have you read my article The Post-Money Paradise?

Money is control; it is how the elites control the populace. One aspect of this control is to make proper food unobtainable by the common person, who opts to save money by feeding themselves and their children poisonous filth.

There are several ways to overcome this money problem concerning food: Harvest the wild growing food which grows around you, grow your own food, work for your local organic farmer in exchange for food, don't worry about the money - invite it, only eat what is truly needed - a quantity which is easily affordable by the majority.

People seem to have no problem finding money for all kinds of shit they do not need, yet skimp on the food shopping! Fools. Health comes first, even if it means living in a tent, selling the computer, wearing the same clothes for ten years.

Pesticides destroy health, plants, soil, wildlife, the air and the water. There is no excuse to encourage the agrochemical industry - it is destroying our living environment and bringing death to all.

Yes, it sounds exactly what I've been going through. It's been going on for about 7 years. I'm pretty sure it's a fungal infection that I got from having allergies.

It's difficult cycle to break, because you try to exercise too much to get healthier, you actually feel worse because you're body is constantly using energy to fight your infection. You have to fight the infection first and then start exercising slowly as your energy comes back.

I got tired of doctors and conventional methods just this past month when I got another sinus infection. I started looking at some more radical cures and found one that works for me! I was actually going to start a thread about it. I wanted to try colloidal silver, but I'm still nursing so I was a bit apprehensive about using it now.

What has been working for me is hydrogen peroxide. Here's is a link to how to make the solution and how to flood your sinuses.

It's completely insane what came out of my sinuses!

I know I still have a lot of healing to do, but it's so much easier when you can breath and you have a bit more energy. One important part of healing is diet change. I find it challenging to stop eating sugar, but I feel so much better when I do.

Good luck with your healing! I understand how frustrating it can be.

I agree with the nasal irrigation ... a colleague swears by it (she uses a neti see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_irrigation) but i've found a cheap plastic condiment bottle works just as good!

You are an addict, as most of us are - addicts or recovering addicts.

It takes around two months to escape past taste preferences and fully transition to new foods. It took me two months to get over my unhealthy former foods as it takes most this amount of time. It is possible to escape the pull of the warm, cooked food in favour for the cooler raw food.

I wonder if you will heed my warning or wait until you get bad news from a doctor? Most need some exigent push to transition to healthier ways, while some never will and die needlessly.

Don't think of it as going without; just gradually increase raw food recipes into your diet. Eventually you will no longer have any room left for unhealthy cooked foods. In fact, you will find, if you try enough recipes or the right recipes, that the raw food is far superior to the cooked food. Apart from taste, raw food has a strong sense of 'aliveness' and vibrancy, due in no small part to the living enzymes it contains. These enzymes are vital and are all destroyed by heating food.
:D..."addiction". imho, is a negative energy, Ratiocinator...and the fact you're focussing so much of your own (positive) energy towards that negative energy, where's the enlightenment in that...? :eek: :)

So, because I love "cooked food", why does that have to mean I'm not living a happy & pleasant life...!? :confused: I love my life, wouldn't have it any other way...!! :)

I think I can manage a raw-food diet...what I can't, is my hypocrisy...!? :D

[lightgiver]

Have you read my article The Post-Money Paradise?

Money is control; it is how the elites control the populace. One aspect of this control is to make proper food unobtainable by the common person, who opts to save money by feeding themselves and their children poisonous filth.

There are several ways to overcome this money problem concerning food: Harvest the wild growing food which grows around you, grow your own food, work for your local organic farmer in exchange for food, don't worry about the money - invite it, only eat what is truly needed - a quantity which is easily affordable by the majority.

People seem to have no problem finding money for all kinds of shit they do not need, yet skimp on the food shopping! Fools. Health comes first, even if it means living in a tent, selling the computer, wearing the same clothes for ten years.

Pesticides destroy health, plants, soil, wildlife, the air and the water. There is no excuse to encourage the agrochemical industry - it is destroying our living environment and bringing death to all.

You are telling the wrong person Ratiocinator,you need to be telling the Elites or TPTB;)

I am already aware,most folk cannot even afford a descent meal.:(

[lightgiver]

its not time consuming growing your own veg, once you have put in the ground work it takes perhaps an hour a day. once spring is off and running you will reap the benefits. its also good for the soul eating what youve grown , and
tending to it. :(:D

I know ,I do,but we are on about other people,who cannot or get the time,due to the Rat race,and rats are nice really,so i should say the Messed up race,corrupted by TPTB.

I wish I could click my fingers and it happen tomorrow,but it isn't,not yet anyhow;)

:D..."addiction". imho, is a negative energy, Ratiocinator...and the fact you're focussing so much of your own (positive) energy towards that negative energy, where's the enlightenment in that...? :eek: :)


Where is the enlightenment in you focusing your 'positive' energy on the fact that I focus mine on negative things? Would it not be wiser to heed the lesson, to act on the new information, as the universe presents it to you, by whatever means?

Perhaps the Universe has made it my purpose to identify the negative things and reveal them to the ill-doers.

[Ratiocinator]

They can in the UK. Unfortunately, most of the humans here are dumb plebs and imbeciles who can afford to spend 40 pounds on cigarettes and/or alcohol each week but not on proper organic fruits and vegetables.

They certainly find money for McShit and Coca Cola, as well as the shitty new clothes from the shopping centre, but not on spirulina.

Fucking idiots. I hope the earth cleansing comes soon.

:D..."enlightenment in me"...!? I didn't say that, did I...!? :confused:

Thanks for the lesson...!! ;) Perhaps you should stop being so judgemental about other people's eating habits...and using "enlightenment" as the reward...

I'm curious...if all the elite/TPTB, changed their diets to raw-foods...do you think it would make any difference to their "enlightenment"...!?

"Judgemental", because my dietary habits does not meet your standards...and therefore, "enlightenment" is impossible...!?

not having time in many cases(not all) is just an excuse for being lazy. all you need to do to grow is veg is dig your garden over, fertiliese it( may not always be nesscercary) and follow the instructions on the seed packet, simple:) i have worked 50 hrs so far this wk and still manage to do this.
the ptb want people to be reliant on all things that they provide so the more power we take take from them the better , even if its a few herbs in a window box. peace friend:)

depends on what you mean by 'better.' A person who feasts on junk food would make inferior fertilizer after they die. I would rather grow food in ground fertilized by vegan corpses than by junk food corpses.

I could go on, but that probably says it all.

Well, what's the problem having cooked food then...?

You started off with "enlightenment", but now it's shifted to "vegan/junk food corpses"...and the quality of fertilizers...!? :confused:

Would it matter if all corpses were simply cremated...?

That does not sound very enlightening:confused: calling people plebs and the rest of it,that will really win them over.

Shit food is cheap. not everyone is on good money and a lot are not as educated as others.

and many work long hours,low wages and have familys to attend to.

Also not everyone can get land to grow on,have you seen some parts of Britain and the world?

All this should be coming from the ones running the country and the world,they are the real culprits,leading everyone down the wrong path,and creating this mess in the 1st place.

Do not forget not everyone is as educated as the next person and a lot need a guiding hand and knowledge.:)

I find it sad that everyone cant' have a large plot of land to do what they want on it. It's possible with the technology that is available. It's just those in power wont let us have it.

I large farm with happy animals who dont mind being eaten. lol That my POV :o:)

[jesalyn]

I would LOVE to grow my own food. We are renting at the moment and our land-lord said just cut the lawn no planting stuff. I would love my children to actually see where food comes from.

I'm starting small, working out, and slowly changing my diet from crap back to good. I have had so many MAJOR problems, I'm sure my system is compromised (I have other health problems I haven't listed).

I have heard of the peroxide in your nose thing, my husband did it once I thought he was going to die! I've also heard of the salt water in the nose thing too. I'll try them.

I was telling my husband they otherday that America is messed up, the poor people are fat and the rich people are skinny. Crap food is cheap, the good stuff does cost some money.

Thanks for the constructive advice.

Yes, snorting peroxide is very effective, if there are any bugs in there they are dead.
3% is a little tough but not that bad, try cutting it in half with water your first couple times.

Wow.

Is this the raw-food diet talking? Maybe you had a little too many fruit smoothies?

If you can ooze so much hatred and dogma over a diet it really helps me understand why so many wars have been fought over religion...

Yes, it sounds exactly what I've been going through. It's been going on for about 7 years. I'm pretty sure it's a fungal infection that I got from having allergies.

It's difficult cycle to break, because you try to exercise too much to get healthier, you actually feel worse because you're body is constantly using energy to fight your infection. You have to fight the infection first and then start exercising slowly as your energy comes back.

I got tired of doctors and conventional methods just this past month when I got another sinus infection. I started looking at some more radical cures and found one that works for me! I was actually going to start a thread about it. I wanted to try colloidal silver, but I'm still nursing so I was a bit apprehensive about using it now.

What has been working for me is hydrogen peroxide. Here's is a link to how to make the solution and how to flood your sinuses.

Thanks for the link. I have really bad sinus problems where I'm forced to spit out mucus throughout the day. I am going to give this a shot. BTW, coloidal silver could be added to the mixture. It also kills many types of bacteria et cetera.

Hi Jesalyn,

You've not actually mentioned what exactly it is, your sinuses problem is about...?

I suffered from sinuses for a number of years, after numerous examinations, X-rays and mis-diagnosis, it turned out my problem was a "bent septoplast"...all it took was a short operation (under general anaesthetic).

I've never had problems breathing (through my nose) again, since...thank GOD!! My allround health and indeed my sleep literally changed overnight, for the better, need I say...!! ...and no hayfever for me either...!! ;) :)

I'm not saying it is, but if your sinuses is a chronic problem, then, perhaps it's something you might want to ask your doctor to examine your sinuses, for that possibility...?

Good Luck!! ;)

You're welcome! And just a warning for anyone who does try this: I felt really sick for about 4 days. This may not happen to you, but if it does, it's normal! I also felt even more stuffed up for a couple of days. But I kept on going and things finally started clearing out.

Well, I'm sure that doesn't help you be too eager to try it then! Did he dilute it? Even diluted it does hurt a bit, so I can imagine what pure peroxide would feel like. I've been doing salt water flushes for years. They are good to keep infections away, but for me, it doesn't get rid of an existing infection.

Hello

I can understand, as no one particularly likes colds and flu's - but rest assured, it has been statistically shown that people who rarely get ill are most likely to drop dead suddenly without warning - true!

The odd flu stimulates the immune system, and gives it a shot in the arm, so to speak - similar to positive immune stress...

Regardless, I have found the best protocol to get rid of sudden onset pathologies is to engage Jim Humble’s MMS protocol.

This product is centred around the compound chlorine dioxide, and you can read more about it at www.mmshealthyforlife.com in which many peoples real life testimonials are given.

This product can be sourced by a reputable supplier at www.mmshealthy4life.com

It makes for an interesting and provocative read...

[motleyhoo]

Wow. I didn't know I started a heated arguement :eek:.

I was raised eating no meat, pork, eggs, milk, white flour, sugar, gluten, chocolate, sulfites, nitrates, artificial anything, exc, exc. My mom is a "health" food chef, and macrobiotic chef. I know the raw foods sounds un-appealing because I know what it entails :D

I do agree on the spiritual healing, I need lots of that with the miscarriages and near-death with the heart surgery (I had a heart birth defect I never knew about).

I guess I don't know where to start with either!

Welcome to the "heart club". I nearly died and had to have open heart surgery because of a birth defect I never knew about. It caused me to have a heart attack while out on my bicycle. But that's what I want to get to.

When I was yonger I was sick all the time, colds, sore throat, ear aches, allergies. It was miserable. Then I discovered cycling. Since I started cycling 8 years ago I hardly ever get sick of anything anymore. I am back cycling again, but because the heart attack forced me to improve my diet, I virtually never get sick anymore now. I take a few supplements (whole food multivitamin and antioxidants) and I eat a balanced organic diet. I also replaced all the cleaners in my home with non-toxic things.

I tried the raw diet and it wasn't for me. IMO, eating raw is not necessary to be healthy.
