RE: Sure Doesn't Feel Like a Friday, But WE OUT HERE! <3
Wish I wasn't reading about all this pain you're in, I'm sorry to hear about that! :( I don't mean to insult you with ideas on how to alleviate it, because I'm sure a smart gal like yourself has tried everything under the sun, but just in case...
......essential oils?
..........epsom salt bath with essential oils?
And I know you're one of my biggest cheerleaders and journey-followers, so you've read about my testing and everything. But have you ever been tested for heavy metal poisoning? I'm astonished at how much of my chronic fatigue and physical pain were caused by mercury toxicity. It continues to get better each day as I detox.
In any case, hang in there girl! You've got an amazing attitude and that's half the battle. :) <3
That's totally crazy, is it dificult to get tested? like is it something a Dr has to do? I do have an underactive thyroid, and that makes it SO SO hard for me to lose weight, it also contributes to the fatigue, but I wont rule anything out, I especially believe folks are brought into our life to guide us toward truth so it's certainly something I'll look into...
Also, teamhumble will tell you, ive got every oil "lotion and potion" LOL I'm an essential oil freak, and although we don't have access to a bath, a hot shower always helps <3
Long term I know I need consistent yoga and to lose some weight putting strain on my back, but its even more dificult to do when you're feeling tired and injured all the time :/
It was pretty easy from my experience. My doctor took hair samples and sent them to the lab. You can also get tested via urine or blood, but that's what he recommended. According to my doc, many of the common ailments people have can be traced back to heavy metal toxicity just because they're so prevalent our environment. Heck, even some of my long-time food allergies are disappearing as mercury gets detoxed. Your thyroid issues could possibly be caused by some type of metal invader, too.
Same here! As cliche as it is, I believe everything happens for a reason, we just have to be open to it and aware.
Omg that's amazing! Essential oils are so underrated. I have way more bottles than anyone probably needs and they're taking up half my carry-on size suitcase right now, but so worth it!
You're always so quick to comment and follow along with my adventures, how could I not return the favor! We're all in this together. :)
Damn, I wish there was like a test I could buy on Amazon because I hate going to the doctor, like a lot.... but I guess that's just the way things are eh- not everything can be DIY haha
I'll certainly do more research, I will say that eating a plant based diet is certainly what makes me feel the best, meats really zap my energy and I think are hard for me to break down. I did about 9 months of strict vegan last year and never felt better...
Another thing I found was helpful was eating for my bloodtype which is A- there's a lot about your personality and even the best types of exercise that I believe are determined by your blood type as well - have you ever looked into blood type diets?
I'm pretty sure there are by-mail tests you can purchase as well if you'd really like to stay out of a doctor's office. To be honest, it's not a heavily studied thing, so you'd probably be hard-pressed to find a doctor who knew much about heavy metals or what to do about them. Your best bet would probably be a naturopath or holistic practitioner.
Yassss, I'm all about the plant-based life! The more vegetables you can get, the better. Totally agree on feeling more energetic and "cleaner" when eating fewer carbs, animal products, sugar, etc.
As for the blood type diet, I've read a lot of conflicting opinions on that. Ultimately, the reading and research I've done show that the concept of eating a certain way depending on your blood isn't founded on studies/facts. But listen to your body... if you found a certain diet that works for you, that's all that matters. :)
Very true, the first step is self awareness, I was pretty much on free-play for most of my life unfortunately- I had no awareness of the link between how i felt and what I was eating, just too busy and frantic to notice ! I honestly wasn't even sure how i was SUPPOSED to feel until I started feeling better!
Funny what we'll accept when we don't know any difference!
I used to buy mineralized water purification drops, that made heavy metals and toxins in our water inert- they would actually reverse the dissolving process and in the morning you could actually SEE whats in your water- it was a trip- let me tell you! -
I'm also a huge fan of fasting once a year it realy feels like a whole system reboot
As I think most people are until some wake-up call comes along and shows you just how "blah" you've been feeling for so long! It happens so gradually, too, so it's impossible to notice.
That's wild! I've never heard of anything like that. What did it look like?
Never done a fast myself, might have to try one on for size here in Mexico since there's so much fresh-squeezed juice for cheap. :)
oooh that sounds perfect ! I did "the master cleanse" which sounds extreme, but if you look into it it kinda makes perfect sense, there are folks who have gone up to 40 days on it, I feel like it's SO healing and I feel awesome after 10 or so days
Also I SO appreciate you friend. Thank you for taking the time to share knowledge and for being invested in my journey as well! Thankful to have met you and found you on the blockchain<3
Yes! I was amazed at the thought of heavy metal toxicity coming from, not just whatever may be in our drinking water, but also just from old school fillings! I know people who have had theirs replaced, even! I was one of those lucky ducks with a fairly progressive dentist at the time my teeth were being filled and fixed.
good luck ..you are strong.
What a blessing that you had that dentist! I'm sure he was being laughed at at the time, but you and his other patients are enjoying better health now. Always makes me wonder what practices are "safe" right now but will come out as dangerous/unhealthy in a few years.
It's so true! Even food rules have changed and you really have to be smart and proactive and do your research! It's exhausting!! haha
