Thanks Alys and John,
I probably wouldn't consider MMS as a permanent part of my routine, but felt that I would try it as a cleansing practice for a time. Last night, I watched a long video of on the Gerson method (not a paid member of Conscious Media, and the video you recommended is not yet archived). This method makes a lot of sense. Since, I am almost 73, have had type 1 diabetes for 37 years, asthma/bronchitus/COPD, thyroid, and high blood pressure most of my adult life, I figure that at this time, the most I can hope for is to thoroughly cleanse my body to give it a chance to begin to heal. "THEY" say, of course, that type 1 diabetes cannot be healed because the beta cells cannot regenerate after they have been destroyed. I figure that might be so, but if everything else can function properly, the devastating side effects of this condition can be diminished.
I have gained a huge beginning on this course over the past year. I delved into Ayurvedic dietary practices, and at the same time eliminated most of the medications I was taking after researching their side effects (which upsets the doctors). The results have been phenominal. I lost 50 pounds of excess fat, saw my energy and well-being increase, and my insulin requirements were drastically reduced.
I am eating only small amounts of fish and poultry meat, lots of fruits & vegetables, and whole grains, all organic as much as I can get hold of and afford. I am back to building more garden beds so I can know what I am feeding this dear body.
My main emphasis at this time is to concentrate on improving the health of my lungs which would assist in further healing of the whole body. This is an amazing adventure.
Hope you don't mind my personal testimony, but thought it might be encouraging to someone else.
Loving you all,
JoyAnna
