OUR HEALTH IS EVERYTHING! ~~ For those of you who have ever had or have Meniere's Disease Symptoms ( or a chronic illness...) ~~ (First thing I'd like to say is this is not a pitty party...so don't feel bad for me...I have come a long way... I am getting emails asking if I am ok...lol..I want you to think for yourself here and get back to me if you want...) ~~ Our health is everything. Don't you agree? If I learned anything in the last 20 years or so, it is this...simply that we don't have to live with it! This is the message I bring to you. I also bring a message of hope to you, that is if you have been as chronically ill as I have for so long with no sure healing or no support. I am here to share with you my experience, my discovery, and my recovery....and to listen to you about yours. ~~ MY HISTORY ~~ I am now 42. I had suffered with chronic physical symptoms and depression ever since I was a child. My immune system was never fully-functional from the start. I got sick often with respiratory conditions and ear infections/pain when very young right into adulthood. I was given countless antibiotic, steroid, and antihistamine medications as well as shots for allergy, virus, and bacteria...until they all became innefective. I was told this was the cause of my ear pressure, head pressure, and blockages. I was actually illadvised by my earlier doctors to proceed with any ear surgeries due to the risks involved. ~~ In 3 years time I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Asthma, Osteoporosis, Hypothyroidism , Irritable Bowel, GERD (Acid Reflux Disease), and Anemia. However, as I percieve it now, I had shallow breath, panic attacks, fatigue, muscle/joint pain/swelling, malabsorption, over-acid , hormone imbalance, low iron stores, vertigo, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, allergies, trigger/ chemical sensitivities. This had to be the lowest, darkest, lonliest, most depressing time of my life. I tried everything, I say again everything to get well. You name it, I did it, but I never felt like I was consistently healing or healthy. ~~ (and, yes, I had to give up partying the way I used to...) ~~ On a positive note, it became a time of lifestyle change, reflection, seeking, risk-taking, and serious study for me that truly has benefited myself (and others now) tremendously. I certainly never believed I would ever overcome those debilitating symptoms/conditions that became such a part of me....became me. I mean...Isn't that the nature of human beings, to adapt and get "comfortable" with even that which is uncomfortable? Well, sad to say that this was me...I knew no other way. Little did I know I would be where I am today, working as part of an online team to help inform and support others who have chronic illness also. ~~ Take it from someone who honestly knows first hand what it was to be chronically challenged daily, hopeless, desperate, fearful, beyond help by conventional medicine, and worsened by some alternative medicine...these particular supplements were the ones that got me well and keep me that way, that significantly lessened my symptoms to the point of healing my immune system and getting me back on track. I don't have to make false claims here. These supplements sell themselves and I am just the guide...the messenger. ~~ ABOUT THESE SUPPLEMENTS AND WHY THEY ARE DIFFERENT? ~~ These supplements are of the highest quality and effectiveness. ~~ All these supplements were created to work synergistically to improve the efficiency of our immune system function, therefore improving blood flow by significantly minimizing inflammation and fluid retension. In doing so, they lessen chronic pain in joints/muscles which we accumulate through stresses (oxidative stress) whether emotional, physical, or through outside invadors...free radicals that have such influence upon our natural cells. These invadors (triggers/free radicals) can be additives, preservatives, smoke, smog, pollution, environmental, cleaning agents, scents, allergens, artificial sweeteners, salts, new carpeting, remodeling, candles, industrial environments, chemicals, molds, furs, feathers, dust, perfumes, detergents, fragrances, fuel, fabric softeners, pollens, road salt, woodchips, care products, acid-forming foods, aged foods, hormones or antibiotics in foods, hydrogenated fats, ozone, vitamin fillers/ingredients, noises (noise pollution), electromagnetic radiation, vibrations, book-dust, newspaper inks, waste, high fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutomate (msg), ....and the list goes on.What are your triggers you would like to get ahold of or erradicate? ~~ What these triggers do is promote a histamine reaction creating more water retension and inflammation to our cells and tissues creating more stress and anxiety for our bodies' immune systems to handle on their own. For some of us our metabolisms have changed and we develop cycles of symptoms that we can't seem to break out of no matter how hard we try. Toxins are produced wreaking havoc because of not being fully eliminated properly through correct channels. ~~ Our needs for good nutrition (cellular nutrition) have grown. "All adults should take a multivitamin every day", according to a report published by two Harvard doctors in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2002;287:3127-9). This recommendation is based on research demonstrating that taking a multivitamin may help prevent a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease, some cancers, and osteoporosis...See JAMA article..check it out- here. More and more have been recognizing this need and have sought out nutritional solutions as a matter of life and death or for better quality of health. ~~ However, the problem we face then is that we are basically on our own in the dark. This is where we need education and support to make informed decisions about our health. We've been dissapointed too many times by those we trusted, we've thrown away our hard-earned money on promising solutions, only to find we are back at square one or even in a worse place. But, we risked, and we need to give ourselves credit for continualy seeking. We are actually the strong ones who never give up, do the footwork, and try and try again. No one can do it for us. ~~ Our families, spouses, significant others, friends, parents, children and pets need us and we need to be there for ourselves first and foremost. Our relationships have been challenged not because people are not willing to understand or help us, but possibly because of their rightful emotions (from their perspectives) about changes in dynamics/roles they were used to. Some of us develop resistance to change by not asking for help or not allowing ourselves to become vulnerable, but isn't this how we grow, learn, and recognize options for healing? Illness does effect everyone around us and it is hard. Our health truly is everything in this life! ~~ Sometimes it is a matter of perspective. We need to start thinking positive about our health and healing. We are hearing more now about how our bodies are directly linked to our minds. And, don't our thoughts truly start with us? Yes, chronic illness is real, it is physical, not to deny this in any way, but where is the mind in all of this? Can we really treat it separately from our own bodies as a whole? What happens when we "remedy" one area and exclude others? I believe there is so much underlying we are not addressing and this is where we can be missing the mark. ~~ The mind is a very powerful thing. This is a fact we are sure to make everyone who contacts us aware of, especially the ones so down they feel no one with their particular circumstances can be helped. You are not alone! and don't ever think you are. Your situation is not to be minimized in any way, but doesn't it help to know there are others out there in all parts of the world in the same exact predicament as you and their minds and bodies are being healed through complete and balanced nutrition as we speak? This message I bring to you is the one that surely gave me hope and the true path to recovery. ~~ Any feedback? Tell me about yourself, ask for information...this is why I am here. ~~ Denise ~~ menieres-disease@cox.net
