A New Phase - February 9, 2010

I met with the naturopath this morning and, as usual, had my list of questions ready ahead of time. She gave me an "after chemo" supplement regimen and the next steps for what I call "after care." I must admit after taking so many supplements for the past nine months just to survive the cancer, chemo, and radiation, this new protocol seems as though it is not complete enough to adequately protect me. However, I realize the doctor knows what she is doing. So, the plan is to have the port removed first, then reverse the root canal, then do another round of detoxing. At this point, I do not remember if I ever mentioned my root canal before. According to Dr. Mercola’s research, (a well-known alternative doctor) root canals can be one of the causes of cancer. The reason being the chronic infection that occurs under the root places a constant burden on the immune system. I know there is more science behind this, but quite frankly, right now I cannot remember it all. If you would like to know more, I suggest you check out his website. I believe he has written more than one article on the subject. Since I had a root canal about fifteen years ago and just finished a bout with cancer, I would rather be safe than sorry in this regard. By the way, remember my theory about the cycle of achiness? Well, she said my thinking was correct. It would be wonderful if cleansing produced an ever increasing feeling of health and energy. However, it is more of a "feel better, then worse, then better again" experience. One last thing she suggested was to rest more as it is very healing. I know I need to because I find myself experiencing sudden periods of tiredness nowadays. The problem is there are so many things I want to do now that the medical treatment is finished that it is difficult to fit resting into my schedule. Unfortunately, I guess I do not have a choice in the matter.
