I’ve been getting a number of sufferers asking how to get
started and what to do to get on the path of recovery. There are plenty of possibilities.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the various protocols out there. The list I
provide below is another. Since you’ve found your way to this blog, you’ve likely
heard my theory on cause of symptoms (mercury in part or in whole) and my take
on common ground of those recovering (a Toxins Out, Nutrients In approach). Here’s
my list:
1)
Forgive/Love
Yourself- I know this is easier said than done. Emotional luggage takes us
places we do not need to continually revisit…and it adversely changes biochemistry.
We need to take this beast by the throat, throttle it and throw it over the
cliff! Just say NO to negative thinking!
2)
Eat Right-
Eat organic raw and wholesome foods. High amounts of greens do the body good.
Juicing is an excellent way to increase the nutrients getting to us at the
cellular level (I started with a $5 thrift store juicer. Get to your local
farmers market and ask for reduced/ dented/ ugly vegetables and fruit at
reduced price. Juicing doesn’t need to be expensive).
3)
Supplement
Detoxing- While there are plenty of supplements out there, I am currently
taking only a handful. I have been trying my best to reclaim my endocrine/
hormonal system, in part, by taking iodine (thyroid) and a testosterone
booster. I am also taking Readysorb, a glutathione supplement, to increase the
exit of mercury. I take chlorella at each meal- ten tablets per meal (Dr. Chris
Shade recommends 50- 70 tablets per day) to pull inorganic mercury out of the
lower intestines and colon. A high quality daily mineral/ vitamin is important.
4)
Exercise-
Exercise can take many forms. The important key concepts for it to be
successful are to: A) Be consistent and B) Do not overdo it. Overshadowing these
concepts is to focus on making it fun! If you don’t enjoy it, you are not
likely to make it part of your daily routine. There are a million and one ways
to exercise- find what works for you!
5)
Daily
Quiet Time- Make time to relax, meditate, pray, do yoga, walk in nature, or
just swing in a hammock. Your system needs to have these breaks. Turn off the
TV, turn on the silence. This will benefit you greatly! Again, it has much to
do with biochemistry.
6)
Work
Toward Happiness- I recently watched a TED talk where the speaker (sorry… I
can’t remember her name) studied happiness and concluded happy people do three things-
have an attitude of gratitude, avoid being perfectionist, and love fully without
concern of potentially being hurt. I’ve been giving it a try and finding it
very useful!
7)
Share-
Keep a journal of your recovery. Let other know what you’ve gone through and
what you find helpful. Start your own blog (why not!?). Begin a TONI (Toxins
Out, Nutrients In) group for your community. Do presentations and be brave with
sharing. The time for silence is over! Speak up and be heard!
I hope this is helpful. I’m not a medical pro and don’t have
plans to ever be one. If you are a medical pro and understand Morgellons,
PLEASE SPEAK UP! The general public, sufferers, and other medical pros needs to
hear from you. Help the healing happen instead of floating along allowing the
delusion of this condition being delusional continue.
I, like many of those volunteering time toward helping
sufferers, have not been talking much lately; we’re all feeling a little burnt
out. Forgive me for not be more regular in my communications and understand I’m
doing the best I can. We all want to see EVERYONE recover! You are NOT ALONE!
Peace, Joe
