Hi Bex

I have learned a lot from your posts and someday this knowledge will help someone in need.

Sometimes I get very, very tired because I didn't get to have a nap. I believe in naps, even if it is for 10 minutes. Naps are refreshing and replenish energy. When I don't have one I don't have the energy to keep on going late at night. Since it is at night when I answer my emails when I am feeling very tired I don't answer them. But believe me, I read them no matter how tired I am and send little notes letting the person I read his/her post or email. I feel that if the person took the time to right, she/he deserves to know her efforts are appreciated.

As I read your post and all you have gone through, I begin to think of all my friends that are sick. Some are very sick and have found no answers in regular medicine or natural alternatives. Some like me and my family have found an answer in natural alternatives. Most of my friends are used to regular medicine getting them on their feet pretty quick and expect the same from natural alternatives. When a person is sick it is difficult to understand that it doesn't work that way. So, I am forever observing and writing down my findings. I am so grateful that Natural methods have worked for me and my family that I am forever sharing with people and some have been helped by things that are amazingly simple.

I have a friend right now that is quite sick. Her doctor told her that she has to have surgery because eventhough the blood work doesn't show cancer, the pain that she gets is exactly like the pain that comes with cancer. The pain is coming more often now and staying longer. My friend has spent thousands of dollars in Natural supplements but to no avail. In her last appointment her doctor told her that she has great damaged in her intestines linings. He wanted to know if she eats a lot of citrus fruits. My friend told him that she can't eat anything citrus because the pain attacks her so bad that she feels like she is going to die. But she confessed to him, finally, that she did a lot of intestinal cleanses. Different people told her about different cleanses and she would do them. Needless to tell you how angry her doctor got. Test are going to be done to see how much damage to the lining is there. She is very scared but it has to be done, she has to have an anestheric because she can't stand the pain. Her pain runs from the stomach to the rectum. I asked her how often did she do cleanses and she told me she did several in a two year period but she didn't remember how far apart she did them. Nobody told her she had to replace the good flora so, she had not taken probiotics. She can't eat much because the pain attacks, her diet is very limited. I am going to show her yours and maybe it will give her some ideas. We are trying to find ways that may help her as she doesn't want to have surgery.

Your post is most interesting tonight. It will take sometime to assimilate everything you have written. I will get back to you soon. I better go to sleep now. Take good care of yourself.
