For a while now, I have been fighting an infection in my brain. I had have infections in many parts of my body but never in my brain. The infection in my brain causes headaches, dizziness, bouts of confusion, neck pain, neck stiffness, fatigue and hearing loss. I was on medicine, but then it was stopped. Although I was still quite sick, I was assured I was all better. After I stopped taking the medicine, the symptoms came back with a vengeance. Thankfully, I have been restarted on the medicine for the moment.
As I have been reading up on the infection, I found out when the micro-organism dies off, it produces the same symptoms as the infection. The toxins released by the micro-organism overwhelm the liver. Because the liver is not able to process all the toxins, the toxins then wreak havoc on the body. Thus, it is hard to know if the infection is getting better or worse.
I am a strong believer that all medicines have their counterpart in nature. I have been researching my infection and natural alternatives to the medicine I am taking. I stumbled across information about how to help the body better metabolize the toxins--magnesium, vitamin C, milk thistle, molybdenum, etc. Thankfully, I have everything except the molybdenum. This morning, I ordered molybdenum.
Moreover, I researched some of the supplements suggested to kill the micro-organism. I began one of them yesterday. After taking the supplement, my symptoms worsened. My head felt as though it was going to explode! This is to be excepted. As the micro-organism dies, it releases its poison. So, it seems, the supplement is working to kill off the micro-organism. I have two more supplements coming today which are suppose to help kill off the micro-organism. Perhaps I will be brave enough to try them, but I know, if they work, my health will become even worse.
There is always a fine line I walk between health and death. Once again, I am walking that line. If the infection is not killed off, it will most likely kill me. I wish things did not have to be so challenging, but at least there is a possibility I may soon be rid of the infection.
I am sorry to hear about the infection, it is good that you are getting treatment again.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in trouble I asked for help from people who I think can be called disciples or followers of Jesus. I did not meet them in person, I messaged them on Facebook and asked to pray for me. One of them was Anzhelika Bombushkar, who prayed for me with her husband. In the meantime, there was a war going on around them, as they lived in Ukraine. (I don't know much about them, it was a few years ago and I am not on Facebook so much anymore.) She knows English and I thought you could ask her to pray for you. I know my suggestion is a bit weird and it's totally up to you, but maybe you could describe your situation briefly and just ask her to pray for you. Here is her Facebook page: facebook.com/Anzhelika.Bombushkar/
May Jesus bless you!
Thank you so much for all the information. I really appreciate it. All my best to you.
