Layers

Posted by Leanne on May 22nd, 2009 | no comments

As I look at my journey to optimal health, the thing that comes to mind is layers.  Layer after layer after layer.  Five years ago, I thought that all of my health problems had to be centered around only one issue, but that was certainly not the case as I quickly found out.  Many people also feel that only one condition must be the reason why they feel the way they do; they will quickly become discouraged when they find another layer beneath the one they just took care of.  I have heard that you can liken healing to an onion peel.  As you peel off one layer, their lies another one.  Of course, you do eventually get to the vegetable and can start “cooking”.

My first layer was candida (or at least that was the one I tackled first).  I saw a large improvement, but I wasn’t quite where I wanted to be.  The next layer I tackled was parasites – that was a doozy!  I had no idea that a person could be so affected for so long and have absolutely no idea.  Another set of problems was solved, though.  After the parasites, I dealt with a heavy metal toxicity.  I picked up Uranium somewhere (yes, uranium).  My husband always thought I had a radioactive aspect to my personality <grin>.  And, yet, even after that there were still layers to work through.  I needed to enhance my nutrition – all the years of candida and parasites had eaten into my reserves.  My adrenal glands needed support, too.  I also had to flush the liver and gall bladder, deal with a hormonal imbalance and, now, I am dealing with an inflammatory issue.  I am hopeful that this is the last issue I will need to “fix” before I can just start to live.

Yes, it has been a long haul.  Has it been worth it….?  Absolutely!! 

Every day I see my children, share in their dreams and help them along the way as they travel toward being an adult.  I want to be there every step of the way and I pray that I will be healthy.  I figure God won’t mind if I help myself along the way!
