Self Healing

[grendel 44]

I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on the power of mind over matter. I have several things wrong with me and try to keep a positive attitude about them, but the progression of these diseases (diabetes, hep-c and all the complications that go with) does not seem to slow down. My liver is just screwing up all sorts of things. I barfed gallons of blood around christmas time and that scared the crap out of me.

I am reading "Autobiography of a Yogi" right now, but being a born sceptic, I am having a hard time believing that these yogis can do some of the things they do. I was raised by a magician who spent a lot of time debunking so called psychics. He could always show how these things were done by tricks and illusions. Therefore I always look for a physical method of doing things like levitating, communing with the dead and so on.

Any advice would be more than welcome, just keepin mind that I cannot give myself over to a greater spirit that I do not believe in. I believe in a collective conciousness that we have lost touch with in our modern ways.

Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it.

I've got a ghost in this pc machine, Grendel. I was posting a long reply to this thread to you Sunday morning. Almost had it finished too... when the phone lines went down for the day....

I've used my own combination of guided imagery and organ, tissue re-creation.

But, I don't think that I'm supposed to share it on the open web... and my computer has done this to me consistently! So as soon as I get myself together, I'll email you the technique I've used and see if you can't develop your own method off of known physiology and pathophysiology, self hypnosis, and self induced altered state. I don't like the idea of inviting someone else into my own altered state. No matter the relationship or the intent, there is always the possibility of manipulation and misdirection.

I started by cutting myself a wand of dogwood branch. I attached baby cardinal wings to the shaft near the tip. (wings courtesy of Ozzie Lightfoot, the cat) On the tip I wired a quartz crytal point, and put 3 sleigh bells under the wings.

I made up a chant for myself, and shook the wand in time to: "Heal body, heal. Heal body, heal. Get the hepatitis, it's just a little virus. Heal body, heal."

Yeah, I know. Silly. But it did begin, by repetition, to let me get into inner contact with myself. You did ask, but, let me know if you want me to send you a tome.

Love,
Sam

I dunno Sam, I think I need to be able to meditate, which I have never really been able to do, in order to achieve anything. Send me the stuff when you have the time. It may open my eyes and I am ready for that to happen.

Glad you have a new puppy, girl or boy? What kind? Pets are so healing. Sometimes our cat (Liam) just gets on the bed with me and curls up against my heart and licks my arm. He hears my heartbeat and he purrs. Animals are smarter than humans in so many ways. Your puppy will help you heal from Annie's death too, just wait and see, so will Raven, I have the feeling that you and Raven are very much alike which is why she was so difficult to get along with at first, but I think you and Raven will have a rare attachment eventually.

Love ya babe.

I'll do that, Gren. It's not a true meditation, sort of a practiced familiarity with imagining... say, the physiology of your liver in Real Time. How the virus works to block the immuno-initiator protein, and how you can reduce the viral presence in your body by releasing the proper endochemicals to rob it of its strategy. Then by learning to access the signals to your hypothalamus from all parts of your body, and reading their positive or negative feedback, you can begin to alter the release of neurotransmitters to go about doing their work. Then you can step outside of the process, and allow your body to begin to heal and recreate itself slowly but steadily.

The new pup! He's a boy, and he's gonna stay that way. Cody is cross between a Newfoundland momma and black German Shepard daddy. His daddy is 120 lb. and his momma is still growing. His black paws are Huge! They sort of get where he's going a minute before the rest of him does.

Cody's very, very mellow. He's sleeping at my feet now. He's been at my side or stepping on the back of my flip-flops since we got him yesterday morning. Raven nuzzled his head this morning. It was so delightfully heartening to watch the two of them getting together as I sat there milking Joline.

He's gonna be big and male. And we need more of the yang here anyway. He certainly seems to be providing the missing calm energy. I had grabbed a fold of Annie's side as she left us... I find myself doing this to Cody as I sit and allow those feelings of helplessness to settle into a comfortable place in my brainbox. I'd call that healing.

I felt him out there somewhere... waiting to be found by us, on Saturday, and he's slipped into the routine around here quite nicely. It was a good decision to meet up with him... I'm hoping for the best, and smiling as those good things begin to appear when Cody is around.

Mellow. Very, very mellow.

Talk to you soon,
Sam

Doobie: Thanks for the info. I have been taking milk thistle and a lot of antioxidants (they are good for diabetes). I will try and go further with this. Mother earth has unlimited power to heal, we just have to find it. I think also that Sam really has something going, the power of the mind is an awesome thing.

I am having a difficult time entering mine. I am just SO sceptical, can't help it, I was raised that way and my father had a way of explaining almost anything in a way that showed how it occured. He was really into Houdini and his quest for contacting the other side, so he (Houdini), after his mother had died, made it his lifes work to find out if it was possible. He uncovered many so called spritualists as frauds and went to his death promising that if it were possible he would make contact from the other side. Many of the old magicians still have a seance on October 31st to try and make contact with him, but it has never happened.

I think my father would have made contact if it was possible,but he never did. The only thing like that happened to me some years ago. A good friend commited suicide and on the night of his funeral he appeared in a dream (I think) at the end of my bed and told me he was OK and was finally happy.

Thanks for listening.


Blessed be.

Just wanted to add...

On the CT's I had taken of yearly progress of my pulmonary fibrosis, the last one showed a decrease of fibrotic, bi-baselar banding by almost an inch.

The surgeon who did my colon cancer resection showed me how to reduce the blood supply to the surgical area the night before surgery. I've practiced it, and when I had the titanium posts put into my lower jaw, the Dentist said to me, "OK, now cut the flow of blood... I know you can, I've seen you do it."

Yes, the power of the mind, and the ability to develop these simple skills is awesome. Sometimes the only way to deal with a chronic, potentially fatal disease, is by changing the physical structure of your diseased organs from within.

Adding to your chemistry set, or taking things away by diet, avail only temporary measures at best, and most of the herbs that I've used over the years have a limited time before they stop working. This is important to keep in mind when you're dealing with a chronic illness which can't be treated by conventional or alternative methods.

You are, in actuality, re-creating your body in the healthier image you are picturing with your spirit and your belief in yourself. You can begin to recreate your own liver over time, if you begin the process and kick start it every once in a while.

I don't know... it works for me... but then again....

I am curently studdying inner guidence development cool stuff if ya check out www.oralin.com/

[hepper]

I also have hep c and know how you feel. I finished treatment in Jan. this year and let me tell you it was no fun . I'm not one two take many pills I ended up doing 114 pill a week and giving myself 4 to 5 injections a week. MY hep came back in May with a viral load of 6 million. I know that many meds in your body takes a lot out of a person. I have a hard time remembering thing. It would be nice to get out of this body once and a while and leave it all behind and clean the mind.

[ozzy63347]

Hey but look in to astro traveling it can be wild.... also many types of meditation

[grendel 44]

thanks everyone. You have given me some good advice. Eggs and oatmeal though! I don't think so, do you wave your arms and squawk like a chicken too? (LOL).

Hepper, You sound as if you are in the same boat as me. I went through six months of Interferon with no sucess, then I year of interferon and ribovirin, that did not work either and they currently have nothing else. That was pure hell, taking things that you know are going to make you sick as a dog. Oh well, life goes on, just gotta go with the flow I guess. I also have diabetes that has done a lot of damage and several surgeries to save my foot, it all takes a lot out of you. So, be good to yourself.

[ozzy63347]

never know till ya try it out

never know till ya try it outHey Ozzy, I thank You for your contributions to this thread too.

And you're correct in your statement above... but look at our ages here... 58, 59, 53... and we've, all three of us, had this devastating disease for years and years.

I got Hep C in 1972. That's 32 years that I've been dealing with it. And I have tried all sorts of things... all sorts of things. But I find that my Mind is my very best friend in this.

Hepper... I gave myself belly injections for 1 year... those injections nearly killed me. Made me more ill than the hepatitis... I'm 5'9" and I got down to 102 lbs. I looked like a concentration camp survivor for a long while. But it does go away... the effects of the medications. Took about a year and a half for me, I hope you recover from the adverse reactions sooner.

The thing of it is... that after having this virus eat away at your liver, brain and other organs for over 30 years, we're nearing critical mass. I think in medical terms we are fitting into the term; "End Stage hepatitis sequalae." = liver cancer, cirrhrosis, esophageal varicies, peripheral neuropathies, blood disorders, brain damage... all those real nice things of life, that make everyday a pleasure to live through.

Anyway... have as good of a day as you can fellow hep c'ers... it feels comforting to know that I'm not the only one fighting this disease today.

[hepper]

Thast's all we can do is take it one day at a time and some times one minute at a time.
This stuff just eats away at our body slowly. My white matter is starting to disapear , so if sometime I post and don't make any sense, you all know why LOL. Can some one tell me the name of a good book to start meditation so I can try to get it back a little,
grendel, Yea we sound like we're going through the same step and now we just have to wait. This is very depressing at times , but it has given me a better outlook on what going on a round me . I've slowed a lot and enjoying life the best I can, and I will not stop.
I was in DC for the hep-c awareness march and met a lot nice people that also have this stuff. We had bands playing from 1pm till 8pm and gave out home test kit voucher for people who want to get tested without someone else knowing about it. We gave out 1500 vouchers and if you know anyone that might want one I have some left over . Just let me know.

Good Morning, Hepper...

Yes, we have to slow ourselves down somewhat, compared to what we used to be. I've learned to pay attention to what my body needs, and when it needs rest, I give it rest. But I won't stop going, that's a death certificate.

A really good book to get into, to find out about the Real Power of your mind/brain connection is:

"The Mind and The Brain, Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force"...
by Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., and Sharon Begley.

Now this sounds technical at first glance, but it really isn't. I'll quote a review given by George Gilder, author of Microcosm and Telecosm;

"A stirring refutation of the materialist superstition that grips the world of behavioralism and denies the primacy of mind over brain. Bringing to bear exciting new findings from quantum physics and neuroscience, the authors have performed a daring rescue of the concept of the free human will."

Basically, Schwatz's work with developing new,physical neural connections that can deny the faulty brain signals given by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder people, and establish new connections visible on PET scans, shows that the mind can truly and physically alter the physical matter of the brain. I figure that if the Mind can alter neural networks, it can also alter other organs in the body too. I proven it to my Doctors and my relatives who already had me in my grave years ago.

It gives independent conformation to my experience of changing and recreating my liver, lungs, and nerve networks to reduce the effects of viral invasion.

All in all, a truly good read for anyone who thinks we are the victims of our own environments... both the physical and the psychological environs we live with and in. I'm half way through this book and find that it is written in a conversational and fully understandable way. I'm enjoying finding out that I really do have the power to change the so called "unchangeable". NO, and I mean absolutely No, Namby-Pamby, Mumbo-Jumbo... this is the Real Poop here.
