Hi wooway,
Your question as I do not reply by private messages: I have been alkalizing, detoxifying (by various and extensive modalities, supplements, foods, juices, etc etc etc), cleansing, and eating raw food vegan (fruits/veggies/greens) for 7 years now. I am 28. I have been studying health/nutrition/exercise/fitness since I was 12, but only the REAL Truth since about 2001 on these matters, not the superficial information most dig in to..
MY QUESTION...
I agree it is SIMPLE to heal an organic illness, disease, etc. with alkalizing nutrition, juices, cleansing, etc. The body will heal and restore itself.. BUT,
what about an INJURY.. no one EVER addresses this issue. What are the capabilities of the body naturally, WITHOUT surgery, drugs, medical intervention, etc.
Example: A torn muscle... tendon injuries... ligament injuries...
MY EXAMPLE (which has yet to heal or fix or be self limiting) -
10/31/2007, I accidentally swallowed 2 PLASTIC FORK PRONGS, edged, that broke off and were accidentally swallowed when I was eating a salad. Within 2 days I had sharp and constant intestinal pain. I have been to 4 ER's, 3 gastroenterologists (through colonoscopy, I have ruled out the colon, and so the plastic is stuck int he small intestine..... 25 feet...), 1 surgeon for 3 visits for possible exploratory surgery (even though he thinks I'm nuts since there is no "PROOF"), 7-8 various scans that show nothing (plastic doesn't show up on scans, CT scans, Xrays, MRI's, etc... only metal and bone and fleshy/bloody materials.. so much for plastic foreign body ingestion... tough luck for us unfortunate ones who have odd and uncommon injuries and accidents..), dozens of emails to varius naturopaths/MDs/healers/etc, phone calls of the same, 2 letters to OPRAH, etc etc....
Here I am SEVEN MONTHS LATER and have no hope anymore of either A) my body purging the obviously lodged sharp plastic fork prongs... and/or B) a progressive House, MD type maverick DR who would even listen to me, give any credence to my rare accident being possible, believing that it could be stuck (NONE of the 8-10 MD's I have been to believe me, believe the plastic could have lodged, and all think I am nuts), and give me a localized surgery to check the pertinent pain area which has NOT moved at all, and is constant 24/7... I haven't sat in 7 months... I stand 18 hours a day.. I don't sleep, walking hurts... I am 28 and my life has been ruined, quite literally. I can't exercise, etc....
I have tried, literally, every naturopathic method, food, juice, herb, laxative, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, etc. to get it to dislodge and move through... I have had ONE MD via email, who postulated, probably correctly, that due to the time the PLASTIC PRONGS have been stuck, that the small intestine has absorbed or immeshed them into the inner layer of the intestinal wall and are now lodged and/or encapsulated, and probably DIFFICULT to locate via somekind of PillCam or exploratory surgery.... THIS IS VERY VERY VERY DISHEARTENING and makes me want to give up on life... I would rather have cancer, AIDS, a broken bone, diabetes, etc these things, while to most Americans are DIRE and horrible, are a GODSEND to me.. since they are easily diagnosible, treatable (naturally in most cases, or surgically in the case of the broken bone) and are easy to assess and fix.... something of what I am going through is RARE, UNCOMMON, and I have fell through the cracks of getting professional and competant help to heal me... whatever may be required, I am willing to do it... but the ONE surgeon I have talked to wants to explore the ENTIRE SMALL AND LARGE INTESTINE, which scares the heck out of me, the scar will be 6-8 inches, the hospital stay 3-5 days (which is THE most dangerous part and possibly not worth it), 2-3 months recovery/bed rest afterwards, and possible future complications of the intestines/obstruction, scar buildup, hernia, etc etc etc etc etc... So this surgeon MD refuses to just check the localized area of my pain, which I KNOW is where it is... he says it is referred pain, and doesn't believe anything I say... I say it is NOT referred pain, and that I DO understand that is a possibility in some cases, but not mine, since it has NOT moved since day 1, and when I press on the localized area, it hurts sharply, which referred pain would NOT do... So the surgeon, one of the few who might do an exploratory surgery, I don't know if I trust, and even he says the chances of finding anything are 1 in 1000!!!!!!!!! So he would be going into surgery already NOT believing me and therefore that would skew his finding antyhign and would probably not be thorugh, and in that case I had risked my health, my life potentially, and the possible real possibility of having went through ALL that pain suffering, recovery, and potential future complications, and then STILL have the plastic prong/s still dug into the intestine.... I would most likely end my life if that took place, quite honestly... And I am a VERY ambitious and outgoing and fun loving person... but this has ruined me... and my interactions with the corrupt and criminal medical system (western AND most "alternative" medicine... they are almost ALL closed minded, don't listen to the patient, and are pretty behind the times in info and progressive treatment/thought...)
PLEASE HELP MORELESS>.... you would flip if you realized what I have been through... try to empathize with me on this... No one other than my mom has.... uncommon things like this, which I can say are worse than most diseases you could imagine, COULD (and do) HAPPEN TO ANYONE.... and people suffering horrible and hard to fix things like this, which most times NEED outside medical help, which isnt gotten because the MD's don't believe you, and hence MY life and suffering or betterness are in THEIR HANDS, is horrible beyond words..... I have tried everything and ingested evrything I can try, I have prayed and visualized healing... etc
PLEASE HELP, Chris

Answer: Am I supposed to take your comments Literally or figuratively?
For if I take them Literally, then there are Contradictions and if I take them Figurativelly there are also Contradictions in what you have related to me?
But, to try to provide you an answer with the varied info you have supplied, the 1st thing you may want to consider is "WHY" does the body feel Pain?
Pain has a Cause for it being so !
When our Lymphatic Fluids become too Acidic, this may Cause our Nerves to not be able to make connection, which may be what Causes the Pain to be felt !
"WHY" is this so?
Nerves may work by Electro-magnetic Energy flows, which means that they must have a Media, which is able to carry the Electro-magnetic Energy Current flow !
When the media is too Acidic, this "Stops" the flow of signals, which may be what Causes "Pain" to be felt, as the Brain Senses this Short circuit and may relate to this Short Circuit as Pain !
Thus your Pain may be from your Lymphatic Fluids from becomming too Acidic, regardless any other considerations !
When the Flesh has cuts, injuries etc to it's self, this area of the body becomes too Acidic, producing the Pain one may feel !
When one learns to supply the body with the needed Alkaline Minerals, the injury may Heal and the short circuit may be filled in and the message may be sent to the Brain again, thus completeing the circuit, thus "Stopping" the Pain !
Until you learn to supply your body the needed Alkaline Mineral Specific Electro-magnetic Energies needed by your body in the area of your Pain, you may continue to Suffer?
Do a search in this forum using the search engine by typing in Key words and find the Detox Soak baths and you may find that they may Improve your conditions along with learning to eat a Better Diet !
Yeh ! I have already heard it "ALL" ! You think you eat Perfect !
Do yourself a favor and get a refractometer to test the foods you have been eating and learn just how Im-perfect you have been eating !
Cause and Effect !
"WE" are What "WE" Eat !
Smile Tis your choice.
