Thank you!

It's my pleasure for sure. I am grateful every day that I found curezone. My how my life and the lives of those around me are changing.

My mother and I both described each other as the "walking dead." Neither of us said we were sick ... just not well and even little things like getting out of bed was a challenge. My mother has always been a vibrant, energetic woman who got all dressed up every day, put on her makeup, and always looked like a movie star (literally - people still ask her if she's Eydie Gorme or Ann Miller especially on airplanes). These last few months, she's not been wearing makeup very often, and some days stayed in her pajamas all day long.

This weekend she went out and bought a new wig with blonde streaks and bangs and is acting like a teenager. She's been working in the yard and talking about cleaning out closets and volunteering at the hospital. It's amazing to see the transition. She even bought herself some false eyelashes. Lordy, where will this end. :)

For years she was totally pro-medicine and defended doctors to the death, and thought my journey and study of alternatives and thinking outside the medical box was just a fad. Lord knows, I've come up with some doozey things to try. Makes me blush just thinking about them.

But slowly she began to listen and then I convinced her to do a parasite cleanse with me. Then I bought some iodine, and CoQ10, and convinced her to go with me to the doctor to get bio-identical hormones. With each new thing I suggested, she felt better and better and I gained more and more credibility. This weekend my middle sister (I have 2 sisters) was even asking me questions about alternative-type remedies and has decided to try oil pulling and we gave her a little bottle of Lugol's iodine.

Years ago, when I first discovered I had Lupus I wanted to die because I was never out of pain. I considered suicide more than once. I asked a friend to pray with me and we asked God to heal me in a way that I could help others. Many times I've wished I'd just asked God to heal me and get it over with because the journey has been slow and painful at times, but with each new thing I learn, I'm able to help others either as something that works or something that doesn't. And slowly in the process I'm healing myself (with God's help of course) and my mother ... and son, and sisters, and brother-in-law, and friends, and neighbors, etc., etc.

My mother is way ahead of me as far as feeling better, but I'm not giving up. I've had many more years of illness, medications and mercury residue to still deal with, but just seeing her transition encourages and gratifies me. Who said, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"? Not true in this case.

I appreciate your kudos and encouragement and hope along the way I can help somebody here. The help I've gotten from curezone and the people herein has been immeasurable.

Hugs to you all ...
