What Works

Knowing only blessings will come of this, and refusing to accept anything else. Acknowledge the blessings that have come of these challenges: Compassion, kindness, new friends, strengthened my faith, brought me more peace and focus of what is truly important.

A walking meditation is lovely, deep breathing (if possible), focusing on the beauty and wonder of nature, as you walk in silence.

I have discovered that if I am angry, I am always angriest with myself. Anger and bitterness is just not worth my happiness. Actually, nothing is worth my happiness.

I can choose my attitude. I can be as happy and optimistic and enthusiastic as I make up my mind to be. I choose happiness!

Every chance I get. Play ball with Sunshine, my healing angel. Dance even when the Spirit does not move me, because once I start dancing, the Spirit does move me. Ride my bike when I can - I feel like such a kid.

I laugh every chance I get. Instead of watching the depressing news (which 99% of I can do nothing about), I watch comedies, search for humorous sites on the web, read funny books. I never watch violent movies - I have had enough violence in my life to last a lifetime.

Focus my energy on what is before me - and I can choose on what is before me! I focus on my creativity, on the beauty of nature, on the wonder of my 3 angels, Sunshine, Thunder, & Lightning, who make me laugh and never cease to amaze me with the wonder of unconditional love and companionship. I only focus on my health when I absolutely must - otherwise, I just let it go. If my health comes to mind, I repeat a mantra to dissolve the thoughts and refocus on what is good, what makes me happy and content.

I am at a place in my life where I have no time for lies, half-truths, or other people's bullshit. What works for me is to matter-of-factly state my symptoms to a medical doctor, my multiple diagnoses, and present documentation, requesting that they might want to take a look at it. If they refuse, I walk away and find a medical doctor that will listen, hear me, and be open to the truth.

Know that where I am and who I am is a result of all of my previous choices, thoughts, actions, and exterior influences I have permitted in my life. Get over blaming - remember that silly thing your Mother always showed you? When you point a finger at someone else, you have three fingers pointing back at you!

Whatever I like or dislike in others is a reflection of something in me, whether it is the size of a boulder or the size of a grain of sand - I immediately look within to see what brought up this emotional reaction for me.

Know that I can change myself, my attitude, and my actions to make a better world and to be a better example - at least, the best example I can be at the time.

I swab pure Hydrogen Peroxide onto every cut or scratch immediately. I swab again every few hours. I follow the hydrogen peroxide with a coat of Triple Antibiotic (3-in-1) ointment. I continue this until all redness is gone and healing is almost complete.

Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant which gives me energy. I take 3,000 mgs in the morning, & 3, 000 mgs in late afternoon. If I stop it for a week, I notice a major drop in energy.

I take 3 capsules a day for two to four weeks at a time. For me, this has helped to flush silicone out of my system in the form of black plastic feces. I do not take this all of the time. As of 2003 and 2004, it causes the silicone molecules to clump into hard masses, so I have stopped it until my intuition guides me to do otherwise.

Informing physicians by doing research, bringing medical diagnoses, along with pain and episode journals to medical appointments.

My chiropractor, Dr. Mha Atma, suggested I begin taking this prior to my bi-lateral mastectomy. I started three weeks prior to surgery. The pre-op nurse was in total disbelief when my blood-oxygen level was 98%! She kept testing me; the results were the same.

I have begun taking Co-Enzyme Q-10 several days ago (August 15, 2000) because of the silicone in my lungs and struggling to breathe. My breathing has drastically improved in less than a week. The 'good stuff' is quite expensive and not covered by insurance coverage, but it is worth every penny.

CoQ10 exists in every cell in the body. Sources say it is the key to the process that produces 95% of cellular energy. It produces the energy our bodies need and acts as an antioxidant to defend ourselves from toxic free-radicals that damage our cells and age our mind and body.

According to Robert C. Atkins's, M.D. book Vita-Nutrient Solution (1998), CoQ10 can "enhance our immune defenses, making it extremely important [in] preventing and treating heart disease, diabetes, periodontal disease, high-blood pressure, obesity, cancer, and a growing list of neurological conditions."

CoQ10 has an important role as an electron messenger, a process called mitochondrial respiration, where the oxidation of the food we eat leads to the generation of volts of energy. During this process, chemical mistakes occur and free radicals may be produced that can damage DNA, oxidize lipids and proteins, and increase the risk of heart disease and cancer, dementia, and accelerated aging.

CoQ10 as an antioxidant allows for the protection of proteins, lipids, and DNA of mitochondria from oxidation and prevents mitochondrial damage. CoQ10 is an important defense system in tissues and muscles, including the heart, which have large numbers of mitochondria.

According to Dr. William Lee, R., Ph.D., author of the book, Coenzyme Q10: Is It Our New Foundation of Youth?, CoQ10 has actually been shown to have direct anti-aging effects, and may play a role in decelerating the aging process. By supplementing dwindling enzymes with CoQ10, people can correct age-related declines in the immune system, and increase energy and exercise tolerance, prolonging life expectancy.

At an international conference in Boston, several studies on the role of CoQ10 in the prevention and treatment of diseases were discussed.

*One U.S. study reported that patients with chronic fatigue immune deficiency syndrome (CFIDS) showed a substantial increase in their ability to exercise after receiving high doses of CoQ10 supplements (100 or 300 mg / day) for 180 days. Once the CoQ10 was withdrawn, their response returned to the pre-treatment condition.

* In an experimental model, a study from Australia showed CoQ10 to improve tolerance to aerobic stress during exercise. The same lab reported that CoQ10 treatment of human heart muscle from elderly patients restored the heart's contractibility equal to that of a young heart that was not treated with CoQ10.

* A study from India showed that 144 patients with heart disease (acute myocardial infarction) showed significant improvement, a reduction in both blood pressure and blood lipids, when CoQ10 supplements were given, 60 mg a day for 4 weeks.

Studies show that oral supplementation with CoQ10 will restore depleted CoQ10 stores in cells and tissues through the mitochondria where they enhance cellular energy production and sustainability. In its ability to scavenge free radicals, CoQ10 reduces the risks of atherosclerosis and some neurological diseases. CoQ10 is the 'everywhere' compound, the antioxidant powerhouse for cellular energy.
