Hi all,
Just thought I would share my story in case it can help someone else.
Earlier this year I got a very bad bladder infection after starting a new relationship. I was determined not to take antibiotics, and instead went down the road of taking herbs and improving my general health and nutrition by improving my diet and taking mineral supplements.
My health, energy and general immunity improved greatly but it took a good three months to get rid of the infection.
Then, after reuniting with my ex-boyfriend recently, the infection returned with a vengence. Aaaargh!!! It wasn't as bad as the first time, but bad enough. And very disappointing after all my hard work to improve my health.
I tried things that had been helpful before, but they didn't seem to help much, and the infection was showing no sign of abating. Desperate for a remedy, I searched the internet once again. This time I looked into homeopathy, and was intrigued to read about one particular remedy, which was suggested for my symptoms and situation. The explanation also talked about repressed anger, which got me curious. I don't believe I have any particular anger issues, but my ex-boyfriend definitely does. So I thought - is it possible I 'caught' this energy from him???
Anyway, I had never considered a possible emotional/energetic component until I read about that homeopathic remedy. I then asked my guides for healing at an emotional level, and clearing of any emotional or other energies that may be contributing to the infection. From that point on, things seemed to improve and I am now taking the homeopathic remedy too. I am happy to say that the infection has abated to the extent that I am confident that I will be back to normal within the next week or so (I hope I'm not jinxing things by saying that!!!!)
I just wanted to share this because I'm sure that many others are like me in that we are inclined to look at things purely from the physical perspective, without considering that there may be other factors at play, that we may not even be aware of. And those factors may not even be our own 'stuff'!
So, if you've already made a big effort to improve your general health but aren't getting the results you want, I encourage you to consider the possibility that there may be another aspect to what you're experiencing.
Good luck!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I too had a debilitating ongoing ailment, liver failure due to RA (rheumatoid arthritis) an autoimmune disease that is incurable and progressive that is very difficult to treat and usually ends in death. I was put on this drug and that drug (all pharmacy stuff) and kept getting worse and worse and worse. I was given a very poor prognosis and was started on chemo therapy last year, which almost put me in the ground. I could not tolerate it and my health plummeted to being practically bedridden and facing death shortly. I decided to stop taking the chemo and waited for death and pretty much gave up. I decided to try to treat myself with homeopathic means after having a dream where an angel or being of some sort or spirit told me that I must stop just laying there and heal myself, because I had things I must do, I just had to remember....... and before long it began to work and I started to become healthier every day and could feel my strength coming back and my liver function improved to almost normal in three months time.
I do not think it was the herbs and stuff that I took that pulled my liver function "out of the crapper" however. I had much time to do some serious connecting with my higher self and even angels asking what to do. The answer came one day that I was ill because I unconsciously felt that I wanted to die because I had lost my joy for life and just wanted to shut myself away from people and just give up. I decided that if my will to live became stronger that I would make it, and started to try to think about all the things I could do in life to make a difference, and how I could share love and compassion with others, and that that was enough I guess. So I think by losing my "death wish" that that made all the difference. I feel in life that our health conditions happen to teach us something important that we need to know and that we subconsciously tell our bodies to become ill to "bitch-slap" us into looking deeper into ourselves to learn something that we are obviously missing.
So now when I feel sick I always look within first. It is funny too that sometimes our body signals are so obvious that it is ironic. Like when I used to have people hounding me all the time, I would get a stiff neck telling me that I felt like there was a monkey on my back....or if someone was being a real pain to me I would get an aching butt....which was telling me that the person was a pain in the ass, or if I felt torn between two people with conflicting needs then my shoulders would begin to ache like someone was pulling them out of their sockets....It is really funny when you think about the aches and pains we get....there is usually something going on in our life that we need to really focus on.
Thank you for sharing with us, what you have said is so true I believe.
Marique you astound me with your strength of character, and my complaints seem very small compared to what you've been through! I'm glad you found your will to live and that you are here to share your experiences with us : )
Your observations about your own body are interesting and insightful. I am only just learning to pay attention to what my body is telling me, for so long it was just habit to just plough on regardless. I didn't even notice that I was feeling tired - sounds silly but true! My poor old bod. I'm taking better care of it nowadays though.
thanks Marique : )
Hey Merryn,
I'm happy to hear that you've returned to good health and that you did try homeopathy. I had suggested this to you originally because my experience has proven to me that Like cures Like. Homeopathy does promote recognizing the emotional issues that cause the symptoms. And you were very astute to recognize what was going on. While herbs and minerals can help, they don't help to idenitify the emotional issue behind the physical condition. Btw, jinx's work only if you believe they do. :) Be well!
Busted lol !!!! Guess I was not ready for that information, and I take from that that it was necessary for me to do the hard yards first. Actually, I suspect it wouldn't have worked without working on my general health first. The same kind of thing applied to asking my guides for help - didn't seem to help before, but now it has.
Thanks LAF, hope you don't think your advice was wasted on me! ; )
