This Body of Work

Health Adventures continue…

I’ve reached a new level in regards to my quest for getting to some root ‘causes’ of what I got goin’ on as of late! My chronic fatigue has plagued me for several years, soooo many years! And along with getting to the core issue, it takes finding the right health-care practitioner that can see it, totally gets-it, and can help you with it. I do believe I may have found her! (Yay!)

The search has been going on for what feels like decades… because it has been! But my search is (hopefully, because ya never know!) over. She barely even batted-an-eyelash when she immediately wanted to test me for EBV (Epstein Barr Virus). This critter has been in my periphery for many years; I always figured I might have a ‘little bit of this’ in my body because it’s been in the ‘household’ before. I was, however, still clueless to how much of this critter I was packin’ around. So, not exactly ‘new’ on my list of many things (like the H. Pylori and my nickel sensitivity) but wasn’t in the forefront either.

So, between the doc visit/blood draw, and the myriad of other testing I do between the not knowing to knowing… I am, again, at it with research and refreshing my memory on EBV info. Because whether it’s a little ‘blip’ or if it’s a huge ‘blob’ (of the viral load) – the verdict will be bringing me to a same core-result: it’s in me, period. And no matter how much is alive and hiding out, in stealth-mode and morphing – it all needs to be dealt with! Most of humanity (apparently some 90+%) has the EBV (at varying degrees), that’s a high percentage! And when you actually see that personal-result in black n’ white… it really brings it home.

My return doc visit goes well. We go over so much information and labs and this-n-that’s; but the big Kahuna is in fact: EBV. I will say – there was a brief moment where all I was hearing from her was ...bla bla bla... because I was literally having flash-backs and my timeline unrolling in my mind’s eye while she kept talking.

Was it shocking information? It was but it wasn’t. Did I always feel like this was a ‘thing’ for me? I felt that, yes. But the intensity of it? No clue. And hearing the actual results that it was all true… it was like I was taken to this moment in time that just stood still! So... it's true, it has now been officially identified, and I was simultaneously stunned and relieved. The emotional roller coaster ride I was on for the rest of the day was cray-zee! So much to process… I knew this was going to be a hot-minute!

She sends me on my way with a protocol and a few supplements to get started; I either already had the rest or would get them later. Seeing that this will be a month+ long, it’s also something I will be doing after the holidays.

And that is what January was. It was protocol month for me. There was physical aspects and there was emotional/mental healing work going on! This protocol and healing work flowed into February and right at the end of it all – my body physically expressed the purge! I came down with a flu-like ride that lasted a couple of (intense) days, then the ride-out of residual purging. Not needing to get into details – but this was actually long overdue for me. It has been over a decade since I have experienced any sickness that has taken me out longer than 24 hours (if even that).

I have been working really hard at cleaning-up and repairing my immune system (and body) for over a decade and love the fact that I was/am able to bat-away any pestilence that came my way! This, to me, is impressive especially since I have been having such issues with chronic fatigue (and now officially knowing EBV has been running around in my systems!) and some general methylation issues all this time! Fascinating, for sure.

I was expecting some sort of Herxheimer reactions, some sort of purge, and what I got was more extreme than I imagined! LOL! Yes, I was a bit pissy about it all at first, but through it all – I knew this was needed. The burn-off and releasing was needed… and I allowed.

I am regaining energy and there is more pep-in-my-step with each passing day. It does help that winter is melting-off and the promise of spring is not too far away! I feel there was a purge of dross and density, miasmic burden has been burned off; corrections and connections are happening on the constant. Thank you God!

It’s kind-of weird that I forgot what it’s like to be sick in bed, burning with fever, body aches and all the fun stuff that comes with the body’s external shut-down in order for it to fight its internal war(s). The micro to macro/macro to micro is relatable. The spiritual wars happening now, the war over consciousness, over the planet and the humans… my individual experience – as this comes through my lightbody layers and expressed ‘outwardly’ through my physical – it’s all to be observed, witnessed, transmuted through the body. EBV is a collective, pestilence is collective, wars are collective… my ancestral miasma is me, but it’s also a smaller-collective. All these things (and more) are bursting at their seams right now! And to say ‘I felt that’ is an understatement.

There is going to be a great deal of illness, sickness, dis-ease, and dropping-bodies in the next handful of years. The planet and humanity are fighting for liberation and freedom that goes way beyond these 3D systems and programs that have run amuck! ‘Their’ (negative agenda) world is crumbling in real-time! We have to process this… through ourselves in order to transmute to transcend. How many will understand this? I have no idea. The next few years will be interesting to observe, for sure! I, personally, will be taking things day by day – as we all should be! During these newly ascending times - the living in the moment is really true!

Life happens while you’re busy making plans… always thought that was a pretty accurate saying. My ‘plan’ is to continue building my strength – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual! Whatever life brings me while I am doing this… I allow. I trust in God, my Higher Self, where my heart guides me, and Universal/Natural Laws. You seriously can’t go wrong with any of that!

What did my protocol consist of? 6 weeks, of varied doses, of all these amazing supplements:

*Tagamet – was the ‘weird’ one for me. Who knew that an acid blocker has clout as an anti-viral! It’s cimetidine – and that is what has been found to have profound affects in treating viruses; specifically the herpes virus (which EBV is in that family).

*Monolaurin (aka glycerol monolaurate) is a medium chain fatty acid formed from lauric acid; coming from coconut – for the viral healing properties.

*Olive leaf extract (been used since ancient times) comes from the leaves of the olive tree (Olea europaea). There are a few bioactive compounds in the olive leaf but it’s oleuropein, one of the primary compounds, that seems to be the heavy-hitter: antiviral, antibacterial and has antifungal properties.

*L-Lysine is an amino acid that helps keep viruses (herpes virus) from replicating.

*Elderberry (tincture) blend (good ole elderberry for immune system strength); a blend that was also consisting of Osha root (tincture) and Lomatium (tincture) – these both (along with the awesomeness of elderberry) tote amazing respiratory and immune system benefits.

*The classics of the B vitamins, C, D, E, Selenium and Zinc

*The utilization of wonderful herbs/plants – as teas – chamomile, oregano, tulsi basil, pau d’ arco, cloves, ginger, and fire cider!

*Added-in, at the end of the protocol, was NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) and activated charcoal (at varied times). NAC was definitely utilized during the few days of feeling like crap!

It felt like there was days where all I was consuming was ‘pills’ (LOL!) but I followed my check-list and stayed on task with it all. During the few days of being down-n-out I had digestive distress going on that was keeping me from wanting anything! Even just eating small cups of soup was tough. Predominantly a liquid diet – there wasn’t any supplement action going on (through the fever) except for vitamin C and D.

It was after my hottest days… I was slowly incorporating back-in the supplementation that was resonating and my innate wanted. Even though I am technically done with the initial EBV protocol; I have everything I need to do any mini-sessions down the road if I ever am feeling ‘off’, stressed, tired, etc. This could be an annual thing for me – a detox and cleansing EBV protocol-style! The chronic fatigue red-flags will be my indicator if this is, in fact, a needed protocol for me.

Time will tell ☺
