This came across my computer today, I thought I would share because it is quite fascinating.
My name is Scott and in 2006 (when I was 41) I was suffering from symptoms typical of
a bad urinary tract infection off and on for over 6 months. My symptoms included pelvic
pressure (even after I urinate) urinary frequency and urgency, burning during and/or
after urination. I was also beginning to feel classic symptoms of IBS (Irritable Bowel
Syndrome), rectal itching, urgent bowel movements etc. These symptoms seemed to
“attack me” or “flare up” every week or two, and last anywhere from 3 to 10 days. It

I have posted a lot over the years on the power of one's own mind and belief. I think it was last year I posted about a book called Biology Of Belief, which, I really feel in love with speaking about the concepts of defying your own genetic make up and tendencies based on what it is YOU beleive. http://www.amazon.com/The-Biology-Belief-Unleashing-Consciousness/dp/140...
I know that I post post post and then I disappear for a bit before another go. What happens is that I post on things that inspire me and sometimes finding that insipiration is difficult. What we do here is so very stressful. I have been thinking about all the various things I could say in the last week and it all seemed redundant and oversaid. This morning, I received an email from someone, and this was after many other conversations on the phone this week that were similar and I suddenly that inspired me.

Interstingly a spoke to a long time patient yesterday and we had not spoken for a bit. In the time between our talks she had had a really bad case of pneumonia that she decided to treat with antibiotics. They gave her steroids as well. She happened to have an accident about a month after this and went to the ER. They took her bloods and did scans etc... to make sure she was OK. Low and behold her liver enzymes were through the roof. Then they did a liver scan and her liver had lesions that were unfamiliar and worrisome. She had to go to a liver specialist.
The reason I posted yesterday on Dampness is that it is a common pathology in chronic illness especially in those having situations that are very difficult to shift. Dampness is stagnant, just as it feels in nature. It is very very difficult to shift and clearing out of the systemic areas of the body can prove to be quite timely and frustrating.
