March 2009
I am always preaching the ill effects of sugar substitutes, but this is a different look at the problem:

Once a person has struggled through treatment and has been able to regain a healthy
balance in his or her body, he or she may find themselves reflecting on the sacrifices
and losses that were endured during the years of suffering.
Thank you everyone for attending March's support group meeting. Again there were some technical difficulties, but, we made it through.
We had a few new patients join in and a lot of great questions came up.
It is increasingly apparent I think through these meetings how wonderful support can be.
People find common threads between them in the desire for understanding this condition,
and their own individual connection to it.
As you all know, I try to post a variety of helpful information on this blog-medical and non
medical. After all, getting back into balance and healthy is a mind/body prospect and
one should be trying to work on both when dealing with chronic health challenges.
A kind soul sent this to me today, and I was very touched by it. It gave me some peace
in my heart, which, I needed this week. So, to you who sent it, thank you for sharing it.
I wanted to in turn, share it with everyone:
Matia has been my doctor for almost two years and I am extremely grateful to her for guiding me through treatment and getting my health back. I'm not 100% symptom-free yet--I still need to take my herbs every day to feel well and I only recently got the green light to try list four foods, but my bladder feels great most of the time and I know that with her help I will eventually be able to maintain a state of wellness without any supplementation.
Will be this Saturday at 4 Pacific using the usual contact info. I look forward to speaking to all of you. IF you have particular subjects on your mind, please let me know in advance.

This last week and a half has been a little preoccupied. Many things going on. And
I will do more posts later today. But, I wanted to start the week and month out with an
important question that only each of you can answer! I would like those of you who use
the forum chat room to place comments on this post regarding your experiences with it. Has it helped? IF so, how? Do my blogs help? How has this site provided each of you with
support? And, how is that support different from ay support you have received elsewhere?
