I am having trouble with my anxiety. I need to be at home, but I am three hours away from my family and having to work to keep my insurance. I am so scared. I just cry all the time. I am begging someone to help me. I have tried to tell my family how bad off I am mentally. I try to read positive things, but then my symptoms change and I get scared again. I haven't been having any urgency, but today I came home and ate, and then I started feeling swelling in my rectum area and tiny little pains in my bladder area - something I usually don't feel, and it scared me.

Do any of you ever feel swelling in the rectum/vagina area?

I have been putting off having my wisdom teeth removed for a while. One of my teeth is starting to bother me. I don't want to put any chemicals in my body but have any of you had wisdom teeth removal surgery or dental work? If so, do they use harmful chemicals?

I have a question for you! The past two and a half weeks have been amazing! My energy has been good, heart rate stable and my bladder was doing very well. I am at the end of my fourth month in treatment then ... BAM! It feels as though I have hit a pocket of something or transitioned into another phase of cleansing. Does that make sense? I am experiencing more frequent elimination ( will I ever get used to discussing that topic...lol) bladder pain back and some heart rate spikes. I emailed Matia and we are working through it... so.... here is the question....

Hello everyone,

hi ic family,

from my understanding, this healing journey will be a slow one....meaning two steps forward and one step back.  i'm on a food group 1, i've been under dr. b's care for 2 1/2 months and i was wondering....when did you feel like the pain started going down?  i'd read many of the success stories and it looks like it took about 2 yrs to be almost completely recovered.  i don't mind the diet, but the pain i do.  it's still up there especially right before i start my cycle.  i know everyone's different, but i need some reassurance that manageable pain is nearby.  

Dear all,

I have my appt. on Wednesady but am sorry to say that I am having a major freak-out right now. My symptoms are so horrible and so much worse than previously that .....(I am struggling to contain myself). Can you please help me get my head in the right place for my appt.? 

Hi! I am moving to a new condo with a huge garden tub and I didn't know if any of you ladies took bubble baths or had certain "safe" recipes for a bath mixture I could use. If you know of anything, let me know! Thanks!

Hey question?  I have been using california baby shampoo. I noticed that someone had posted that it has coconut in it now. Does this mean it is not good to use anymore? Does anyone have any other suggestions for list one??  Jasons??  I used to not worry about my shampoo that much, I was using the whole foods brand until my hair started falling out and then I realized that it makes my scalp and hair really dry and may be contributing to it. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated! :)

thanks!!!
