My World Is Crashing All Around Me.

We always think that the worst cannot happen to us.It only happens to others right?
Thank you for letting us know. We can only pray for you the least that I can. Hope the person upstairs will here from a sinner

Dear EatingCrow,
I commend you for having the courage to write your story & seek healing- in & of itself an empowering move. 
MsHopeandChange gave you great advice! I'd like to add that in my experience, as someone who eats only healthy foods- natural, organic, wild caught, preservative-free, high fructose corn sugar-free, artificial flavor & color-free, even paraben-free organic/safe toiletries, fragrances, & cosmetics & has gone gluten-free- I still had undiagnosed vitamin deficiencies! It's estimated that 80% of Americans do. ! 
Since treating them I've experienced astounding changes. I won't go on & on about them because this is about you m'dear. Suffice it to say based on my experience - & millions like me- I feel confident you can recover completely & feel better than ever!

The best brands of vitamins & minerals I've found (recommended by my brilliant Doctor of Chiropractic) are Pure Encapsulations and Thorne Research- they are safer for your son too. All available through Amazon or iHerb (can get their code for further discounts) at best prices. 
For god's sake stay away from the cheap Walmart brands & even GNC which are a expensive versions of cheap, nasty, toxic-load-on-the-liver, synthetic "vitamins". Ugh. 

Please do your research. I'm not qualified to diagnose/advise you medically and therefore can only tell you what I've discovered which works for me: Vitamin D/K, B complex, B12 (especially vital for spleen!), C, magnesium chloride in spray form, & others including herbal tinctures for liver cleansing, adrenal support, & care of your spleen.
Note: B & C must be taken at different times as C adversely affects B absorption. 

D/K & magnesium are both vital- to balance each other. (also, if you have sore muscles the mag chloride spray can be a huge help!) 

Please be aware that magnesium chloride spray is recommended over oral caps/powder/tabs to get your levels back up because it's easily assimiliable &  doesn't cause diarrhea like other types do which prevents overcoming deficiency.  

Vital for spleen is B12. Pure Encapsulations B12 5000 works well for me. 
Please note B12 Methylcobalamin (see above) is recommended as superior over the more commonly used (cheaper to produce/yielding greater profit) Cyanocobalamin- which is administered in hospital/doctor's B12 injections (often along with a host of nasties such as mercury!).

Vitamin D is recommended for lung problems and fending off 'flu, pneumonia. Must be balanced with Magnesium (preferably magnesium chloride spray).

Please consider: using Zechstein sourced brands such as Ancient Minerals, Life-flo, Dr Barbara Hendel's as there is concern about lead in cheaper Utah sourced formulations. 

Lots of water is great suggestion- I'll add, Spring Water as even filtered tap water has toxic Fluoride in it! Research that too: calcification of pineal gland & other various horrors. Ack. 

You're still very young & stand an excellent chance of not only returning your body to basic health but actually attaining excellent health by addressing what your body is most likely crying out for- nutrition, not surgery.

Please note: all of the above are essential to consider & research for everyone dealing with Alzheimer's, Dementia, Bipolar, Borderline, cancer (small darn c!), tooth/dental problems, etc etc. 

An inspiring video to watch- may borrow from your local library, buy 2nd hand copy from Amazon, watch on Netflix- is Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead. True story of amusing Aussie regaining his health without surgery through juicing. I find Joe Cross very funny & juicing works. Great for liver & spleen detox. 

If you need a juicer & cannot afford one please consider requesting the gift of a free recycled one through Freecycle.org or Craigs List- simply wash & disinfect before using. If you sign up- please consider using a free disposable (yahoo, etc) email address to protect your personal accounts from spamming &/or phishing etc. 

You might even be able to arrange to have a payment plan with an excellent Wholistic or Naturopathic Doctor- go in person and plea your case (could offer to pay in installments & write a positive account of your journey to health for their website). Though not de rigueur you Are fighting for your life. And that of your son's mother. No holds barred. 

Please don't allow lack of funds to deprive you of excellent care. 

Please do Not have surgery to remove Anything or take Any prescription drugs (all have dreadful side effects for some people!) unless you've had a second opinion from progressive allopathic doctor & third opinion from an excellent Naturopathic Doctor, and worked diligently on detox & vitamin supplementation to proper levels and that is your absolute Last hope.  

When we've done everything possible to heal via safe, natural means we can then take heart that we've discharged our duty to protect ourselves to the utmost and can then try the more dangerous remedies with a clear conscience. And having built one's body up with greater nutrition one is much more likely to have a successful surgical procedure & recovery. 

You have every right (indeed some may say obligation) to protect your health and can negotiate with doctors as to your course of treatment. I understand the torture of living with pain but perhaps you'll find that treating your vitamin deficiencies heals the problem completely without need for any medical or surgical intervention. 

As amazing as modern medical technology truly is, it is astounding to the same degree how utterly ignorant we allow the medical community to remain just because it can't profit from treating vitamin deficiencies as it profits from prescribing drugs & performing unnecessary surgeries on us. 

Please note: US levels considered vitamin deficient are far lower in many cases than levels considered deficient overseas. This means Americans are being told their levels are fine but are actually deficient enough to cause problems! And many deficiencies cannot yet be properly & accurately tested. 

We must be our own advocates- ask questions, research, and sometimes lead our own treatment when we discover we have safer, healthier, gentler options which are just as/even more efficacious as invasive, dangerous "treatments".

It's wonderful to have the comfort of prayer if one believes in it's efficacy (I do) yet the above can give miraculous results to people of any or no faith. 

I wish you and yours the (attainable) miracle of regaining your health & enjoying a life-time of excellent health. 

Wishing You a Beautiful Life. 

I have been there, where you are..feeling like everything is happening at once. You will get thru this and be a stonger person mentally and physically. Do what you need to do for your body. You have a son and family who love you and alot of life ahead of you..its ok to feel sorry for yourself, your human, one day at a time..you will get to a better place before you know it hon.....55 and female..wife, stepmom, stepnana

Watch the film "Hungry for Change". It talks about how all illness is preventable with vitamin therapy and eating right. Get off of all white things, sugar, white bread, white rice, those things along with the drinking in the past have poisoned your system. Drink a ton of water. Make sure you get more than one opinion on your condition, doctors make mistakes. But if it is life threatening, then do the fluid drain and then go on an extreme superfood diet program. Your spleen is an extra cleaning organ, your liver is the main cleaning organ, you can live without your spleen, but don't let go of it just because one doctor says too. I don't trust doctors. I worked in the pharmaceutical industry and saw things I was not impressed with. Doctors are just as greedy as the big pharma companies , they see dollar signs with surgery. They fill you up with pills that eventually kill you , drugs that are synthetic concoctions of crap that most of our bodies do not need. The food industry puts chemicals in our food to hurt our bodies,
Eat natural foods, whole foods the foods God gave us. And you will feel healthier and more alive than ever. Do it for your little boy too, he will thank you later with vibrant health!

Let nature heal your body along with minimal doctors help, this is the way it should be. People view doctors as Gods and all knowing. My doctor understands me and works with me and we both come to a conclusion about what is best for me. I rarely get sick and rarely see the doctor. I had drank a lot in my 20 to 50 time span, I am older than that now but I belive in relative good health.

Research things online and find all facts before you rush to surgery and spleen removal. I hope some of this helps you.

Remember where your secret power comes from? hold on to that! in times like this, we look at the bright side of life.

May You find the Spirits to fight back all odds.
CHEERS.
Prayers for Your son n You.

Don't worry, the God who gave you the life, he will surely give you a remedy for your sickness. There are people out there who had suffered the same or worse than that but still got well and are pushing on with life. Just believe the Lord will heel you, I don't know how or when but I have a deep feeling inside me that you will be well to take care of that young boy. Am praying for you and remember there is always a light at the end of the turnel...do not ever think that God has abundoned you...NEVER He is just beside you..coz he promissed he will be with you till the end of ages..and surely He will!!

I am an atheist, so I can/will not pray for you, but be sure that I think of you a lot...

My thoughts are with you.

Please consider watching Dr. Tent on YouTube. He clearly defines detox and health options for our poor, overwrought systems, and talks about liver cleansing agents. I'm only 36, yet am too broken down, physically, to go on without heeding his advice. I have 6 children to care for, and wish you all the best with your little boy. My whole family just got over the norovirus.

Praying for you and sending love and good wishes your way. I have been in circumstances such as yours with major health issues, no health insurance or money and no where to turn. I know how difficult this type of situation really is, especially when you have children to care for. This may seem impossible to believe now but you will get through this in time and things will work out for you. Trust me, when it rains it pours but the sun will shine on your life again soon.

Just read this I am sending you a prayer that you are going to be on the way to improving your health. Finding out was the step to now healing.

How was the draining therapy? Sounds like horror to me.

Geez Nee! That is shocking news! What can we do for you?

Im soo sorry to hear this news dear :( I will pray for you my friend.......Love, Billy

Oh Nee this is very sad to hear. I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers. Please be well, and hopefully J-man too. Let us know if you need anything....There are many ways we can help....even if its just consolation. We love you!

im sorry to hear of your illness..you are in my thoughts and prayers..get well soon..love and peace to you..

It is so difficult to ask for help, Nee. But it takes courage to do so. love you. Nee. xoxo

I've been through some nasty emotional battles of my own and have had to realize that there is nothing wrong with realizing you can't do it all by yourself

Honey. You have ascites. It can be drained. I wish I could help you. They drain it at the bedside after sedating you. Sometimes you need to go to the operating room, but not usually. I love you, Nee. God. I will find some way to help....Hugsssssssssssssssssss....Kissesssssssssssssssssssssssss....xoxoxoxo

That is horrible news. I will keep you in my thoughts. I hope the power of positive thoughts help you. I drink too much as well.....might be a good idea for me to reevaluate my weekend recreation habits.

I hope things get better soon,best of luck hope all works itself out.
