I just thought I'd update you on my Dr's appt! I went to the homeopathic Dr today that I told you about last wk.....it was WORSHIPFUL!!!!!! There's no other way to describe it!
I was nervous about it, before I got there....just the whole "eastern medicine" strangeness. But, knowing Jesus, there was NOTHING strange about it!!! It all made perfect sense.....and caused Jason and I both to worship!
When I go to a "normal" Dr, I usually leave discouraged.....feeling somewhat helpless....and that my body is just a deteriorating mush of sin.
Today, I left with what I would consider a more God-centered perspective. I know my body will not get "younger" - and it will continue to deteriorate because of our fallen bodies. However, I felt like my BODY (as a whole) was understood, and was addressed with how our God designed it!! The Lord made it to function ALL TOGETHER (when one part isn't working right it must effect other parts...makes sense, right?). And because of the way our body is designed by the Lord, it doesn't make sense to treat the symptoms and not the cause or root of the problem...right? (Note: I'm not assuming that ALL symptoms have a deeper issue, and I do believe that "normal" Dr's have a significant place in medicine).
I think the most amazing part of it all is that it wasn't the Dr "telling me what he thought might be wrong"....it was my body "telling him"!!!! There was no "well, we can try this or that". I watched my body "respond" to certain treatments and not to others.....so I left the office (a THREE hour visit...what Dr do you know that would EVER give you THAT kind of time??!!) confident in the herbs he sent me home with because I watched my body say "yes, these"...."not these"!!!
Sounds CRAZY...I know! I don't know how to explain it, but I'm going to try!!!! Basically, he spent an hour "balancing my body". He would ask me to resist his pressure on my arm.....I would, and I could. Then he'd press on a pressure point in different places on my body, ask me to resist his pressure on my arm, and if I was unable to resist, he'd use accupunture (with his hands...not a needle!!), and then try to get me to resist his pressure on my arm again.....and I'd be able to (there were a couple of times that I couldn't, and he'd have to do more acupuncture for it to work)!!!!!
After he spent an hour going around my body, "balancing" it...then he started putting different "causals" near my body and using the same "resistance" method. If my body could resist, then the "causal" (such as mold, fungus, ect) wasn't a problem for me. If I couldn't resist, then it was a problem for me.
THEN when he found the "causals", he'd put different "treatments" next to my body, and if my body resisted, then it was a good treatment. If my body wasn't able to resist, then it wasn't what my body needed!
The topper?! He found that my body was fighting a fungus....probably caused by a parasite. He put all the parasite treatments next to my body, and my body didn't want any of them. STRANGE! So, he just said that it might just not be where my body wants to focus right now (there were other things that my body WAS responding to and wanting), and that taking something would help, BUT would probably make me sick. So, we opted out! Well, as we were leaving, I realized I never made it clear that I was nursing (WOOPS!). So, I just asked if it was OK if I took the supplements while nursing, and.....drumroll.....more worship!!!!!!.....he laughed, and said THAT is why your body didn't want to receive the treatment for the parasites!!! It wouldn't be safe to "stir" those up while I'm nursing!
Are you as amazed as I am??!!!

I'm so glad you had a postive experience. We have become so insensitized to all things truly spiritual, by training, by society, by life's cares that cloud our mind, that we are "out of tune". I think, that if it was a perfect world, we wouldn't need some of the "helps" that we need now to keep us on track. Remember, the priests in the Old Testament relied on the Urim and the Thummim to direct them. It is little different then what the homeopath used to help your body tell him what was wrong. We're pleased that your feel you have received some good direction as to where your body is at. Hopefully you'll get to the root of things ... and root the problems right out! ... Eileen & Daryl
Praise the Lord! I am so glad that you have found someone who will listen and treat your whole body! Thanks for sharing your experience! I will pray that you continue to feel much better!
wow that is so encouraging... it makes me think I should go see a homeopath dr. for my stomach issues. Wish I lived near your dr :-)
I'll be praying that you start to feel better! Keep us posted!
Is there any way that I can get in touch with you? I recently had the same experience at my chiropractor's office, and I'm reluctant to try the ideas. I would love to hear how it works for you.
