Treatment Update: 2 1/2 Weeks

So, it's been two and a half weeks since I saw Dr. Jonak. And the results are amazing! I so happy I decided to see her.

So just a little remind of what is my treatment is right now:

  1. Castor oil and lavender oil with a heating pad (rice bag) for 30 minutes (I've been doing more just because it's just so calming and comfortable. I usually doing this on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights while watching something.
  2. I am eating the smoothie every other day due to two things: 1) well, it has beets in it...I don't think I need to so more about that. 2) I started to get really tired of having the same smoothie for lunch or dinner everyday.
  3. I have cut out gluten and sugar from what I eat. The sugar thing is just the organic sugars. I have notice that it still makes my body haywire. I did the gluten due to having too much yeast in my body. 
  4. I take emger-c with cream of tartar, c. silver, and grapefruit seed extract.
  5. I am taking 3 different tincture blends under my tongue: 1) one for my adrenal glands, 2) one for the parasites in my body and 3) one for my lack of progesterone in my body.
  6. Plus all the supplements that I've been taking along with my armor thyroid.
And the results:

I can testify that I now have more color in my face than before in my life. I have more energy so I do more thing around the house. I even did some weeding of the gardens in the front yard! (that is pretty big if you ask Logan.) I've lost 4 lbs since I started this treatment which has been really hard to lose anything before hand. I've not really workout at all. In fact, I probably worked out twice since I've seen her and that was aqua zumba whenever my nephew wasn't over. And to top that off, whenever I walk for more than 15 minutes it feels like I am burning so much fat! I sleep ten times better and I am sleeping on a schedule again! I go to bed before midnight too! My cravings...gone! I used to have huge cravings for salty or sweet things all the time due to the clomid and birth control I was on (not of my choice tho). My body isn't so swollen either! Especially my stomach area. I showed Logan last night how much it's gone down and he was impressed.

I can't wait to see all the results when I go back in to see Dr. Jonak again. I love that the fact that I can see the blood results with my own eyes so I can if it's work. I have 3 more weeks before I see her again. Maybe I'll get lucky and lose some more weight before than too. ^_^ I'll do another update in two weeks. I'll will post pictures of myself later one.

Making Another Decision

A lot of people know that I love my D.O. doctor and my new Gyn/OB doctor...but for some reason things just aren't connecting and working. I mean I do have an amazing gyn/ob doctor who put in the time to figure out what was really going on with my infertility problems and my d.o. who got me pregnant 6 months after I started to see her.

On top of that, I have done so much studying on PCOS, IR, Adrenal Fatigue, and Hypothyroidism (problems that are all hormonal based). I am getting so confused. I know food is my best medicine at this point but there are so many things saying this veggie is bad for your thyroid or fruits can be bad for your sugar levels. And to top it off, there are so many people in my family that are having babies. Yeah...try dealing with fertility problems when most of your siblings are expecting (who are married). That throws some very huge loops with your emotions. I even helped with my sister-in-laws baby shower which by the way I had a blast doing.

 So I decided on see a naturalpath doctor to see if I can more things figured out. I saw her Friday and let me tell you it was a great thing to go see her. By the way, her name is Dr. Karie Jonak. Anyways, let's say that it was amazing what she found out in 10 minutes.  There's a whole list full of stuff plus what I have already! Here is the list of things that she discover that was going on in my body.
  • Borderline anemia (most likely due to lack of copper)
  • 2 type of parasites
  •  Yeast
  • Bacteria
  • Mold 
  • Not enough enzymes 
  • Metal toxin buildup
  • Adrenal glands are shot (very badly too)
  • Intestines are a little back up due to the lack of enzymes
  • inflammation from pelvis up to my head
On the plus side, she commented on my white blood cells and uterus. She said that my white blood cells were amazing! And my uterus looks great even with all the hormonal problems I have. And while she was look at my blood and the map of my body (by blood) I got to see everything and understand why my body is doing what it is doing. I would say that I would send anyone to her.

Anyways, she give me a list full of stuff to do for a few things so I don't over whim myself with treatments. Here is what she is having me do right now until the next time on May 19th.
  • Adrenal support tincture blend - take 10 drops under the tongue in the morning and through out the day whenever my body is about to crash...usually up until about 5:30 pm or it has me up until 1 in the morning.
  • Sarsparilla formula tincture blend - this blend is just for my lack of progesterone in my body. It is from the sarsparilla root and is a lot easier on the than progesterone cream. I take 10 drops under the tongue 3 times a day. 
  • Parasite Formula tincture blend - this one is for a the parasites in my body...take 10 drops under the tongue morning and night and keep it under my tongue for a minute. 
  • Smoothie - this smoothie that I am to take daily has a beet, carrots, celery, strawberries to taste, lemon (peeled), 1/2 cup of papaya and 1 tbsp of papaya seeds. This is suppose to help with the borderline anemia, getting more enzymes in my body and digestive system. She told me to get the papaya from Mexico because the other ones have lots of GMOs in them.
  • Castor oil package - I have to put this on my area where I have my ovaries and uterus at. It will help with the metal buildup in that area. What I do is take an old towel and soak it in castor oil with a few drops of lavender essential oil (helps with healing) put it in that area then wrap it with plastic wrap and put a hot rice bag on top of it. What this is suppose to do is help open up my tubes and get the cysts to go away. I guess I will see when I go back to Dr. Merrill for an ultrasound. 
  • Emergen "C" package - I am suppose to combine it with cream of tartar, grapefruit seed oil, and sliverboitics. This is suppose to help with lots of stuff...to tell you the truth I forgot what it did but it does something that helps.
AS of Saturday afternoon, I have so much energy! I feel great and happy. Not really feeling sick or tired which I am loving! I've never had results this fast in any treatments! I am so happy. I have caught up on a lot of stuff and still catching up on things. I can even help Logan out more getting the garden ready to plant all the seeds we have. I have been trying to talk Logan to go in and see Dr. Jonak for his skin condition. I will see if I can get him to. I can't wait to see the end results of this now.
