Back From the US...nothing gained!!

[Simone]

Hello all,

I returned to Germany from VA/FL today. I had a wonderful time with my family and friends. Everyone said how fab I looked. Well, I couldn't figure it since I hadn't lost any additional wt since January when they last saw me. Apparently though, I had lost lots of inches.

I did see a Dr. regarding my MRI. I have a tumor/mass on my liver. I have had 2 opinions about it and they differ. I have decided to take the holistic approach to my health to include Atkins, exercise, digestive enzymes, a liver detox, weight loss, juicing for additional enzymes and prayer. I am not so much interested in the acute state of my liver, but rather how I can make it healthier and function properly again. My kidneys and lymph system are not up to par either. So I have a long road to hoe.

This just puts a hotter fire under my need to take care of myself.

I need to eat organic foods, and am not sure where to find them in Germany. I also need to have a colonic cleansing and am not sure where to get that either. I was told a cofee colonic would be good for my situation as well. For those of you familiar with Stuttgart or the area, please advise. I need to find organic eggs, meats, veggies, etc. I also need to purchase a juicer that juices wheat grass.

I do feel bloated and swollen since my trip, as I didn't exercise for a month (except walking from shop to shop in the mall) and I ate what ever suited my fancy. My wt is at 260 which is the same give or take 3-4lbs.

I ask for your continued prayer and well wishes as I fight to live as long as I can and with the best quality of life.

Simone - when I read your post, I immediately recited the Jewish prayer for healing for you. I think, given your situation and your incredible attitude, that it is right on point, and I hope nobody will be offended if I type it out here:

May the Source of strength who blessed the ones before us
help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing.

Bless those in need of healing with Refuah Shleyma - the renewal of body, the renewal of spirit. And let us say: Amen.

You are already making your life a blessing. The renewal of body and spirit will come as you continue to find out how to take care of yourself.

Hang in there!

Simone, you have such a fabulous attitude - and I just said a prayer for your health and full recovery, as well as continued incentive and perseverance with this way of life.

Thank you for your prayers. I truly believe in the amazing, miraculous power of prayer. My God can do all things, the least of these is healing my body.

Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from some of you about where to find organic foods in the Stuttgart, Germany area.
