A Journey through Depression and Anxiety-(Continued from page 5)

suicide hot line.  I am so grateful for this organization!   Without it I might not be here today to relay this information. I progressed over the next several years from being an attendee, to becoming a facilitator, to joining the board and ultimately becoming the president of that board. This organization may have saved my life and I am eternally thankful that I met Karen Fallahi and was welcomed into a safe and supportive group of souls who also struggle with mood disorders.  It was good to know that I was not alone.

  About a year ago and on the recommendation of a Doctor of Optometry, I went to see a medical intuitive.  This woman is a psychic who sees into the physical body.   She promptly informed me that I had been poisoned!  At first I had no insight as to what this was all about.  She asked me if I had ever worked around chemicals, and then it hit me.  Over 30 years ago while a junior in college I worked at a chemical plant in DeKalb, Illinois for the summer.  I would be covered from head to toe with dry powdered chemicals as well as breathing in the dust.  At the end of the workday we showered, dissolving these chemicals in the hot water and literally bathed in them.  This probably added to my toxicity as the pores of the skin opened up from the heat. 

  Well, this was really useful information!  I began a detoxification process to clean my colon and I used an Ion Cleanse machine to draw toxins out of my feet.  We purchased a far-infrared sauna especially designed to purify the cells and detoxify the body through the sweating mechanism.  For 60 days straight I used the sauna.  First I produced a bumpy rash on the front and back of my torso.  Then a scaly rash appeared on my arms.  The rashes eventually cleared up, and after those first two months I began to feel better.  That was exactly one year ago.  It is now January 2006.

  At that time I began to read and discover just how toxic this world is that we live in. It is no wonder that there is so much degenerative disease rampant in our country. Through our chiropractor I found a local doctor who specializes in toxicology and continue to work with him as I progress through the detox process.  He discovered that I am gluten sensitive (Cannot eat any wheat or gluten containing foods) and I have toxic loads of many heavy metals.

  And now I can honestly say that I have recovered a great percentage of my happy former self.  I got a job, we've moved into a new house and held on to the old one as a rental.  I am pursuing new avenues of learning, and want to invest my earnings to provide for a comfortable retirement.   


  I am blessed with a loving wife who has stood by my side through this entire tumultuous time and has given me the love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and support to come out of the "Dark places."

  I offer this to all of you who suffer with mood disorders as hope that there is light beyond the darkness of our struggles and that things can get better. I fully understand that each individual has to find the path that works for him or her. There is no panacea and whether it be medications, therapy, nutrition, exercise or any of a host of other options that works for you, as long as something works that's what counts. Research continues all the time and new understanding, coupled with awareness, brings renewed hope for solutions to this epidemic of mental illness. If there is anything of value I can share with you it is to be faithful and stay on the road to recovery no matter what.

  May God watch over and protect all who are so challenged by such afflictions.
