Ho hum! When I last wrote this blog I believed I could stem the tide of deterioration in my kidneys, but in hindsight I can now see exactly what was happening then. If you don't stop the internal cause of the problem, then how can you stop the problem? My kidney failure was a direct cause of my askew belief systems that had set up a negative pattern in my system and caused chronic disease. Dis-ease is about not being easy in your self. I was not feeling easy within my spirit or emotions and so it showed up in negative energy formation inside my internal organs.
I started dialysis last November and have been on APD ever since. I could start a whole new blog on the benefits of APD as opposed to other dialysis procedures - it really is the best type for me. But today I want to major on curing the problem rather than managing it. I have finally admitted to myself I have to look at a change of diet. Seriously, though, now. Before now I've ofren toyed around with different health ideas. I've omitted to eat wheat, say, for a day or two, and given up meat for a week or two. But today something sprung out at me on Facebook - a chart about a low acid and high alkaline diet. I don't want to lose weight but I do want to get healthier. These are my current probs, as well as kidney failure:
- sluggish digestive system
- ibs
- tired all the time
- restless legs
- dry skin
- brittle nails
I don't think the medication I am on is the cause of all these problems. So I feel I owe it to myself to look at my diet, as something must be going wrong somewhere. I can aim to be a really healthy person even though I'm on dialysis. In fact, I must admit that I've let my eating habits relax since I've been on dialysis thinking it's hard to look good with a tube sticking out of my middle so why bother trying. Just keep wearing the long tunics to cover up all my sins. But no, my body and my self won't let me get away with that attitude any longer. Failing health is a cry from the temple that is my body to stop, look and listen to what harmful substances I am submitting it to. Symptoms speak louder than words. To put it another way, my way of eating and my body do not agree, They're not very happy together,
So today I started making changes gently. I have swapped builder's tea for Rooibos - delicious it is too.
No more cow's milk either; soya milk for me. I will be enjoying goat's milk yogurt instead of cow's milk. Fruit and veg is in, in large quantities; wheat and white flour and refined white sugar products are out. I will be sprinkling a concoction of flax seed, sesame seed, sunflower and poppy seeds on almost everything. I'll keep you informed of how or if this brings rewards next time....
