Story
Diagnosis by CT scan, nodal biopsy x 2, bone marrow biopsy x 2. 2010 - neck radiation (15 treatments). Put on 'watch & wait." 2013 - advancement to Stage 3 and continue with "watch". (I don't "wait" for it.) PET scan Oct. 2017 0- significant decreases in nodes and some nodes no longer taking up radioactive glucose.
My healing has occurred spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, and physically. I'm AMAZED at how much inner knowledge our bodies and minds have! Besides diet, exercise, saunas, supplements, etc., three things have propelled my healing forward, along with the "foundations" just mentioned.
1.) Having an IAOMT dentist remove my asymptomatic, infected root canal and 3 out of 4 infected cavitations that were 40+ years old (wisdom teeth). (Listen to Oral Health Care summit with host Jonathan Landsman for more info). I started to notice my nodes getting smaller 4 weeks after the procedure.
2.) I was always active - marathons, cycling, hiking etc. But sitting still was not my forte. I started reading "I Am The Placebo" by Dr. Joe Dispenza and attended his meditation workshop. The last thing I ever thought I'd be doing has become a major cornerstone to my healing! Daily meditation - even if it's only 5 minutes.
3.) The hand of God has been all over my healing! From hearing the Oral Health Care Summit to having a friend introduce me to Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, to having Radical Remission catch my eye in the bookstore and finding an acupuncturist that shared my diagnosis and zest for inner change. The synchronicities have been endless and laid at my feet! I've been gifted with the discipline to follow a new lifestyle, a curiosity for learning and an openness to follow my now, much stronger, inner voice. The end result being a new joy for living and grateful for where Follicular Lymphoma has taken me. The adventure continues!
Physically - MTHFR and gene expression - was unable to detox efficiently. Was taking the wrong forms of B9 and B12 for years and my body could not use them. Also recently found out I have higher levels of Lead and Mercury. Soon to start chelating them out with a slow, meticulous process. Asymptomatic infected Root canal and cavitations!! (Big One!)
Mentally - I harbored anger, resentment, poor self-esteem, perfectionism, etc. I'm now learning how a toxic body helps to create a toxic mind.
Spiritually - Never could "let go" to God's will so I feel my diagnosis was needed to get me to move. Nothing like being under a radiation mask and locked down to the table to help you "let go to God" when you have no control! Yes, fNHL was a big GIFT to me.
