Is Our Immune System Compromised?
Or are we being misled about our immune system and how it is actually doing its best, to heal us?
I pose this question in light of recent evidence with regard to contemporary medicine and its treatment of cancer. one of the foremost killers in today’s society, in fact, the #1 cause of death in the United States of America today.
A change of Diagnosis…
As many of you know, I have been looking for the ’cause’ of my particular form of the neuromuscular disorder, named as, Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM), at my conclusive diagnosis in March 2006. Over the last 2 years, my consultant neurologist has re-considered my original diagnosis because my muscles have not deteriorated the same as other patients with IBM. I was therefore re-assessed after a series of genetic tests, MRI scan, blood tests, respiratory analysis, and an echocardiogram, to be presented with a new diagnosis of Myofibrilla Myopathy.
My ‘quest’ remains the same, looking for the ’cause’ of my own disorder…
After recent changes to my food & drink regime, and having moved on to a more ‘alkaline’ source of nourishment, I still need to confirm, what really did cause my neuromuscular disorder, in my last 10 – 15 years of my normal working life. Was it a hereditary problem? Was it my lifestyle? Was it down to where I spent those last few years? there are indeed so many questions…
I do count myself fortunate, in that my parents did not use contemporary medication to treat our ills, but did resort to natural remedies and homeopathic solutions for the majority of my early life. I knew early on about some of the allergies we had in our family, and certain foods were avoided because of those allergies.
I did not understand any of it at the time but just accepted it all. I learnt that my father suffered from severe migraines, because of an allergy to dairy products, whilst I was blaming mine on alcohol, and did for many years, hence I never really liked alcohol and drank it in moderation, eventually becoming almost ‘tea-total’ for several years, because of my assumption regarding my own migraine attacks. I also avoided cheese for the rest of my life too, as it seemed to really upset me more, the older I became…
Does your ‘Blood type’ make a difference?..
Whilst working in Gibraltar, I made yet another discovery… I was, after all, bemused by my lack of balance and wondering what was happening to me, as I did have the early signs of my neuromuscular condition as far back as 1996, and this was in 2001. I was asked, by a colleague, did I know my blood type? I had no idea, but just assumed it was the normal Type O, as most people were.
It turned out to be A rhesus positive, which was a comparatively rarer blood type than most. I was then shown a book called ‘Eat Right for your Type’ by Dr. Peter D’Adamo, which gave me yet another insight into my allergies and dislikes of certain foods. Blood type A+, was for me, another re-assurance, that my own body was telling me the truth… once again! Most of the foods to avoid if you were type A+ were listed right there in that book, and I was virtually following them all!
My ‘quest’ started right back there, in my ‘Gibraltar’ years, when this disorder was really beginning to impact on many of my physical abilities!
Highly acidic drink intake…
As you are now aware, I was virtually tea-total for many years, in my late forties and early fifties, so I used to drink, what I now know to be, non-alcoholic acidic beverages, Cola’s, Soda’s, Fruit Juices, ’00’ beers… tonic water and ginger ales… I was also the go-to man for the ‘ant-acid’ tablets, with which to quell the chronic ‘acid-reflux’, I had and thought was just ‘part of life’…
I think I know why now!…
MY MISSION TODAY, HOWEVER, IS TO POSE THE QUESTION – ‘IS OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM COMPROMISED?’… OR IS IT ACTUALLY DOING ITS BEST, TO ‘SELF’ HEAL US…
I have been following a guy on Facebook, ‘Chris Beat Cancer’, who has an alternative approach to Cancer treatment, and has succeeded in actually beating Cancer, himself, hence the title of his FB page. This leads me to yet another person who has been studying Cancer and the way it has been treated because he lost several members of his family, and notably his father, within 27 weeks of diagnosis, which he found very traumatic.
Ty Bollinger has a site called ‘The Truth About Cancer’, and he has been on a ‘quest’, traveling around the US, in order to find out why his father died in such tragic circumstances…
He calls it his ‘Quest for Cures…‘ where he travels the length and breadth of the United States, talking to many physicians and specialists, to find out why cancer has grown so much and come to be the #1 killer disease in the United States of America, despite all the medical expertise there is in the western world today.
He started an 11 part presentation on Monday night 30th March, and the links are provided to those recordings for us all to watch and learn from, by signing up to receive his free offer, to let as many people know what is happening to prevent not only cancer but many other relatively new rare and chronic diseases, spreading throughout our world today.
I think you will all find his ‘Quest’ extremely interesting and informative, as I and my family have.
I understand they will all eventually be available on YouTube, but at the moment, you will find them on his site at The Truth About Cancer …
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ty Bollinger, for all the dedication and hard work he has put into his ‘ ‘Quest for Cures’, because I believe it is not only going to help many others understand so much more about Cancer, but also help us all to understand more about our ‘dedicated’ and ‘hard-working’ internal ‘Immune system’ in its own daily Quest, helping our bodies retain a good and healthy environment in which we can all live…
I do hope you enjoyed this post, another will follow soon…
