=> ASK LENA Q & A EDITION!
============================

Today's question is very similar to a question submitted in March 2003 so if you subscribed then you may remember it or maybe it now applies to you. 

Over the years I found that symptoms come in cycles. The running remarks when I worked the medical offices after a day of seeing so many of the same symptoms was; "Satan, the old devil isn't very smart at inventing new illnesses and he's boring me to death!" We would see the same types of symptoms all day long for days on end and then it would change to another type until he ran the course or became bored. I never figured out which and since he is the father of illness we gave him the credit raves... Sure there would be one or two accidents or chronic problems mixed in each day but for the most part all symptoms were things that if left alone would resolve with a few home remedies or doing nothing.  The doctors use to say if people ever wise up we will go out of practice. People still aren't wising up to the fact that they have been brain washed to run to the doctor for everything! Having said that;

I answer all health questions to the best of my ability using what I gleaned from 20-years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator along with my education in nutritional and alternative modes. I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one. Just lived many years while observing the life and health of many in the world around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating and that people weren't really getting healthy so I looked for something to change that...

Steve's Motivator this week, "WHAT IS LOVE?" is so very important to both men and women even though Steve writes from a man's view. So women listen and learn as well.  If you enjoy Steve's weekly Motivator let him know and tell him you read it in "A Natural Environmental Health Facts Ask Lena Health Q & A ezine." mailto:Publisher@LifeSupportSystem.com

Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude as well!

Question:

I vaguely remember a similar situation to mine being published a few years ago by you but I don't remember your answer to her and now my doctor has given me a clean bill of health after a battery of tests, all negative. Yet I still am having horrific pains in my arms and legs with burning pains in my chest and abdomen. I feel like a nut case. Will you reprint your answer to this problem?
 
Julieann

 
 
ANSWER:
Julieann I like your name as I have a fantastic granddaughter with the same name and same spelling...  Its nice to know you have been a reader for so long? That column was back in March of 2003... Here was my answer to her and it should also apply to you now as nothing has really changed in traditional medicine?
 
When all is looked at and no problem is found there could be a few things more you will need to look at to find answers here.
 
First look at your home and work environment. Are you living or working in new surroundings that could contain toxic chemicals, such as new carpeting, wallboard, cabinets, flooring, etc.?  If that could be the case you can find out for sure by taking a long 5 or 6-week vacation away from any of those things and see if the symptoms subside.  Or have you added new room freshener or detergent in either the wash or kitchen? Have you changed anything that gives off an odor in your home? Be a detective. There are no tests to determine these environmental factors.
 
Second; Diet is a huge influence on our body and how we feel. So take a look at the foods you are eating! We live in such a chemical society that we now eat fruits, vegetables and meats with all kinds of possible problems created by the chemicals and/or irradiation. Fruits and vegetables are now grown with only three nutrients as their base, as the ground being so depleted; therefore food is lacking about 81 of its normal mineral nutrients.  Foods are also treated with pesticides and insecticides while in the fields and these things are absorbed into the plants and not washed off therefore we end up eat them. They are picked green in most instances then put through a chemical wash to make them appear ripe and contain no nutrient value yet add more chemicals.
 
Do you eat a lot of fast food or packaged/processed foods? If so that alone has the risk of big problems. Foods could be the catalyst to your problem. In order to determine that you will need to keep a diary of what you eat and the symptoms that occur. To do this accurately you will need to start an elimination diet. Eliminate the most likely culprits such as, dairy, wheat, corn, sugar, chocolate, and caffeine drinks - coffee, tea and colas - also different additives, such as MSG, yellow dyes, etc. for two weeks. You will need to read labels to find all the additives.  After one week of not eating those eliminated foods, begin reintroducing them back into your diet one at a time one week at a time between adding them. Give your body at least 2 to 5 days to react. If you don't notice any changes - congestion, pain, headache, stomach upset, etc. - then you're probably okay with that particular food. If you are allergic or sensitive to one of these foods, your symptoms will likely be stronger than before. Your body has had a chance to rest from fighting the food and will now respond stronger than before. Keep detailed daily notes of each food and how you feel after eliminating and re-introducing it.
 
Keep in mind that ingredients are often "hidden" in foods -  like eggs and/or milk in bread. Read ingredient lists carefully. Furthermore, the various agents that processors use in foods, such as additives, preservatives, acidifiers, artificial flavors, and artificial colors, can also produce an allergic response, especially in children. Aspartame (NutraSweet) and MSG are very common offenders that present your symptoms as well. If there's a certain canned or processed food you eat regularly, avoid that food while following the elimination diet, as something in the processing may be fueling your condition.
 
Once a sensitivity to a certain food has been established, double check it by omitting it from the diet for another week.  Then try reintroducing it a second time. Experiencing adverse reactions for a second time is a strong indication of a food allergy to it, and your best bet is to avoid that food altogether or find a way of desensitizing your system to it. My Naturopath friend, Dr. Wayne Garland, works with people to overcome sensitivities and if you wish to work with him to do that, let me know. It is a very extensive immune building program.
 
Along with the food intake comes water! If you are drinking, cooking or bathing with unfiltered tap water you could very well be taking someone's medications and not even know it and your body is reacting to them. Yes, them as ALL water tables have been found to have numerous prescribed and OTC drugs in it... If you read "A Natural Environmental Health Facts ezine regularly you may remember reading my article "Whose Drugs Are You Taking? Everybody's Is The Correct Answer!" a few issues back.
 
Another possibility; An autoimmune disease that is regularly overlooked as there are no tests to determine it exists; Fibromyalgia! See a doctor who is experienced with fibromyalgia symptoms and have him check for the markers to determine if fibromyalgia could be the culprit. My experience with suffering from fibromyalgia for 30+ years was; traditional medicine has no real treatment and I have found relief with alternative medicine.
 
All of the above scenarios are overlooked by doctors in trying to ascertain a problem such as yours. Just because they did not find an existing problem does not mean that something will not appear in the future. As long as you are experiencing these symptoms there could be damage to an organ or system that can show up in the future. In any of the above cases, I suggest you find a good Chelationist and have chelation therapy to detox and repair your body before something serious does pop up! To find one in your area Click here to learn about chelation and also find a chelationist!
 
Or let Dr. Garland work you up a healthy herbal/mineral/vitamin protocol to rebuild your body. Email to get that protocol.
 
I would be very interested in your detective work and what you find!

Lena

WHAT IS LOVE?

Diane Ackerman said, "Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is." Over the years, I have been learning what it is.

When I first got married, I wanted to show my love to my new wife. I was drawn to romantic stories like one from the time of Oliver Cromwell in England where a young soldier had been tried in military court and sentenced to death. He was to be shot at the "ringing of the curfew bell." His fiancée climbed up into the bell tower. Several hours before curfew time and tied herself to bell's huge clapper. At curfew time, when only muted sounds came out of the bell tower, Cromwell demanded to know why the bell was not ringing. His soldiers went to investigate and found the young woman cut and bleeding from being knocked back and forth against the great bell. They brought her down, and, the story goes, Cromwell was so impressed with her willingness to suffer in this way on behalf of someone she loved that he dismissed the soldier saying, "Curfew shall not ring tonight."

That must be love, I thought! That was the kind of commitment I needed to make! I wanted to give my all. To tie myself to the bell for her. To die, if necessary, for her. To sacrifice myself on the altar of true love! I wanted her to know that I'd give it all up for her.

But she never wanted me to die for her. Never! Clean the toilets, maybe, but never die. My commitment was to be shown in household chores! (I read that an exhaustive study showed that no woman ever shot her husband while he was doing dishes. What a relief. Washing dishes may lack inspiration, but it says "I love you" better than roses...)

I was never called upon to tie myself to the bell. But I was still called upon to show my love - in little ways, mostly.

I was needed to comfort her before we were married when the doctor told her she could never have children; to hold her hand and tell her I wanted her more than I wanted a family.

I was called upon to sit by her hospital bed after surgery and encourage her.

I was called upon to hold her after her father died and let her cry.

I was also called upon to carve out alone time with her as often as possible and to make sure my plans included her as well as me.

I was never needed to prove my undying love through a glorious act of self-sacrifice. It was something I was required to do in little ways, through one small act of kindness at a time.

And that, I've learned, is love.
