Multiple Systemic Infections: a system wide denial of implications

an image of microorganisms for Multiple Systemic Infections: a system wide denial of implications

I've been navigating this world of multiple systemic infections for many years now. The pharmaceutical drug injuries which caused Tardive Dyskinesia has made it a potentially deadly undertaking. Doctors, even ones who can hear me, don't want to take me on. Liability and capitalism rules all in their worlds and people like me are left to fend for ourselves. I have watched many people I love succumb to the medical system. It's been excruciatingly painful. So many dead friends. It started in high school for me!

Chronic Lyme Misconceptions: Complexity and Diversity

Chronic Lyme disease is not a homogeneous entity. The diagnosis is a distraction really and it doesn’t help a lot of people. Lyme is only given when one particular bacteria is present. The fact is, in long term chronic Lyme there are always multiple infections and generally parasites too in massive biofilm structures that take over the body. Of note: The Dyskinesia in Tardive Dyskinesia a diagnosis given to those with a common psych drug injury) is indistinguishable from some Dyskinesias that are part of some cases of "Lyme " disease. I've come to believe they are the same thing. The psych drug damage associated with TD creates opportunity for the systemic infections to ravage the lymph and nervous systems.

The hungry ghosts know. Listen.

sunflower for the hungry ghosts

Somatic mysticism, diet and returning to my ancestry…. The hungry ghosts know. Listen. I like using “somatic mysticism” to explain my experience because I feel everything deeply in my body. I can feel my cells doing their work quite often and I feel all manner of metabolic movement and I feel far more than I can even begin to really know from a biological standpoint. Still when I listen and pay attention I collect data, information to act on.

Chronic illness, pharmaceutical injury

fun design

This is my experience after what, at this point, amounts to thousands of hours of mindful presence with the chaos in my body. ~~ Chronic illness, pharmaceutical injury ~~ One learns when one focuses attention. One learns a whole lot. That is meditation. Focused attention. So, my experience of chronic illness: Chronic illness is the body saying no to the toxic societal structures that we have internalized…healing from chronic illness is healing the whole human shebang. ~~ To be clear healing does not mean curing. There is no cure to this being human. ~~ ....

Microbiome and chronic illness (Lyme, etc)

greenery from the forest for microbiome and chronic illness

I've come to believe that all chronic diseases are microbiome issues. Hippocrates said the all disease begins in the gut. The gut, however, is not the only part of the body with a microbiome. We are microbiome. The human being is more micro-organism than not.

Healing is not linear

Healing is not linear ...healing is like a spiral staircase with a good dose of yoyo all the way up

Healing is not linear. (we hear that all the time, for good reason). For me healing is like a spiral staircase with a good dose of yoyo all the way up

Detox, withdrawal from psych meds and chronic systemic infections (chronic illness tends to be associated with them)

I've been working on detoxification and clearing and opening up my detox pathways for a decade. It's been slow and rough going for all the reasons y'all know about here. Still I have slowly come to tolerate a whole lot of detox herbs etc. I am now actually responding quite well to pretty hard-core Lyme disease protocols ...

Chronic illness

My "chronically ill" body rewards my gentle persistent attentions with never-ending insights into the nature of being an embodied human. Healing is alchemy and it never ends. The sensitive body holds the entire world's pain, trauma, joy and madness within it. And yes, the suggestion is that most of us are not embodied. The conditioned self is disembodied. Coming to embodiment can be very painful.
