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!

Tardive Dyskinesia: the Biofilm Connection

multicolored abstract painting for Tardive Dyskinesia: the Complex Connection with Biofilm

I am healing the tardive dyskinesia, which for me, as a result of sustained, long-term mindful attention is clearly an infestation of muliple micro-organisms acting in concert via a highly complex biofilm. ... To call this monster within me a biofilm is highly problematic since most people don’t know what biofilm is and those who do imagine that anything referred to as a film must not be particularly significant. Instead, in truth, it is “biofilm” of some sort that is at the root of all illness. In my experience the TD colonizes every cell in the body, however and is far more complex than what anyone seems to understand. In tardive dyskinesia, these systems of micro-organism architecture that are being organized becomes a snaking, moving, morphing entity that slowly takes over the entire body. It defies the laws of physics as we currently understand them.

Nature speaks to us

nature scene, water and trees Nature speaks to us

Nature speaks to us -- July 2024 update: I happened to post the below words on social media today and then I came upon this post as I was looking to do updates today :I find that the environment (life force) will meet me with info I need and support with synchronicities etc. It doesn't always mean what I might first think, however, so it's good to be slow and mindful and let myself get a full body (somatic) response before making decisions. ...

Have you been harmed by MDs and western medicine? It’s not uncommon

I have a long history of being gravely harmed by MDs and western medicine. It started in early childhood with multiple courses of unnecessary antibiotics which primed my immune system and gut for later auto-immune disease. Later, as a teenager, my pediatrician told my mother I could only have gotten crabs by sexual transmission. I was a virgin.

Healing is a shocking process

image of tree top with birds...tree of life healing is a shocking process

Healing from this particular form of iatrogenic injury is a shocking process. It is shocking by nature of the fact that one of the hallmarks of this brain injury is a deep and profound neurological terror. This terror, held in the autonomic nervous system, manifests in a myriad number of forms from individual to individual.

SLEEPING after coming off heavily sedating psych drugs. It gets better.

My sleep has come back slowly. One of the few MDs I've worked with who has been helpful has a specialty in sleep medicine. When I met him I was lucky if I slept one hour a night and I didn't tolerate anything (supplement or psych drug wise) to help support sleep...he assured me that what he called my "sleep architecture" would come back...(he also is familiar with the sort of iatrogenic brain injury we get from the psych meds) ... in any case his words stay with me even now and I have a palpable sense of my body reconstructing my sleep architecture over time...now I can take a few supplement supports and herbs as well...but time, also, really continues to matter. I went from 0-2 hours a night (a few years of that) to 2-4 hours a night (a couple of years) and now I'm at 4-6 hours and occasionally sleep 7 or 8 hours...it's been a trip! I continue to heal. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

Oliver Sacks on the autonomic nervous system

black and white water lily Oliver Sacks, the autonomic nervous system, and psychiatric drug withdrawal syndrome

Oliver Sacks wrote about a recent phase of his treatment for terminal cancer and it seems to shed a lot of light on what you deal with every day. Oliver Sacks: "The autonomic nervous system, sleeplessly monitoring every organ and tissue in the body, tells one how one is." The ANS is thus the body's system of self-awareness. As such, it can be seen as the seat of consciousness, because the experience of how we are, is intimately tied to our sense of who we are. ...

Yoga for fear/anxiety

As our bodies heals from the iatrogenic injury caused by psychiatric drugs, the process of healing the autonomic nervous system demands the continual working with fear in the body. These drugs create post traumatic stress and exacerbate that which was already in our bodies.
Yoga is often helpful in the process of healing this insult to our nervous system.
Yoga is wonderful for training us to be with all of the sometimes uncomfortable sensations in our body whether we’ve been injured or not. This is a skill that can help support us in our lives in many different ways. Practicing and learning to be with discomfort is an important skill to have. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
