I would like to pass on a wonderful discovery about how acupuncture permanently cured my ADD, hyperness, Cyclothymia, and a seizure disorder.
Born on 12/25/60 I was a handful. My allergy to milk products was the first sign of food allergies. Later, hyper activity and temper tantrums would replace the colic as a behavior that drove my parents crazy. I was taken to the doctor repeatedly to get to the bottom of this frustrating behavior but when the doctor discovered that I had some control of the hyperactivity, he refused to treat it. All through adolescence, my grades suffered. A C student, my scholastic expectations were tempered. My parents understood my limitations so they did not pressure me to obtain the high marks. They could see that I was easily distracted. My saving grace that kept me out of trouble and down the wrong road, was my highly developed creative intelligence. This dichotomy of left and right brain functioning gave me hope that one day I could conquer this behavior. When I focused on creative endeavors, the hyper activity transformed itself into a highly focused mental energy that yielded great results. This highly developed state was my sanctuary out of the troubling world of social ineptness. I eventually channeled this creative energy to the point that I was immediately accepted into one of the top art schools in the world, the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. While I was there I was near the top of the class and pushed the expectations of the school upward. Our class was considered the hardest working class ever seen. But I had to leave after only four semesters because other behavioral symptoms began to surface such as depression, anxiety, nervousness and stress. This was heartbreaking because I was not in control of my life.
Because of my hyper tendencies I emotionally developed slowly.
The childlike behavior prevented me from growing up at and
interfered with my ability to have normal personal relationships
through my 20s. Unable to mature, I continued to behave like a
kid unable to accept responsibility for another person. This was
traumatic because I was increasingly aware something was wrong
and I wanted to do something about it. The first encounter with
the understanding of what might be bothering me was when I was
eighteen. I read about amino acids and was particularly
interested in Norepinephrine. I felt that it was a link to what
might be happening to me but I never pursued it. I asked doctors
about it, but they dismissed me. Just last week, I read in a
Feingold report on the Internet that Norepinephrine is an
important key in this disorder. Fifteen years later I decided to
pick up the scent again and was determined to get to the bottom
of my increasingly frustrating behavior. At Art Center and at all
my jobs since I have been exposed to various chemicals that were
not too dangerous in themselves. However the labels did warn of
allergic possibilities but with my hyper activity, I did not take
the proper precautions. I was focused on getting the job done at
any expense. Consequently, my behavioral health suffered.
Continued depression, severe anxiety, nervousness and even a
baffling symptom I felt resembled autism was taking control of my
life. I did not want to believe that the chemicals
were responsible until a few years ago. The autistic symptom I
mentioned was a bizarre electrical short circuit that would cut
off communication between my mouth and brain without warning. In
the midst of a conversation, I would be at a loss for words right
in the middle of a sentence. I knew that the words were (in
there) but I could not access them. Eventually the short circuits
traveled to my spine, which was diagnosed as a type of seizure
disorder, to the point it was time to investigate. Between my
shoulder blades, a burning and tingling sensation combined with a
rapid cycling mood disorder eventually diagnosed as Cyclothymia
and an unknown seizure disorder was now interfering with day to
day activities. Mental functioning had also deteriorated to the
point that I could not concentrate on tasks at hand and was in
trouble. Two years of testing revealed nothing on an organic
level. The doctors were baffled. I found it disturbing that none
of them asked me about the chemicals I worked with. MRIs, EKGs
and various dangerous drugs such as lithium and carbamezapine
were used. Even with the drugs my symptoms continued to
deteriorate and were baffling the doctor.
I decided that I had enough with traditional methods and heard about a product call Super Blue Green Algae. Within 24 hours of taking this unbelievable nutrient, the symptoms started to vanish. The sensation was remarkable. Within two months I took myself off the medication and was feeling great. I wanted to know why the algae was helping and noticed that it was packed with amino acids in perfect balance for human consumption. Later I discovered that I was allergic to eggs and found out that the algae was a safe substitute I was not allergic to. I began to experiment with individual amino acids and discovered that tyrosine and phenylalanine were some how involved. When I read that they elevated Norepinephrine levels, I was intrigued. The l-tyrosine was a wonderful nutrient because it improved my attention dramatically. Dl-phenylalanine had a wonderful sedating effect and helped with the depression. Later I discovered that the B-vitamins were responsible for the metabolism of amino acids so I converted over to them instead. Vitamin B-100 and niacin were my favorites. All my symptoms seem to be helped quite a bit if not completely, but because of my repeated exposure to the chemicals at work, the effect was waning. Even with the proper precautions, my sensitivities to the chemicals were severe. Allergies to foods were increasing to the point that I could not eat any fruits, sugars and dairy products.
But then I discovered the acupuncture treatment called NAET. It is a treatment that you can find out information on the Internet that cures the underlying causes of all allergies and toxic poisoning. The magazine Access has a wonderful article explaining how it works for your information. You can find this on the Internet as well. The treatment is so astounding that it is even reversing my mothers second stage dementia, but that is another story. After 36 years of struggling with mood disorders, ADD, hyperness, seizures, and related allergies I am now the person I knew I could be. Having complete control of ones mental faculties is not something we should take for granted.
I encourage you to get the book Say Goodbye to Illness written
by Dr. Devi Nambudripad who discovered NAET and share this
information to the thousands of people who are suffering
needlessly. You are about to uncover an unbelievable leap forward
in the world of medical miracles. I have even contacted Dr.
Rimland in San Diego to encourage him to investigate this
treatment as a way to help autistic people. My gut feeling is
that it may be the miracle link to help these people out of the
darkness permanently. It may be the cure for dementia as well.
Only time will tell.
