I was never keen on going to the doctor. I can only go there when I feel that I have it at all, so after three or four months with stomach pain and severe nausea completely seized with illness, I finally went to my family doctor, where he was diagnosed with an ulcer (peptic). I believed that it was not something more serious (like cancer) I almost skipped to the drug store to buy mine. antibiotics and acid blockers. After a week of taking my medication it became apparent that something was terribly wrong. I felt worse and a foreign itchy rash covered my body. I stopped the medication and went back to the doctor where I found out that I was allergic to my antibiotics. When I took the medicine for a week, my doctor felt like it was enough to kill any bacteria that was causing the ulcers. I was sent home but was told to take acid blockers. For about two weeks I felt wonderful. Life began to return to normal. Then again another rash suddenly broke out at random. Apparently I was allergic to acid blockers as well.
Things looked grim. I had to stop taking all my medication, which in turn left me with severe Weight Loss if I wasn’t so miserable I had done this for several months and I knew that if anything changed I would die.
I had a lot of stress in my life, so I thought that if I changed my lifestyle and did things to relieve stress, then I could get better. Not having the ability to medically treat my problem, I felt like I had to grasp at straws. In desperation, my husband and I participated in several activities, except for church, and we moved to a less expensive house. At the end of the year I was recluse, though somewhat better. I was able to start eating more slowly and feel a level of normalcy again, but my weakness had definitely taken its toll. I have never felt truly happy. Sadness became a dark cloud over my head I fought every day. Of course, other days were better. The best days were when I didn’t have panic attacks, a relatively new problem that started to grow quickly. Having guests over or going out for anything but a quick grocery trip was simply out of the question.
Once when I was laying in the sun Reading the Bible it occurred to me that I could take possession of things. I’m not exactly sure what sparked it in me, but I was filled with the desire to do something about my life and get things under control.
It was much easier to heal from depression than I thought. I have never taken any medication because I was afraid of this part. By sheer nature I decided to just think positive thoughts. I didn’t want to allow anything in my life to bring me down. It was difficult at first, but after a short period of time I was almost completely over my thoughts. I had lived almost entirely before, and had refused to creep in with fear. I created myself to be fit, and the life I was living was not. If God was truly the great God I believed to be, then I would believe that I could truly do whatever I set my mind to. I did not want to believe otherwise. Regaining the power of my thoughts was incredible, but the payoff was incredible. Slowly I began to have guests, and finally to go back to church. Panic still occurred, but less frequently.
Things went well for several months, then one day I was struck by the same symptoms that had plagued me before. I began to retreat into the darkness before I quit, until I was reminded that my mind would be positive if I were better. I immediately started working on a positive attitude again. I was amazed at how far back I had gotten in such a short time. My panic attack returned in full force. I had two and three days some days. I went back to the doctor and was diagnosed with another type of ulcer (duodenal).
I started doing some research about natural-alternatives for healing ulcers. I started eating plain oatmeal. It was breakfast, lunch and dinner for me. It was slow, but at least I was eating. There were a few things that didn’t make me too sick. This happened for about two months.
Then in a research study I came across a fact about cabbage. It appears that many ulcers were given to drink cabbage juice, and 75% of them either healed or showed significant signs of improvement within one week. I thought this was too good to be true, but I tried something desperate. I cooked every day for a week in a pan for a quarter dinner. I ate every bite and then drank the juice. It’s not so bad, especially with a little salt. This could certainly be worse. After a week, all the symptoms of pain went away. I, though I could eat almost nothing, still put off food, and ate the cabbage part of my dinner. After two weeks of this diet, I stopped eating cabbage and started eating regularly again (including meat).
Things went very well for the time being. no sadness, and panic again and again. I learned to tell when one was coming, so he had learned to relax them and control the roads so that they were very light and not long.
After about a month, the old feelings of nausea and stomach pain resurfaced. They were lighter than before, but I knew the same. I had read about Oil of Oregano a few weeks ago and decided to try it. I didn’t read how to dilute it, for simplicity I absorbed four or five drops straight from the bottle. The oil of oregano was 100% pure. For 15 minutes my lips, tongue, throat, and stomach felt as if inflamed. Then gradually everything becomes numb. Thirty minutes after receiving the oil I felt fabulous.
The next night I put a drop of Oregano Oil on my toothbrush and brush my teeth as usual. He could still, but not nearly as bad as when he first met him. I continued to do this for about a week. After consuming the first oil the pain and nausea went away completely. That was almost a year ago. To date I have not had stomach pain or nausea again. I still add a drop of Oregano oil to my toothbrush twice a week before bed. I eat what I want, but I switch to mostly natural and organic foods. I didn’t have any trouble when I started taking Oil of Oregano either. I feel healthier, both mentally and physically, than I have in years.
I truly believe that by using my faith and changing my attitude I could recover. I believe that what the cabbage did really heal my ulcer, and the Oregano Oil killed the bacteria that had gone wrong with the previous antibiotics. My friends and family who are familiar with my fortune are amazed at the change and progress I have made from natural remedies I am amazed at how well this composition has been worked out. I have my “blue” days like everyone else from time to time, but the sad days are long. Somewhere in the mix of my recovery, I started using scented perfumes to help me relax and I believe they played a major role in helping me lower my levels. It’s hard to think about negative things when my senses are filled with a delightful fragrance.
I’m not sure what has worked for everyone, but I know what works for me. I am not a doctor, nor a herbalist nor a professional in any kind of medical or herbal art. This is just a personal account of what happened in my life, but it changed my life and changed a lot of people’s minds about . a natural cure who walked with me through my trial.
