This may surprise you about me.
I used to get seizures.
I experienced them for 15 years.
I started getting them when I was 13.
The first one happened during surgery.
Strangely, I got them about every 7 years.
My doctors didn’t know why. They couldn’t explain it.
Seizures were the most painful and the scariest health condition I ever experienced.
And they got progressively worse. The last time, I lost consciousness at an event and woke up in a pool of sweat with a circle of doctors, nurses, and an EMT around me.
I felt dis-empowered and scared.
Until, I researched and discovered that heavy metals could be creating the symptoms that I was experiencing.
Last Friday, I had my wisdom tooth extracted.
If you know me, you know that I have been trained in shamanism.
Shamanism is not only a form of healing but it is also a lifestyle.
A lifestyle that believes in natural healing such as with food and herbs
We don’t take medication.
Before my surgery, I can’t remember the last time I took medication
But because I had a traumatic experience as a teenager having teeth removed I decided to have twilight sleep (sedation).
I also opted to have a local anesthetic so I didn’t have pain.
Then my doctor recommended a steroid and antibiotic for one day which I took.
He recommended a narcotic which I declined
But I did take children’s Motrin and then later Advil so that I wouldn’t have swelling.
So you can see that for someone who doesn’t take medication and hasn’t taken any medication years this was a lot of medication that was suddenly in my system.
Thankfully, I didn’t have any pain during the procedure or afterwards but I did experience dizziness and great fatigue from the medications.
So I knew I needed to detox the medication out of my system.
