Have been trying
coffee enemas again but I still hate them. I feel so extremely weak after them and for the days after. After finishing an enema, my legs are almost wobbly. I read how good they are and necessary, but maybe not for me....feel again like I am failing if I don't do them, but feel so terrible when I do.
I have done intermitant liver and kidney flushes but not back to back to back to back.
Liver Flush approx every 3 weeks.
I have made the following tinctures:
B&B
Echinacea
Ginkgo
Mullein
I have tried taking a lot of the Ginkgo but it seems to give me more of a headache.
Similar with the cayenne. I was taking daily but it seems to increase the pressure in my head that I currently have and it makes me feel even more like I am losing control.
What, if anything, are you are doing or taking now that is yielding positive results?

Weaksness with coffee enema

Yes
Current Health Issues (the more details, the better!):
I have been diagnosed with agoraphobia with panic disorder which I have been dealing with for approx two years. I do not go to medical doctors due to a belief in natural healing but also some hypochondriac tendencies. I do not take any pharmaceutical drugs.
I know that my body is not healthy. Honestly, I don't know if the dizziness two years ago caused the agoraphobia and panic disorders or vice versa....kind of the chicken or egg debate. Anyways I began to become dizzy and panicked when I felt out of control which led to the agoraphobia.
Current state: I am extremely sensitive to lights to the point I can't stand to be outside during the day or go into stores. I have had an extreme amount of pressure in my head for the past week or so and headaches in the front and back of my head (I have never had headaches in the past). There has been some tingling in my left hand in all fingers. I am better in the mornings, but by 3 pm, there is so much pressure in my head and stress in my body that I feel like I will literally collapse or just die. Each day I feel like this is it. EDIT: My symptoms of head pressure, dizziness, feelings of going to stroke out are reduced tremendously when I am laying down. Upon waking in the morning, I feel ok while in the bed, but once I get up my brain feels literally toxic...kind of like it is floating in a pool of toxic liquor or something. I have a very hard time looking for an item among a group of items - I get dizzy or an out of it feeling - it becomes too overwhelming to try to find the one item I am looking for. The pain in my head is now predominantly in the back at the base of my skull - kind of constant nagging. Yet there is a swirling type dizzines all through my brain especially with eye movement. Again all is much better when laying down.
The reason for the thought of an aneurysm is I was talking to a friend who works in the medical field and that is what she thought it may be due to some patient she had seen before. I have no idea....I am scared to go to the doctor...it could be a tumor....it could be many things.....all I know if that I feel like I am dying.
What I have been doing: I started the Incurables Program on June 1. I did a 19 day juice fast. I did the liver and kidney flush, the IF#1 and #2, hot cold showers, barefooting, etc. Since then I have been doing the IF #1 and #2 several times a day, the hot and cold showers, eating a mostly vegetarian diet (certainly not perfect),
juicing each day and walking, some tinctures.
I know that there are other things I need to be doing and for not doing them I feel like a failure and I feel like I am giving up my life because I couldn't make myself do them.
This would include daily barefooting, more tinctures, enemas (which I dislike immensely), cold sheet treatment.
With the agoraphobia and panic it is a struggle to function on any social level and takes an enormous amount of energy and trying to maintain all these things while being dizzy/foggy headed is such a battle. And to know that I need to do these things and am not beats me down.
Also, the bottom of my feet are somewhat yellow.
If you've consulted any type of practitioner, what did they determine or suggest? Do you agree?
What other types of allopathic, alternative or natural therapies or protocols have you tried (if any)? results?
Past issues, drugs, surgeries that you think may be contributing to current issues?
Job stress
Any major changes in diet, supplements, drugs, stress-levels, location, lifestyle recently? results?
No
Are you aware of the difference between "alternative medicine" and truly natural healing?
What do YOU think & discern is wrong (and why?)
I am very sick. Although I want to win this battle, I feel like I am losing it quickly and that the end is near with how my brain is feeling so toxic and the persistant dizziness and swirling. Also, I think I have a lot of self defeating character defects that prevent me from really taking care of myself....codependence, skewed view of worth, etc
Thanks
