On the Bright Side!


Okay, so yesterday I went to an N.A.E.T. specialist. I won't bore you with the details, but it is a form of alternate medicine that uses muscle response testing to find out what is wrong with you.....and when you deal with something as annoying as Fibromyalgia you must be open to these things. He came highly recommended by my dear friend. She calls him her "voo-doo doctor". Anyway, I got in on a half price deal so I went.

The bad news is that I have lots of things that my body does not tolerate, or I am "allergic" to. Some of these items (among a very long list that I won't bore you with) are things like corn, eggs, gluten, wheat, all sugars, some fruits, perfumes, chemicals, etc. etc.

As he was testing along he commented that my body was okay with "caffiene" and later "artificial sweeteners". I then told him I was glad because I love Diet coke. Well, let's test you for that, he said. Guess what? My body loves Diet Coke. hee hee. Enough of that basic staff of life stuff, Diet Coke is what my body loves! He felt he needed to clarify for me...."it is still poison-just a poison that your body doesn't seem to mind." I am still laughing. I went and had a big old one after the appt.

I want that Doctors name and phone number. I need a doctor to give me some good news like that. Wow! My luck though my body won't like it and it using it against me.

Holy cow! What can you eat except Diet Coke? - there is milk in EVERYTHING. I'll check for the Fermented Red Rice - he's been taking fish oil & flaxseed and eating oatmeal every morning for years. I have excellent cholesterol too, but I am pretty sure my body doesn't like Caffiene, Bummer!
