Medical Blinkers - patch up or heal?

Many shifts are happening all around us. Since most of us living now have no knowing only an outline of an idea of what these changes mean to us in the spiritual/physical/emotional/mental quotas we tend to fall back on our reliance on those in science to give us the answers and also to confirm what we are experiencing is really "real" or rather proven in science.

The truth is as Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden state... modern science has it's own black holes and therefore not all theories are true yet science in our world has set itself up as the GOD of modern times dictating what we can do and cannot, what we can believe in and what we can't. At times leaving us confused, alone and unsupported facing changes that frighten and overwhelm us.

I have recently come to a stop in my tracks. Various physical issues that could not get tied up together to fall into any of the pre-set criteria for a recognisable physical "Illness" as prescribed by the medical council of the UK. Caused me and my body to STOP in a frightening way.

I have been struggling with these symptoms on and off for over 2 years all seemingly culminating in my hospitalisation in early December 2009.

Each time I visited the GP I was booked in with a different medical practitioner. This caused lack of continuity. The main issue I had was that whenever I visited I was simply told to come back if things got worse I grew to telling myself there is no point visiting the doctor. Yet with pressure from my family I still went. My symptoms got so bad that I could not focus at work and eventually following my own reasoning that a good rest will help me return refreshed, I quit my job. It has been hard for me and my family. I started working albeit originally part-time when I was 13 and haven't stopped since!

We are all hardworking, growing up with the ethics of hard work and community contribution, so finding myself not working I constantly berated myself about not sorting myself out to be able to return to work quickly enough, causing myself additional untold pressure and stress I could have well done without.

Only recently following discussions with a nurse I realised that my GP had notched me up as a HYPOCHONDRIAC believing that I was wasting their time by visiting them so frequently and short of telling me not to come into the surgery each of the practitoners simply narrowed the field of concern to "new" symptoms that may have arisen since the last appointment and kept my appointments brief.

Never at any point did I consider my GP's clinical method of working with me and discounting all "previously" discussed symptoms to be incorrect, in fact I started believing I was being an hypochindriac.

I was looking for a medical "expert" or someone in the know that I could work alongside trying more individualistic tests and treatments including complementary therapies to help me get myself repaired in full so that I could go back to work, asap.

I told myself I did not want to take on any additional advice that might conflict with my knowledgeable GP and stayed away from therapies until I crashed and then I found myself begging for something to pick me up.

In December I experienced my first ever epileptic fit and was hospitalised that was when I felt on the human level, I was finally being listened to by doctors. What a state to get to, to get an "outcome"!

I have been treated on a select few of the symptoms I outlined above which I am totally grateful for and have the utmost respect and sincere thanks for the doctors, nurses and consultants concerned.

And yet having returned home I am once again disappointed to find that the consultants still continue to treat me like I am a mechanical mixture of separate parts that all need individual diagnoses and different specialists to consider each, a bit like a car may have to be taken apart to isolate that particularly annoying knocking in the engine that cannot be diagnosed whilst all the parts are en-situ.

This "separating" makes me really wild. I am a whole being of many parts I know, that is the theory I subscribe to, being that ALL of my various parts work together in conjunctions with each other not separate from each other. I am a not simply a robotic being. I have several elements to me and I am also affected by the environment I am living in. My theory being that my spirit-my mind-my body all work TOGETHER with my environment therefore all my symptoms need to be considered together as a whole to help me be well.

I am a complementary therapist. I always say complementary because for me and my counterparts what gives best results for us and our clients is when we work in COMPLEMENT to the "science" of modern medicine not in isolation or in opposition to it.

What I am trying to say is please consider me and my symptoms as a whole. Don't keep fobbing me off from one "specialist" to another - specialists who only "focus on individual parts of me rather then considering me and my symptoms as a WHOLE.

WHY on earth does it not make sense to these peons of science that what affects one part must surely have a link to another part of me? For example the pain in my leg and the feverish symptoms WERE connected they were the clue that I was on my way to an epileptic fit as was the increased blood pressure! Does that not hold a clue to any additional issues?

All the practitioners at my GP's surgery find my diagnoses absolutely fascinating yet none of them, not even having treated it before, or seen it first hand previously, feel that there may be more to the sickness as such. There perspectice is that now that I am on medication to prevent further epileptic seizures, I should accept that I am "cured" of all reason to highlight other symptoms. What am I supposed to do with these symptoms? Magic them away? of Ignore them? Which would you recommend?

They might as well be saying "What's wrong with you now? You've been rebooted, get on with it and do what you were built for! or even "Bearing in mind you are an older model you should just do what your hardware and software can manage, there's no real point fixing you, we may as well replace you with a newer model"

And when I mention the additional symptoms that are still there I get the "at your age there are likely to be some issues"... i.e. we all get old there's no fixing you just walk towards your old age gracefully!

"We have quotas to fill and targets to meet and yes your diagnoses is fascinating but stop you are over your 5 minutes allocated appointment time, goodbye". "NEXT!"

I am even more angrier and frustrated at this blinkered narrow minded attitude of all the GPs and specialist who will only look at either your nerves/brain/bones/heart/blood, etc in a segmented way!

These are the wise ones our nation's people turn to for health and well being when really all they are doing is patching us up until something worse happens and then the particular assembly line attendant who has been applying your plaster can push you along the assembly/disassembley line to the next "specialist". How tragic.

Recently a wonderful friend recommended a healer she had felt really connected to and someone who had made a big difference to her. I eventually succumbed to her suggestion. The lady I spoke to was personable and immediately set to work explaining to me that the shift of earth on it's axis has created an influx of higher frequency energetic influx onto our planet and evironment thus creating an energetic fog for those of us on the spiral of change.

She outlined a list of symptoms that people have been and are experiencing at present and guess what? All the symptoms I am experiencing are on her list! My God - I finally felt like someone knew what I was going through and that it wasn't my overactive imagination and I was really not being a hypochondriac!

I was so excited to speak to someone who did not write me off as an insane woman seeking attention through imagined symptoms and I felt relieved in my heart that it was not only me who was living through this experience, apparently many of us are experiencing these light shifts at these times and it is a bugger!

These symptoms include:
Chest Pains
On-going nausea & dizziness
Light headedness
Various bouts of on and off flu like symptoms
Lack of focus
Disorientation physical and mental
Memory loss
Feeling spaced out
Physical exhaustion during the day and full of beans at night
Changing eyesight
Mental confusion

amongst others.


The general advice from the healer is to take care of oneself. Be really patient with yourself and not try to rush back into work as I have been attempting. Listen to your body, when it's tired rest, when it feels ready to face the world do what you feel ready to do. Good organic nutrition and supplements specific to me are recommended.

If you want to know more about this then please mail be and I will fill you in.

Special thanks to my friend who continues to offer help and support despite my resistance. Her help has been and continues to be reassuring allowing me to believe that I am actually now moving out of my fog.

With these spectacular disparities in the medical field, tell me doctor, why do most of you choose to cast disdain on healers and therapists who treat people as a whole rather than a mechanical robot. Why are all of you so ready to scorn those you choose or those who practice complmentary therapies? Why do you believe chemicals that simply patch ups are the answer?
