Hi Courtney,

Thanks for your letter. I became a colon therapist when out of desperation for
answers I walked into a clinic at the corner of my street after walking home in
a zombie state from my appointment at the Dr with what I thought was the
begining of an ulcer but which turned out to be multiple cysts in my abdominal
region. I went to the Dr. because I had constant heart burn and I would throw
up afteer eating and I lost alot of weight in those couple days. Like I said I
thought it was the begining of an ulcer - I was stressed and without control of
life at the
time.

So, I just had a CT scan and had the "liquid metal drip" and barium drink and I
walk into this clinic to get info on Hulda Reugehr Clark - I was looking for
people that knew her methods as I was desperate. As it turned out I had two
colonics one that day and one the next day. This was because I was worried
about that metal stuff in my system and I wanted to clean it out of me! I also
purchesed a parasite cleanse that consisted of the ingrediants in Clarks book.
I followed the most strict guidelines for three weeks and thats when I began my
new life. It
was very difficult at first because I didnt have support - only those I was
beginning to meet - Its neat how people start to enter your life when you need
them most!!!! As it would be the clinic was starting a training to be colon
therapist. It was intense but only five days. 12 hrs/day. I practiced this
modality for about three mmonths but realized I wasnt cut out for it and left
that but was lucky enough to meet a lady in the class who turned into a good
friend and "my personal nurse" I get colonics about every two months but like
to have once per month on or around the beginning of my period. I learned most
of what I know from that course alone and it has been the basis of my knowledge
since.

That was three years ago. During the next year or so I did all kinds of
cleanses (but not the liver flush?) and read all the books I could find on
health and nutrition. I am pretty much self-taught and it was on the advise of
"my nurse" that I take the nutritional consulting course. She had just finished
it and I knew it was a breeze based on what I already knew. So I took the
course a year ago and I will be fully licsensed in Feb 2000. It was the paper
that I needed to consult for a living - which I havent decided yet how I will
put it to use. There are so many options to choose from its a great field to
be in right now. I have spent a year and a half as a sales rep for a natural
foods distributor and I have worked parttime in a health food store. Now Im on
hiatus in FLA and resting. The sales job did a number on my health and I about
had a nervous break down!!!! The irony is I left a carrer in the music biz for
the health biz and my health got worse as it has ever been???????? That will
change when I get back to Toronto as I will not let that happen again!

So, just before I cam e to FLA I looked at my CT cans which I had buried in my
closet - I demanded them from the surgeon afterwards - and read what the results
were which said something about cholecystitis which I know now as GALLSTONES.
duh! The Dr's had a really neat name for my condition - MULTI-CYSTIC MUCUNOUS
CYSTADENOMA OF THE PANCREAS!!!! WOW and its rare in someone my age (26 at the
time) of course my lifestyle changes would do nothing for my condition and it
would only help me prep for surgery. They wanted to book a WHIPPLE over the
phone and I wanted more info. They were pissed at that - I was not what they
were expecting. Im a rebel at heart and am skeptical of those who claim to be
GOD so I just told him to forget it. See Ya LAter. The procedure is RADICAL
and is up there with brain surgery! You can understand my concerns. Besides I
never felt so good in my life at that point (after some cleansing and diet
change w/ no booze/smokes, etc.) I really started to live at that point. I had
died on the table while getting the first ultrasound - what a trip! Besides I
just
knew it would be the beginning of a SLOW DEATH for me. I have alot of energy
and still did at that time there was no way I was going to sacrifice my life
like that - too much to still do. And they told me it was slow growing so I
had/have time on my side. Thank you time.

It does get me down at times - I live closely with this blob of goo and I know
my life will change again when I dissolve them. It will be my miracle and Im
preparing for that as we speak. This will be the most difficult thing I have
done for myself and boy have I learned alot in three years. It just never
ends!!!!!!! Im glad to have found this site - it appears to be on the ball with
reagard to health healing and responsibility for ourselves - I can relate to
that.


I hope I havent put you to sleep - thats basically my story in a nutshell.

Kind regards
tricia
