Hi all, I haven't been on the board since around 9 months or so. Its been almost a year since my symptoms were about gone. I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I'm still cured and doing quite well. For anyone that doesn't know or remember, I found the answers I was looking for in homeopathy after conventional medical doctors and neurologists failed me. Homeopathic doctors vary in skill and technique just the same as conventional medical doctors, so you'll find good ones and bad ones (so don't write it off if the first doc you find is a quack). If you're open minded and want to give homeopathy a shot I can from experience recommend finding a doctor with the following traits:1. Skilled in muscle response testing/bio-feedback techniques2. Chiropractor MD who uses gentle adjustment techniques3. Skilled in NAET or similar (Nabudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique)4. Has experience in digestive health (since our immune systems are primarily tied to the gut)That's basically it. Find a doc that's skilled and experienced in these areas and you should be in good hands. It took approximately 6 months of bi-weekly visits (on average), but I noticed gradual improvement along the way which encouraged me to continue and reassured me that I was on the right track. Each of us is different, but this is ultimately what led to my recovery. I hope and pray that it works for you as well. BFS was hell, and I would not wish it upon my worst enemy. Send me a PM with any questions and I'll be happy to help. I don't usually come here anymore so any response on the thread I may not see for a while. Thanks and good luck.Oh and if you live anywhere near St. Louis, MO or Dayton, OH I have doctors I can recommend as I was treated in both of these locations.
 
Hey,The fact that you're cured says nothing for the rest of us unfortunately, homeopathy has been proven time and time again to be nothing else but placebo, a very pricey one at that. I envy you though, i wish i could believe all this stuff and set a placebo effect so strong that it will actually modulate my immune system and cure me, but unfortunately i'm a notorious pessimistic and skeptic so that works against me in this situation.Anyways, i appreciate that you're trying to be helpful and that you don't go zealot like the chronic lyme guy did some time ago, but keep an open mind that if these things actually would work they would be curing cancer in the hospitals with homeopathy right now, homeopathy works for you because YOU believe in it.
 
We say here: who heals is right . I found a lot of alternative medicine actually very helpful. While homeopathie never worked for me, e.g. acupunkute helped me several times. And osteopathie...WOW, that's my thing!!! I know a very skilled osteopathic working physio-therapist , and he did wonders for me.I haven't seen him for BFS , maybe I will give it a try. I wouldn't call homeopathy a placebo, only because it doesn't work for me.
 
I call it a placebo because science proved it is one, in the other alternative disciplines there haven't been enough studies to prove that they are or not useful, but for homeopathy it was proven it doesn't work, as for me, i took many homeopathic meds, including oscillococcinum for colds and never did i get any response, if it worked for you it's not due to the content of the actual potion, it's due to how you feel about it. The placebo effect is the best thing one can get, it actually produces real tangible results, but it's not due to what you swallow, you might as well just touch the bottle, or think about the bottle, if you believe it will help there will be some benefit, it's that strong. As for the other alternative medicine medicines, i tend to believe that the older something is, the higher the chance there is some merit to the claim, so chinese acupuncture and medicine might work, there have been some cases where modern medicine was wrong regarding chinese herbs: . So the jury is out on ancient medicine and herbs, but for stuff like homeopathy that was invented recently (20th century), well, i made my point.
 
I also tried a lot of it.Well, homeopathy for me didn't work and neither did these bach's flowers. But I know a lot of people that swear that it helps really good for them. Now I guess what might help are these Schüssler's salts with BFS. If it is caused by irregularities of the nerve's menbrane due to stress/autoimmune or whatever, it is possible to influence the membranes potential by the ions you take in. Actually these are the ones that build it up and make currents flow along the membrane surface. But one has to be very careful, depending on what causes the irregularities it can also make it worse. So I guess there may be people here that profit from the one ion, the nextr one from another. And I'm quite sure that some people would even benefit from having some ion levels LOWER than recommendet. But as we don't know what's actually wrong with our nerves, we can only try things to find out what works.
 
In defense of SAM, there is some interesting quasi-science about what he did. No it is not necessarily scientifically proven and it didn't work 100% for me. But here it is:1. You take antibiotics which kills the bad and good bacteria in your small intestine2. Without the good bacteria your small intestine does not digest nutrients properly3. Lack of nutrients causes auto immune disorder problemsPersonally while it didn't cure me, I believe this to be at least partially true. I do not take flu shots nor antibiotics. If I get ill I suffer through it. I suppose if something was to kill me I would take an antibiotic. But we use it for common colds and to stop animals from getting sick. We use anti-bacterial to was our hands when soap and water work fine. The use of antibacterial and antibiotic in the U.S. is just crazy.My 2 cents...
 
Well SAM,Iintially i thought to post something rational and explain to you that mentioning quantum physics by a health practitioner is a red flag for quackery, as is almost evertything that you said but i won't bother.I won't take the hope away from desperate people that want to try homeopathy as a last resort or alternative, please do so ... I am willing to try anything that has the slightest chance of being valid, like herbal medicine and vodoo but not homeopathy as it has been proven to be quackery multiple times, or who knows, maybe the quantum particles in the homeo potion that were in overimposed states chose to collapse the wave function and differentiate into an universe where doctors observe them and they do nothing, you can never know ... :)PS. Thanks for calling me ignorant.PPS. If homeopathy was used in hospitals
 
I'll be the first to admit that I don't understand the science of all of this, however, I do believe that the mind has unbelievable power. Look at how alot of us manifested more problems after googling. I wish we had a homeopathic Dr. around here, but I live in the sticks and I think the closest one is like 50 miles away, and of course not covered by insurance.In my younger years when I had severe social anxiety I was put on medication. I hated the way it made me feel. I quit that and went to a center for healing arts and learned about meditation and visualization. It helped me infinitely more than the medication, and I still use it today.
 
Ok SAM,You convinced me, what do i have to do to get cured of this, can you give me some advice to go to some particular practitioner? Or are all the good homeo/chiro/cold reading/remote viewing doctors in the USA? I suppose if i go to one and i don't get any results the doctor was not good? Did you use any diet, supplements? I just want to try it to draw my conclusion based on my experience, although i tried homeopathy and never got any results.
 
Sorry, I don't come back to the community very often anymore but a friend tipped me off that there were some comments in one of my old threads so here I am... j_sageurge, I'm glad to hear that you've had some personal experiences in the 'spooky' areas of science that get glazed over or ignored by the mainstream. I find them fascinating. Ever since my experience with alternative medicine practitioners that could use bio-feedback techniques that had me in awe at how they worked, I started a quest that lead me down a path in researching the metaphysical and correlating the explanations of how they work back to quantum physics. It is true that the only difference between science and magic is the passage of time. It does make one wonder how in ancient times people seemed to have a pretty good handle on certain aspects of our humanity that have since been lost and are now ridiculed or shunned from the mainstream. The ability to 'remote view' is not a special gift that only a few have, it is built in and hardwired into each of us. The third eye (mind's eye) is medically referred to as the pineal gland and it is located in the center of the brain directly behind the center of your forehead just above the eyes. It looks like a pine cone and thus it is often symbolized or depicted as such. When you go back and look at all of the ancient cultures and religions of the world you often see pine cones in their symbology. The Vatican has an entire shrine dedicated to this gland, as a pine cone. This short youtube video shows it: What does all this mean? It seems the founders of the worlds religions understood the importance of our ability to 'up link' and perceive the world/universe beyond our physical bodies and the artificial limitations we impose on ourselves. What does all this have to do with BFS and getting better? Well, it means that your thoughts mean more to your well being and the life experience that unfolds before your eyes than you have ever given them credit for. There is an aspect to the universe that has largely gone unnoticed by most of us for most of our lives. That aspect is referred to as the Law of Attraction in literature, videos and websites today. You could write a book on the Law of Attraction (LOA) and in fact many have. 'The Secret' came out in 2006 or 2007. The Esther and Jerry Hicks series precedes that. Understanding the LOA is a big step in the right direction towards getting over BFS. I unfortunately had to learn about it the hard way. Knowing about it sooner would have probably shortened my recovery time. Had I known about it in 2006 or 2007 I probably wouldn't have gotten sick in the first place. Then again, had somebody told me about it back then I probably would have never believed in it in the fist place.
 
Can I just say that I love this conversation? The two of you really know the realms of parapsychology in such depth. This is fascinating to read.Mitra
 
Thanks Mitra! And thank you j_sageurge, I really enjoyed the short video you posted. The astrology relationships are everywhere if you really look hard. I read a book called 'Fingerprints of the Gods' about how important astrology was in the alignment of ancient structures such as the pyramids. The fact that the axis of the earth shifts only one degree every 72 years and makes a full cycle every 25,920 years is acknowledged in their works as well. There was far too much going on than has ever been acknowledged by the main stream today.
 
This is why I come back every once in a while to the forum - different perspectives, whether you agree with them or not, allow you to explore. And exploring, allows you to grow. I have, so many times tried to get people here to try meditation as it was one of the few things that actually helped me when I was most plagued by symptoms. What does it hurt to try? but it seems most people don't want to even consider it. I posted links to guided meditations as there are institutes that are continually investigating how it helps people, some of them within/adjacent to major health complexes, so a lot of it is not very 'out there'.This bout with bcfs did lead me to also read about the unconscious mind which has much overlap into the topics you, SAman and j_sageurge, are discussing. The odd thing about this all is that being a natural skeptic and working in science did not seem to conflict with any of the topics that some feel are 'weird' . Anybody with any science background should be able to see that we still have an incredible amount of discovery to make; whether it is pertaining to our minds, our curious existence, or physical sciences. Of course there will always be bunk out there but looking for the truth in the spaces between is how we learn new things about ourselves and the world.Yes, thanks for starting this thread :)
 
Ya, you're right about that one - if someone is not ready, no amount of expounding on the benefits of meditation are going to encourage them. It is an exercise in 'being there' which takes some determination after all. Hey did you see that Peter Sellers movie "Being There"? :D) it was basically about a rather limited guy who lived in the present - 'being there' allowed him to simply state things and this was mistaken for wisdom. The best part is the outtake at the end when the credits start to roll, you know, like the goof-ups they show at the end of the Jackie Chan films. Here is just the credit run: It's funnier after you've seen the movie but still.....Here is a link to some guided meditations - for those of us, who fall out of practice or just need a little help and direction to get our minds free.
 
So I am curious, with those of you who have explored meditation and have researched into the power of the mind and our conciousness, have you tried setting intentions towards overcoming your BFS? If so and have been unsuccessful, I would like to offer some of the things that helped me.1. Don't accept BFS as something you will have for the rest of your life. When I was diagnosed I somehow knew at my core that this was not permanent. I did not accept it and never gave up on trying to find answers rather than coping drugs, supplements or methods.2. When setting intentions, don't use the word twitch, anxiety or any other symptom description or term. Instead say things like "I am calm, I am in control of my thoughts and my body, or I am perfectly healthy." If you don't believe it when you say it, keep saying it. If you've ever heard about how pathological liars lie so many times that they start to believe it, well that's what you want to do. Say it until you start to believe it. The power of the mind and your conciousness is more than you know or think you know. 3. Don't give up on this. It may take days, weeks, months, or even over a year but I guarantee you that over time you will see positive changes if you apply this logic towards intending what you want.To elaborate on number 2 above, the reason you don't want to use symptom terms or descriptions is because the conciousness does not know negatives. Saying "I will not twitch," and "I am calm" might sound like the same thing to the logical mind, but in reality they are two completely different. Its kind of like if someone tells you not to think of bananas. Guess what you just thought of? Bananas! Think of the positive not the negative. When you think of the negative in terms of not wanting it, you are still thinking of that negative thing and thus you are giving it your energy and attention. You want to give your energy and attention to the outcome you want, not the outcome you don't want.
