Back in April, I told you about a health problem I was having: recurring bladder and kidney infections that had put me in the hospital twice. I also told you that I was going to use this as a self-healing exercise, because I didn't want to be on constant antibiotics and other medications, or cause damage to my kidneys.
Now that it's September, I wanted to update you on my progress: I'm healed. I am not on any medication, and have not had an infection since I wrote that post. I weaned myself off the antibiotics, listening to my body and taking them in a precautionary manner only when I had a sense of discomfort. And then I stopped using them altogether a couple of months ago.
I don't intend to have this problem again. I'll check back in one more time in a few months just to re-confirm that my healing is permanent.
]]>For the past year, I have been struggling with recurring bladder and kidney infections. I've been in the hospital twice. Two different urologists were quite certain that I had interstitial cystitis, a chronic irritation of the bladder lining that never goes away. The first doctor gave me some prophylactic antibiotics and a list of about 400 foods to eliminate from my diet. All of this without an actual diagnosis. At my insistence, the second doctor conducted a cystoscopy. (Take your health into your own hands!)
There was no evidence of cystitis! Which I already knew, since I had decided that I was not going to have a chronic bladder condition for the rest of my life. But I also could not have the recurring infections, because I could damage my kidneys that way. So, I've decided not to have them anymore, either. So far, so good.
Will this really work? Yes. I know it will, because I have healed myself before. I had migraine headaches. I got rid of those. Being of delicate constitution (I used to have to take an antacid every day at 10 am in first grade) I had irritable bowel. Got rid of that. Like most red-blooded executives, I developed acid reflux, and was prescribed the purple pill. (You've seen it on television. A survey of the executive committee of which I was a member turned up several other people who were also on it. I think so many people now have acid reflux because we've been taught to have it by watching all of those commercials. Really! Do you remember acid reflux being such a huge problem ten years ago??) Decided to stop taking it a year ago or so, and haven't been back on it since. Got hit by an 18-wheeler in 1993, and as part of the damage from that accident, was told that I would never lift my left eyebrow again. Take a look at my videos, you'll see they were wrong.
So, here's what I did to cure myself this time: I decided that I was cured, and became thankful for my complete and utter recovery and perfect health.
My bet is that this health problem is over for me, but I promise to honestly report my results on this blog. Stay tuned! And I'd love to hear your stories about your own self-healing, or other fulfilled intention!
Wishing you every possibility! --K.
