Case study part 2.

one month later.

Her shape has started to change, especially aroud her shoulders and upper back. however like most people she was only interested in the front !

The best thing for me was that her panic attacks had gone and she was not feeling so depressed. her sugar cravings had gone, she slept through the night, she was beginning to go to the loo in a more regular way, not perfect but we were on our way.

If she ate any anything that was not perfect she still had a tendency to blow up, which is not suprising as i always put a three month time scale on changing the fermentation in the gut.

She had stopped feeling sorry for herself and doing the little girl act, she could even see the funny side of her situation. we talked about what options she had in life and i encouraged her to keep a day book charting her feelings so that she could see a pattern develop. she began to see that if she let her blood sugar swing and drop everything looked dark and that life seemed much brighter when she kept it even. she realised that she had control over this and that she was not mad, there was a logic to these things.

I gave her the simple example of the person who has too much to drink, wakes up with a dreadful headache and nausea and is usually depressed. We do not question how we feel because its what we expect. the point is that we must learn to ask questions if we cannot put these symptoms down to alcohol.

She was now ready to move on. she was given stronger digestive enzymes and acidophilus and she could now tolerate the oil drink. she could move on to a more varied diet away from baby food but slowly. for example she could have lovely soups and stews and fish sliced and cooked in a sauce of dill and fresh fenugreek. Fenugreek is wonderful but difficult to find unless you have an iranian shop near by. however it is very easy to grow yourself.
