Nancy Nylen
I love working with creative and artistic people, and people who are open to trying new methods to get their lives working in a more fine-tuned way. I have worked with people as a healer using a hands-on technique called Reiki and am a Reiki Master (which means I also teach it, on occasion). I have helped to heal all sorts of injuries and worked on people who are ill with serious diseases such as cancer, and I have helped several people in their final stages of death and dying or any person who is in need of healing.
Several months after I had delivered my second child, I felt as if I was fighting off the flu. The symptoms were flu-like, with severe bouts of diarrhea that but kept coming and going over a period of weeks. Just as I thought I was better, it would return and zap my strength and energy, which was already pretty maxed out with a new infant and a 2-year-old son who was extremely active.
I finally broke down and went to a doctor, describing the symptoms I had been having. He told me I had to come back after a week of collecting stool samples to diagnose what he suspected was a form of parasites in my intestines. Bugs…..yuck! So, I went home and collected the required samples, and returned to the doctor's office. It was confirmed that I had some form of parasite, which apparently is a pretty common complaint, although most people aren't really sick from them. I was given a week's supply of some gnarly pills which I likened to taking Drano…cleans the pipes right out. All was good during the time when I was on the medication, but the day I stopped taking it, the protection was over.
Within a few days, the symptoms returned….laying me flat once again. The thought of having to take another round of those horrible pills didn't appeal very much either.
In the meantime, I had visited a chiropractor for another recurring issue: my back and neck have given me pain from years ago, probably due to the fact that I had some untreated scoliosis as a girl. The chiropractor was also informed about many other health issues, such as diet, etc. I asked him if he knew any other ways to deal with this issue of parasites, besides the prescription medicine I had been given.
He recommended that I try eating about 20-25 capsules a day of what is basically a papaya enzyme, to flush my system of the bugs. And to continue doing it for about 6 months to make sure it worked!
This seemed pretty extreme, but I was tired and sick and willing to try it. I stayed on those enzymes for a good long time…at least 6 months. I felt healthier almost immediately, without the sense of putting some extreme chemicals into my body. It was a lot less expensive and the method really worked. I have never forgotten, and keep a bottle of papaya enzymes handy in my cupboard for any digestion problems caused by eating meat. Of course, I wouldn't consider giving up eating meat forever, but I did cut down on that, too!
