Hi Doves…

As a general rule it’s my personality to shy away from asking for prayer…. As in:  stares at ground, kicks dirt clod, “aw shucks – I’ve got this!”   You know:  pretty independent!   Well, maybe that in itself is reason to humble my attitude & ask whoever will to pray.

My DH has diabetes, though by choice takes no medication but keeps it under control with supplements, exercising, and eating right (unlike his diabetic buddies who gulp down prescription drugs then head to the nearest ice cream counter & order the largest milk shake money can buy!!  No, sigh, I’m not kidding.)   My DH did good in that he dropped sugar cold turkey & colas and all sugars & corn syrup products.  He’s now working on cutting his milk consumption way down.  Being a guy, he loves, loves, loves red meat & probably eats way too much of it.  Not good at self-denial in giving up ALL foods though….. understandable!

At any rate, his numbers stay pretty balanced but he still has trouble with neuropathy.  And… he also has a “love affair” with corn products…. You HAVE to like Mexican food in our state!!  It’s a requirement to live here.   /smile!!   So thus, all that pesticide-herbicide-insecticide sprayed (GMO) corn!!!   Certainly cannot do body good!!    Granted I eat my share, too, but I also balance it with eating right and/or doing natural detoxes now & then.
 
Other than such slip ups, we both like to go the natural health route for as far as that will take us.  No prescription drugs, no doctors “guessing” and “practicing medicine” on us!!   Though when all else fails we sometimes go that route, then later return to the natural way to try to detox FROM the medication!!  Sigh…. Endless cycle!!   Though again overall it’s our preference to stay far and away from new age sorcery pharmaceuticals….. .which is why I started studying natural health to begin with!!   Medication all but ruined my health!  And in my personal case, the side effects became far more to deal with than the original problems!!  Plus the side effects lasted “for years”!!!

We’re also good to go with functional medicine, though would ask the Lord to direct us to the doctor who is best suited for us!!  Mainly he needs the problem SOLVED…. Diagnosed whether it really is only neuropathy, and where to go from there.  Meanwhile, has just returned to taking R-Lipoic Acid and B-12.

 

Thank you for praying!
