I give up?....your MS

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Shoshana,

Tell us what you are experiencing. Give us a picture. How is your

digestion? Your diet?

I assume your myelin sheath is being compromised. I will send you

an attachment that covers the principles of the Ayurvedic approach to

Rheumatic Disease which is another auto-immune disease. I hope it

resonates for you and can give you a sense for a strategy that will work.

I have a wonderful friend in Alaska who has "MS". We see it as

having been brought about by her exposure to mercury as a child in the

gold mines of Nome. Years of chelation therapy have kept things from

completely falling apart and were slowly cleaning out the mercury. She

has been on the edge of death so many times.

She also uses a Chi Machine (

http://www.chi-machine.net/chi_machine.htm or http://chinow.com )

religiously. The recovery she has made over the last few months defies

all of the doctors' prognosis's.

I have connected her with a number of the mantric audio tapes and

particularly the Gong Cd "Ringing the Tree of Life" which she uses while

she is on the Chi Machine. She is always awake in the Amrit Vela doing

this routine along with listening to calming Guru Ram Das (Wahe Guru

Kaur - Ambrosia Sadhana) chants. What's really a GAS is that she is a

percussionist and even while she is gigging onstage.... playing Santana

covers, she has these same mantra chants playing through her walkman

while she is performing. Nobody can understand how she does it. She

doesn't even understand the mantras but they keep her nervous system in

the proper place. She is constantly nursing herself and mind through

breath and bringing herself back to health. She maintains peace,

everything else is second. It's a full time job.

Her constant body heat and drenching sweating is gone. She is walking

much easier. So many things have improved for her. A certain amount of

damage is, we suppose, is irreversible, but who knows, she is not even

supposed to be alive now! and she has totally dropped Western Meds in

her victory.

She is very aware of her source or Kundalini. She is doing the "Early

Morning Sadhana" video tape by Nirvair Singh Khalsa. Lately she has been

doing Cell Tech products and some Ayurvedic preparations. This may all

be too much information and maybe not.

That's what I can offer right now. Don't hesitate to write me online or off.

 

Sat Nam

May all love surround you,

Dharam

 

"There is no single therapy for cancer and consumption. The Ay-urvedic

approach to both involves whittling away at the strength of the disease

while rebuilding the individual's immune power, to create a climate in

which Nature can cure. Whatever the therapy, rejuvenation is essential

to invigorate the Dhatus and revitalize the organism. In potentially

fatal diseases like cancer and consumption the normal sequence of

treatment steps is reversed. When you are injured in an ac-cident you

must initially get first aid for the injury, and then worry about

everything else. Likewise, in serious disease you may first have to

pre-serve life and only then consider how to purify and balance the

system. Therefore, for cancer and consumption, our procedure often be-comes:

 

Rejuvenation first:

to preserve life.

 

Balancing the Doshas second:

to strengthen the patient and weaken the disease.

 

Panchakarma next:

to purify the system.

 

Removal of the emotional cause of the condition thereafter:

when the patient is ready for it.

 

 

This may hold true even if the disease is not yet grave, especially when

a mental predisposition is the main cause. One of my friends complained

that when the pressure to "achieve" in her work, in her rela-tionship

mounted in her it would eventually create a fever. The fever would bum

away all her accumulated nervous energy and leave her temporarily

relaxed, but would return again and again. She asked my advice.
