What on Earth is going on in some doctors surgeries?
This doesn’t make any sense to me. If I went to my doctor now with the list of my symptoms, all from me having Multiple Sclerosis, I would have to make about 15 different appointments, and I would probably still not be diagnosed with MS! As every symptom taken on its own doesn’t add up to anything in particular. But put them all together and a a very clear picture emerges. Now I’m mentioning this because I have a patient at the moment who is showing many MS symptoms, but she’s having a nightmare trying to get the medical world to listen to her. Now I’m not a doctor, I’m not medical in anyway and I don’t diagnose. But when a patient, who is also a friend is in trouble, showing many of my symptoms and I know she knows what her symptoms could mean, I feel helpless. The spiritual healing she is receiving is helping her, she leaves my home feeling a different (happy) person, but then her muddled life crowds back in on her again. I felt so helpless last week. A few years ago I told her about the problems I used to have when I went to a dentist. I have had one or two horrendous experiences with dentists, due to being laid back to far in a dentist chair. I have had Laryngospasm’s in the past. A drop of water can cause this, or an intake of breath the wrong way. Unless you have experienced this yourself you will never know how fighteneing this is when it’s happening. It’s sometime called dry drowning’. So no water at the back of my throat please, or I will panic. Anyway, she knew all about my problem. Well, bless her. She had the same experience herself just last week. She’s now terrified to go back to the dentist and I’ve got to be honest, I don’t blame her. Fortunatly a semiretired doctor at her surgery has organised for her to see a speech and swallowing specialist and I’m secretly hopping they will find she does indeed have a problem and then perhaps someone will allow her to have an MRI scan of her brain. Each time she sees a different doctor and she tries to tell them about the fact she has numerous symptoms, they tell her, sorry you can only talk about one. How crazy is that. I’ve even suggested to her that she takes a hand written list of all of her symptoms, but I don’t know if any of the doctors at the surgery would read it. If that had been me in 1980, I might never have got a diagnosis, I might never have had the MRI scans and I might still think I have ‘green slime disease.’ (You need to read my first book to get that one.) I just hope and pray that one day she will be given an MRI scan and then she might find out once and for all if she does have MS. Instead of her worry herself silly, not knowing what’s wrong. Blessings always to everyone.

If you have Multiple Sclerosis like me, or, you are in pain of any kind then this blog is a must read.
This is going to be a long one. I think it’s very important that my message gets out through social media. If you are reading this and you can pass it on or retweet it, please do . I will be eternally grateful. Why? Because it might just help someone. I promised last year that I would write about my hospital appointment, the one I had last November with my MS doctor. So here goes... I only see him once a year and that’s my choice. I keep the contact and touch base with him to keep my options open. I’m no spring chicken, and I have know idea what may happen to me as the years roll on. Because I’m not taking any pharmaceutical medication, it’s actually very good of him to even see me. I could almost be accused of wasting his time. However he’s always very nice with me, but he knows better than to offer me drugs or should I say pharmaceutical medicine. He knows I’m well into natural remedies, vitamins, herbs and tinctures. It is always lovely to see him. It’s good to have a catch up and find out if there are any breakthroughs. I may be a healer, but I’m always interested in any progress the medical world may be making. But let’s face it, there’s been almost no progress in the last fifty years. They still don’t know what causes MS. Me, I have my own theory and you can read all about that in my second book, ‘Beyond Time’. You’ll find both my books on Amazon uk and Amazon.com for the rest of the world. I do count myself very fortunate. I’m not going to say lucky, blessed might be a better word. I’ve had MS since 1964 and that’s a very long time in anyone’s book, and on most days I’m fine. My brain is very scared, so many lesions on my brain they are to numerous to count. That was from an updated MRI scan in 2013. So don’t anyone say I don’t have MS. I’ve been known to walk with two sticks, I’ve been known not to be able to walk at all, but that was over 35 years ago now. So I’m doing much better now, then I was then. And if you want to know how? you will have to read me first book, Different? ... You Have Always Been Different. I make no apology for the book plugs. If I don’t tell you about them, you’ll never find them and that would be a shame as my writing is helping many people. The doctor always asks me lots of question. How far can I walk these days without needing a rest? How are my water works working (or not). How is my speech and the list goes on. The only thing that still bothers me is the tingling pain I get in my neck and shoulders and that’s why I asked him for a prescription for medical marajarna. So what was his response to my request? He immediately said. “I would love to give you one ... if I could. But I can’t because I’m not allowed to, it’s not been licensed yet, because it’s not been tested. Until it is licensed, my hands are tied. I can however give you a prescription for a Sativex spray. I would be happy to do that. But unfortunately the NHS are not supporting it, so it would be a private prescription and it will cost you about £375 plus VAT for a months supply”. I nearly fell of my chair when he told me the price and then he told me that quite a few of his patients were taking it. He explained to me that the prescribed dose was 7 sprays a day, but a lot of his patients were only using three or four to make their prescriptions last longer.He also explained that the effect of it didn’t last very long, so the benefit was short lived. He also said I would be amazed at the number of people that were contacting him each week asking him for medical marajarna. He hoped that testing would start soon. He also told me (and this was news to me) that England was the biggest producer of medical marajarna in the World. We are supplying it to every other country, but we are not allowed it ourselves!!! As it happened I had taken my own CBD pump dispenser to show him, to see what he thought of what I was using. He looked and read the contents. He explained to me that the product I had was four times stronger than anything he could prescribe for me. He asked me how much it cost and I told him. About £59 a month. So with a smile on his face he suggested I stuck to what I was using, because it was much better (and cheaper) than anything he could prescribe me. So, what do I use. Go to ‘ The Tonic ‘ web site and read all about The Tonic Tribe. It’s a little shop in Hebdon Bridge in Yorkshire. They have a very good web site explaining all their products and you can order from them on line. I use the 6% water soluble CBD pump. It’s got a very earthy taste (I actually like it). I use two pumps each night before I go to bed and it’s working. The tingling and pain in my shoulders and neck was always worst at night. But after a few days of using the pump, tingling gone and I’m sleeping like a log. No more restlessness and feeling as if I needed to run around the block (not that I ever could). Just lovely and peaceful and restful and quickly of to dreamland. I’m not connected in anyway to ‘The Tonic’ so I’m not benefitting in anyway by giving them a plug, I’m just telling you all exactly what was said to me by my MS doctor, and what I’ve been doing myself, to help myself. I did tell him I was going to get some marajarna seeds and grow some for myself. So if he (or you) reads about a grandma getting arrested, you’ll know who it is. I made him and his nurse laugh and that’s always a good thing. OK that’s it. Please pass this along, Retweet if possible or pass it on in anyway you can. Thank you. Blessings always. It’s amazing how just a few words spoken by someone can bring back such powerful memories, and the truth is I’m not sure which words sparked this one. Perhaps I’ll remeber be for I’m finished.
Many years ago and I do mean many, on the day I past my driving test my father handed me the keys to one of his companies vehicles, sounds grand, but it wasn’t. An old mini van if my memory is correct and he said to me. “Now you can go and learn how to drive.” As I tried to drive away I realised I had the hand brake on.... That’s a great memory and a great analogy for me to use in my healing work, in fact if my memory is correct I used that little story in my first book; Different?...You Have Always Been Different. I used to wake up every morning worrying incase the healing energy would not flow through me that day. How would I be able to help? I would not be able to heal anyone. What would I say to people. I would look so stupid? Please Lord don’t let that happen. And of course it never did, and it never has. That wonderful healing energy has been there for me everyday without fail for many many years now. Thank you Lord. I think that was the question that sparked all of this. A patient asked me yesterday if spirit people and angels still worked with me? And did I still hear ‘the voices’ telling me what to do. Read my first book if your interested and you’ll find out. I had lent her my copy of ‘Hands of Light’ by Barbara Ann Brennan about eighteen years ago ( I bought that book for £7.99) sometime in the 1980’s. She had remember the lovely illustrations in the book of a healer working with many Celestial Beings surrounding her, helping her as she worked. My patient wanted to know if they were all still working with me and the answer thank God was and God willing, will always be ‘Yes’. But the truth is, I don’t stop to think about this. Its only when I’m asked and that’s not very often, because I don’t talk about it to very many people. My Celestrial friends and family are so much part of me. They have been with me all my life, working with me for the past thirty five years. I do say thank you to them all at the end of each and everyday and I often blow them kisses. If they weren’t beside me I’d probably fall over. They are my support, my help, my guidance, my strength and my second sight. I couldn’t be the healer I am without them and I wouldn’t want to be. I’m grateful for the prompt and the memories, and I’m more than grateful to all my Celestial friends. If you are a healer Barbara Ann Brennan’s book ‘Hands of Light’ is a must read. It’s about £22 now. Its gone up in price some what over the past thirty five years, but it’s worth every penny. Enjoy. Love and blessings to everyone. Do you remember me telling you the story of the little boy who comes to see me for treatments? If you can’t, please look back through my blog posts, it was titled ‘It doesn’t get any better than this’. Well he’s just been back to see me for another treatment, and bless him, he gave me yet another lovely moment. When I started his treatment he was making a funny noise after every few breaths and I was a bit concerned for him. His mum explained to me that he had had his winter flue jab at school the previous day. Actually it wasn’ t a jab, it was a syringe put up his nose. I’m not up-to-date anymore with the modern way in which things are done as my children are both grown up. I do however remember the sugar cube instead of the polio jab, but a syringe up your nose is a new one on me. Anyway, it had affected his breathing, again. The same thing happened last year, but I’d forgotten. This little boy first started coming to see me a couple of years ago to see if I could help with his asthma. After just a few treatments his asthma had almost gone, much to everyone’s relief and it’s stayed away. When he was suffering he would get very agitated and upset when he needed to use his inhalers. Now he only has them as a preventative and no more upsets. And no attacks for a very long time. Thank you Healing energy. But the other day he was struggling a bit and it was obvious. After a little while, his breathing started to settle down and the funny noises stopped and by the time his treatment was over he was smiling. So I said to him, “That’s better.” And our nine year old replied. “Yes Isabella, thank you. My breathing is much better now.......I needed that.” From the mouths of babes. When I started writing my blog I made myself a promise. I would record all the little things that happened to me both on the days I was working as a healer and on my ‘ordinary’ days, not that any day is ordinary. I seem to spend most of my time in a slightly different world from most people and I often forget this and that’s not good. I never want to become complacent, I never want to take anything for granted. I may have Multiple Sclerosis, but please Lord, help me to remember how blessed I am.
I’ve lost count of the number of times my family have told me that I live in my own world, in my very own bubble. I’m so fortunate, my bubble is a wonderfully safe haven. A relaxing place filled with the energy of love and healing, Angels, Spirit friends, guardians of the earth and the Universe and some wonderful special spirit helpers and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is me, reminding me to be grateful everyday for the blessings I am given. I have a smile on my face as I’m writing this, my smiley lady has been again today for a treatment and as I was starting her treatment she told me she was feeling wonderful, she said was completely out of pain and then she told me she thought I was amazing. As a healer it’s nice to have nice things said to me, but it’s very important that I keep reminding anyone who comes to me that it’s not me that does the work. I’ve lost count of the number of times I have to say this to my patience’s. “It’s not me that does the healing, I’m just the instrument. Please thank the Universe, or if you prefer you could thank God, or you could thank your guardian angels, but please, it’s not me that’s healed you. Me, please ust give me a cuddle.” Thank you Lord for allowing me to be an instrument for your amazing healing energy, thank you for allowing me to be able to help in such a wonderful simple way and please, don’t ever let me forget. Blessings always. It’s amazing how a few simple words can mean so much.
I had a patient yesterday who was feeling very despondent because she was in so much pain and she didn’t know which of her ailments were causing it. This lady has arthritis, fibromyalgia and ME so she has her fair share of problems to cause her pain in so many places. In fact she said the only places that weren't hurting were her elbows. At the end of her treatment I could see by her face that she was much more relaxed and at peace with herself. As a healer we all want to help people to the best of our ability, knowing of course that actually it’s not us that does anything, we are all just the instruments. The wonderful healing energy that fills the Universe is there for everyone to use if we are willing and it’s very important for all of us as healers to remember that we on our own can do nothing. But with love in our hearts and a willingness and the patience to want to help, it’s amazing what can be done. And yesterday for me in its own very simple way, was no exception. I asked her how she was feeling when her treatment was over and she smiled up at me from my healing couch and said. “I feel all smiley. I feel all filled up with smiles.” What a lovely way for her to be feeling, and of course her words put a smile on my face and in my heart. There was no need for me to ask her if she was out of pain, that actually didn’t matter because she was all filled up with smiles. What an amazing job I have, being able to put a smile on someone’s tired face may seem a very simple thing to do, it is, but that doesn’t stop it from being very special. On the days I’m working as a healer my heart is filled with love and a wonderfull kind of magic and I’m often given smiles. Wow, thank you to the Universe for reminding me. Blessings always. Multiple Sclerosis and another one of my tips that works, for everyone. Tried and tested by me.9/11/2018 HI there everyone it’s me again.
Its funny how I seem to get different patients with the same problem coming to see me in the same week. This week two ladies having difficulty sleeping. In the same week I just happen to be writing about sleeping problems on my blog page. And of course for me there is no such thing as a coincidence. My first suggestion to them both was the tip I gave you all a few days ago about having a bath in magnesium crystals (Epson salts) and here is my second tip, tried and tested by me. If you are like me and have Multilpe Sclerosis sleeping can be a problem for a variety of different reasons, so any tip is useful. But of course my tip can be equally used by anyone. Very few people actually breathe properly and this especially applies to sleep time. If you find yourself unable to fall asleep, try this. You need to consciously breathe in deeply through your nose and out through an almost closed mouth. Your out breath should be gentle enough to bend the flame on a candle, but not blow it out. Try it while your sitting watching the telly, or sitting reading. In through your nose and out through your mouth. On the rare occasions that I find my mind is all over the place after I’ve gone to bed, thank goodness I remember what to do. I start my breathing exercise, in through my nose as deeply as I can and out through my mouth and of course I keep doing it. Breathing in deeply is very important. And the next thing I know it’s morning. It works for me and if you practise it will work for you. The reason it works is because our brains need plenty of oxygen to allow our minds to be peaceful and if we don’t breathe properly it simply doesn’t get the oxygen it needs, so we end up tossing and turning all night. Its got to be worth a try and it won’t cost you anything. And next time I’ll give you another little tip you can add to this. Blessing always. Hi everyone it’s me again.
Your going to need to read my last blog to make any sense of this follow on information. While your lying in bed all snug and warm after your magnesium salts bath (two blogs ago) breathing in deeply through your nose and out through a slightly open mouth (last blog) it would be a really good idea if you used your mind to take you to a very special place. A place of peace and calm just for you. Please let me explain. If I could wave a magic wand and transport you to the place of your dreams, where would you like to go? It could be anywhere. The top of the highest mountain. On a beautiful white coral beach, as you watch the sun setting over the aqua blue sea. Or even up above the earth as you float on a pure white fluffy cloud. There isn’t anywhere you can’t go in your mind, in perfect safety. So find your sanctuary, find your special place and transport yourself. I’ve had the same sanctuary for many years now, a place of peace just for me. Your mind is a very powerful tool, so use it. Instead of lying in bed tossing and turning and worry about not being able to sleep, transport yourself, it won’t cost you anything. Blessings always Rememebering that I'm no Spring chicken and I've had MS for 54 years, I have managed to accumulate quite a lot of usefull helpful tips over the years.
All tried and tested by me. I would like to point out that my first tip can be used by anybody, you don’t have to have MS to benefit by it, It’s especially useful for babies and young children. We all know that sometimes it’s difficult for us to get to sleep and that can sometimes apply to little ones. Having a soothing bath just before bedtime can help, but what helps even more is to put some magnesium crystals into your bath water. Trust me, that’s far easier to do than you might think. Magnesium is well known to help you relax and of course if you are relaxed you have a much better chance of being able to drift away into dream land. If you have a restless child magnesium can really help to calm, again very soothing before bedtime. Epson salts - is Magnesium. I buy Epson salts in bulk from a well known online store, delivered free and it’s quite cheep. I use it every night in my bath from a couple of scoops to a cupful, just depends how I’m feeling. It’s soothing and helps make my bath water very soft. And as I’m soaking in the warmth of the water, my body is absorbing the magnesium. So by the time I’m ready for bed I drift away relatively easily. It’s got to be worth a try for you if you have difficulty sleeping. Espson salts is Magnesium, and our bodies all need it. So if you don’t take magnesium tablets let you skin absorb it by having a soothing bath in it, and have a wonderfully relaxing soak. Blessing from me for now. Sorry I’m a bit late in blogging but I’ve had a few very busy days, my family have all been home to stay for a long weekend. We’ve all had a great time. The weather was lovely so we were able to be outside in the garden in the sunshine. Lots of cooking for me of course to feed all eight of us, but no clearing up. My family are all good at helping and they did. I have had great fun with my grandchildren playing in the garden, and all the grown ups love playing board games into the early hours ( and we did). So it's been a wonderfully fun weekend.
They have all gone now and the house is very quiet. (Lovely.) Peace at last. Now I can get back to writing my blog. I don’t know if you ever have days when your mouth isn’t connected to your brain? (I often have them). Well, I had one again the other day. I had two patients booked in last week for their treatments. A mother and daughter. They are both lovely and I always look forward to seeing them. When I opened the door to them the first thing I did as they came into my home was give each of them a hug and mum then said. I’ll Just go to the loo before my treatment. Now I was about to say to them both, but I turned to direct my words to the daughter ‘ You can go out into the garden and sit in sunshine (it was a beautiful day) or you can go into the conservatory. Or you can go into the lounge while I give mum her treatment.’ That’s what I wanted to say, that’s what I meant to say. But that’s not what came out of my mouth. I said with conviction, and I promise the whole sentence came out of my mouth without a glimmer of a smile. “You can go and sit on the toilet and wait while I give mum her treatment!” And then my hand went straight to my mouth because I realised what I’d just said. Daughter looked at me and said. “Have I really got to go and sit on the toilet for an hour?” And that’s when all three of us burst into fits of uncontrollable giggles. And we all needed the Loo. Just another one of my Oops days. |
