- About Me:
- Since September 2003, I have been diagnosed with Sharp's disease, which is an autoimmune disease. My symptoms included an extreme amount of pain in all of my joints, especially my hips, knees, hands, wrists, and fingers. It was not until January 2004 I was able to see a Rheumatologist. He advised to me to refer to my disease as Lupus since most people wouldn't understand. Sharp's disease is a Mixed Connective Tissue Disease consisting of overlapping symptoms of: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, Polymyositis, and Raynaud's phenomenon. I began receiving treatment for Sharp's disease January 2004 and have been on it since. My treatment consists of six different drugs, (Prednisone, Methotrexate, Hydroxychloriquine, Arava, and CellCept) all dangerous to my health, especially if I want a baby someday. Four of six of these drugs are in the FDA pregnancy category X, which means that the drug will definitely harm the unborn child of birth defects or even cause death. Although Prednisone is in the FDA pregnancy category C, which basically means that there is no conclusive evidence or it is unknown that it harms the unborn child, it is still an unknown risk. Every three months, my visit to the Rheumatologist commits me to a change to my treatment according to the results of my blood tests and progress. Per the advice of my Rheumatologist, I have been slowly weaning myself off of Prednisone, as well as Cellcept. I did; however, had a huge setback in October 2006. Due to a surgery I needed for a chronic sinus infection, I had to cease all medications to prepare my body for a safe surgery. After the surgery, I had to resume on Prednisone as well as the other medications and start my treatment all over again. I became extremely frustrated by this, so I began missing doses of my medication. I'd miss a day, then two, then a week, sometimes two weeks and inadvertently ceased all of them indefinitely. I realized that I had hardly any symptoms from my disease, so I continued. At the same time, I had been reading Kevin's 1st book. Then, I had finally connected with a Natural Healthcare Physician. She prescribed me two herbs. I had also seen an Acrupuncturist, and he too sold me homeopathy treatment and a detox kit. None of these worked. I continued to flare up from my disease. It got so bad that I couldn't walk, stay up, or do the things I normally do for my son and myself. I decided that this was not worth it to my son; I finally went into urgent care and resumed Prednisone until I'd visit my Rheumatologist again. I have to admit, when I was on my medications, my joint pain had completely gone away. I had more energy, I was able to do chores, cook for my son, or just stay up and watch a movie with him. All of this stopped for a month when I was on natural remedies and off my meds. I became depressed; I'd cry everyday; my son was watching all of this. My 6 yr old son started to cry with me. Then, I stopped and realized that this whole transition to natural remedies was not for me and my son right now. Maybe it works for others, but not me, at least not now because my son NEEDS ME NOW. My medical condition is too chronic. I rather suffer for it later in my old, lonely age then have it affect my son's young, vibrant age right now. So after three days on Prednisone, I was almost back to my old active and healthy self. Then, the day after my birthday October 26th, I was back on all of my medications. Since then, I've been great. I was able to enjoy Halloween, Christmas, and New Years in Las Vegas! I haven't cried since. And I'd like to keep it that way. So I'm going to fully trust my Rheumatologist and do whatever he wants me to do when it comes to my health. Luckily, he supports me taking herbs, and he has assured me that none of them will interfere with my treatment. Although I still would like to seek natural healthcare, I'm going to put it on hold for now. I still plan to follow the strict Blood type diet that my Natural Healthcare Physcian put me on, and I will continue to avoid fast food and shop for organic foods. I even switched to toothpaste without fluoride and natural cleaning products as well as shampoo and conditioner. I also plan to talk to my denist about possibly resplacing all of the metals in my mouth. From here on out, I will play it day by day and keep my strong faith in God that he will guide me the right direction in what is best for me and my son.

I have something worth looking into for lupus for you to check out. I really would appreciate it if you would check it out for yourself. It is nick named the Beck Zapper which is used in conjunction with colloidal silver solution.
In my video section, which has over 150 videos, look under both Dr. Robert Beck DD.s.c, The Beck Zapper, and Colloidal silver. It will blow your mind with what it can do.
It is said that this is effective in overcoming 650 diseases including lupus, cancer, HIV, AIDS, and so on.
If your on my friends list, you can view, copy or download any of the videos and links I have in there.
In addition, I have started group discussions on both of these processes. There are at least 2 other members now using the Beck Zapper.
By the way, I also use this unit and process. Take a look, definitely worth taking into at the very least.
Have a good day.
