Peter here,
I've been under the spell of chronic illness for the good part of a year now. I've been diagnosed as having Chronic EBV, Herpes I-II and the like. After reading your BB it would suggest that the aforesaid are the least of my worries. I've had all the treatments, endoscopy, gastroscopy etc. etc.... The only thing they come up with is
the above. Your BB would suggest I need to be looking in other areas and am keen to do a little research into my predicament.
I've lead an active life for the past 20 years and have come across the most debilitating illness one could imagine. It got to the point where my doctor suggested it was psychological, which in turn helped me believe
they were bereft of the answer. I know this to be fact now!
My symptoms include, constant sinus (nasal congestion, threatening sore throat. (Maia. Scolls BBS. April 20, 1998), black eyes, large nodes, acute lower abdominal pain, general and muscular fatigue, inability to exercise, insomnia and a host of others.
I have started to reject the bio-medical model and looking for the answers elsewhere. I've finished with the pharmaceuticals and am interested in what you have to offer.
I would appreciate some indication on what you think I should do. To some degree I am rather desperate. I'd also like to know if I need more test so as to eliminate all other possibilities
I would also like to know if your book would assist in my dilemma and how I may be able to purchase it. Could you please send an index of the pertinent chapters.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
Peter

Dear Peter,
The quickest, and most effective way, to get you on the right track would be for you to take a look at the link on this 'site about "Health Coaching Service". This explains the information (and its form) that I would need to know to be sure to give you the most efficient advice.
I prefer to do it free on the BB so others can learn from our exchange and be encouraged by your healing experiences. However, if you prefer to do it privately, the HCS explains that too. Since my major aim is public education, and done privately no one else will ever see it, I charge for that service.
My book would be a very efficient place to start since it was written for exactly this kind of scenario. The table of contents is not going to help you since the book works as a unit. If you only read the chapters you think are related to your condition, you will miss the entire thrust of the book. It is about 200 -ages & about 25% of the book is references, resources and protocols for the person to learn about his/her condition in a greater depth if desired.
There IS one reference that was written about you that you will want in your library. I have read it more than 10 times & am still learning from it. Get a copy of Dr Pelletier's classic: "Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer" and you will begin to understand the mechanisms behind your current conditions. MY book would tie this together & help you see what you need to do first & why.
As you get well, I hope you will take the time to share your experiences with the seekers on the BB. Others are more likely to respond to testimonials than to anything I can say. "Helping others move toward wellness IS an aspect of our own."
Namaste` Walt
