Long post and potentially boring....

Do you ever feel like your scrapbooking room got the better of you? I went in there all gung-ho about getting some layouts done and I left feeling defeated! And that feeling seems to be hanging out with me for the night! So let's talk about something else.... last Friday I went to see a Naturopath- uses natural supplements to "heal". I have been "sick" for a long time, years in fact, but the worst has been the last year. What do I mean by "sick": headaches, stomach pains which lead to throwing up, lethargic, moody (not your average moody), the list goes on but I might depress you- that or you'll be worried about me. I have been for every test I can think of, I have had more scans and ultrasounds in the last year than I knew I had organs (only slightly exaggerated). I have tried pill after pill and new diet upon new diet! It's been exhausting so I tried something different. I went to see Dr. Mageau praying she'd have some sort of answer. I had to fill out a questionnaire (what felt like 1 million questions) and that was scored telling them I had certain deficiencies in certain areas. I also did other actual tests, all the responses pointed to problems with my thyroid and with my liver. She put me on 5 supplements, protein shakes and the eating for your blood type diet. I have a 6th supplement to go on but have yet to go get it- they are not cheap and they are not covered by my health care plan! How do I feel? Better- not everything I hoped it would be though but it's only been a week! I had started the Eating for your blood type at the beginning of December before I had met with her. Lots of changes but I was amazed at the differences in how I felt and acted. The gist of the book is that certain blood types can break down and digest certain things better than others. It gives lists of foods that are beneficial, neutral and foods to avoid. On day one I cut out bananas, which I ate everyday but the book says to avoid and for the first time in months I did not get sick! I was sold! I have been following it since and I sure notice a difference if I stray! So if you're feeling overall like you've been hit by a truck, have problems losing weight or have digestion problems I highly recommend this book.

I picked it up at Chapters but I have seen it in grocery stores. There is also lots on the web. If you don't know your blood type I'm sure your doctor would have it in your file. Or if you have any questions let me know- maybe I can help.
