MY name is will leeman for the past 12 years i have been suffering ever increasing pain and disability from a un-diagnosed condition/s.
3 countries including drs,specialists and er drs i have seen about a dozen,had every scan and test you can imagine,been milked dry financialy with travel costs prescriptions,ranging from anti inflammatories to percocet and every other pain killer to pain patches,nerve pills,sleep pills sleep apnea c-pap machine useage,self medicating with alcohol.

I have attempted and constantly thought of suicide as a sane option,i went from a workaholic independent well travelled man full of pride and determination to a 1000th of a percent of a shell of the man i used to be.

When this first started happening i was a mans man didnt complain took it on the chin too much pride,untill i realized i had gone from having my own buissness to a full and part time job to a part time job to not being able to do a sink full of dishes or make a bacon and egg sandwitch and eat it before it got cold.......i told them my hands are cramping,locking and it continues through out my upper body SCAN MY HANDS...no they scanned every kinda scan everywhere else in cluding my brain,i was told everything from are you done faking it yet?ready to get a job?....to 4 mis-diagnoses and treatments such as botox and cordozone shots(not guided in with xray as is protocol)

Throughout this my inlaws my family friends etc are thinking im just crazy or lazy.....now im 35 been living on 400 dollars month for the better part of 5 years the one thing i havent lost is my fiancee and my family although not blessed with kids yet because i refused to have them and not be able to provide for them and their futures..

APRIL 23RD i went to a natural pathic dr,quackery they say right?
well armed with 1 diagnoses from a rumatoid specialist that actually listen to my story me and scanned my hands result being rumatoid arthritis,this natural dr God bless her!
looked at my case file that my family dr charged me 40 bucks to get,looked at everything and said you have rumatoid arthritis,a acute full body inflamational diasease(whitch i cant even spell,read or remember lol) as well as chronic long term de-hydration as well as fluid built up in one of my organs and cell/tissue severe damage throughout my body of whitch any dr or qualified nurse wouldve been able to see as obviously as i see you now.
This woman spent almost 3 hours!talking and examining me remember like you used to get when you saw the dr when you were young?

Anyway still a tender subject for me sorry for babbling,the treatment a 3 week bear diet as i fondly call it,nuts,berrys seeds,fish potatoes,fruits and vedge .1 litre of water morning,afternoon and night not all at once but throughout the day and more snacking than 3 main meals,on top of that a natural supplement 3 times a day called MSM and GLUCOSAMINE....... 4 weeks roughly later i am pain free lost a lot of weight have a clear mind......and a broken heart that my government would allow anyone to suffer like i have,im not 100% yet but pretty dam close,in january when i was at my lowest and just about to give up i discovered the occupy/anonymous/julian assange movements it saved my life and gave me the tools i needed to start fighting back educating myself while giving me a reason to carry on to help others,i have learned a great many things about every facet of our lives from spiritual to politics to our universe every single one of them infused with lies and deceit on the part of the powers that be.

Now i consider myself a FREE man under God,and i prepare myself on every level to SURVIVE to right the wrongs nad ensure that good people go on...survive and never again have to suffer these needless and pointless lies again,first i have to make sure i can get in a position to help those that need it lol

My name is will leeman this is my story...well a chapter lol i hope it helps someone.

i had forgotten a 4 week regiment of homepathic sulpher and another mineral once a week to turn back the years on all the toxicicity my body had been put through.

Hey Preacher,
great post here, funny you put in all my message, but it made me smile so your helping me out already!
cheers and thanks again for helping others.

Preacher,
did they say you had Reactive Arthritis as well? I have it, up till a few years ago it was obscure, now I have met 3 others with it as well. Your very honest and Yes I have thought about the final solution for myself as well, so the Vit B12 and D3 normally stop those thoughts.

The Maxi-Boz helps a lot with the arthritis and such, without it, no work, no walking, no moving!

Please email / PM me the NaturePath Docs phone number, I would like to go and see them as well.
Cheers.
WildE..

Thanks for sharing. I think I had better go see one too. Sick of the drugs and the pain and nothing showing up on tests.

wilderness its dr.crystal charest in miramichi new brunswick,there are only 1000 praticing her trade in canada needs to be more,her number is 1 506 773 3799 she has a 2 month waiting list,i told her by the time im done she better think about expanding lol
no reactive as far as i remember
old shcool the best investment youwill EVER make

Thank you for all being so honest and sharing part of your stories......I have also lost confidence in biomedicine and the "sausage machine" mentality that doctors have when they are dealing with peoples' health issues.....which is why I am investing 6 years of my life to study to become a qualified Naturopath. My mum is dealing with pretty much the same issues listed above and due to medication overload, careless medico's and early misdiagnosis she now has to deal with additional medical problems and major mobility issues. Mum has had these health issues for over 40 years and has been on various "toxic" pharmaceutical medications during that time which has further disrupted the natural processes within her body.

If you've never been to a naturopath before, then I urge you to do so. Why? because they are trained to treat you "holistically"...meaning they treat the whole person, not just the bits that they feel like looking at. If your body, mind and spirit are in balance then you will be well, and this is the focus of naturopathic treatments. Preacher gave an excellent diet example which is more suited to the human body than anything (read everything) processed....the main thing here is to drink litres of clean water. I'm still learning....12 months studying completed and 5 years to go.

Thank you preacher and susannah!

I have had inflammations since my early 30's. Spent that decade going to physio and taking ibuprophen for each of the afflicted sites as they came up. My 40's were interesting in that I added IBS to the problems.

In my early 50's my daughter went to see a rheumatologist for some back problems and after listening to her medical history - he said - your mom should come and see me.

I went. I have soft tissue rheumatism, with means chronic inflammations, fibromyalgia, and the congenitally fused vertebrae in my neck are starting to deteriorate, which is causing inflammation as well and that is on top of the arthritis. Chronic sleep problems go with all those issues.

Last December I talked to hubby about becoming vegetarian. It is something that we toyed with off and on, but never did. In January we decided to take the plunge. We added vegetarian meals to our menu and continued to have meat from the freezers until it was gone. By March we were fully vegetarian and trying for vegan. Then we were given some chickens so we are going to eat eggs, but I can live with that.

By the beginning of May I was noticing more energy, more attention, more productivity. LESS daily aches and pains, as well as no IBS problems. I've only craved fish - so tuna or salmon occasionally. When I have gone out and ended up eating bad food - burger and fries - the burger doesn't taste at all and the fries are gross. And my intestines let me know they aren't happy. When I have some of the bigger pains and inflammations, they aren't as overwhelming because I haven't exhausted myself from being in pain all day every day.

We also watched this movie and were impressed with the information.

Because of preacher's post I have just called the only Naturopath in our area and left a message saying that I would like an appointment. If I can get off of the anti-inflammatories and other meds that I take daily - I would be thrilled. Maybe my 60's (only 2 years away) can be better than my 40's and 50's. Thank you.

Edited to add - My appointment is June 5th. THANK YOU
