The Perfect Storm

Daryl was sleeping 20 hours a day back then, in the fall of 2008.  I think I may have slept the other 4.  I was moving, but not doing, seeing or hearing.  I was like the energizer bunny - I couldn't rest.

But ever so slowly, he started improving.  With mega dosing of vitamins & minerals, heavy detoxification, diet modification, his energy started coming back.  With the many tests that he underwent and more that our Dr. Sandy requested, we found out Daryl's thyroid had crashed, he was intolerant to dairy and sugar, had a rampant candida infection, and had developed allergies - he's allergic to penicillin!  Remember he was on 5,000 mg per day in August 2008? Group this with something growing in our house, tremendous stress at work and his mysterious health decline - it was a perfect storm developing right in front of our eyes.

We began working with Dr. Sandy, adjusting Daryl's diet & supplementation, monitoring his thyroid, blood sugar levels, heavy metals, etc.  He's not the normal case (I've always known that!), so it's taken lots of trial and error to see what works for him - and we're still making adjustments.  I'll be sharing what we've been doing so far that has made positive impacts:  diet, supplements, therapies, environmental and lifestyle changes and stress management.  Remember I said we are complex beings - mind, body AND spirit.  It's been a process, but we continue the climb to restored health.  God created a miracle when he created the human body.  It's capable of healing itself with lots of tender loving care - and God's will.

Just know Daryl's doing what he loves:  working almost full time for over a year and a half - and he golfs almost full time, too!  Anytime he can get out on the course, he's there.  His game is good, too - never good enough of course, but he's hitting the ball great.
