The Time my Doctor Nearly Killed Me, And How I Can Help You Heal Naturally

Created on: 2023-02-03

A short bio about me, and how I became a healer.

My first career was in software engineering, and I was doing well enough until 2008. Health-wise, I had some niggles, but nothing worth mentioning here. Then in the autumn, I wanted to take a break and do some travelling. I went to Belize, the only English speaking country in Central America, to spend three months as a volunteer in a jungle project.

Pretty much on arrival I was ill. The usual traveller type illness - gut problems, exhaustion and malaise - maybe I caught something en route? At my base in the jungle, there wasn't much I could do other than try to struggle on. Every couple of weeks I had a weekend off and would travel to the nearest town and see what medication I could get. Long story short, after three rounds of medication, and over two months, I was not much better. I couldn't really attribute any gains to the meds.

By that time I'd found out about a local bush-doctor. Her advice and remedies seemed to help, but in the short time I had left in Belize, it didn't cure. Had I continued, I wonder if it would have worked, but by this time I was getting ready to return home, and I wanted to be fixed before I got back to England, thinking if I had some local bug, a local doctor would be better at dealing with it.

So just before my return journey, I went to the main hospital in Belize, and finally got the full battery of tests done. A couple of hours later I was called in to hear the results.

The doctor, a pleasant man approaching retirement, had a sheet with my results. He went through the items tested for, saying: "This - no, this - no, this - no," etc., then finally: "Paratyphoid B. Now, a mild illness has a count of one or two. You have a count of three hundred and twenty." He then gave me a look that said: "How did you just walk in off the street in this condition? Why did you leave this so long?"

He said the old medicines were quite rough - you were almost better off with the disease - but the new medicines were gentler. He wrote me a prescription for eight pills, one per day. I was not keen - by 2008 I had become skeptical about orthodox medicine, and was looking for alternatives. I was reluctant to take those pills, but thought to myself: "This is the last time. I just need to sort out this one thing, then I'm done with orthodox medicine."

"See here, on the packet insert, the words, 'May cause acute renal failure, possibly fatal.' That means, your kidneys were OK before you took the medicine, then you took it, then . . . your kidneys stop working and you die the same day. And people have died."

The following day I flew back to England. I took the pills and became dramatically worse, not even being able to get a full night's sleep due to illness. It was obviously caused by the pills, but I continued with the course: I did not want the original illness to return. After finishing the course - i.e. after stopping the medication - I improved but remained ill. I was now totally intolerant to alcohol - I had been a light drinker even when in Central America, but now all alcohol had to go. Bit by bit I discovered other foods that I could no longer tolerate. Moreover, I was ill with a host of symptoms, including strong kidney pain.
