Cracked Tongue

So I have been having trouble with my tongue....it would come and go. I was blaming it on spicy foods I was eating and the sonic ice I love to crunch on. Thought I was keeping it irritated. Finally it got so bad I knew I had to figure out something. So I asked 2 of my Facebook friends who I knew where into holistic healing. I have learned to seek there first. Both told me right off...you need to be taking a vitamin b complex. Well....I started on it right away and BAM in just 2 days it is lots better!! I just think its amazing that our bodies will tell us when something is wrong if we will just pay attention and listen. Doctors just want to cover up the symptoms with drugs...which does not fix the problem but masks the symptoms until it develops into some serious disease! Prevention is the answer......but that does not makes lots of money so we are taught that doctors and drugs are the answer. God created our bodies to work and heal themselves....why would we expect anything else than perfection from Him! Its the things we do to them as humans that destroy and create disease. I am so trying to tune into and listen to my body as it tells me what it needs and when it needs it.

The Beginning

After much contemplation I have decided to test the waters of blogging. Partly to encouragement from others and partly so I can share and remember the things I am learning on my quest for health. It all started about 4 years ago when I started having some issues with my health. My stomach was swelling and I was having a lot of pain. I have never been much of a doctor person so I denied anything was really wrong until we got back from vacation and I was in a lot of pain. My stomach would swell out each day to the point that I looked and walked like I was 7 months pregnant. My family insisted I see a doctor....so off I went. Well the doctor I went to immediately told me it was my gall bladder and set me up with a surgeon. Now I did not think it was my gall bladder....just from others that I knew that had gall bladder problems but I went along with it. I arrived at the appointment to meet with the surgeon fully believing he would be taking my gall bladder out the next week. Well he looked at my xrays and talked with me and said Debbie there is nothing wrong with your gall bladder. I will take it out if you want me too but I do not think that is what is causing your pain. Well I am a firm believer in keeping all my parts. I feel like if The Good Lord gave us parts then we need them and do not need to have them removed.But I was having pain.....so next stop gynecologist.... ovarian cancer causes swelling I was told.....everything checked out there. So now what? Well my sister told me about a chiropractor that her husband was going to and he had helped others. Well I was totally not into chiropractors....being around lots of people in the medical field who felt they were a joke I had only been to one once in my life and she scared me to death popping my neck....but I was assured he didn't do that and decided to check him out. Well there began my new journey. After several adjustments and a few supplements I felt tons better. So I begin doing lots of reading and researching.....I was doing all sorts of things wrong to my body....mostly what I was putting in it. So I quit drinking sodas which to those who know me know what a change that was....I could easily drink 12 to 15 a day. One friend use to say just get her an IV filled with diet sundrop! Anyway I have made some big changes and look at things completely different than I use to.....so I hope to share my info with others and to help me stay on track....because in this world we live in it is not easy!
