Dear Reader,

Hope...it's a wonderful word to speak and even more wonderful to feel. Up until about 2 years ago, at 28 years of agge, I had never really experienced a deep sense of hope or even felt there was a purpose for my life. I was filled with constant pain: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Having come from a family filled with dysfuntion, including addiction, guilt, shame, and control, I grew up living a life based upon trying to create a utopia that could never exist. Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, sex, depression, anxiety, they all became a regular part of my life. It was the only way to cope with how I felt inside.

Six years ago, my father committed suicide. I was 24 years old at the time. I had already quit drinking, smoking, and taking any drugs but found that my life was filled with other types of addiction: sex, spending money, going to doctors, and more. On top of that, I had been diagnosed with "Fibromyalgia", bi-polar disorder, TMJ, irritable bowel syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, and more. I had spent thousands of dollars on doctors who had no answers for me. I had no hope. None. Zero. I was completely empty hoping that someone or something would come along and fill me with an ounce of hope. But, the only hope I seemed to get was a temporary one where I would see a new doctor who would tell me they could help and then after weeks of treatments, nothing changed, and I became even more depressed.

I had been seeking a "cure" from my pains since my father died. I felt some medicine would fix me or maybe some church healer might lay hands on me and take it all away. I had been in therapy for years with only a mind-body connection success but with little to no change in my "pains". I tried most types of alternative treatments including acupuncture, chiropractic, several types of massage, myofascial pain treatment, herbal, and more.

About four years ago, my path to healing began when I grew weary of seeing doctor after doctor and no relief came. I was recommended to read a book called The Mind Body Prescription by John Sarno. Reading this book was a milestone change in my life as it was the first instance of my energy opening up to seeking to heal within rather than to ask an external source to fix me. Soon after, I came across homeopathy. After sampling homeopathy on my own, and seeing three different homeopaths, I felt like I hadn't gone very far in my healing. I had small moments of success where my pain levels dropped and my hope temporarily increased when taking a remedy but there never seemed to be any permanent forward progress.

That was until I met a gifted woman from California. I'm not sure why I had not given up on homeopathy like the rest of the alternative therapies that I had tried before this. Especially since I had not had much long term success from any of the practictioners that I had seen. But something, some energy, or spirit within me kept me seeking something deeper within homeopathy and I was introduced one day through e-mail to a woman who spoke about miasms and after listening, I could feel my spirit jumping in my body. I felt inside that this was what I needed. So I began treatment.

While my understanding of miasms is limited, and I do not wish to try to explain that within this posting, as that was not my intention, what I do want to say is that it's now just under two years since my treatment began with this woman and life has started to radically change for me.

I used to look for success in such large ways that my eyes inheirantly had lost touch with seeing the small steps to success and healing. I always wanted the quick miracle. I asked God consistenly to take away all this pain and suffering within me. And more times than I can count, I yelled at God for putting me through this.

I COULD sit here and talk about each thing that has really begun to change for me, but that would take awhile as I would need to give you a deeper history of the levels of pain and broadness of symptoms I've had within my life. What I am going to say is this. I'm finally on the path to healing. This path is not easy. The path has been filled with thorns and brambles but as I hack away at them with the miasm treatment and homeopathic remedies, I reach small clearings which allow me to look back and truly see a bigger picture.

While I used to constantly pray for a cure, I now ask to be open to all aspects of healing. When I struggle through a difficult aggravation, I ask to be open to the lesson that needs to be learned to make it through. This path isn't a bowl of cherries, it takes a lot of work and dedication. But what this path does have, is a chance for a miracle to happen over time.

I'll leave you with this. I hope this departing thought will provide you with inspiration and hope that you might seek a homeopath who can treat a miasm. Six years ago, I had a kitchen counter full of medications, I was suicidal, I couldn't hold onto a job or a relationship for very long, I was constantly negative and critical, and I lived a life where the thought of dying was more hopeful than the thought of living. Today, I have hope. I have a purpose. I am healing. I am cleansing. I am heading in uncharted waters, and in many ways, I feel like I am rebirthing into a new life. I have not been on a medication for several years. I have been in a relationship for 2 and 1/2 years and believe it will last a lifetime. I look at my pains that I still have as gifts to learn more about myself. And most importantly, little by little, I am beginning to connect spiritually to something deeper and greater than anything I have ever experienced before in my life and know that in time, my homeopathic treatment of the miasms I suffer from, will guide me to a place of centeredness and peace.

I pray for all those who have chronic pain and suffering. There is hope. I can attest to it. I can't tell you what your journey will look like nor can I tell you that homeopathic treatment of miasms is the path your energy will guide you on to that place of healing. Everyone's journey is different. What I can tell you is that this is my journey, this is my path, and the treatement of miasms, and this special woman from California, are all part of that path to my healing.

Be open to change, to acceptance, and to the energy within you, and the answers you seek will come.

With Peace and Love,
A.D.

There are so many methods for suggesting remedy to a patient. Miasm is one method among so many other methods.
