ongoing success...

Between treatments is difficult to know if I've cleared if it's not something I had trouble with to begin with. Minerals is an example. I was not aware of any negative reactions to any metals/minerals. However, there is always the possibility one is not absorbing well and creating an absorption problem.

As I get closer to the grain treatment it is more important to me that I clear each treatment on schedule. Not that I have any big plans, I just want to be past that and to know if this is or is not going to be successful to eliminate the gluten intolerance. It's only been three (3) years since my diagnosis (Spring of 2007), but it seems like a lifetime. Since that time I've felt better than in my life in many ways. For example: In the past three years since I've had no gluten, I've not had one (1) canker sore which I'd had all the time all my life.


I also want to check in and discuss sleep just a little. I'm still sleeping VERY well. Amazing to me. REALLY...this is just amazing after so many years of tossing, turning, getting up and walking around (eating), reading, praying. I am still have very minor problems with Restless Leg Syndrome. Not "up all night" kinds of problems, but enough that sometimes I need to exercise, stretch or use the massager which usually bring relief. Naturally, I am hoping this disappears all together once I've finished the treatments.

Whooppee!!!

Last night was the 5th night I did not experience restless legs which I have suffered from ALL MY LIFE. As I've gotten older and this gluten problem became apparent I was barely sleeping at all. I could take all the meds I had and I would NOT sleep.

After 4 NAET treatments I have just experienced my 5th night without problems. Actually, because I didn't anticipate this, it sort of crept up on me. This is HUGE. HUGE!

I finished the 25 hour avoidance period for calcium, etc. Then went to dinner with Barb and Rosie (my paid staff) to belatedly celebrate Rosie's birthday.

Again, I slept well last night, No getting up and down all night long. I went to bed, read a few minutes, became too sleepy to continue, turned out the light and was asleep in a short time.

I wish I could adequately express what a miracle this is for me. For YEARS I have dreaded bed time. I'd be dead tired and still be up and down and awake and frustrated nearly all night----every night. Drugs might help me sleep, but I'm so groggy the next day I can't function well.

This is a bonus I didn't really expect. I was figuring if I could get relief from the gluten issue I'd be happy...well delirious.
