I went to Israel in 2006 and traveled and spoke extensively. After I came back to Maui I had a biking accident and dislocated my scapula and broke my collar bone. This was so very painful and I don't use drugs for pain I use golden ale (more enjoyable than pain killers). Anyway, my recovery process was long and difficult. I had a hard time moving and thought that I was depressed from drinking for pain, gaining weight and having my sacrum give out from gaining 40 pounds. But, I was wrong.

Around the end of 2007 I had completely healed the shoulder, got some Rolfing and fixed the sacrum, got active and lost the weight, and I was still depressed. Then I felt ashamed of being depressed since I was one of the most fortunate people I have ever met. My life is spectacular and I couldn't move, I was flat on my back and doing some pretty deep psychiatric help with shamans, family and friends. Even though this was helpful and healing in many ways it did not deal with the inability to move. Then I got a mysterious pain in my stomach.

After a year of diagnostic testing and finding a mass below my stomach that was very frightening!

As it turns out I actually had a bacteria that I contracted in Israel called H-pilori!

I was shocked to find out that 1 in 3 people have this in the undeveloped world and 1 in 4 people have it in the developed world. It is easy to kill with a combination of strong antibiotics but, it is highly contagious.

In the early stages this bug mimics severe depression

In it's later stages it causes Gastritous (inflamation of stomach and deuodynm) and heart burn. Later it ulcerates the stomach and has been found to be THE cause of stomach ulcers.

There's an interesting antidote about the scientist that discovered that H-pilori is the cause of stomach ulcers. the scientific community would not listen to his claims about this, so he infected himself and conducted a recorded experiment with HIMSELF. That is dedication, to say the least. sorry I can't remember his name at this moment.

Anyway, I was so happy to find out I didn't have cancer, didn't have a hiatel hernia, didn't have depression and that the gas and heartburn were simple to fix.

When I spoke to my friends in Israel they had already gone through the same tests that I had, then they got all their friends and family tested and everyone of them had it. I was thinking it may be living in the Sea of Gallilee where they all live and swim. this sounds reasonable bc the sea is simultaneously their sewage dump and their water source! WTF! I stopped swimming in it as soon as I found out it was a sewage dump....probably too late.

I feel it is important to get this word out bc there are so very many people on anti-depressants for depression and so many people that have heart burn, stomach ulcers and eventually cancer in the stomach or colon, thinking that they got cancer because of many reasons that are not it. Let your friends and family know about this and get the simple blood test that is necessary to identify this prevelent bug. Its so prevelent I was wondering why we have not been told more about this by all these health agencies???

Today I have been surfing on a swell of well-being because, as a result of having almost every test under the sun to find out what was wrong with me, I got to find out that I am in excellent health, with happy organs.

This process was all about The Will to Live and the faith that I harbor about my birthright. Now that I'm on the other side of this ordeal, I wish to spread the good news about my recovery and spread the news about Heliocobactor-pilori. If you think you are depressed get a blood test for this bacteria before you go the psych route. aloha

    Wow andora!  Like you say, why on earth don't the health experts make us more aware of these things?  It really annoys me and does make me wonder if once again, it isn't all down to money.  Look how much money the pharmecutical companies make with their 'cure for this' and 'cure for that'.

    I saw the programme some years ago about the young Australian that put the bacteria into himself until those old baffoons would listen to him (I can't remember his name either).  I mean people used to die from ulcers, my dad nearly died when 2 burst at the same time!  Before the discovery of the bacteria unfortunately.  Luckily for me, as I suffer with heartburn, I have been tested for this bacteria but I bet there are millions who haven't.

    A very good informative post.  That injury of yours sounded awful, so painful.

    nice to hear from you pusscat

    2007 to 2009 was a dying period for me

    everything I thought that I knew was displaced with an acute awareness of my personal Will and how a very vital part of me wanted to simply die

    this explains why I was screaming at the top of my lungs at "the living dead"; quite literally, I had been holding space with a dead part of myself that was firm in its position that there was no use in trying. As this disease progressed, it was like this apathetic part was gaining weight (literally and figuratively). When they found a mass below my stomach, I really thought my body wanted to kill me, so I made peace with my body by asking forgiveness for having harbored a death wish, a literal death wish that was in a state of denial. I always thought suicide was ridiculous - it turns out that my strong feelings against this were so very strong bc I was in denial of my own suicidal tendencies for a lifetime.

    Now, funny enough, as soon as I found out that my malady was a simple bacteria and that all of my organs were in perfect condition I came out of my grave and am recovering from a simulated death that opens the doors to my future of perfect health.

    I've decided to record my process with a series of movies that show the before and after

    andora as a zombie, straight out of the grave -- and the andora that emerges from the wonders of juicing grasses. Now, I have everything set up, the forest camp where I will be living off of juiced grasses is mercifully remote and beyond beautiful. Its a good place to be reborn.

    I appreciate your comment and glad you are very aware of what's going on in the health department.

    as far as the money train goes in regard to big pharma, I agree!

    for years I saw that the biggest selling health aids on tv adds were antacids...of course I thought that the culprit was the American diet, and it is to an extent, but now that I know about pi-Lori, I want to get the word out

    your comments will keep this issue alive

    again, mahalo

    It really is wonderful to see the real you.  I would often see your comments on people's posts with just the right words just when they were needed and I knew you were a woman with a good heart.  It's such a shame you had to go through so much suffering before but, then again, I guess these things we go through are what makes us, us :-)

    Recording the process is a marvellous idea!  I'm really pleased that you were able to come out the other side of this stronger than ever :-)

    it is good to be witnessed by you pusscat

    of course I crave intimacy, and it isn't something one can just pull out of their arse in an instant, even though I attempted to do that and was choking on my own projections

    my integration process has an open heart to the reflections of denial, I own everything that affects me,,, to the point of knowing that I am clawing my way out of hell after lifetimes of shitola. disappointment was deep in my bones and crying was the best medicine, the only medicine. At that time my daughter was 17 and all of her friends wondered how i effortlessly maintained a six-pack (rippled muscular abs).I always got a kick out of telling them that I cryed all the friggin time.

    today, these days, years later...it is the rage that is rising for integration and I am in a fever with it all, so you're words of love were definitely medicine pussykitty :D

    aloha

Comment on "H-piLori is a bacteria that creates symptoms of depression"


(Separate tags using commas, for example: New York, dating, vegetarian)

There are many people suffering from depression disorders who fail to recognize the symptoms and sometimes it takes being informed by a trusted friend or family member that you are exhibiting signs....
All of us experience some sort of anxiety from time to time. It is our natural response to a situation that we find stressful....
Maybe a marriage counselor is in order?...
If anything, read to get the reveal of my Best Friends name XD...
Just some writing....
