May. 14, 2007 - Needed an Adjustment

Posted in For Your Health

          I wrote last night about my not so great Mother's Day.  I was in serious need of an adjustment. . . .an attitude AND chiropractic.  LOL!!!!  I am so amazed at this wonderful body that God gave us.  Even more so, I am amazed at what can happen when I don't take care of it. 

          I slept for almost 8 hours last night.  My alarm didn't go off this morning.  My dh said when he came to bed last night that Josiah and I were both sleeping.  (That reminds me.  I have read that co-sleeping allows the baby's breathing to regulate with the mommas.  I suppose that Josiah and I proved that right because Underdog said we were both on the same rhythm with our snoring, I mean, breathing last night.)  I had a hard time waking up this morning.  It was very obvious that my body was still working to digest the bad food yesterday. 

          Poor little Josiah is still struggling with a hernia and I guess what is called ileocecal valve syndrome where the valve between the small and larger intestine doesn't completely close.  He spits up mucus, struggles with mild reflux, and spits up a good portion of his milk after he burps.  He's still growing though so we aren't too worried about it right now.   My pediatrician has no problem with me taking him to the chiropractor to fix all this.  I love my ped.  She's awesome.  Josiah currently doesn't have insurance (long story) so having the chiropractor who will adjust him for free until he's one year old is such a blessing and an answer to prayer.  So I decided to take him back this morning and got permission to have myself adjusted. 

          I was achy by the time I got to her this morning.  I told her that I am depressed again and that I ate bad food this weekend.  I asked her about Candida and if she had anything to battle Candida.  She gave me some AWESOME stuff.  She adjusted me and then had me turn over.  She pressed really hard on the small intestines.  Boy, did that hurt.  I asked her what she was doing.  She told me she was making it so my intestines will move things through quicker.  Almost 12 hours later it worked.  I do feel much better.  I took some of the Candida stuff she gave me and that seems be clearing the brain fog out as well.  I am hoping that Josiah will get a little of it through my milk.  I am going to get a bottle of this for my children next month and see if i can kill off some of the candida in their bodies. 

                     I had such a bad attitude last night.  Even a good night's sleep didn't help.  But getting that physical adjustment made all the difference in the world.  I am hoping tomorrow will be an even better day.
