I think it was God's will for me to get sick after my friend, Irene, handed me a bag of hot cheetos and I ate the WHOLE thing.  I used to like them a lot. I used to think they were totally delicious. They were not ONLY good and hot going down, they were hot in my stomach. I had no idea that I was hurting my body by eating those things. How could something that tasted so good, be so BAD for me? This time around the cheetos were really hot, not only going down and in my stomach, they were hot all over underneath the skin and all over inside my body and I had no way of knowing how to stop this unusual pain. No matter how much water I drank, the pain would not subside.

The only way I can describe the pain is that I was burning up each and every time I ate or drank anything. Even water caused me to feel pain after that one bag of hot cheetos. The pain was unbearable! The only thing that would help the pain subside was to brush myself with my hands.  Who would ever know that the bag of hot cheetos I ate that day would change my life? I went from doctor to doctor for two whole years and each doctor gave me his/her version of a hit and miss diagnosis from saying that my health problem was related to my hormones to saying that it was all in my head.

The one that really made me upset was the one that told me it was all in my head. He told me I was imagining the pain because, as far as he was aware, there was nothing under the skin that could possibly hurt like I was describing, "a burning sensation under the skin."  How disappointing that an educated person in the field of medicine could say something like that.  I wanted to get better so I continued to go to different doctors.  Another one told me that it was a nervous system disorder and yet another that I was suffering from an emotional trauma of some kind which in turn manifested itself as pain in my body. Wow, that one, I really thought was crazy.  To think that I was paying a good penny to be told these things! I could not believe it! 

I assure you, they were ALL wrong. I decided that I did not want to die and so I took matters into my own hands. After two years of suffering, I knew the doctors did not have the answers I was looking for nor the results I needed. All I wanted was to live without pain and I did not want to take medication since I knew what had caused it.  I did not want to get worse by adding to the problem. I literally started to feel the life draining from my body. I had to do something and I had to do it fast!

My will to live was what drove me to find the answers to questions I had concerning my health.  As I dug for answers, I felt confident that I was unto something. As I read about the lymphatic system and how it is underneath our skin and that is has many vessels that carry lymph (toxic waste matter) out of our body, I became convinced that my lymphatic system was compromised. It was the only thing that made any sense.  I had to keep digging, that was all I had to hold on to. I began to study the work of the late Dr. Samual C. West. His book, Golden Seven Plus One , had all the answers. I knew that my life depended on it!  I knew something was terribly wrong with me, because my hair had lost its luster.  I had aged ten years in two years.  The worst part is that my skin was a pale gray in color. I was starting to look sickly with dis-ease. I had caused myself to get sick by eating those hot cheetos two years before and this made me realize that people, especially pre-teens and teens, are eating this garbage in the schools and no one is saying anything about it! 

I know now that if I had not gotten sick, I would not have learned that the body has the capacity to heal itself given the right tools to do so. I began to study the benefits of moving the lymph. Lymph is described as "a clear yellowish fluid, containing white blood cells in a liquid resembling blood plasma that is derived from the tissues of the body and conveyed to the bloodstream by the lymphatic vessels." In other words, it's waste matter which is carried out of the body by the lymphatic system and is dumped into the blood stream at the base of the of the neck. Since lymph only moves in one direction (up), bouncing exercises move the lymph and by implementing breathing techniques, one can only expect for the waste to dislodge and move along it's way to get eliminated by the body.  

I started on a detox or cleansing program which I followed for approximately two months. You will not believe what was coming out in the urine two years later. Take a guess. If you said the red stuff from the hot cheetos, that's correct!  Imagine that....TWO years later!   Just like me, I can only imagine how many persons have the red stuff from the hot cheetos stuck in their lymphatic system and heaven knows where else in their body. The only thing to do, which I recommend, is to start a cleansing program to eliminate anything that has clogged up your lymphatic system. Of course, you need to stop eating the hot cheetos. You are "defiling" your body, like Dr. West put it. You need to eat right and drink plenty of pure clean water. Believe it, you will get better and you will see, it's all about the garbage we put in our mouths that makes us sick.  Please, don't eat those hot cheetos!  They are only going to make you "dead" sick.

Disclaimer:   When this incident occurred, my place of work was found to have mold. It could be that the mold problem already in my body was made worse by eating the hot cheetos.   No one knows in what condition their body is in at the time one eats the hot cheetos.  If you have fallen victim of mold, at your place of work, be careful not to eat hot cheetos or you too might find yourself in a lot of pain.
