Today the doctor responsible for finally discovering and diagnosing my condition called to check in with me. I haven't spoken with her since I was diagnosed, as I was suppose to transition over to seeing the neurosurgeon. Since I skipped going to the neurosurgeon in lieu of self-treatment that never happened. I caught her up to date on all that I have been doing over the last 2 months and she was really glad about my being proactive. However, when I asked her point blank if she thought I could get rid of this cyst through diet alone she considered the question for a second and replied that she didn't feel I could. I know I shouldn't have been upset or even shocked about this because that is essentially what I have heard all the way around. She continued to explain she felt that my alkalizing diet is reducing all of the inflammation around where the cyst is and so in return my symptoms are lessening. What gives me hope is along the lines of what I have already mentioned in previous blogs. I had not been following my diet strictly and still the symptoms were reduced. Basically, I still stand where I did before; I am OK with just making myself asymptomatic, but still beleive I can cure myself. What can I say? I'm an Optimist!
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophies. -Friedrich Nietzsche
