eatyourbroccoli...how is your health today??

[kellibelli]

Just thinking about you and wondering how your health is today and wondering if you are alright???

just a thought: i have seen some of your posts about that you are not thriving; just dont feel reallly ultimately healthy, etc....this is just a thought, but i know you also said you studied in rome; i dont know how long ago this was or if there is a possibility that it would still be affecting you, but the American girls I moved in with here told me that there has been a study done and there is a serious problem with the water in Rome--something to the effect of they were trying to figure out why so many women in the area were getting cancer related to the female reproductive organs, and turns out that --as i understand it--there are loads of female hormones in the actual water supply in rome from the extensive use of people using birth control pills and then it doesnt get filtered out when the water gets "recycled"; ie treated and released, so the water in the public system here apparently has high levels of these hormones which then when they are taken into your body your body cant do anythign with them and also cant get rid of them.....I dont mean to be spreading rumors here, so someone stop me if they know otherwise regarding this situation, but I was told this by someone I consider to be a pretty reliable source. My understanding is that the water, because of what it contains, seems to also mess up some peoples periods and cycles here too...... one of my housemates was having all sorts of these problems last year but has been fine this year since she stopped drinking the water.....

SO, eatyourbroccoli, i dont know if any of this applies, to you, or if you drank the water here, or if it could still be affecting you if you did, but just a thought.........

hey guys..thank you so much for asking about me. its so nice to know some people out there care.

i just got back from my weekend away today, so i havent gotten a chance to call the naturopath or holistic doctor (i forget which it was) around here yet, but i plan on that tomorrow.

just tryin to take it one day at a time though. im still always dizzy, and im getting lumps on my face/body...sort of look like what cystic pimples look like, but theyre not red and you cant really see them bc theyre flesh colored. they hurt though. i have a feeling theyre an allergic reaction to something, though im not sure WHAT. maybe i need to go 100% organic no exceptions period. blah.

i bought a total cleanse herbal system thing today..gunna wait til after i go to the doctor to start it, though. thinking maybe if i do a body cleanse something .. good .. will happen.

kaybee..my mom always says "i wonder if it was the water in europe that got to you." my school in rome told us to try and drink bottled water bc the tap water had very high levels of calcium something (or something calcium) and drinking it can lead to calcium deposits, and my school in switzerland told us that was the reason why bottled water is served at restaurants when water is ordered as opposed to tap water. i dont know if i remembered that correctly, and i dunno how much of it is true.

ill see what happens with the doctor. thanks guys.
