Today I went to a doctor who monitors all my levels every three months. I went just thinking I would be just having all the blood drawn for all the tests and then like usual return in two weeks for all the results.
This doctor is a D.O. and is a MD but specializes in treating conditions by using as many natural supplements as possible. I have really liked what he has helped me with. My oldest daughter drove me to my appointment.
We were in the room talking when the doctor came in with a student resident doctor. My doctor asked how I was doing and I told him that I still have good and bad days and how I am trying to manage everything. He then went on to explain how him and the student doctor had been doing a great deal of research and discussion on the latest research and treatments for Sarcoidosis. He began to share what is going on in the scientific medical field currently.
He told me there is some new research on a condition that is under diagnosed and treated called SIBO. It means a small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. He went on to explain how this condition leads to auto-immue illnesses because of the infection it causes inside your body. He explained the testing and in-depth and expensive treatment to cure this conditions if you have it. He recommended me testing for this condition and if I have it and then begin treatment for it. Treatment would be extensive and last for several months, he suspects I have it as my candida levels have been high which have all been part of this as well.
He especially thinks I might have this condition because of how the Essentail Oils have helped my candida levels come down. He also mentioned to keep on these oils as they are the only thing that has helped my candida decrease.
I have to admit I was blown away by the sheer fact that he would research all about this disease for me. Even when this type of disease is not his specialty. I felt so blessed today and felt so much hope that there might be a cure for what is causing this disease that I have. He said if SIBO is what is causing this illness then it would definitely be putting out the fire and hopeful leading to less flare-ups.
Although this past week has been a roller coaster ride for me, today I realized just how important it is to put your trust into your Father in Heaven and He will the provide the way even when you least expect it! This video explains my gratitude and joy I feel toward him today!
