Set Yourself Free From Chronic Pain

Stop all the dairy

and the cups of tea,

stop all the dairy

and you will see

the only step left to do

was release the milk

to benefit you……

We know you have

done your best

but you kept a2

for several months

and even this

must not be daily,

give it up,

you’ll be hale and hearty.

And watch the weight fall-away

as you have freedom everyday

the muscular-skeletal system knows

you will be better

when all dairy goes…..

So give it time

you have been chronic,

but in the spring

your body sings

it’s light and bright

and so drug-free

you’ll spread this word

faithfully……

 (Written on arising from sleep on April 26, 2013 Call this Part One)

When I awake at night

and my body’s on fire

my blood’s so hot

like a stack of tyres

flaming high,

into sky

and I know again

the wild horses are racing

and the metabolic allergy

is what I’m facing.

Some food chemical is now

on the loose again

and which one when?

for how long then?

with nostrils blistering,
sore throat is raging

and my joints so inflamed,

my eyes so dry

with burning pain

and I am watching it

all over again…..

But keep the faith.

I wonder if,

instead of disability

the pain will go

and set me free,

if I decide

to let much go

and believe my health

will return and show

that what I need

is ‘less not more’

open up

and just explore

the possibility,

that for all my years

I have been eating

nourishing foods

that defeated me

with auto-immunity.

The dairy foods

and the grains

are enraging these fires

these chronic pains……

And so, it is

last very night

another message came to me,

another way to set me free.

These proteins are not good for me

the gluten in grains,

the casein in milk,

are present in all my favourite foods,

so it has taken me many long, long, years

to finally eliminate everything

and wait with faith

as new freedom brings

all I ever wanted to be

relaxed, flexible

and truly set free…..

(Call this Part Two - The words in this verse woke me up in the middle of last night, with the full moon shining down to me for a very aha moment...April 28, 2013)

As an ‘almost vegetarian’ nutritionist, I have always loved milk, cheese, bio-dynamic very natural yoghurt and organic rye bread to compliment my healthy diet, and I have found that eliminating my favourite dairy food has taken me years…For me withdrawing from all gluten (wheat, rye, barley and oats) was easier in some ways.

But truly it is the best thing I ever did for myself.

Why did I ever think I just couldn’t let these foods go from my daily life??
