Week 11
During the last 2 months I’ve been on the final stages of recovery of a severe skin infection. As I was in this journey I was also developing my DMP, part of which is, ” true health.”
The journey to defining “true health,” especially while recovering from a severe infection, aligns deeply with the foundational concepts presented in the sources regarding the nature of water and biological function.
The sources emphasize that water is not merely a passive solvent but is central to all of
biology. My blog this week is about the health journey I’ve been on for over a year.
It started in September 2024 when I had a root canal done by my dentist and within a week of that event, I found my mouth was filling up with several sores.
I then booked an appointment to go back to my dentist and have him look at what was going on and he immediately knew what it was and described it from a textbook that he had when he went to college 40 years ago as something called pemphigus vocaris.
He proceeded to send me to a doctor and later to a dental specialist. The dental specialist did a biopsy in my mouth where I had the sores to make sure I didn’t have cancer. I knew I didn’t have cancer, however, I had to do the biopsy and wait for the results.
By the time this happened it was now into November, still no answers so I proceeded to go on a trip and by this time the sores were beginning to spread to other parts of my body. Basically, wherever I had soft tissue and it was quite discomforting and quite painful.
By the time January 1 came along I could not eat anything solid so for the month of January I was having broth and baby food and searching for answers from various
doctors.
Finally, I met a Doctor who recognized what was going on with my skin infection and he sent me to a dermatologist at the St Paul’s hospital in Vancouver I was given a bunch of drugs to take to reduce the sores.
My dermatologist was a little taken back when she saw me because she had only seen the condition I had in her textbooks, but never a live case. I was the first life case she had ever seen.
Then she told me that they probably wasn’t another case in my province because it’s so rare that only a few cases of this particular skin condition ever occur in our country and just a handful in North America on an annual basis.
The drugs they gave me actually did help my mouth and as a result, I began to eat more solid food, but now my haematologist put me on a strict diet because what was discovered was that I actually had a parasite and so I proceeded in the month of April and May to kill the parasite and to, put me on a diet of certain kinds of food, so it was still tough to eat, but not as tough as it was in January.
My dermatologist specialist lived or worked rather quite a distance away from me in the city of Vancouver and so a lot of my meetings were on Zoom calls.
When she saw my face in April on the Zoom call, I think she panicked and she says I think we need to get you into the hospital and take a look at what’s going on because by this time my face was covered in these sores and scabs and I had improved in my mouth a little bit for sure but the skin condition had got to my face.
I went to the hospital on the last day of April and got checked into emergency because that’s their way they do things so I spent two nights in the emergency ward, which is like a war zone and then finally I got sent up to a semi private room.
Once I was in this private room, I started a series of intravenous drug treatments to try and help my skin condition. The one that’s called Phemfagus vocarus. The treatments that I received took about two weeks and I was released after the last treatment and came home.
