I'm seeing some great improvements on a new supplement, and just in time for my new year's eve party.
I've started taking zeolite powder (brand name: Zeolite Pure by Zeo Health) in water daily for the past 4 days, but I started noticing a significant change yesterday - the third day. Fatigue and overstimulation are melting away, and my energy is freeing up so much that I'm able to clean my place properly. Believe me, it's become quite cluttered since living in this high energy city that ends up depleting me. But, this stuff is cleaning out something inside me that was slowing me down and making me prone to stomach sickness and colds.
It removes heavy metals from the body, but I have a hard time believing that's already happening after only a few days. Still, it would make sense that mercury is leaving my body, since sensory overstimulation is a symptom of mercury toxicity. And overstimulation is what weakens the immune system.
A ton of information on the benefits can be found on www.liquidzeolite.org, although this is mostly a propaganda site for the liquid version that has less of the active ingredient than the powder version (see the clarification on the Zeo Health site).
This stuff even shrinks tumors by turning off the cancer growth gene - information that was timely for me to learn because my aunt Wilma's boyfriend has cancers of all kinds and is going in for intensive treatment. I offered her this information today, and she was grateful. Hopefully, my help will come to fruition here.
It's FDA approved as safe and has been used for 20 years for water purification and as an addition to cattle feed to improve their health. Right now, that company who makes the liquid version called NCD is seeking a patent to establish its use as a cancer treatment, since the FDA doesn't allow sellers to make cure claims otherwise. There is really no need to go farther than the over-the-counter powder form, which is what the original research is based on. The liquid sellers are just trying to make an excess of money and, only recently, have trials on their version begun. Still, I'd be glad if doctors started recommending this product instead of overly aggressive treatments that don't get to the root of the problem.
This doctor uses it in his practice for cancer, autism, and Asperger:
Dr. Prociuk's audio blurbs
I've recommended that my dad use it to treat his diabetes, since I've read about some users whose diabetes have pretty much disappeared (if they're true and not planted by advertisers). It's said to absorb excess glucose, preventing blood sugar spikes. He may be able to lower his insulin requirement.
Well, I hope to continue seeing gains over the next few weeks and months. What I like about it is that it won't cause any side effects because the zeolite molecule is inert and insoluble in the body. It simply absorbs the unwanted particles (heavy metals, toxins, excess glucose, hydronium, etc.) and leaves the body in 5-7 hours without a trace. I've had problems with other supplements before when they've accumulated and given me uncomfortable side effects the more I used them. No longer have to worry about that.
Now, my fear is if, for some reason, availability of this substance decreases and I can't keep using it! But I know there are ways of producing it synthetically if mining no longer works out. If this is my long-term solution, I wish I could have had it 20 years ago! My Asperger might never have been an issue.
Update:
Toward the latter part of the day, I started to feel very sleepy despite getting enough rest last night. This is known to be part of the detoxing process. It's probably candida die-off, which means it would theoretically be easier to lose weight after the process is over. Those damn last 5 lbs...or maybe 10, knowing me.

I've terminated my own personal therapy after about 3 months of good experiences. This is the e-mail I wrote my now former therapist:
"As a good sign, I'm thinking of taking a brief break from therapy and coming back again later. For me, the urge to be in treatment goes in waves depending on what issue I'm aware of that needs resolving and where I am in that process. I came to you for official recognition of my Asperger and for validation of that in the context of my every day life experiences. I have gotten that, happily, and a lot of tension has been lifted. I feel stronger in my acceptance of the symptoms I can't change yet still very motivated to work on the ones I possibly can improve upon. The other areas of my life are, of course, rich, but I'm doing pretty well at handling them, I think.
I would like to continue with you again, though, since I feel things went so well. Possibly in a couple months, I will contact you to return. I may try group therapy in the mean time, since that's still a new and challenging process for me.
Let me know if you would like any more feedback or if you feel you'd like to comment on anything you've observed. I'd be happy to oblige. Also, thanks for the letter and for signing my jury duty form. I'll let you know if anything happens in relation to those too."
So that's that.
However, I'm now thinking of seeking out online therapy and going for a Gestalt therapist - like the kind of therapist I'm now becoming. It's a totally different and, in my opinion, better approach. Not sure if I can find one who happens to do sessions online, though, since a lot of the work involves noticing what's happening in the moment. Can't see body language over the 'net. I'd have to describe it, but that's very dependent on my awareness of it, which may be lacking. So a local one may do. Just not yet, since I really do need a break and am feeling good. Of course, feeling good isn't contraindicated to being in therapy, since it's an ongoing process of building self-awareness in a relational setting.
What I got from having my Asperger officially recognized is the knowledge that my self-awareness is worth something - that I'm not delusional about myself because I was actually right that I've had it all my life. So now I can more solidly trust my intuitions, needs, self-perceptions, and feelings. Other people's denials won't diminish my determination so much. It's nice to not be affected when people try to invalidate your self-knowledge. I can stand my ground now, and that goes for all parts of my experience and not just my AS.

They're really puffing up my profession in this e-mail I received. But, of course, they would...
The theme of the 2009 Annual AAAMFT Conference will be:
"MFT: The Difference That Makes the Difference"
MFTs are part of a distinctive and unique profession. The difference in our training, the difference in our theories and the difference in our interventions makes a difference in our clients' lives. Consumers, businesses, and the mental health community have increasingly appreciated the MFT difference. Many employers are now expressing a preference for MFT trained therapists. In fact, competing professions, understanding the majority of clients list relational problems as their primary concern, fight for the title of "Family Therapist," or the right to claim they are qualified to deliver relational interventions. Marriage and family therapists, embracing the uniqueness of this profession, have tremendous opportunities to establish themselves as valued healthcare providers. The difference of MFT is not a secret. The National Institutes of Mental Health recognizes marriage and family therapists as a "core" mental health profession, along with psychiatry, psychology, social work, and psychiatric nursing. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia also recognize MFT as a distinct profession through licensure. Despite this overwhelmingly professionally established identity, challenges continue as some—even in our own professional community—suggest that MFTs are not unique, or that family intervention are merely a subspecialty of other disciplines. We seek abstracts for presentations that specifically address these issues, focusing on the differences that make the difference.
Maybe when I'm licensed, I'll go to one of these and get continuing education credits. In the mean time, I've gotten my MFT intern number, so it's official that I'm accumulating my hours now. I'm just not getting many client assignments yet at my current training site so, if it doesn't pick up there, I'm considering working under someone's private practice as well. I need to get those hours under my belt, since there's a deadline.
