IN MAY 2006, WHEN JUST 65 YEARS I GOT A STROKE; LEAVING THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY WITHOUT SENSATION.

THE CULPRIT OF THIS BLEEDING IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN, APART FROM A TOO WEAK BLOOD VESSEL, IS :TOO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

AFTER 4 WEEKS I WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL, AND GOT A COLLECTION OF PILLS WITH ME TO KEEP MY BLOOD PRESSURE LOW ER THAN IT WAS. I HAVE TAKEN QUITE A FEW MEDICATIONS IN MY LIFE, ESPECIALLY ANTIBIOTICS WHEN 13 YEARS OLD, AFTER A LONG OPERATION, OPERATIONS AFTER THE ACCIDENT WITH MY HAND, AND SEVERAL LONG INFLAMMATIONS LATER ON.

HOWEVER, AFTER COMING HOME AFTER THE LONG OPERATION, COMING FROM HOSPITAL WITH DRUGS, I HAD TO TAKE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I HAD A STRONG FEELING AGAINST THIS, IT FELT WRONG (I COULD NOT HAVE EXPLAINED WHY)- AND I ABANDONED THEM. FOR MY FACE PAIN I DID NOT USE PAIN KILLERS EITHER; IT 'HAD TO BE PAIFULL'.

SO, COMING HOME NOW WITH BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATORS (PROBABLY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE), AND FEELING MORE AND MORE TIRED EVERY DAY AND BEING UNABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT ( POSSIBLE SIDE EFEECTS), I DECIDED TO ABANDON ALL PILLS AGAIN.

NOW I HAVE MY EXPLANATION:

MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED BY THE REGENERATTIVE CAPABILITY OF MY BODY. AT THIS MOMENT -I THINK- MY BODY IS WORKING VERY HARD TO HEAL MY BRAINS FROM THE EFFECT OF THE STROKE, AND THIS NEEDS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. I THINK I SHOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THIS NATURAL BODILY HEALING PROCESS; ESPECIALLY NOT WITH PILLS WHICH HAVE SEVERAL SIDE EFFECT.

I WANT TO GIVE MY BODY A FAIR CHANCE TO RECOVER, AND SUPPORT IT BY AYURVEDIC DIET AND HERBS TREATMENT.

BESIDE THIS I TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE RISK OF FAILING.

Just this week (june 2006) I found on a Dutch web the following news item:

36.000 ziekenhuisopnames door bijwerkingen

Zeker 36.000 mensen zijn in 2003 in het ziekenhuis beland vanwege bijwerkingen van geneesmiddelen. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van het Erasmus Medisch Centrum in opdracht van het College voor zorgverzekeringen. Van deze duizenden opnames had eenderde voorkomen kunnen worden. Zo kunnen artsen problemen voorkomen door onderling beter te overleggen. Patiënten krijgen soms hetzelfde middel door verschillende medici dubbel voorgeschreven. Ook schiet volgens de onderzoekers de voorlichting van arts aan patiënt soms tekort. De meeste problemen ontstaan bij medicijnen tegen hart- en vaatziekten

IT'S ABOUT ANNUAL CASUALTIES IN HOLLAND BECAUSE OF PRESCRIBED DRUG'S SIDE-EFFECTS.

I LEAVE THIS IN THE DUTCH LANGUAGE, TO TIP TO THE REALITY, THAT I SPEAK HERE A DIFFERENT KIND OF LANGUAGE FROM THE COMMON ESTABLISHED WESTERN MEDICAL WORLD'S LANGUAGE.

IN ENGLISH LAST WEEK I RECEIVED THIS REPORT FROM A FRIEND:

The story with my father was that he took a daily cocktail of drugs as prescribed by the doctor, which were increased from time to time. When he appeared to be failing and his internal systems were shutting down, he was given only 24 hours to live, so my mother stopped all medication to given him a chance to be as clear-minded as possible at the end. We held his hand overnight, but then in the morning he woke up alert, demanded his breakfast and lived for another seven years, till he was over ninety!

WHEN SPEAKING WITH A DOCTOR -BROUGHT UP IN THE WESTERN SYSTEM S/HE KNOWS NO OTHER OPTIONS THAN THESE PILLS, AND LAUGHS ABOUT HEALING ALTER RNATIVES OUTSIDE THEIR SYSTEM. I ACCEPT THEIR ANIMOSITY ABOUT IT, AND HOPE THAT THE DIFFERENT HEALING SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD LEARN TO UNDERSTAND, RESPECT AND COOPERATE (INSTEAD OF FIGHTING) EACH OTHER, LIKE RELIGIONS SHOULD DO TOO.

After this still we bought a blood pressure apparatus and obtained readings(which were moderately high) during one week We sent these around and people were calmed down a bit.

We took one week off from readings reading and the rest you can read here:

Dear members of the family,

After I sent you a list of readings last week, we took a week off and planned to restart taking readings from yesterday (monday 26-06) for another week again.

I took 10 readings over yesterday and, according to the WHO they are markedly elevated.

Last night I reconsidered my position and came to the realization that all during my life has been a blessing, including my stroke (I am not saying here that all also has been easy !).

I concluded that I don't see any reason why -what still has to come- should be different from that (another 20 years of physical health or otherwise, including any level of blood pressure).

At this moment I have decided to stop efforts to change my blood pressure as it seems to be mine. When anyone asks me from now, the answer will be: "It's fine, could'n be better" or linguistic variations. This will not have as consequence that I will change to a 'lifestyle a la James Dean' or the like. So, please don't worry about me anymore.

Wishing you all the best,

So, we closed this subject to be discussed in a one-way argument.

However I do not suggest that everyone should so stubborn a me. If one is not able to risk death or being wrecked by whatever, then follow doctor's advices (and don't ask for their garantees because they can't give one).

A the other hand in Dutch the word stubborn translates itself as following one's own wisdom

This last I do advice indeed, accompanied with as much information as one possibly can collect.

Its about one's own body and own life. One has to lead that oneselfe; no one else can lead your life really.
