Geopathic Stress - Fact or Fiction?

People are more aware now than ever of their health. Naturopaths, Homeopaths and any other non-mainstream practice is becoming more and more part of the norm. As hard as we try to exercise daily and eat healthy, there are some natural effects which can be extremely harmful to the immune system and over which we have no control, such as Geopathic Stress (GS).

Ok. For those of you who have NO IDEA what this is, here’s a brief explanation….
If you think of the earth as a giant electro-magnet, GS occurs when waves of radiation seep from the earth’s core and cut across other natural electromagnetic phenomena such as flowing underground streams, mineral concentrations or fault lines. The negative earth rays become harmful as they rise up through buildings affecting the body’s natural biorhythm and causing something commonly known as ‘Sick Building Syndrome’. The impact on health can be dramatic ranging from insomnia and irritability to serious psychological and physical illness.

TWO YEARS AGO
We relocated to La Paloma. That’s where this story begins. We moved in September and by November I was diagnosed with poor circulation in my leg. I was pregnant with Mia at the time, so clearly this was caused by my pregnancy. Shortly after, I developed a blood clot; hence the daily injections of blood thinners began. Once Mia was born, I figured all would be resolved and my health would kick back to the way it used to be. Well, in the following months, leading to this summer, I’ve had, chronic throat infections, Vertigo, several serious stomach infections, restless sleep, severe mood swings and the list can go on….and on….and on…..

APRIL 2008
My mom came to visit us in April to help me through my slump and lift my spirits. She, along with Asuzena, was convinced the house was haunted. She was certain she heard faint whispering voices uttering a few words one night, as she attempted to sleep in the guest house upstairs. For those of you who know my mom, she has a sixth sense for things like this, so sometimes, it’s hard NOT to believe her. Then, Asuzena would always complain of seeing shadows, and feeling ‘heaviness’ on her legs every time she entered the master bedroom. I laughed. Ghosts! Shmosts! No such thing. All is well, everything is fine!
Then, how do you explain my constant ailing immune system, the kids constantly sick, Cristian always throwing up, waking several times at night crying?
SUMMER 2008
I spent most of the summer in TO. It was nice to be away from the ‘sickness’ and in our other home in Markham, where the air seemed fresh and the mood was always cheery. We were in Toronto for almost 3 months and I didn’t get sick once! NOT ONCE! The kids were also great!

BACK TO MEXICO
We returned to Mexico thrilled to be home! After my rejuvenating visit, I decided things would be better and hoped my health would be brighter! I continued Yoga and even went to see a very well known naturist in the city named Dr. Navarro. I’ve been taking my kids to see a naturopath, and all has been well, so I decided to give it a try myself.

FIRST APPOINTMENT
After my blood was drawn and a pee sample taken, I was called into his office. Dr. Navarro. A short little man, scrawny but seemingly strong, with a kind face and a heck of an office. I felt as though I was in a meeting with the Mad Scientist. Gadgets strewn all around and books covered the walls. I sat nervously waiting to get my results. Surely, they couldn’t be that bad! I mean, I’m very active, I eat healthy, most of the time, and I’m always trying to stay focused and positive about life – even though my mom believed my house was haunted!

So, he sat, and reviewed my results….

RESULTS
- Blood is toxic
- Poor Circulation
- Possible chance of Thrombosis
- Lacking nutrients
- Lactose Intolerant
- Allergic to Corn
- Allergic to Wheat
MY REACTION
“Toxic blood? Why? What does that mean? Possible chance of thrombosis….again? Are you kidding me? Lacking nutrients? Sure, I weigh just over 100lbs, but I’m 5ft tall…what’d you expect? Lactose intolerant? Ya, I kinda figured. Corn? I already knew that. Allergic to wheat? NO PASTA? NO PIZZA? NO CAKE? NO GOOD! NO LIFE! NO SHIT!"
I wanted to cry….

DISCUSSION
Dr. Navarro proceeded to walk around me with some metallic wand type thingy. The following words brought shivers up my spine…… “You don’t sleep well at night. All the nutrients you are taking in are being sucked out of you. You need to change the location of your bed… your room is full of sickness!”

I nearly gagged. This man has never met me before and knows NOTHING about me. He continued to explain that my room could possibly be in a Geopathic Stress Zone, hence the reason why I’ve been sick so often. Hence the poor circulation and the blood clot. After a long discussion and some acupuncture in my ears (to help treat my constant aching stomach), I left feeling overwhelmed.

I did cry.

POST APPOINTMENT
I called Hilda (one of my Mexican BFFs – Brenda is the other) and shared my experience. Her response?
“Maryann, you have to move. He said the same thing to Claudia, and look what happened to her.”
(Note: Claudia was a friend who passed away 3 weeks ago from Cancer. She suffered for two years and lost her battle in her hometown, Saltillo. She leaves behind a husband and an adorable 3 year old boy – very devastating.) She too had been to see Dr. Navarro… and he told her the same thing....

PRESENT DAY
We moved!

We’re in a beautiful new neighbourhood called La Jolla. We’re way up in the mountains now and have a beautiful view of the city. So hopefully, any Geopathic Stress waves that may be out there, won’t find me here! The house is gorgeous and the best part is, we have all our own furniture now! We’ve been here almost a month, and I've been feeling incredible. I’ve been continuing Yoga and Pilates daily and seeing the naturopath as much as I need to. I’ve also given up eating dairy, and carbs (bread, pasta etc…) and feeling great as a result of it.

Some may believe, others may not. If you follow Feng Shui this is all related. Negative energy is all around us. Constantly. We just need to find an approach to prevent it from affecting us in a way that might cause harm.

I laughed at my mom, and made fun of Asuzena…… though there were no ghosts in the house, there undoubtedly was something transparent that seeped through the concrete walls and founds its way towards me……of that, I am a believer.

MORAL OF THE STORY
Just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there!
Anything is possible. Better to be safe…than sorry!
