There are many things I believed were normal; many physical abnormalities and wrong perceptions as being signs of aging. Since 2020, I have sufferred severe Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) also known as Bulldog scalp, which is a rare benign cutaneous disorder that is characterized by convoluted folds and deep furrows of the scalp that mimic cerebral sulci and gyri.
Although it was shameful for me to move around having these tight folds on my head, I didn't consider them to be a problem because I thought they were simply excess fat in my body that found its way to my head. Funny, right? As a matter of fact, if it weren’t for comments from a number of persons, I would never have considered it an abnormality.
After searching out treatments for CVG, I became discouraged because of its cost. I decided in my heart to no longer cut my hair to a level where the folds would be visible. That would be a cheaper solution, I thought.
Last year December, my feet began to feel very light, causing a loss of balance and feeble footing on the ground. After lots of research and few consultations, I came to realise that I was dehydrated. Hitherto, I was having less than 7 cups of water daily. In a broader sense, I learnt more that there are laws of health that must be obeyed ( nutrition, exercise, water, sunlight, temperance, air, rest, trust in God) and in keeping of them the body would be in the best condition to heal itself.
Applying the laws in eating, daily exercise in farming and other activities in the open air and morning sun, an increase in water drinking, being temperate, sleeping early and well, and committing my life to God daily, I began to enjoy a daily improvement of health. Added to these immutable laws, I have been on green juices, Burdock supplements, a powerful antioxidant that removes toxins from the blood and Golden seal which helps with its antibacterial and anti- inflammatory properties.
on the other hand, I must emphasize that my daily water intake was upped from 4 cups to 20 cups. I was shocked to observe my body absorb that volume of water without peeing several times through the day. Of a truth, I was dehydrated.
A few days into this cleansing program and water drinking, my feet became steady and firm again on the ground, I regained balance. Soon, family members shared with me that the folds on my head had DRASTICALLY reduced! This was so amazing to me because I didn't think to treat it neither did I know any other way than surgery which I had read about.
I have been learning great lessons from this ongoing healing. I am learning that all the body needs are clean blood and good conditions and it would heal itself as these laws given to us by our heavenly Father are kept and obeyed through His divine help. I praise the Lord for these immutable laws!
