When I originally came to Blue Morpho, my body was riddled with a runaway mycoplasma (bacterial) infection.  By 2006, my body was going into system failure—my eyesight had seriously degraded, I had multiple brain lesions, necrotic skin tissue, and a persistent fever of 101 degrees F.  Just before I came to camp, because of rapid weight loss and a worsening of my condition , I was advised to go off the antibiotics, as my body could no longer tolerate them.  Allopathic medicine could help me no longer and my prognosis was grim.

As an example of my remarkable healing (thanks to the Blue Morpho shamans) I’ll use the following as one example: although antibiotics knocked back the raging infection, it had been in my body long enough to cause an inflammatory cascade and a multi-system autoimmune disorder.  One cascade involved my vision.  I was diagnosed with a rare corneal eye disease and had developed persistent double vision.  Gradually, across my 3 visits to the camp, things steadily improved.  After a two year steady healing process, I no longer see double.  And then, finally, a year ago, I returned to an ophthalmologist for an exam.  I no longer have any trace of the eye disease.  But, what really floored me was that I no longer even have astigmatism—which I’ve had for 30 years!

 

After my first visit to camp, I had a sense of wonder for what this medicine was teaching me but I didn’t really have the expectation that it could physically heal these impossible conditions.  But in my gratitude and engaged presence with this medicine, all things were and are possible.

 

I disappeared into the jungle with no expectation whatsoever, no hope, other than everything else had failed me and I would try this, even though i believed that it would likely fail me as well.  Working with this medicine takes indomitable courage, but it was worth it.  I have trusted the shamans of Blue Morpho with my life and they were there for me, all the way.  I am forever grateful.
