knickers on the clothesline in their rainbow order
by Pauline June Ross (who survived)


More synchronicity-- The Vet down the road used magnets on horses. Then Polly saw an ad for walking shoes with magnets built into the soles, so she ordered them.
Dr. Holly suggested she watch a movie, “Patch Adams” so she did. His thought was that laughter helped difficulty easier to cope with,then there was a comment from Dr. Holly-- Polly reminded her of him. Partly due to putting the beatiful flowers in the washroom and stealing quietly away.
Thank you once more Dr. Holly, there is more to you than being the "No More Catheter Queen.” The synchronicity was that there was an article in a magazine Polly got from the Health Food Store
“Patch Adams ---- Humour Healing Health”
Dr. Holly was away so Polly took an extra copy for her.
And what is this? An ice cream truck playing cheerful music and calling out to the kids. And Polly actually jogged a hundred yards to the road. Not bad for 50 years of age, and three years of Multiple Shit. Things were looking up!
""

She thought back to a year or so before the sliding down the stairs and bashing her tailbone episode. She'd been out hiking with her friends. The trail was rough, there were a lot of boulders, she stepped wrong, (clumsy, she thought) and really hit her head.
A friend who was a nurse took a cold rock from the creek and put it on the bruise to keep the swelling down. So she'd had several legs going wrong things happen. Later, she looked at her and said, Polly, I can tell you will be okay. This was, and still is, a wonderful group of friends.
Then thinking back maybe twelve years, her top lip went numb. She lisped. Her fingers went stiff on the right hand. What is this?
She went to a doctor she knew at the time. He used acupunture. Only two sessions and everything was back to normal. Was that the early days of the energy field going off balance, and the acupunture re-aligned it? Many questions.
She read about a woman (same condition) who burned Moxibustion - sort of like a Chinese joint. She tried that, it was similar to the mix of cedar and sage the First Nations man had burned. and wafted over them. All these things were similar.

Synchronicity again----a calendar printed in Britain, after that the US. “The Ladies Of Rylstone” They were all nude and hiding behind their hobbies. They were raising money for reseach into Leukemia, they were all wearing pearls. Then Polly stopped at a Ladies Consignment Store, and there she bought a necklace made of seed pearls, (on sale). It goes on and on.
Where were you Dr. Holly and Dr. Branny, she must tell you of this.
""

Suddenly, more synchronicity. A book, “Exploring The Labyrinth”.
There was hope for her yet. Then she told the marshmellow--cookie rhyme to a friend who worked in a lunchroom, who then reached into her apron pocket, and pulled out a handful of cookie crumbs!
Then more. Sorting through some books and papers, there was a polaroid photo of four of her fingertips, with a healthy glow around them. This was Kirlian photography, taken in 1984. She’d forgotten all about it. Written on the back was the date, and

“I have a lot of energy around me. Orange backround and
white blob are healing powers. This is a good energy photo.”

And what about Kirlian photography? A photograph of energy? Things were getting past her. Then in a paper by a doctor who used Calcium EAP on his MS patients.
Sharks were cancer free their bodies contained squalene, a sort of mother substance for steroids. And a peculiarity of squalene was that it was extremely Kirlian positive, and converted field energy into photon energy. Was that why it showed up in her finger - tip photo? Did she have some? It was a good energy photo. Could she have some more?
And sharks obtained a large share of their energy from the universe, so did insects. From universal energy. What if she ate pills made from shark cartilage, apparantly a by-product of shark fish and chips. An English delicacy. Also fish balls. Hmmm.
      Then a paper from England, cause of MS was a wound to the central nervous system. Which could happen when blood pressure became elevated in the brain and spinal cord for a prolonged period of time. This could damage blood vessels which were susceptable to such stress. This produced changes in the nervous system, that resulted in a lack of oxygen, similiar to a stroke. Which led to destruction of the myelin sheath. Thoughts back to the incredibly ugly hospital experience. That was childbirth? How could they not understand? Some years later, she had a CAT Scan, bad headaches. The doctor told her that at some time, she‘d had a small stroke. Probably didn’t know at the time. Well, she knew what all of it was about now.
Being shaken up so badly that she was a jigsaw puzzle missing a piece. Maybe it did start with too many amalgam fillings, maybe it was nasty measles as a child. Maybe herpes simplex turned into herpes multiplex. Maybe it was some sort of nasty Viking virus. Maybe being too clever and zapping out 600 palindromes got everything really mixed up. (at least she thought to place a copyright on them). 1995--1996

Polly's longest palindrome-
!Dam I made Rita tired. Am I Mad!
(palindromes often don't make much sense. Poor Rita)

So. Towards the end of a long and not very happy story. Complete with Latin and Greek, (classical of course). And rhymes and chubby looking stick people and don’t forget the palindromes, even a quatrain that rhymed! And Dasher, a canine hero! And bushes and trees and an outhouse, and cards made for a one of a kind Naturopath, Dr.Holly. And a recorder and a rock and a walk down a forest trail. And Kirlian glowing fingertips, and her mother Iris, the rainbow, which led into Polly the rainbow knicker woman, The Chakra Knicker Woman.
And what was now beginning to seem a less horrible condition, with a lot more hope than she started with. And to quote Winston Churchill,

“Never, Never, Never
 Give Up”

A Poem a Prayer a Meditation to Goda to All That Is

" "

" "

" "
"As immature as life is
When you’re not an Angel yet
Calling in the PIZZAZZIP
While waiting for the Goda speed jet
Goda in the running water
Goda in the falling drops
Goda in the thin sliced agate
Goda in the coloured rocks
There goes Skidbladnir flying high
Oh to be so young
;Have to wait for the Angel wings
To get in on the fun
But maybe not---
If “All That Is” is everywhere
And nothing is out of reach
And Goda is the Earthworld tide
Lapping at the beach
And life and living
Is in the hand of Goda
Waiting for people to see
Waiting for people
To ask to beckon
Come this way with me
Come see the running water
Come see the flowers, the trees
Come see the energy all about us
Come walk beside me please."

In came Dr. Trenciansky, a newcomer on the scene. An up and coming young Naturopath who knew all about Calcium EAP (see pg 13). and was good at poking people. She also knew lots of other good stuff.

soon to be
AKA
Dr. Trensky

Welcome.






      Things said -- take them as you will
It's going to get worse, you must be prepared
Don't panic. All you need are stronger reading glasses.
OK At fifty.
They use that treatment in Europe. We don't use it here.
Well, Polly does. (and many others)
You're not really upset and crying because your mother
is so ill. You're really upset because you have a lesion on the part of the brain that governs emotions. And that from the government.
My first husband died of that. Horrible.
A friend of mine died of that. He drank a lot and used drugs. You are starting out in much better condition. My aunt died of MS. She donated her brain to science.
Is MS silly putty of the brain?
            Good Luck



There went a guru flying around the world on his magic carpet, looking for wisdom. Bring some for Polly, please.

Postscript

Sorry for any mistakes, i.e. (that's Latin) when σ was supposed to be ς (that's Cl. Greek)
      for rude things said about Vikings
      for frogs eaten by Great Blue Herons
      for confusion about the Thle vision
      for confusing Doctors with spiders
      for a tangled up energy field, under repair
      for a lot more small slips, but then,
            Polly is not an Angel yet



Further postscript- a relative, a Chemical Engineer, who looked at the papers re Calcium EAP, and said there is nothing here that can hurt you. Calcium is calcium and the EAP is introduced to help it absorb easier into the bloodstream. Works better than taking it in pill form, also available. Ask Dr. Trensky.



A BIG POSTSCRIPT--------
      Polly met Patch Adams at a talk he was giving, and asked him, may I use your name in my writing, "Polly's Chakra Knickers", all about into and nearly nearly out of Multiple Shit. And he said yes.
      A kind man with a big message. See him if you can. "Polly's Chakra Knickers" is a small part, but it is what Polly can do.
            Do what you can.





"Goda put the kettle on
Made a pot of tea
Put out the cups and saucers
A place for you and me"
