Let me make this clear - there is nothing "in" the water remedies. This is vibrational healing. I never would have been open to it, despite the barn family's recommendations over a course of years (and before I had ever heard about GD,) if I had not read a book by an old acquaintance. Cyberstalking is a form of recreation for me. I pick an old acquaintance and see what I can find on them online. This person, it turns out, wrote a book about having suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome. He was forced to stop practicing law, got divorced, and sought out alternative healing in an attempt to get his life back. He ends up traveling the world to spend time with energy healers and besides getting results for himself, witnesses many amazing healing episodes. This world was as far from where he started in life as anyone could imagine. I read this when I was first afflicted with GD and had already started on my cilantro smoothies. Vibrational healing was not a thought I was willing to entertain at the time. Then, as the GD got worse and worse, I thought, "what if????" Eight months in a worsening condition, I was finally ready to say, "Why not?" The website for the healer I used is http://www.purplechanges.com. The waters come from Healers Who Share. This is genuine woo-woo stuff. Not homeopathy, not naturopathy. The website explains what she does. She does not discourage use of allopathic medicine, except that she is definitely an anti-vaccer. In fact, there have been times she has told the barn family that they need to see an MD immediately.

As far as alternative medicine goes, there is actually a huge amount of literature about the use of alternative medicine and even essential oils (EO) in the treatment of disease and infection: bacterial, viral and fungal. The National Institute of Health has sponsored a large number of studies that summarizes and evaluated studies from around the world on these topics and emphasizes the importance of these studies as our current medications are self-limiting in their effectiveness over time because of developing resistance.

Through this journey I have become much more knowledgeable about the use of EO. For example, I starting using lavender oil to help sleep. (There is a study on animals where they made them hyper with caffeine and then used lavender oil to calm them down, for example.) If you are curious, you can type in a search "essential oils" and the letters, NIH after and you will find these studies. That's how I came to use clove oil which definitely helped with my rash and itching (not on face or mucous membranes.)

There is research out there and doctors don't have time to look at it all. In this article, there is a discussion of the myriad of possible causes GD: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4051285/. GD is really a symptom. While Nagalase may or may not have been a factor in my GD (it's never been tested so I don't know) it may not be a factor in your GD.
