My Beginning
At age 21, just after having my second child, I was experiencing many health challenges and was recommended a naturopathic doctor for neck and back challenges. In my visits, he became aware of my many challenges and recommended some testing. The results included: hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), colitis, anemia, valley fever, vitamin deficiency, high in toxic drugs and metals and more. In addition, I was experiencing many other issues which he was totally unaware of: more than a dozen breast lumps, depression, pollen allergies, migraines, and arthritis in my knees. To say the least, I was a physical and emotional wreck and I felt like I was continuously in a deep dark pit with no way out!
His recommendation was a 4-part system:
1) whole foods diet (no processed foods, no milk products, no breads, instead lots of fresh fruits & veggies, raw nuts and seeds, healthy fats, some lean meats)
2) specified cleansing program
3) intense supplementation of the highest quality products
4) targeting support with herbal supplementation
This was a challenge to completely make these changes, but due to the fact that he was monitoring my progress, I was very diligent in being strict to his outline. A few days went by…. I was hungry, I was tired of only eating all these fresh raw, wholesome foods… and I remember asking him on the phone, “How long do I have to stay on this diet?” I still remember the long pause at the other end, then his response, “Forever if you want to be healthy!” Well that was far from what I wanted to hear, but it stuck with me – I needed to hear that. He helped me understand that if I followed the laws of nature and stuck with the program I could get well…..and if I didn’t, I would continue to experience these dysfunctions. I wanted to get well!
Within two months, I began to feel more energy, more positive about life, and much happier. Things were changing in my body and I felt great! Between 5-6 months into it, I realized that ALL of the issues that I had been experiencing were completely gone…no more breast lumps, migraines, pollen allergies, low blood sugar responses, depression, arthritis – no more – I was full of energy and vitality! I was a changed person! I had begun to understand the power of foods, and the power of choice in what I was putting in and on my body!
Most of us have bought into the ‘junk food and medicines’ lifestyle. With that comes the oppression of feeling trapped emotionally and physically in our dysfunctional bodies without answers. When I saw the transformation in my own health simply by understanding and applying the principles of a wellness lifestyle, I realized that this is such a key for our struggling, sick world who know not where to find the answers. In nature, we find these simple success secrets – wholesome foods and medicines found in nature!
