Hope

Have you ever watched the show ‘God Friended Me?’  I think a lot of people watch it not necessarily because they believe in God but they want to have hope. Kind of like the magic of Christmas. 

When I was ill with numerous different diagnoses, I wanted hope that I would feel better and that I would get better.  Being involved in the field of  health care, I looked to the professionals to heal me.  What I got was not what I expected. Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and place for medications and health care treatment. For me it was 12 medications later and I was getting sicker.

 After lots of research, I realized that my illnesses could possibly be healed with just food.  REALLY? FOOD?  Well I have been eating food for many years.  What happened?  It was the kinds of food I was eating and the stress in my life. If you would have told me that to begin with, I would have doubted you just like people doubt, when I tell them the same thing. Then I started a whole food supplement, eliminated diet coke from each day (I drank 1 every day)and sugary sweets; I stopped coffee for 6 months; stopped drinking wine for 1 year.  What happened?  I got off of all my 12 medications.  I started craving whole food; fruits, vegetables, berries, every day. 

Now, I want to say right now, I was at a point of hopelessness in my life. I had missed out on a lot of my children’s events because I was sick. They wanted to send me to the Mayo clinic to go get care that they thought I needed.  What I needed was to eat more whole food nutrition and decrease my stress.  I feel better now in my mid-50’s than I did in my 30’s.  I can tell you there is hope. 

If you need some extra hope and help in your life, reach out.  We’ve got you.  Don’t worry, you likely won’t have to make as drastic of changes as I did, but there is help and hope out there. We can help you one step at a time. You decide the pace; fast or slow, whichever is best for you.  Stay well my friend!
