My Story

I was VERY sick for several years. It started in high school when I was randomly diagnosed with asthma. I was confused how as a healthy high school runner, I could randomly get asthma, but that's what the doctors said.

Once I got to college I kept getting sick. By mid-freshman year I was told I had chronic bronchitis and sinus infections. Every time I went to the doctor, (at least twice a month) I was given at least one antibiotic. I had headaches often, my immune system became very weak, and I was always coughing. From here it only got worse.

Antibiotics and medicine like Advil are very hard on your stomach. Antibiotics are meant to kill the bad bacteria in your stomach that is making you sick, but it cannot target only the bad bacteria, and as a result, it kills a lot of good bacteria as well. Because I was prescribed antibiotics so often, much of the good bacteria in my body was killed off, and the Advil I was taking started creating ulcers. Without good bacteria in my stomach, I couldn't fight off any sicknesses so I kept getting more and more sick.

The next two years got much worse. I was flying out to see specialists all the time and no one knew what to do. They kept giving me more antibiotics!!!!!!!! All of these issues also caused acid problems in my stomach because my acid levels were all messed up and so I started throwing up all the time. I felt nauseous 100% of the time and threw up multiple times a week. It was horrible. I was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, and a ton of chronic conditions. I felt horrible every single day and kept gaining weight and was always sick.

I felt like I had tried everything but my mother-in-law encouraged me to try a more natural route. I went to a natural doctor who explained that because my stomach had little holes in it (ulcers), food I ate leaked from my stomach, into my blood stream. Food should never be in your blood stream, so my body's natural reaction was to reject these foods, causing many food allergies. He tested several foods and I found out I was now allergic to chicken, eggs, all cow and goat dairy, whey and soy protein, all nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, many spices), acidic foods, peanut butter, any tree nuts, bananas, and the list goes on.  Because I had been eating these foods often, it was hurting my immune system even more.

After realizing I had to change my diet if I wanted to get better, I slowly started transitioning to eating well. I started drinking green drinks and many symptoms slowly started lessening. I still wasn't feeling as good as I wanted to because the acid problems had been so severe I still needed to do more. I came across an essential oil and started taking that. Within 3 weeks my stomach stopped hurting and my migraines were going away. My asthma wasn't bugging me and I wasn't coughing. I kept taking it and then as I saw it working more and more I started switching out my daily meds, for natural alternatives. It's now been almost two years and I have been completely healthy for over a year. I got rid of all medication and have healed my gut naturally... and the best part... I FEEL GREAT. Once I started feeling good, I kept transitioning my diet and now, I eat very well. The better I eat, the better I feel, but the transition is easy if you do it right!
