My story and life experience
40 years ago I was in my tummy’s mother, and I was already in a stressful environment. My mother lost a child before and now she was scared of losing me too. I was born too early and with several issues, I was put into an incubator but I still started developing a lot of infections and symptoms. That is why I got antibiotics very early in life, which affected me later in my adult life, especially in my gut system which developed all kinds of intestinal challenges. I was crying a lot, and I didn't like to eat very much, but my parents insisted on feeding me what was available in the communist era in Romania.
At 21 I started travelling the world, and also started developing more and more symptoms. My menstruation was always a challenge, it was really painful and I was losing a lot of blood. I was starting to have lung infections, pneumonia and very easily getting the flu. I had several organs removed, appendicitis, amygdala, polyps, and tonsils. Organs that were getting very quickly inflamed, but actually without them my symptoms got worse. It was harder for my body to recover from illness and symptoms.
I have had chronic and cystic acne since I was 11 years old. I had adrenal fatigue, and I was getting more and more tired everyday. I was very often getting UTI infections paired with different streptococ and e-coli. And for all of this I was getting all kinds of antibiotics and treatments. I lived in Holland at the time I started to develop other gastrointestinal symptoms, pain, diarrhoea, gut issues.
These were all symptoms that no one could explain and tell me exactly what the root cause was. I was in a loop of being sick and then a little bit better, sick and again a bit better, and so on.
At 33 years old I got a long list with diagnosis: Hashimoto’s, Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, leaky gut, migraine, heavy metals, anxiety, depression, chronic UTI, chronic fatigue, infertility, severe teeth infections, PCOS, fibroma, chronic acne and more….
The solution that doctors gave me was to take out a part of my female organs, and to give me a lifetime of hormones, antibiotics and painkillers.
After spending so many years ill, in hospitals and always looking for ways to heal me I knew it was time to STOP. To take a different approach and start a different way of living.
July 2017 I went into a health store and a lady gave me a book from Medical Medium. I found in there so many of my symptoms, and the ways to naturally heal them. That is the moment I said from now on I am going to take control of my own life and will start a healing journey that is based on natural and simple tools. No more pills, antibiotics, hormones and quick treatments to cure only the symptom. I felt my body telling me to stop.
August 2017 I started a 28 day cleanse with fruits and vegetables and low fat foods. I felt so amazing during this time and I realized that the healing lies in my own hands. My body has the power to heal itself if I give it the space to do that.
Diving into the healthy world, also came at me with a huge amount of conflicting information regarding what to eat and supplement. Eat raw, eat cooked, eat eggs, don't eat eggs, eat low fat, eat high fat and so on. Try this therapy, try this massage, try these alternative medical approaches and on and on.
And yes, I have tested a lot of these protocols, therapies and options.
After 7 years of doing this my conclusion is this: in an alkaline environment the body starts to naturally heal. I brought a lot of changes in my life that allow me to keep my body like that.
Now I get to live my dream life, to have the energy to do what I really love and spend my time in my favourite places in the world and with my favourite people. I trust my body and I feel connected with it.
I am 100% sure that everything is possible and that every single being has the power to heal with simple and easy ways. It takes determination and a strong will to do this, but I can guide you to find what works best for you.
I think we should all know the basics, how our body functions, why it is important to connect with the earth, how to eat local and organic grown foods, be present and aware, have family and friends that support you and have a job that brings you joy.
