Many have asked what I have done in my journey to heal. I finally typed it up. I'm the first to say it's a combination of things and choices I've made throughout the years that got me here. I do feel certain things made a significant impact in moving me forward. Most of the things I believe in exist within this group. I share everything I've tried or still use. We also share things I havent tried because they work for others.
One of the biggest reasons the groups and website were created was to provide hope by empowering us with options through education with a focus on solutions.
These are just a few private pictures I took that I didn't intend on ever sharing. Not super comfortable sharing them but vulnerability is ok. It is a small glimpse, and only a small glimpse of a few moments. I have been to hell and back. I feel the things I chose moved me forward. I regret nothing in what I have chose or didn't choose. I followed my instincts. I am not saying my way is the way. I am not saying this will heal you. I am not saying other methods are better or worse. I am simply an open book and if sharing what I did helps you then I'm not going to be quiet about it.
Am I in perfect health? NO. Do I have bad days? YES. But .....
I have a life now.
I am a mother again.
I am a wife again.
I am a daughter again.
I am a sister again.
I am a friend to many.
I do things in the world again.
I laugh a lot.
I am drastically better.
I choose things that bring joy.
I protect myself.
Have I changed? For sure I have. I am extremely strong and I know it. Hell I had to be strong enough to treat my own child during my own battle. I had to be strong to set an example.
I am resilient.
I know who I am without a doubt. I have Lyme disease, Rocky mountain spotted fever, Babesia, Bartonella, Erhlichia, TBRF and several more. I was bedridden with the worst symptoms a human should ever have to experience. I assure you I was severe. Here is my list.
Hopefully I am remembering everything . Not in perfect order.
1. Got a LLND
2.. 18 months of IV antibiotics (plus 6 months oral)
3.. I took supplements and herbals throughout treatment and still take things.
4. I removed root canals and metals
5. Went to all natural protocol as soon as stable
6. I addressed mold
7. I address parasites
8. I always work on viruses.
9. Gut health also a focus throughout
10. Consistently address immune system, detox and inflammation. Super important
IMMUNE
DETOX
INFLAMMATION
11. Added PEMF, infrared photon mat
12. Added gentle exercise
13. Fixed regularity
14. Added WAVE 1 frequency device. Called Nikki now. discount code RISEABOVE
15. Established regular therapy sessions
Note:
💚I let go of false friendships early on. I held on to the people that stood by me and let the rest go. I let go of anyone who judged me or didnt believe me.
💚 I do not stay with dismissive doctors. They get fired. I will not let them dismiss me ever again.
💚 I did advocacy work throughout to give me purpose and to fight back.
💚I do not engage in negativity and avoid at all costs.
💚I am always seeking peace and joy wherever I can.
I'll edit as I add or remember things.
All of these things contributed to my healing and improving symptoms for me. Each thing I did moved me forward in some way. I regret nothing. 🤜💚🤛
