Hello to my readers, aka fellow parents in the trenches. I know I have been gone a very long time, but I have not abandoned you! I have been back in school obtaining my credentials as a Homeopath and a Certified Biofeedback Specialist. I am continuing to pursue a doctorate in Natural Medicine in the background. My goal has always been to help ourselves and then reach out to help an amazing community that I have been a part of for twenty years.
Thank you to all who sent me requests via social media and personal emails asking me to puulease put The Detox Depot back up or at least allow private viewings. I was so touched by that! I knew the blog had a lot of traffic, but I didn’t realize how important it was to many of you. Unfortunately, I felt so pressed to privatize my content during what seemed like a very thick cloud of censorship so I hope you will understand.
While I have been away, I have continued to work very hard to heal our issues and after four years of school and several hundreds of hours of clinicals as well as meeting with my own clients, what I have concluded is that these very difficult autoimmune issues will not be cured. (I can already hear a collective GASP!)
Will there be some cases where an immune system is still in-tact enough that cure is possible? Absolutely! And I have seen this happen. In addition, God can and does work where He wants, so there are miracles as well.
But, overall, I have come to accept that for us, autoimmune dis-eases are going to be managed, not cured. I know many who will refuse that take. That’s okay! It may not be for you. Follow your gut intuition!
But I have to say that mentally and emotionally, being able to come to terms with this helped me stop fighting a war that I cannot win and instead, tackle small battles where I could achieve joyful victory. Winning feels good. Lots of winning feels even better.
What does victory look like? For us, it means pain free happiness and laughter. It means a day out shopping or an activity that we can manage for a few hours without screaming, or melting down. Victory looks like being able to walk, push a cart, climb a jungle gym, ride a bike, learn something new in a stress-free, enjoyable way. It looks like organs that are regenerated and can function – kidneys that are not failing, gallbladders without stones, and livers that can detox. It looks like minimal food allergies, clear skin, a fresh willingness to learn through play, increased communication – even if it is on an iPad or nonverbal. It looks like my oldest, now a junior at a local University, doing very well in a social environment despite being severely autistic as a child.
If you remember where we came from – severe autism, global developmental delay, pandas/pans, lyme, horrid food allergies, very severe and bloody eczema that covered the body – well, we have come miles! Are we cured? Nope. We’re not going to be unless we are on God’s list of miracles; but issues are well managed and I can stay on top of things before they become a full-blown problem. Perhaps this is God’s miracle right there. We have had countless victories working things in this way and now I hope to share them with you.
My blog is full of information. I plan sift back through, do a ton of editing, and pare down what helped us the most. Biofeedback, Homeopathy, Herbals, Diet, and Massage has taken us the distance. This is why I focused on them when I went back to school.
So, from here on forward, I will be sharing what we are most recently doing for detox, organ regeneration, and management of dis-ease on every plane of our lives – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I will be promoting my new business, New Leaf Holistic, where I use the same non-invasive, affordable, and effective modalities for wellness for that I employed to get us where we are today. I hope you will be here for the blog, I hope you will visit my website. I do plan to have some holiday specials put up soon. It’s so good to be back!
