I receive recommendations all the time for products, therapies and protocols in the hopes something may help me. I very rarely try those recommendations – and I want people to understand why.

I used to think doctors had the answers. They didn’t. Then I thought some alternative program would be the thing. Those did not fix me either. Through all of it – I have been sicker than you can imagine and everything set me back – physically, financially or both.

In recent years, I have learned ways I can be more present with and for my family – while I still heal (slowly).

I am choosing that on purpose and with intention. That means I am deliberate about adding anything into my regimen.

My primary focus is on healing cells and tissues – through nutrition as much as possible.

I am also focused on supporting my compromised detox pathways so toxins can get out of my body and not recirculate which causes massive head and neck pain, severe body aches, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, cognitive issues, etc. (often for weeks at a time).

It doesn’t take much to set me back. I took one drop of a remedy recently that put me to bed for several days; 2 weeks later, I’m still fighting the effects. That means it works, yes – but it’s more than my body can handle.

What often happens when I add something new is that my body responds negatively to other things I’m already doing – diet, supplements, therapies all come to a stop and I have to slowly build back everything. This can take months to just get back to baseline.

During that time, my ability to be present – to be wife, mom, nana – deminishes. My family life suffers.

I’ve been sick since 2006 and disabled since 2013. All these years, I have been doing research on my diseases and co-conditions. I have a deep understanding of how the body works, down to the dna level, and I understand how and why my body responds the way it does to various things.

Anytime I learn about something new, I dig in deep to study it: body hacking, peptides, frequencies, ozone, apiatherapy, multi-drug therapies, etc etc etc.

I know what I want to add to my protocol – and what I don’t. So if I choose not to try your recommendation, please understand I am doing so with intention. While it may not be the right fit for me, I love to add new things to my toolbox so I can share with others.

If you’re interested in the details of my health, what my focus is, and how my family and I have been coping, please take the time to sit and talk with me. I love sharing my knowledge and we very much appreciate the opportunity to share our journey.

Thank you for caring – I am truly grateful.
