Imagine a life where EVERYTHING IS UNPREDICTABLE. You cannot plan a thing before when you do, you start to look forward to things, three out of four times it just doesn’t work because you get sick. Yes, that was my life.
And then I had kids. This unpredictability got even worse. Of course, every child gets sick once in a while, but combine it with my own bad health and you pretty much start to give up on things.
Well, I did not give up. I kept looking, testing, trying, studying. Over and over again. Most of the times, the results were non or minor. But finally – I am here to teach you everything I know, because I DID IT! I have my life where I can actually plan things. I can enjoy things. I can look forward to meeting friends, going on vacations, having fun and just LIVE MY LIFE!
Ever since I was a baby, I used to be sick very often. My absence rates were terribly high, I spent weeks in hospitals in preschool age. During school, my allergies were getting worse and overall health was not improving – I did not grow out of these colds and flus. I got less antibiotics, but had hundreds of minor viral infections. Most of my teenage years, I remember having frequent increased temperature, sore throat and not feeling well. Also my first asthma attack came at 13 y.o. and I ended up in the hospital – again.
At 14, I had another asthma attack and got an emergency spray to use so that my parents don’t need to call an ambulance if I have an attack. And then it happened: I had an asthma attack and used the spray. Suddenly, my heart was beating like crazy, I thought it would jump out of my body and I got so scared: That was exactly what my grandma described and she needed special heart medication for it! I tried to calm down and the next day went to the allergologist who gave me the medication describing what happened, and she answered:
“That is not possible what you are saying. We give exactly this spray to cardiac patients so you could not have experienced anything like this.”
I felt totally down. Was she telling me I was crazy? I knew I was not, I knew what happened and it scared the hell out of me! I went home and looked at the box the spray was packed in. There was a leaflet inside so for the first time, I actually read all the medical information. And there it was in side effects: Heart beating – fairly common. And later on – if you experience any of these, inform your doctor immediately.
That was a huge turning point of my life: I realized that I could not rely on doctors. They don’t know everything either, I have to look for ways to improve my health on my own. I have to review things I am told and not just believe it because they have the diploma. But I knew there had to be another way so I started my research.
There have been some minor successes but at the same time, my health got worse as I grew older. My sleeping was terrible. A very dramatic divorce did not make things any better. There were times I was truly exhausted and needed to rest. But resting and not sleeping is not enough. I went as far as testing antidepressants but again, the side effects were huge.
In June 2018, a friend from university called me to meet. We used to take kids on vacation together, but after my split-up, I rarely saw them. So I did not know that his 3rd child was disabled – I last saw him as a toddler.
He told me their story – how their youngest one was told to be slower and finally, at the age of 5, got really terrible diagnoses: ADHD, mentally retarded, dysphasia, cerebral palsy. Psychological age 2.5, ie., half of his physical age, and at around 9 years the development would stop. Now he was 3rd months into taking a new, test-based, nutritional approach and the boy was changing in front of everyone’s eyes.
Fast forward – he introduced to me what they were (now the whole family) doing and I saw a chance to improve our health too. I was hoping for a small improvement in our immunity. If only we (me!) were sick a little less!
I went all in. Our blood tests were terrible – what was the point in me studying all the nutrition approaches and trying to eat healthy when we had so bad results?! You can see my results here.
I know what it’s like to have nothing to look forward to.
I needed to cancel things I was looking forward to
because I would get sick so often.
I could change it, and so can you!
My youngest son was three and a half years old and in September, we had an appointment to get immune support pills based on his pneumonias. Blood tests confirmed a bad immune system.
He started supplementation at the end of July and on September 5th, the same doctor who prescribed the medication, considered him healthy and decided he would not need any medication. And he was so right! My boy became the healthiest, least absent boy in his kindergarten!
My 11 year old told me a month after supplementation, that he noticed all wounds (scratches, cuts) were healing faster. I was surprised, I did not know yet… A year later he had no more allergy/asthma symptoms and another year later we managed entirely without medication (he had state-of-art new medication every year, because he alway became resistant to it in a few weeks).
My daughter got calmer.
And me? Third month of supplementation, I scratched myself badly several times realizing that my nails were very strong (I had fragile split nails all my life until this point). At the same time, my sleep became really deep! I did not hear our youngest one when he came to our bed 😀 – I realized something was radically changing in my body.
Few months later, I realized that I was not getting a sore throat every time I felt cold outside. The intervals between my colds and flus were longer and longer.
The following summer, my pollen season was like never before! I could actually go out for a walk in the evening – something I could not do before.
My new life started 🙏
