About Me

In 2007 I was on 17 medications and 40 pounds heavier and was miserable. Every time I went to another doctor I was handed another prescription. After doing some reading, when the next prescription was handed to me I threw it back at the doctor and said "I am not taking this and you do not know what you are talking about!" That was the first step on my road to health.

 

I went to my GP with a two page list of ailments in one hand the prescription list in the other and said "this is not normal for someone my age and it stops now." She asked me what I would like her to do since she was out of ideas. I gave her a list of blood tests which she ran plus a few of her own. That day, I started weaning myself off of all the meds including the psych meds I had been on for over 21 years. I then proceeded to go completely organic with my entire body. I stopped coloring my hair, changed food, body care products and cleaning products. It took a lot of research to find everything I wanted. My friends call me a crazed fanatic, however two years later all I take is my thyroid medication (natural as opposed to synthetic), lost 40 pounds and have no difficulty keeping it off. Let them whisper behind my back all they want but I am healthier than all of them put together. I do still have a few issues I am attempting to figure out holistically and eventually I will relieve them as well. It has been a long journey however well worth the effort!!! Hillary

 

P.S. I also put my cats on an organic diet and they lost weight naturally too.

Actually, I just red your story.  It makes a lot of sense to me.  I'll give it a try.

Hi Hillary.

Thank you for your interest.  I'd like to hear your story.  I do have a thyroid problem as well and I am taking 2 meds for it.  But I still need meds for my high cholesterol. Thanks for being a friend,

Ildy
