Hello my name is Micheala, I am from Cedar Rapids Iowa and I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I was put on a transplant list after I was admitted to intensive care and in the hospital for six weeks and almost died due to a septic infection. I was coded, given my last rights and my children were told I had under two hours to live. The doctors said that I was at peace and comfortable and that they should just let me go however, my children didn’t give up on me and had the doctors do a last ditch effort of a dialysis treatment and here I am today. I’d like to let you know that I had a meld score of 25 to under 11 which means I no longer am in need of a transplant.
I woke up one day and decided that the liver is the only organ in the body that can regenerate and why can’t mine so I got into Mindfulness and started researching ways to cure my body and get healthy from the inside instead of just relying on pills to treat the symptoms. I changed to healthy ways of living and my numbers are now at a normal level and actually my cholesterol and numbers are so much better than even when I was in high school and I’m 50 years old. I believe that I had a digestive problem with leaky gut symptoms. when you get chronically ill and that America is living with these horrible horrible disease and not knowing it which is creating other problems in their bodies and they don’t understand because of the reason and I really believe that the supplements, probiotics and good essential vitamins and minerals and supplements are what will help you get on the right track.
I bought a filtered picture from Amazon that filters out in purities and replaces it with essential minerals. The water tasted so fresh that I don’t even drink pop anymore and I was drinking about a 12 pack a day. Another thing that happened to me is that once these Vitamin started kicking in and I started feeling healthier I all of a sudden put down cigarettes and I didn’t try to quit at all I know I was supposed to but it was too hard and I just didn’t do it and always had an excuse. All of a sudden my body felt so healthy that I just have not wanted to smoke. I believe that this is to do with being healthy and feeling great every day like I haven’t in years since my youth youth.
See. I believe everybody has it within themselves to cure themselves in someway shape or form at least extend their life. I’m not saying that I’m cured by any means anything could happen any day and I am aware of that. Cirrhosis is a horrible disease however I am going to do my best to continue living and help other people to do the same.
In fact I’ve decided to become a holistic health and wellness coach and I’m starting classes for that. I have a BA and so I’ve taken all the pre-Rex’s I need to and I’m very very very excited about helping other people find and strengthen the core being of their bodies and their soul with mindfulness. I wish I knew about mindfulness when I was a young girl. I really don’t believe I’d be going through when I’m going to now if I had it in my life. There’s a lot more to the story of how I ended up in the path of cirrhosis and is absolutely horrible. I don’t want to go into that it’s very personal and it something that I had to fight. There is obviously a good reason for me to be here and be alive and I know that it’s to help other people and to give them hope because I had no hope and I had to do this all by myself and find a strength in myself because the doctors weren’t helping me; nobody was helping me it had to come from within!
Thank you for listening I know this is long, good luck to all, Micheala
