You are not your illness!

Chronic Illnesses_

Chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases are often created from the inability of the body to cope with repeated assault of a perceived attacker or invader.

An autoimmune disease begins when the body confuses substance that penetrates the body with an organ or substance that is integral to the body and then generates antibodies to combat it and continues to fight the organ or substance with greater resistance. This circular reaction creates various complex symptoms. Once the body starts attacking itself, allopathic (conventional) medicine cannot do much to cure it and the only course of action is to relieve the symptoms. Because it does not actually cure the disease or remove the trigger, the body continues to attack itself and worsens its response. Then, other autoimmune diseases or chronic diseases emerge on top of the primary disease. Ordinary, allopathic medicine will try to relieve symptoms again and the vicious circle continues.

Chronic illness usually begins with a repeated course of inflammation. The body identifies a problem and starts a healthy inflammatory process as cells of the immune system are produced to heal the damage. The healing process begins in the form of inflammation and after the immune cells fix the disfunction and clear the dead cells, the body stops the production of immune cells and returns to balance. In a situation in which the body experiences the same problem over and over again or in a situation in which it fails to heal itself, a chronic illness begins. The body is constantly in a state of inflammation in an attempt to extinguish the fire. Drugs cannot cure chronic illnesses since the inflammation is the body’s natural way of dealing with the disruption. Symptoms can be mitigated, but usually there is a price to pay in another system of the body.

The right way to treat diseases of this type is from within. Only by searching for the causes of imbalance and then fixing them, it is possible to begin the body’s healing process.

And that's where I come in (and preferably sooner than later). I would love to work with you to find the root of your distress and heal it. How do we do that? Examine the three pillars on which the health is based: nutrition, lifestyle and environment. We will check for deficiencies, sensitivities and imbalance, and find their sources. At the same time, I will recommend natural remedies that will help relieve the symptoms until your body fixes itself. This is a personalized approach that suites each client to their specific condition.

Sometimes relief and healing come quickly, and other times it is a process which takes time (as you did not become sick in one day — the body needs time to restore itself to balance), but with a meticulous and precise process we will have you stronger and healthier than ever!
