... and so it begins.

Your body is trying to heal. In order for that to happen, you need to give it what it needs. I'm going to try to explain the ways this happens as best as I can.

I'm going to take this first post to explain my mentality. We live in a society of band-aids and patch-ups. We continually push on, repeating the same patterns over and over, never stopping to question how they began in the first place. Bringing these things to light, I think, is the essence of healing.

I'm tired of people going around, pretending they know they're talking about, but never doing the work required to do so. I have done so to the best of my ability, and I am going to share it with you all.

I'm going to start this by explaining a portion of my journey. I nearly died about a year ago. My pancreas shut down, my liver failed, and my brain swelled into my spinal cord. I had an enteric infection that caused me to have diarrhea until my gut literally lost the ability to make digestive enzymes, bile, or even to contract enough to push crap out. My hair and nails began to fall out, my skin peeled off, my lips dried up and literally fell off, and my consciousness lowered into a haze that I can only describe as the worst living hell imaginable. Not a single doctor could help me, nor could any acupuncturist, herbalist, or any so-called healer.

Several months in, I could only stay awake for about 30 minutes every 36 hours. It was at this point that I was confronted with a choice: either let go and die, or decide to live like I've never lived before.

I decided to live.

From here, the story is more than I can transpose to words on this site. I can only hope to convey what I have learned in a way that can inspire and inform others to do what I have done; healed myself.

My body is nearly back to where it was before the illness, however it has reorganized itself into a different form than before. I am thinner, taller, and I am going to say "more harmonious."

This is the essence of what I have learned; give the body what it needs, take away what it doesn't, open yourself to the experiences required along the way, and you shall heal.

With that, so begins the project of this website. I can only imagine what this will grow into. Part of that will be up to all of you that read this. I only ask that you all support me in this effort as I attempt to bring out the information that is so direly needed by so many of us. Let's do it for the greatest good of us all.
