A few weeks after my twenty first birthday I was experiencing severe pain in my abdomen getting to the point where I could barely stand up. One night I was feeling extremely dizzy and the pain kept getting worse and worse. I ended up going to the emergency room to see what was going on, after getting test ran and an ultrasound the doctor came into the room and let me know what she found. I was told I have a large growth in my uterus and they would have to set me up with an appointment to look into it further. After five hours in the ER I was sent home with pain killers and left unsure of what was going to happen next.

 

The next few days before my checkup appointment my condition started getting even worse. I was throwing up nonstop, couldn’t eat or sleep, the pain was so bad I couldn’t stand up or walk around.  I went in for my follow up appointment a few days later. My doctor took another ultra sound and prescribed me more pain pills and said to come back in a week to see if anything has changed also giving me a prescription to see if we could shrink the growth. Over the next few weeks my condition took a turn for the worse in a month’s time I had lost thirty pounds from throwing up and not being able to eat, I was in too much pain to work, my eyes were blood shot, and I had red dots all over my body. I remember waking up one morning with my pillow and face covered in blood, I ran to the bathroom and blood was squirting out of my noise it took over an hour for the bleeding to finally stop. I was in tears and horrified because the women I looked at in the mirror was not the happy healthy woman I used to be.

 

 I went in for another appointment and my doctor said the growth was not getting any better and suggested doing surgery; we set up a date to have the growth removed and also test it for cancer but unfortunately I would have to wait two months. My stomach was pushed out like a balloon because the growth was getting so big and causing a lot of swelling. 

 

The time finally came and I could not have been more excited to get this thing out of me and get my life back. I went in for my pre-op a few days before surgery to check my vitals and get some blood test ran.  I remember getting a call the night before I was supposed to go in for surgery,It was my doctor she said my blood count was so low that if they were to operate I would bleed to death so they had cancelled my surgery. After trying hard to convince them I didn’t care about the risk I wanted this monster out of me ,I hung up the phone and cried for hours I was so upset and just wanted to give up. All doctors refused to operate me because they knew there wasn’t a chance at all they could perform the surgery without me bleeding out and my survival rate was slim to none

 

A few days past and I went and spoke with my doctor and she took my blood count again and it had dropped even lower. When I was thirteen I was diagnosed with a blood disease called Von Willebrands which means my body is unable to produce clotting factors. I was internally bleeding and my capillaries were breaking which is why I was covered in red spots and having nose bleeds. My doctor said there was no way a doctor would risk operating on me and then referred me to a blood specialist.

 

Another month had past and my medical bills had reached $60,000 I had given up all hope going to all these appointments and all they did was give me pain pills which made me feel like a zombie and more sick and also lowered my blood count more and more.  I went to see a hematologist and was shocked at how I was treated. They brought in two doctors and literally interrogated me asking me if I was on drugs and how much I drank because of the condition I was in and my appearance. I had never done a drug (my perspective of drug at the time) in my life and rarely ever drank.  After running more test I came in for a second appointment a week later they said my blood count was so low that if I didn’t get it back up I was not going to make it another month. I was in complete shock never have I been told how long I have to live. They brought in another doctor and both them told me to go home and get comfortable and not to work, leave the house, drive or do anything but bed rest because even the slightest bump would be the end of me. I was horrified at the fact they basically told me to go home and die. I went home and cried for hours and hours and didn't tell a single soul what I had just went through.

 

I woke up the next morning with a clear mind and decided enough is enough if the doctors weren’t going to help me then I had no choice but to do everything in my power to help myself. I pulled up the laptop and spent all day researching natural cures for tumors and my blood condition. I went to my local farmers market: I bought all organic food, dandelion root and tumeric after studying its natural healing abilities. After only two weeks I already started feeling better I completely rid myself of pain killers and drugs and was doing all natural remedies. My diet and herbs helped shrink my tumor tremendously and taking dandelion root helped purify my blood and got my count back up to a normal level. Months later I went to retest and was told I had no trace of Von Willebrands in my system. I was so happy and feeling so blessed that I was given another chance at life. I had to live with a tumor growing inside me for 5 months and a blood disease spiraling out of control and no doctor could help me only kill me faster by giving me pain meds. Who would have thought that it would have been so easy to cure myself?

I got rid of my tumor and cured my blood disease that is said to be genetic and un curable. To this day I have been retested 5 times and still no trace of it in my system and no tumor regrowth.

 

After all this I decided to live an all-natural life and never turn back. I truly believe anyone can heal you just have to want it bad enough and be willing to make changes. You can sit there and feed yourself with pills and get false hope from doctors or you can heal the way the body was meant to, through nature. I hope I can reach out to others and help them reach their goals into being healthy and riding their bodies free from illnesses and toxins. I truly believe everything in life happens for a reason, going through this experience I can now teach others how to self heal and change their lives for the better.
