My journey to good health has been a long and painful one. I’ll keep this brief, so as to not lose people in the details. Essentially, due to a variety of social, personal and dietary related issues my health plummeted from one that was relatively normal in my early teens to sickness that was almost life threatening by the time i left school.
My first awareness of how bad my health had become was when i had what could only be described as a “breakdown” at 18 years of age. I was only a few months in to the workforce and almost overnight my body broke down after years of chronic stress, anxiety, poor diet and poor sleep.
For months i could barely get out of bed, after only sleeping a few hours of totally rejuvenating rest. Thank God i was working for my parents, who understood there was something wrong with me. I could barely work more than 2-3 hours per day with them before being overcome with exhaustion and going home.
Blood tests revealed an incredibly low testosterone levels, an issue that would plague me for most of my 20’s. Consults with Perth’s top Endocrinologists did not reveal the root cause of the issue. Treatment consisted of being prescribed anti-depressants and the cause of my condition was noted as “an event of unknown origin”.
My family and i began to take control of my health, and with tweaks in my diet i began to slowly improve. However, during the course of my 20’s and trying to improve my health i would conservatively say i would have had another 2-3 breakdown’s that would take me a year or so to recover from, and any major setback in life could bring on another episode.
There were a variety of factors that contributed to this condition and likewise a variety of contributors that aided in my recovery. Some major contributors included the assistance for my sleep provided by Cedarwood Essential Oil that my sister Katie had given to me. The first night of it’s use i remember waking the next morning feeling like i had woken from a coma the sleep was that good! Disclaimer: Cedarwood does not actually help you sleep, but assists in calming your thoughts and internal chatter which then helps you fall - and then stay - asleep.
Another major contributor was Idaho Blue Spruce, the second half of the name of this Page. At a period where i was on the brink with my health yet again at about 27 years of age, my sister Katie also provided me with this bottle, and it’s effects were immediate. I felt so good that it was even noticed by workmates who noted that i walked with a lot more purpose, seemed happier and much more motivated. What a blessing!
Over the past couple of years i have continued to improve my health with the aid of a whole foods diet, essential oils, a reduction in heavy metal toxicity and chemical free living, fluoride-free water and more. The aim of this page is to help share the knowledge i have received and help others who struggle with similar issues. If there is any way i can help anyone with advice please feel free to get in touch with me via this page.
Regards
Nick.
