This page used to be my anonymous journal, until I found my courage. Living in South Africa, many women are subservient and don't realise the courage it takes to live here.
Between myself, my second estranged husband - Zelko & my 3 children, we lost 50kg collectively, healed cancer (NED), had unnecessary procedures in hospital, reversed the onset of type 2 diabetes, IBS, high blood pressure, faced and dealt with mental illness, addressed addiction & most importantly - I am off most of my prescription medication. I'm also definitely reversing all Fibromyalgia & Osteoarthritis symptoms. Our little family is whole and well again. Since my youngest son and I have taken refuge in the healing coastal town of Hermanus, where the air is known as champagne air, he has picked up 6kg because the whale coast is a plethora of free exquisite and healthy activities that are every childs dream.
After being almost completely bedridden for two years & in constant chronic pain for most of my life, I'm up & about, occasionally I have the odd #flareup #brainfog #musclepain #burningtongue (metal taste) and #fatigue but my moments are few and far between, I have an overwhelming excitement for the future now, something I never thought would ever be possible.
I have also took over my daughter's business and rebranded Alexandra's Healthy & Delicious to Everything Healthy, to spread the word to so many others who suffer with chronic illness, depression, anxiety and chronic pain. Unfortunately after many years of domestic violence, I moved to the Cape in August 2020 and was forced to rebrand once again due my online access & social media accounts being blocked out of spite. We have rebranded once again to Health Intelligence SA. I will continue my journey of living my quest for a healthier lifestyle as it is full of so much reward. Eating healthy meals, sharing recipes and discovering the healing talents of so many, is an act of love and service that I want to share. Many people suffer from depression because of poor gut health, metaphysical issues and bad choices.
The one product that has made my skin glow, healed my Irritable Bowel Syndrome #IBS and helped me lose weight is definitely our perfected 35 - 40 hour, slowly roasted and cooked, grain-fed, free-range and organic “Liquid Gold” Thai bone & Chicken broth. The proof is in the pudding, not only have I changed my life, I have changed the lives and wellness of many others who have incorporated our healing bone broths (as endorsed & recommended by a medical doctor, & also our specially formulated homemade, natural & organic products for various ailments, to their daily diet. I have a lot of clients with chronic pain, illness & disease, some who are in palliative care and even clients who use it for competitive sports to get all the nutrients and aid with muscle repair! It is a natural remedy that provides instant solutions!
So many people think that being healthy is starvation & deprivation. We have discovered food that is so delicious and exciting to savour, the fact that it is guilt free makes it a whole day experience of pure delight. We often share our healthy recipes on our Health Intelligence page @healthyintelligencesa and our #healthintelligence group page @cradleofkindhumans
I could probably have paid my house off with the amount of money spent on doctors, medicine, hospitals & various other therapies. I have reversed most of symptoms by healing Fibro holistically through a leptin resistant specially formulated (sugar, fat & lactose free) diet, daily meditation, yoga, mindfulness practices, self help TedTalks, lots of rest, #meditention for children to teach them mindfulness, along with me providing bereavement counseling.
Too many of my years were wasted away in pain and severe depression (I now call - deep rest - spiritual amnesia). Now I am like a different person and nobody can believe the change. My only sadness now is that I never discovered this years ago. I still struggle with finding my words in conversation, forgetfulness, muscle aches, fibro fog and joint pain which I am sure is the Osteoarthritis. Under the gentle care of my incredible GP, Doctor Richard Albrecht, who has monitored, assisted and guided me to this healthier lifestyle, I am definitely on the right track. How many doctors do you know that prescribe healthy ingredients to cure the cause and not the symptoms?
I'm definitely going to further explore holistic neurological treatments such as Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Acupressure, understanding the world of Ayurvedic healing systems and I aim to lengthen and improve the quality of my life. After all the medication I have been prescribed, most of which gave me nothing but awful side effects which made me even sicker.
As a Fibromyalgia Warrior - few of the Fibromyalgia & chronic pain clients that I have worked with, are extremely sensitive humans, empaths, who are selfless and always put everyone before themselves. I have had Fibromyalgia since my teens, triggered by childhood trauma in an abusive home, a divorce, a violent r**e at 13 years old & grief and ongoing domestic violence for 13 years. My healing began when I started to delve into this pain and unpack it.
After watching a documentary called “The Keepers” on Netflix in 2017, a deep feeling or distant memory was triggered inside of me and I started a journal, documenting my feelings. I am so pleased that I did because it would be so difficult to speak of a pain that is now a distant memory, since I have healed so much of my trauma. Most of my holistic healing and writing is on my personal page called https://www.facebook.com/healthyyousa - my #mentalfitness page Sacred Energy Exchanges.
While successfully guiding & assisting a few individuals with various ailments, myself being mis-diagnosed since my teens. I've made the courageous decision to share my story, to show how far I have come, in the hope of helping others who are suffering in silence like I used to.
So many people want to be thinner, the aim for us is to be healthier. I'm still struggling with a few deep-seated issues & occasionally make bad choices but I have learnt to quickly forgive myself, put my new boundaries back in place, get back up & start again.
Because of a healthier lifestyle, my recovery loops are quicker & my pain is not so severe anymore. I'm able to lift my arms, put on my bra & wash my own hair again. I came to understand that fear, shame & guilt were strangling me, causing my body to scream in pain for help. I understood that once i became a whole sexual being, I would once again be a whole human being. When I am in pain, am feeling depressed or experiencing a #flareup and what has now become my new lifestyle, I have a daily ritual, practices, plan & amazing products that sort me out... healing is an ongoing journey.
We are here to also experience joy, laughter, or***ms and pure bliss!
My kids will never worry why mommy is so sad all the time. I was never depressed, I was just living an unhealthy life and I was stuck in a neural pathway maze, that I was so lost in, that I had no idea how to get out of. I went with the flow and found so many mentors, guides, friends and lessons to mindfully guide me, always coming from a place of love, of self acceptance, coming to understanding that SELF LOVE is the key to being whole.
These pics on my timeline are still my before pics as I still have a long way to go and so many people to encourage and motivate to heal themselves and find their own mentors that deeply RESONATE with them, as there are so many out there who have done the work already.
I will share my story of changing negative mindsets, healing the minds & bodies of my loved ones and the special people who committed their lives to healing others, my loving mentors and friends.
I would love you to engage with me & share your thoughts & experiences too, "YOU ARE NOT ALONE". We can do this together!
While I am changing my live for the better, maybe you can change yours too! Perhaps we can find even more specialists to assist us on this holistic journey, to eventually eradicate Fibromyalgia, CFS and chronic pain. 2019 is the year I began my new life of excitement for each day, to a future of discovery - I believe this is just the beginning and that thought thrills me.
Over the last 4 years, I have come to understand and know through extensive research with help from so many sources locally and internationally, that Fibromyalgia is a dis-ease of the spirit. I think of it as Super-Woman Syndrome or soul sickness, and self-love is its message.
You are not your body. You are spirit. Your body carries the messages from your spirit.
Uncover the source of your emotional/spiritual pain and you will no longer need the messages of the physical pain. Take your power back and heal whatever causes your pain and remove all toxic people, situations, thought processes and behaviours. This take immense courage and the benefits are incredible.
All the information you need is all out there - waiting to resonate just with you for healing.
The emotional pain that comes with Fibromyalgia are feelings of :
- Feeling completely alone with total despair
- Feelings of hopelessness - "there is is just no use"
- Completely done trying to prove your worth
- Low self-worth & self-esteem
- You have lost the will to live
The universe only says yes - what questions are you asking?
What are your goals?
Where do you see yourself in one month, five years or even in 20 years?
If you don't have an answer to this, then you are already there.
If you are ready, it is time to dive into your pain, delve into the depths of your spirit, your deep - rest (depressed / spiritual amnesia) is over.
Come along and find your self, with so much love and good intention, just like I did.
Our journey of self love and healing has begun...
Here's to a healthier, sexier and happier you ❤
With so much love
Wanita
