Why We Don't Heal From Autoimmune Disease
If you know my story you know the miracle that has taken place in my body.
Chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune crisis, and multiple autoimmune disease diagnosis were my reality as my ability to work, pursue my dreams, and enjoy time with friends faded away in front of my eyes.
Some say I shouldn’t be this well. Medical professionals declared I would live with symptoms of autoimmune disease my entire life, and they would likely progress.
“My body was attacking itself” according to experts and this was just my prognosis. However, something inside me said forget that noise and started searching for alternative answers. I took my power back from autoimmune disease and said I will find a way to rise above this.
Had I played the victim and accepted my diagnosis as my prognosis, I would literally not be in this amazingly well state telling you my story. So why did I heal, and heal very quickly at that, yet others with the very same conditions as me never resolve their symptoms?
Living with autoimmune disease is like training for the Olympics, you have to be dedicated in order to heal.
As hard, miserable, depleting, exhausting, and downright depressing autoimmune disease is you cannot stay in victimhood if you want your life back. Any person suffering from chronic illness has every right in the world to feel victimized! I totally get it. You feel robbed of your body, your mind, and your life. But at what point are you going to declare war against the disease and take YOUR power back? That’s where it starts, with the belief that your body can heal, you want to heal, and the necessary next steps will begin to attract your way.
The more I work with clients and see major breakthroughs, the more I see commonalities in barriers to healing and shifts that need to occur before the person experiences their shift in healing.
That is part of my story as well, there was a shift in my belief, followed by a shift during powerful healing prayer that I felt on the inside before my health began to improve on the outside. Healing is our BIRTH RIGHT. I am made with the very same kind of cells by the very same creator as you, there’s no reason your body can’t heal!
Let’s cut to the chase and outline the most common barriers to healing autoimmune disease...
Let me first ask you a question, what is worse? Eating in a new way to heal your body and depriving yourself of crappy food or depriving yourself of quality of life?
I truly believe those with autoimmune disease are called to be strong leaders that show others the way we’re eating, thinking, and living are not serving any of us, and we’re the ones called to rise above this lifestyle to pave a way for our loved ones. We easily fall into the misinformation trap of fad diets and miracle drugs/supplements that will magically heal our ailments and continue to look outside of ourselves for solutions. When in reality the medicine is waiting wayside for us every single day. Food is our medicine and our thoughts will heal our body!
There is a ton of fear when beginning a healing protocol to abandon our most beloved comfort foods and cling to a new way of nourishing our bodies. We fear: will the sacrifice be worth it, will the process be painful, and will I miss out on something greater?
Unwillingness to give up foods that are feeding the pathogens causing are disease in the NUMBER ONE REASON I find people are not reaching the health and vitality they so crave for their lives. Also very common on this very same thread is we find the right healing protocol and don’t stick with it for long enough. Healing takes time! It’s scary to stick with something before seeing immediate results. I’ve been there. It was a very spiritual path for me. I can distinctly remember when, through my spirit, I heard “throw your supplements in the trash and use food.” I was like “the heck, how is that going to work?”. I had also received the notion to stop seeing all my doctors and just “trust.” So that is what I did, apprehensively.
I trashed my 16 bottles of supplements, dusted off my juicer, and began pouring over new information I had not considered before. The most amazing part of this journey was I was faithfully led to the right information that would heal me step by step, day by day. When I trashed the supplements and cancelled the doctors appointments (who weren’t giving me real answers anyways) I did not have the road map laid out in front of me, and for this type A planning personality that was soo hard! However, that is the most beautiful part of my journey and fuels my faith for the challenges I encounter today.
Another reason we don’t heal our autoimmunity, we don’t believe we are worthy of abundant health and deep healing! This often comes from stored emotional trauma and need for deep healing. In my own journey my physical being healed leaps and bounds before I hit a plateau and realized my emotional and mental health were my hindrances to healing. Our health is a pyramid with physical at the root, supporting our emotional, mental, and spiritual health. The way we heal, in whichever order, can look vastly different per the individual. What is important is to start with the foundation, the physical, then work with an experienced professional healer to help you identify where the root cause continues to lie.
Lastly, there is an old crappy paradigm so many of us have been led to believe and it is that “the body is attacking itself”, “your genetics are the cause of your illness”, and “you’re responsible for this disease.” We’re not just physical beings and we cannot only address the physical. There is a spiritual, emotional, and mental root problem at play here as well and this old crappy paradigm is like fuel to fire disease in our psyche which directly affects our health by controlling the chemistry of our blood (more on that HERE)
Fear actually suppresses the immune system and when we are in a state of fear or lack because we have been told the wrong dang thing about what actually causes autoimmune disease (that answer available HERE) our power to heal ourselves is suppressed and we become emotionally depressed. I cannot separate the spiritual from the physical, I truly believe disease is the work of darkness in our fallen world. However, we are divinely loved beings that deserve the truth and to live in the light! That is why you’re reading this now, because the creator of our universe wants you to have the information that will heal your body, that has healed countless others!
We are spirit in body not, not a body with a spirit. Once we begin to address our health care under this notion that can encompass the holistic approach truly needed to heal the body. This illness is meant to bless you and be a teacher on your path to live better, not run your life and rule you.
Do you know someone who has been struggling with autoimmune disease or chronic illness for a very long time, has seen every specialist yet has no answers? I would like you to send them this or have them reach out to me. I truly believe there is no person beyond healing. I have seen the most miraculous stories before my very eyes. Believe in the body’s ability to heal, and support the body with what it needs to do it’s innate work. It is really that simple.
