Gaining Back My Health

I really need to get back into blogging. I was thinking of going private, but for now will stay public.

I am going to use this to help me keep track of what I learn as I use natural ways of treating health issues, as well, hopefully, to keep track of our family experiences.

In 2009, I was spending over $700 from our family budget after the insurance paid their portion to buy the prescriptions that I needed for my rheumatoid arthritis. I was a drug called Enbrel, a drug to keep my immune system from developing antibodies to the Enbrel, and a couple of others that weren't very expensive. I was unable to work more than part time and there were days that is was hard to even keep up with that.

In May of that year I did the HCG diet. I was good and stuck to it. My husband noticed that I was not having him give me the shot of Enbrel as often and when I went 3 weeks without it he asked me about it. He did give me one last injection and it made feel worse. I realized that through diet and other methods I could take my health back and that the prescription companies and FDA allowances have taken from me.

Now I am not a stringent dieter. But I do use many alternative methods to have a better life. I don't eat rice, I eat minimal pasta, and I keep my refined sugar intake to a minimum (most days). I need to give up bread more, but when I make bread it is really, really good and I kinda of love it.

March of 2012 I was introduced to doTerra oils. If you haven't heard of them and you want to feel better in your life, check them out. I have learned that the prescriptions that the medical field gives us put a bandaid on the problem to cover up a symptom. It doesn't heal the body.

In Section 89 of the Doctrine and Covenants it talks to us about how to keep out bodies healthy. It specifically mentions the use of herbs to help us with our health. As I have used the herbs and other natural methods I have found better health and have lessened my health issues.

I am not totally cured, but I have a heck of a lot more life today that I did before 2009 and the doTerra products have made it even better. My bad days are more like a few bad hours.I have been using them to help others, too. I have been giving out a lot of samples and people call me back to ask more questions. I am hoping that someday they will be their own distributor. I kind of suck at customer service with getting products delivered. It's easier of they learn how to heal their own bodies and then order what they need. What I am impressed with is the amount of free stuff you get back when you order, renew your distributor status, etc.

So enough about the sales pitch. I just really love this stuff and wanted to get this out there for my record of WHY I chose natural health care and WHY I choose to be in charge of  my health and medical care.
