| Depression and dysregulated Nervous System | I think the biggest thing was getting grounded, getting a sense of purpose, realizing I was not alone and really having a very warm, comfortable support board of care around my situation... After a lot of the damage that I've done to myself I realized that there was life behind this and yeah, it wasn't the end...I had multiple hours of life coaching in the program and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. Physically using natural sources basically we were able to calm my nervous system and get it down to a point where I wasn't jumpy, I wasn't doing the fight or fight… My depression has lifted to such a state that I don't feel like I'm needing to take antidepressants. I'll be talking to my medical doctor when I get back and see if he can get it to work together… |
| Childhood Asthma At three they recognized I had asthma, eczema and had incredible sensitivities. I spent most of my basically in elementary school etcetera. I was kind of isolated a bit because I was always sick, so we'd have all my inhalers at the office and I was hospitalized quite a bit. I was hospitalized right in my twenties a few times with asthma attacks. Again, to the mental aspect of being in a stressful situation from and then other times you know just being out camping and the campfire smoke comes into the tent and makes me know I was in the hospital… I have been taking still on Symbicort, still on Ventolin, taking Symbicort every morning around Christmas i was taking it twice in the morning, and twice at night. | After having the treatments and relaxing and being here for the two weeks I haven't taken my asthma meds for four or five days, almost a week now. I still have them and I because I've had asthma my whole life, I can monitor it and I won't let it get bad, but that's the first time ever and it just felt really nice to wake up and not have that be part of my routine and instead to be able to do a stretch, meditate and maybe do some yoga instead… My blood oxygen level was at 90, 97 and 96 so that's super high, but that is definitely managed that's like basically saying you don't have asthma. Now there still will be triggers, like I said going in my life, but I also have new tools and new concepts of how I can do carry this forward with me as well. |
| Eczema and Psoriasis I've had eczema all over my entire body and two psoriasis spots on my forehead. | My eczema has definitely been improved. It is not as flared. The whole irritation and the histamines in my body have calmed down. My whole body is not fighting it's my autoimmune system, it is not angry at me anymore. I don't have the psoriasis flared. I'm not scratching at night. Basically, the only reason my leg isn't perfectly clear right now is just the expelling of toxins through the skin. It makes the skin a little sensitive. If I could live this way, if I could live here for the next six months, I bet you I'd have absolutely no allergies, too. But getting the whole process started and getting the system cleaned out has been magical. |
| Diarrhea, food malabsorption, low energy, iron deficiency and pale skin colour. I haven’t had the greatest diet and had diarrhea quite regularly, as well good seafood wasn't getting absorbed. I was so low in now I believe it was B vitamins, but I was so low in my energy and I've known I've been low on iron for a long time, but I was just taking a supplement every once in a while. I had no idea how much those were affecting my energy or my brain fog or my ability to function. I was very pale, very pale when I got here. | Getting some proper nutrition information and having high-quality supplements supplied and put into my system, the difference in results with those was 3 days. I felt like getting up in the morning with no coffee, no stimulants and I’d never be more impressed… I haven't had diarrhea. I'm having absolutely not natural normal bowel movements now. I don’t have stomach cramping or anything. … It is not even more the energy but the kind of it: you feel more alive. So my entire body's been feeling more alive… The color my skin improved. I've got more color in my face. |
| Underweight. I had a concern about losing weight. | I saw the team has been able to keep me at the same weight. I think I put on half a pound and that was perfect for me. The food has been absolutely amazing. But basically the biggest thing was getting the nourishment back in healing the body, including the mind. |
| Permanent Knot in the Shoulder. I've had this knot in my shoulder for 25-30 years. I've done a million things throughout my life here but way back in the day I was working at a pretty popular bar and I would serve cocktails and I would have like a six-pack of beer up on one hand, and so I would move around tables and patrons like that. It ended up being that I have a permanent knot in my back where the entire bottom of my right shoulder has been where all my stress accumulates. And what happens is in a traditional massage is that often they try and push on it. I’d flinch and eventually could not have it touched. | After two treatments with a massage therapist here for the first time in my life my whole shoulder has absolutely relaxed. She took the information I gave and was actually able to relate Using interesting techniques and then the follow up that she did, for the first time my shoulder, actually, doesn't hurt, and I'm willing to have someone touch it. |
