My
family and I have suffered for years with allergies, autoimmune
reactions and diseases. I have family and a network of friends that are
medical professionals. I believe myself to be a bit of a hybrid with
traditional and alternative medicine beliefs. I feel they are both
needed or one is better based on each situation and set of
circumstances. It is up to you to decide how to blend the two
approaches to design your personal healthcare team.
In 2013, our
household went into complete turmoil. My son and I experienced a
vaccine injury. The ongoing story in our home is I left the hospital
with a baby, one arm and a c-section. The vaccine had torn my rotator
cuff in 4 places, including one off the bone. This injection blew out
my right shoulder, ended up creating issues on my left shoulder, and I
have had autoimmune issues from the vaccine itself. I successfully went
through the program with a vaccine attorney. This experience tested
my ability to navigate the traditional and alternative networks. We
were very ill and my body was shutting down. I went from not needing an
inhaler to taking many types of asthma and allergy medications. I had
several reactions that took me to urgent care and the ER weekly or
sometimes monthly. My son was in the same situation.
Through my
journey, I have also found that it would have been extremely beneficial
to have someone help connect me to the medical professionals I needed.
It would have saved me time and money reducing unnecessary stress. I
also would have loved to have a way to quickly identify ingredients that
may be an allergy or autoimmune trigger. Shopping quickly became time
consuming and depressing. I wanted a way to search for products that
contain specific ingredients. After all, who is a master at reading
labels? I have worked with a great team to design a software program to
assist in the label reading process. My goal is to help people with
identifying allergies or autoimmune triggers and feel more comfortable
knowing those in your life will feel more confident with you.
I
also have struggled financially to the point where we had to make many
choices that were difficult. I watch others having the same
difficulty. My mission is to take a percentage of my profits and go
full circle with giving back. I want to help people with funds for the
first initial deposit or appointment that is needed to get them
healthy. I was very fortunate to be able to liquidate assets to
continue our care plans in order to heal. In the end, I am hoping to
reduce financial, emotional, and physical stress during the healing
process for others.
