How Do You View Your Health: Expense or Investment (Part 2) | Sheila Meyer


**Updated 1/2/2023**

Many times it takes a health event .... heart attack, diabetes, cancer .... to cause a person to stand-up and take notice of their health.

Researchers say Alzeimer's actually starts about 30 years before symptoms start to display.  Think about autoimmune diseases.  Most do not appear overnight.  Rather it is a slow progression of worsening symptoms that could take years to diagnose .... symptoms that start with "normal", every day things like:
  • colds
  • rashes
  • indigestion
Eventually, however, these symptoms start occurring more frequently and more severely.

So, think about it ..... is it ever too early to invest in your health?  It is easy to sacrifice healthcare when there is no evident danger or problems staring you in the face.  Hey, I've been there and done that.  And, sometimes, the money just isn't there.  

Then, Lyme's hit me this summer.  I knew the consequences of not being treated .... the possibility of it becoming a chronic condition .... another autoimmune disease.  I did not want that so I searched for a naturopathic doctor who was knowledgable about Lyme's.  It was hard to swallow the thousands of dollars I had to fork out up-front.  However, I have to honestly say it was worth it.  Very thorough lab tests were completed and I was able to learn a lot about my health....good areas and bad.  I now also have some excellent health markers to compare for future changes in my health.  

How much are you willing to pay for the latest Apple technology?  The latest iPad Pro costs $1400.  Averaged out over 30 months that is approximately $50 per month. Then, you will be ready for a new one.

How much are you willing to pay for a longer, healthier, happy life?  The cost of my Lyme's and overall health assessment of 9 months cost me approximately $90 per month when averaged over 30 months.  I chose the natural route. That is just $3 per day.  Some people pay more than that for a cup of coffee every day. After 9 months my Lyme's test came back "negative".  This "investment" was worth it to me to prevent the "Lyme's" infection from becoming chronic and controlling my life. How much better that I have been able to successfully control Lyme's. 

So, how much are you willing to pay for a longer, healthier, happier life .... $50, $100, $200 per month?
The point is to start some place.  Do not get all caught up with the overwhelm .... the "have to do it all or nothing" overwhelm.

My Freedom Journey

 
People, including doctors, thought we were crazy...all in our heads.  After all, how could normal, every day household and personal product smells affect your ability to function, to cause you to be incoherent and feel shaky inside, to have an emotional break-down?  Inside we were dying.  Outside we appeared normal. 
Fragrances were, and are, part of every day, normal life.....candles, laundry, cleaning, perfumes.  Everyone and their neighbor used them.  For us, we either had to isolate ourselves or suffer the following day or two with a toxic hangover.  Isolation is never a good option, especially with children.  During the summer it was impossible to go outside without inhaling someone's laundry or the recent lawn product application.  My husband was so bad one summer that he could eat constantly and, yet, still lose weight.  Every month I would get a sinus infection and/or chest congestion. 
Then came the food sensitivities and autoimmune disorders.  How could food cause my ears to be red and hot, my cheeks to flush, and cause my entire body to break out multiple times in a horrendous, red, itchy, inflamed rash only to burn when scratched and ooze yellow, sticky fluid?  Imagine, every day having gauze pads over the majority of your body under your clothes and hoping the rash doesn't drain so much that it soaks through your clothes.  It would take months to disappear.  People said "just get a cortisone/steroid shot" for relief.  They could not understand why that was not my choice. 
By discovering and eliminating my many triggers, finding a new, non-toxic way to support my immune system, my liver, and my thyroid, I have not had a major skin breakout for about 3 yrs and have been able to manage my autoimmune disorders without the use of standard medication. 
I finally found a way to acquire "Freedom from Toxins", "Freedom to Achieve Wellness", and "Freedom to Choose".
