Theresa's interview
How did all start?
It started when I was a baby with cough. And my pediatrician gave me antibiotics. My cough never went away, so he continue to give me antibiotics. Until my mother changed my pediatrician.
Do you already have a diagnosis? How long did it take you to get it?
And the new pediatrician diagnosed that I had cow's milk allergy the whole time. By that time, I had been badly "damaged" by overdose of antibiotics for maybe several months, and adrenal condition in bad shape due to unaddressed allergy doubled by killed probiotics to further weaken my condition. And I was only a baby. So, I started to have asthma, sore throat a lot, nervous conditions, and gut issue. Absent mindedess, nervouseness, poor energy, lots of inhalant allergies, coughs. And each time my mother would bring me to doctor for check up, the doctor would find nothing wrong with me. How the candida was able to hide.
For what medical specialties have you been treated? What has been the most useful specialty for your?
Asthma, allergies, sore throats, hypoglycemia, candidiasis, metal toxicity, electrohypersensitivity
What has been the most useful thing for you so far?
I guess if I could be able to be away from electromagnetic fields and clean air and more relaxed condition
What have been your biggest difficulties?
stressful conditions and being indoors which I am at present stuck with.
How has your social and family environment reacted? Have your social or family relationships changed?
My own biological family could not support nor believe what I was doing. They even avoided me thinking I was a psychological wreck. Only my husband supported me and one of my sibling. Of course my two daughters believed me.
What things have you stopped doing?
I have stopped working outside except in my own home. I have stopped joining group socials as they stress me up. I find it so hard to take an international flight after winter season as I am in poor health condition.
What do you think about the future?
I live from day to day trusting in God and taking my cross and offering it to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Each day gives me new hope.
So far, which years have been the best years in your life? What have you done during them?
About 27 ago when I was 33 years old. I had done water fasting. And I was not old yet and therefore had a break from digesting food. I was not hypoglycemic then. I was married and my children were two daughters and they were in their 7 and 4 years old and were so bubbly.
What would you like to do if you didn’t have your condition?
I don't know!!! I had been sickly since a a baby. I realized after water fasting, how bubbly and smart I could be. Maybe a naturopathic doctor!!! To help other people become the best they can be.
If you had to describe your life in a sentence, what would it be?
My life is a series of real struggles!!! I am very misunderstood. But life is exciting after one jumps from one triumph to another And each time they are a testimony of God's love and miracle in our lives.
Finally, what advice would you give to a person in a similar situation?
To always trust in God's plan for our lives. We all have each a mission from God and nothing is a coincidence. Live the best of each moment God gives us. And continue to ask, thank, and trust and adore our God.
