You have probably been brought up to appreciate operations, your physician and that medicines they give you and surgery they perform is the answer to any of your problems. When we do this, however, we are indicating to our bodies that it isn’t important to us and that we are not giving our own bodies the time to heal naturally. If we look at the first symptoms we get and treat these, then this will be a good start in recovery. We can treat ourselves early with natural remedies and often cure a number of health related issues. You will recognise that your body will tell you the truth, which will come out in your own emotions and challenges.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, you may recognise that your own emotional pain as a “physical art form,” and that it will transform before you and your body will heal a devastating disease. Personally and by the age of 35, I felt comfortable in my new clothes, home and car. Many different companies hired me to help them with their business problems, and I would normally work at least 14 hours a day.

However, one day came and it was all over. I was with a medical specialist who diagnosed me with rosacea – an incurable, deforming, disfiguring facial skin disease. By treating myself as a machine that would continue non-stop had caught up with me. I would see no mercy from the disease as it continued to worsen over the next 5 years. All of my financial resources were spent going to medical specialists and naturopathic practitioners – I wanted to understand how my own immune system could heal and repair my own body.

I believed in the body being in its own environment and chose not to take any form of medication. After I had spoken to over fifty doctors, I still found myself searching for the answers. I became determined in proving that there was something that could help me heal myself naturally, but after all this time I maybe doubted myself.

By age 42 my face was a bright, fire engine red, raw and inflamed, and I lanced boils daily. I loss a major part of my eyesight and was no longer able to read or drive. All my dreams of having a good life, leadership, and travel appeared to be over. I realized why people with so much internal pain ended their lives or took up addictions.

In the seventh year I met a Korean doctor who diagnosed me differently from all the others. The disease, he believed, wasn’t just on my face. My natural biological rhythms were no longer in harmony, and my face was a direct reflection of my being traumatized from emotional fear and stressed-filled organs. He noticed other symptoms of exhaustion including an internal, uncomfortable quiver and a knot in my stomach, cold hands and feet, varied body temperature, and shallow breathing with chest pains. My body felt lifeless and frail. He said I must find peace within, whatever the price. I hadn’t experienced peace or joy for years!

I started emotional therapy, first addressing the fears that had consumed me since my diagnoses, and then going further back into my past. I began to face my work addiction (workaholic: one who works often while physically exhausted and emotionally empty.) Denying stress and personal needs had become a way of life. My false feeling of worthiness and internal need to always be needed had pushed this addiction forward. I had a compulsion to stay busy and numb out, serving out of exhaustion had caused me to feel angry and resentful at my own behavior. I had served others for years at my own expense until my body as my friend stopped me.

I shared my story for a number of years with other people, and I had cried and tried to release some of the pent-up emotion inside, and I also became heavily involved with the local community. I came across a miracle that I healed my body naturally and without taking any medication, which meant my scars disappeared and my eye sight returned to normal. I followed a healthy diet and exercise regularly which helped my body in the transformation – something that we should all trust in ourselves.
