Before my interest in natural health…

I was a chemical engineer. I managed various US agricultural chemical packaging facilities, coordinating the packaging and distribution of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides. I was “on the inside” and privy to decisions made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). When approval of one of our products was denied in California for causing cancer, our company reformulated (diluted) the product and resubmitted. We did not have to change the formulation in the other states. I saw that a cancer-causing product could be sold all across the USA and diluted only slightly for sale in California. I began to research EPA approvals of other chemicals that had been linked to cancer, birth defects, Parkinson’s, and other diseases.

I could plainly see that the laws in my country were not protecting the consumers nor the environment. This started my path to awakening and unsure what to do, I began paying more attention to food labels and buying organic produce.

Becoming a mom…

In my thirties, I exercised well, ate well, and had a healthy, happy lifestyle. When my husband and I decided to get pregnant, we put our trust in conventional doctors to ensure healthy pregnancies and children. I accepted every medical treatment they offered, including flu shots, RhoGAM injections, anti-nausea drugs (Zofran and Phenergan), Pitocin, and epidurals. My children received regular childhood injections and medications at every well-child visit. I began to notice that I was experiencing increasing fatigue, but even worse, my children were suffering new symptoms after each well-child visit. At first, these were crying, fevers, and rashes. Then, runny noses, ear infections, and gut issues. And finally, allergies, sleep, and behavioral issues. Our doctor described our symptoms as “normal reactions” to the injections, and prescribed suppressive medications such as Tylenol, steroid creams, allergy pills, Miralax, and multiple rounds of antibiotics.

As my children’s physical health deteriorated, I questioned my doctor’s assumption that all of this was normal. I boldly suggested that his treatments were causing serious problems and was met with ridicule and fierce pushback. So, I decided to look elsewhere for medical advice.

Pursuing alternative medicine…

I could not bear to see my children suffering, so I began researching like never before. Even without a specific diagnosis, I read every book I could get my hands on related to autism, allergies, asthma, and children’s health. We needed to detox so I turned to alternate treatments (special diets, methyl B-12 injections, IV vitamin C, NAC, injectable glutathione, chelation agents, low dose allergen therapy shots, hyperbaric chamber, infrared sauna, NAD, methylene blue, peptides, IV ozone, and red-light therapy).

Many of these treatments seemed to help, but only while we were using them. If we stopped the treatment, the symptoms would return. We were spending thousands on supplements, therapies, and doctor appointments. It wasn’t sustainable. My children were sensitive to foods, allergens, molds, bacteria, and viruses, and one exposure could trigger infections, allergies, neurological problems, and autoimmune reactions. Their immune systems were overproducing antibodies to everything, yet not fighting off serious infections.

I needed a treatment that would calm down or “reset” their immune system, even when exposed to problematic pathogens, toxins, and allergens.

Finding homeopathy...!

It took about 15 years for me to discover the amazing medicine known as homeopathy. Like many others, I confused homeopathy with “natural”, “herbs”, or “essential oils”, so I never knew what I was missing! In 2023, I was still searching for healing, so I started a parent advocacy and support group in my hometown of New Braunfels, Texas. I co-hosted a PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day Meet and Greet event at the Texas State Capitol with speeches by doctors, parents, and affected children. As guests signed in, I learned that 40% of the families in attendance recovered using homeopathy. Wow!

That same day, I met with a homeopath. She gave me a prescription and recommended that we treat the whole family. I began to see slow, but miraculous improvements to my own health and knew then that I needed to take a deeper dive into homeopathy.

As I immersed myself in researching homeopathy, I realized that this simple, elegant, and natural medicine that changed our lives so much for the better could change others’ lives too!

What’s next…?

After witnessing small miracles and answered prayers in my own family, I couldn’t wait to tell other families about this non-toxic, safe, and natural medicine. Since then, I have seen homeopathy effectively treat other diseases, such as fevers, insomnia, allergies, anxiety, depression, headaches, seizures, IBS, ulcers, and ulcerative colitis. I can now confidently shout to the world that Homeopathy IS Changing Lives!

I am so thankful that Wren Lloyd asked me to join her in this project in raising awareness about homeopathy, empowering listeners, providing respectful alternatives to conventional medicine, and bridging the gap between patient and practitioner. I love sharing what I’ve learned with others in the hopes that it will help someone else along the way! Lots of love!!
