After several years of unsuccessfully attempting to get pregnant, I was diagnosed with chronic endometriosis in the Spring of 1998. As you know, endometriosis is a disorder of the female reproductive organs which usually prevents the person from becoming pregnant. I was also told that without hormonal drug treatment I would probably never get pregnant and would eventually probably have to receive a hysterectomy. Needless to say I was scared.
I landed at Creative Health in June of 1998 to do the 2-week program and to become a student/energy exchange staff for the remainder of the summer. I came to the program overweight, exhausted, moody, depressed, and worst of all to me…infertile.
After 3 days of doing the program a remarkable thing happened. To my surprise after just days on the program, the severe menstrual cramps that I had endured for years were GONE! That was enough for me to open my eyes, wake up and really start doing the program.
Once I got on and stayed on the program it was smooth sailin’…REALLY! By the time I had finished my 3 month stint I was drinking somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-14 ounces of wheatgrass a day, zoomin’ around the kitchen preparing food, exercising more than I had in months and practically had a permanent smile on my face. I had also lost about 35 pounds and looked like a completely different person. I was feeling so good, now I didn’t want to go back home!
I did go home though and I am ecstatic to report that just 5 months after returning from Creative Health Institute, my husband and I became pregnant with our first child. I’m proud to say that on October 18, 1999 our daughter came into this world healthy, happy and full of life.
I’m here to say NEVER GIVE UP! No matter what anyone tells you – DON’T! Just do the program. You can do it, whatever your health challenge is. And the good news is you have lots of wonderful people to help you along the way!
