Hello all,
I am a patient of Matia’s now for the past 5 years (with some breaks due to pregnancies) and I always said to myself when I get better I will write about my success. When I was really going through some rough patches I would be on the blog all the time looking for patients who had words of encouragement. I am hoping to give that to you with this letter.
First, trust the process. Matia knows what she is doing. She saved my life and spirit. I fought it for some years and couldn’t wrap my head around just how important diet/lifestyle is. Oh but it is. As an RN I was trained a certain way and turned to traditional medicine first and all that happened is I became sicker. I then had to change my whole way of thinking and go the “alternative” route. I would burn for a whole year after each child I had. Some nights I even thought I was going mad due to the symptoms. Walking and pacing throughout the night was not fun. Having my husband hold my hand at night just to feel comforted was common. Waiting for night to sleep so I wouldn’t feel the burn was daily. Looking at my friends wanting to be them to just feel normal again and wondering if would ever happen to me. And I am so happy to say I am there. At best I get a little symptom at night once a month. Now, how I got there was doing what Matia said. I was extremely adherent to the supplements and as for the diet I would mess up but always got back on course. It was scary at first but I had spoken to previous patients of Matia’s and they motivated me enough to stay the course. If she is helping you consider yourself blessed and lucky to have found her. I chose to believe this illness happened for a reason and I was going to embrace what happened and see this as an opportunity to change. It was as if my body was signaling to me I was going down the wrong path and I needed to change things now.
Some of the best advice I ever received was to do one small change a week and then your small changes add up to big changes. This is very true for my family. I have 4 small little girls and they are being raised a very different way than I was. My girls are active with our preparing and cooking of meals. Their healthy words vocabulary is quite impressive.
Stay the course, you are worth it and so is life!
God Bless,
E

Thank you so much for this E.
Thank you so much for this E. My 3 daughters are all working in Healthcare. One is an RN. I know they don't understand my choice of this treatment but try to support me as best they can. I am going to share this with them. Thank you for opening up and sharing with us. It helps so very much. I am so thankful to hear you have 4 healthy girls and that you are doing well. Best wishes of continued health!!!
Hi, it's E. Glad to see
Hi, it's E. Glad to see people are happy to hear my success:). I wanted to comment to Patty regarding her daughters in healthcare. When I was in school our nutrition class was more like a chemistry class and never focused on the meat and potatoes of nutrition in my opinion. Like how nutrition can heal and prevent diseases. If it was mentioned it was really brushed over. We are taught there is a pill to help people deal with their symptoms rather then get to the root of the problem and go from there. I forgot to mention my husband is an emergency room physician, he too now sees how nutrition and supplements are extremely important. If someone in the medical community strays from the norm they will be viewed as a quack. I was of the mindset of your daughters before I got sick. I was shocked when I got IC that there wasn't a magic pill that would help me. In fact nobody knew why I even got it. Very scary! By the grace of God I found Matia. I was even hesitant at first and told myself I would use her as a last resort. Boy was I dumb. I wish I would of started to see her right from the beginning. But who knew traditional medicine would only make me worse. Medicine has a place and it saves lives but it is very poor and illnesses like IC and other autoimmune issues. If your daughters really took some time and researched nutrition I think they would be pleasantly surprised. What helped me was watching documentaries. My husband and I would watch and learn together I felt like the wool was lifted:) I knew when I was healthier and able to eat more foods I would really benefit from what I learned. I will never go back to my old ways for many reasons. More and more people are becoming open to alternative ways(which should be used first in my opinion). I have been told I have inspired so many of my friends and family to really look at things differently (and I didn't even know it). Many of them now take probiotics, vit D, fish oil, juice plus etc.. You will inspire others also if you haven't already:) stay your course and your family will learn from you. I used to take food with me to friends houses for dinners. Some thought I was weird but others asked questions and slowly asked more and more. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
Thank you so much again E.
Thank you so much again E. Sadly, our society is very content with pills that cover up the symptoms. Most people do not want to put in the hard work it takes to create good health. There are not too many of us that are educated and desire change and are willing to change whats necessary. Sadly, most of us only get there ONCE we are sick. I salute you and your husband. It is like a breath of fresh air to hear of your positions and the stand you have taken. I agree with everything you have said here. My husband actually had a doctor laugh in his face at thesupplements he took. It would bewonderful if doctors and nurses were educated in natural meds and could help lead us all in a better direction, I've read that the pharm. companies are very involved in the training classes of new physicians so if that is true they certainly wouldn't want them to be trained in anything that would cut back the money they are making from the drugs they sell. Thank you for the efforts and stride you are making in turning things around :)
