We Stopped Struggling To Fit In

I was one of those people, maybe like you or someone you know. Heck, what do you mean there is an all you can eat buffet? I was there stuffing my face. When I battled my mold exposure it was the first time in my life in my late 30's that I questioned my food I was eating. I started researching the food we were eating and cleaned out our cabinets. DO OVER, I thought, we are being poisoned. Not only did I learn about all the chemicals in our food but also learned why I was eating and what I was doing to my body. Sadly it wasn't soon enough and months after my research my son was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately though, I was armed with some knowledge as my research continued. After taking classes and working at my sons naturopath's office my passion grew to help and inform people! After Jared beat the odds of conventional medicine's diagnosis the struggle was real that we did not fit in with the norm anymore.

Food

Jared got more closed off to society as our whole family did. My oldest son and his wife started asking us for assistance in nutrition and things like organic eating and natural ways to do things without chemicals. Our family started observing the long lines at the pharmacy. The overweight people waiting for their next pain pill. It has changed our life. Not just by seeing people but even in our places of employment. I could never work in a typical environment, say a grocery store. I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut with the lady struggling to put her items on the grocery conveyor belt without begging her to see she is deemed for disease and to research what she is buying!

As thankful as I am for this knowledge it put a hardship on our family to adjust to what is called the norm in our society. We are thankful for the friends in our lives that understand it but also thankful for the new people reaching out to us for help and willing to learn.

There is a pill for every ill isn't there? It really starts with what we put in our mouths. Sugar being so addicting most people eat as much sugar per day now as your grandmother ate in a month when she was growing up. I encourage you to cook and take time in your kitchen. Take a box out of your cabinet and look up what the ingredients are.

I look at people and see how inflamed they are. Their puffy face, they usually have other complaints as well and blame it on stress, aging whatever the easiest excuse is. As I ask them what is in their routine for detoxification they often say well I go to the bathroom! I break the news that sadly that is not enough. I have learned that our family may not fit in anymore and many times I think so what is fitting in anyway? People walking around like a bunch of zombies miserable in what they do day in and day out? Medicating themselves to forget their relationships or jobs, maybe that's fitting in? Nahhhh that's ok I will continue to not fit in and talk to people who want to listen. Sure some people look at us as weird.

weird

Here is where I become thankful that sickness changed us to not only be healthy and maybe a little weird but alive for the first time in our lives. I am so thankful for the journey to have been where we were and where we are now. I realized when I am sad I don't have to medicate myself with sugar. I reflect and pray for the people that are "part of the norm" not realizing they are not loving themselves enough to love their health. Why are they punishing themselves? Some people don't want to know the truth because they will have to change and change isn't easy. Yes it may not be easy but when you change, you will be so glad you did!
