Reclaiming my health, discovering my purpose
It was my own struggle with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) that utterly redirected the trajectory of my life, how I viewed health and the limitations of the medical system when it came to chronic or mystery illness such as MCS…..
“The hair stylist was concerned because apparently, I had suddenly turned very pale and looked like I was about to faint. Insisting I was fine, the task of dyeing my hair continued. My body struggled to cope, and things quickly turned frantic. I could vaguely hear being asked had I any allergies to hairdye and could hardly remember the journey to the nearest medical facility….
Treated with steroids and antihistamine, observed until I had recovered sufficiently and duly sent on my way with a script and a referral to an allergist. The following days were a blur. I slept unnaturally long periods. It felt like I was being continuously hit with a sledge hammer in the back of the head. My body was insanely itchy from head to toe, my entire body swelled up with fluid and the feeling of nausea was debilitating. I had never remembered feeling so weak in my life – the doctor scratched it down to a virus, advised rest and fluids and it will pass off very soon. BUT as so many MCS sufferers reading this will recognise, this was only the start……this chemical exposure would change life as I knew it forever.
Days turned into a fortnight. Random, intense bouts of brainache, breathlessness, dizziness, confusion and the fatigue that slammed in on top of my already weak, exhausted body didn’t make sense. It took a while before I linked these intensified symptoms with exposure to chemicals.
The list of intolerances became unending. Antibacterial sprays, household cleaners, furniture polish, bleach, paint, varnish, exhaust fumes, aerosol sprays, perfume, scented candles and sunscreen all sparked off a chaos in my body. Four months later, my body had begun to react to processed food and conventionally sprayed produce. My body became a chemical detection wizard. If I inhaled, touched or ingested anything remotely chemical based my body set off the alarm and an array of bizarre symptoms would quickly overpower my body. The sudden drops in blood pressure were terrifying.
I quickly became a medical hotcake as I was hand-balled from Cardiology to Immunology, Endocrinology to Neurology as all the while my list of symptoms and medications grew. My illness even dictated what medications my body could tolerate. The more time that passed, the sicker I got. As my body’s sensitivity increased, as did the list of symptoms I was experiencing and hours of the day I spent in bed. Weakness of my limbs and numbness of the feet limited me drastically. Life as I knew it was over. Never in a million years did I ever foresee finding myself too ill to care for my 4 kids. This illness had ripped me asunder.
Two especially potent exposures, put me in very grave danger. These experiences forced me to face up to the gravity of my situation. Thinking out eventualities in the event I didn’t make it to watch my then 5, 7, 9, and 13 year old kids grow up was solely THE most terrifying prospect of my entire life. We had only just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary the summer previous and there was no part of this illness fitting into the mega plans we had for our next decade.
Gods messenger came by the way of Alma. She urged me to read “The Medical Medium” by Anthony Williams. It was the first logical explanation for my symptoms and only bit of hope I had left of a way out. I set about cleansing and rebuilding my weak, shattered body. The road was desperately lonely and hard. Cleansing my body made me sicker. It was a shock to realise that a Multiple Chemical Sensitivity sufferer will even react to chemicals being released from their own cells!! Yet cleansing was the only way out……A catch 22 if ever I found myself in one. My support circle now consisted of a group of strangers on a facebook group, healing similiar chronic issues such as mine.
The months rolled by. My strength slowly returned in small increments. The deeper I cleansed out my body, my reliance on medications and steroids began to reduce and I began weaning off them under supervision. I was beginning to see the benefits of a diet rich in fresh organic produce. Even though the physical reactions to chemicals were still there, they had reduced drastically in severity. My energy levels improved so I wasn’t spending 7 hours of the day in bed, headaches disappeared and slowly I was finding myself come back to some sort of tolerant normal.
As quickly as I had begun to resolve one issue, another one popped right up. Very quickly I identified a major problem. I was totally traumatised by my experience and found myself replaying it over and over in my head. I was physically recovering yet I wasn’t emotionally or mentally recovered. I was haunted by the fear of my body becoming hyper sensitised to chemicals again. I had already lost a chunk of months to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, blood pressure drops, migraines, breathing issues and chronic fatigue…. I wasn’t prepared to lose anymore time battling for my mental health. And so, a new journey began.
I was blessed with meeting many great practitioners on my path to recovery. No stone was left unturned. Why did I crash? How had my body been weakened to the point of being left shattered by hairdye?? What else was going on for me in the background?
Reviewing the timeline of my life experience through the “Quantum lens” unearthed a whole new paradigm to me. Energy medicine taught me to look at the frequency and vibrations and how it accumulates within us to weaken the physical body. The crash with my health began to make total sense to me.
I set about a total energy clearance. I learned how to identify and release trapped energies that were being harboured in my body and energy field. I trained in modalities that would teach me how to identify negative patterns, programmes, mindsets and conditioning and learn how to reprogram the subconscious. The deeper I dug, the more my health improved and a new happier me emerged.
I am eternally grateful for the road this illness brought me on. My greatest passions and gifts were unveiled and I discovered my true spiritual path. My purpose to light the path for others on a similar journey became clear and so “The Quantum Reboot” was born. I don’t share this story for sympathy or fame. I share so you can get a better sense of my journey to becoming a Practitioner and being here to assist you on your journey.
