Here's to the future

Wow. Over a year later. I used to be so good at writing here, but now I'm terrible. Priorities, peeps.

The past year has been a whirlwind. We traveled a lot in 2016, attempting to make Kauai our second home without success (Tyson's issues, not mine :)). Although my love for traveling has continued to grow, I can't help but feel like I'm trying to fill a void in my life. A few posts back I talked about my miscarriage and how it effected us as individuals. I've felt that hole inside ever since. 2 years, 3 months ago. I'd talked to my doctor in hopes of him giving me instructions of how to get pregnant. Nope. They don't do that. Not to mention it could get awkward. Instead he checked me out, said everything was normal and that we must be missing each other during that special time. I figured that was the case.

My traveling slowed down, and I was able to actually spend time with my husband. I tried to relax and not think about having a baby but every time my 'Aunt Flo' would visit, I found myself getting more discouraged and depressed. Meanwhile, amongst our struggles, friends and family would post of their happy news of a tiny family member coming soon in the upcoming months. I continued to feel joy and happiness for them, but that isn't to say the news didn't hurt.

Finally, I decided to call my doctor and get my hormones tested. Working three jobs can take a toll on the body and I knew I was more stressed than what I should be. I figured he would tell me I needed to eliminate some of the stress (annndddd you do that, how?) and put me on some type of medication to regulate my hormones. Last Friday, I called the doctor to make an appointment for a blood test. Upon explaining to the nurse what my circumstances were, she asked me to call back the next week when the doctor was in so she could ask what the proper procedure would be.  I called Ty, informing him what the nurse said and he made a suggestion.

Tyson recently informed his family of our situation. His mom suggested going to a 'witch doctor'. Sounds crazy, I GET IT. However, I had met with this family friend before to get a hydro-cleanse. Yes, I recommend it. The holistic healer had a test that could measure my body, the inconsistencies, toxin levels, impurities, and frequencies. (Did you know our bodies have frequencies? Yup, me neither.) So being the tree huggers we are, I agreed to see the witch doctor.

Fast forward to Wednesday (yesterday). I showed up to the office and she asked me a few basic questions. Then she pulled out two metal grips. She told me to hang on to them. I picked them up and instantly the computer started going crazy. The grips were reading the frequencies in my body, measuring deficiencies, picking up on bacterias, impurities and toxins within the body. She did this test three separate times. Each time was a new test with detailed results. I found out in 1 hour what most people don't found out for weeks. I saw what vitamins I was deficient in, which organs weren't functioning properly, bacterial infections, why my skin is breaking out, toxins sitting in my body, allergies, sensitivities, etc.

I thought I was relatively healthy. I go to the gym (mostly) on the regular, eat healthy (we eliminated grains, sugar, and processed foods three years ago), I don't drink or smoke. After seeing the results, I was completely shocked. As a result, the 'witch doctor' put me on a regimen that eliminates a lot of the foods I am sensitive or allergic to. She gave me some natural remedies to help with fertility. But most of all she gave me the peace in knowing I wasn't crazy. There is something wrong with my body.

I understand I sound completely nuts. Being a self-employed family, we don't make a lot and we're cheap. Therefore, we have to be frugal with our money. We tend to try a lot of home remedies, go chemical free, and go to the doctor in EMERGENCIES only. The witch doctor costs less than a doctor visit. She didn't have to take my blood or give me an MRI. She didn't use an ultrasound or an X-ray. She simply scanned me with the Asyra machine.

We're on a 5 week climb to change my body. I couldn't do this without my amazing husband. He drops anything to come help with whatever I need. His extensive knowledge on home remedies and holistic healing is insane. I will forever be grateful for the compassion and love he has for me and our little family. He is my better half. If you don't marry your best friend, you're missing out. Here's to hoping!
