The beginning of my journey

About 5 years ago I got a condition called Interstitial Cystitis.  It's pretty painful and very inconvenient for someone with an active lifestyle.  I originally went the regular medical route, seeing a urologist, who told me it is "incurable" and that there are some things that help symptoms for some people but it's a crapshoot.  I tried some things and endured a LOT of pain and decided to go out on my own and research this whole thing to see if there was any information at all about it.  I found a couple books written by people who had it and had cured themselves.  That started me on my whole journey that I am still on.
I truly believe that the body can cure itself if given the right environment.  And as I go on I realize that the environment not only involves the body, food, drugs, etc, but a BIGGER part of it is the mind. I have read, as most people who are interested in healing, a lot of books and accounts of people who have spontaneously been cured of various diseases.  I originally started by reading "The Maker's Diet", in which Jordan Rubin cured himself of a disease through diet.  So that's where I started, diet.  I cut out all processed food and added as much good "stuff" as I could.  From there I progressed to outside influences such as chemicals in creams, lotions, cleaning products, metal in my fillings, etc.  My primary focus now is on the mind-body connection and I do a lot of reading about it.  I will be blogging about things I've learned but I would love to hear other peoples experiences too!

Body, mind and spirit!

Hi World!
I have been on a journey to health pretty much my whole life.  I've had my ups and downs but health has always been an important issue for me.  Health to me is so much more than medical issues.  When I looked up health blogs I found that so many of them are sponsored by medical companies.  But my journey has taken me to explore physical health, mental health, and spiritual health, as I truly believe that they are all interconnected and all affect each other.  I will be posting things that I have learned and I would LOVE to hear from others your feelings about it and your experiences.  Thank you for joining me in my quest for TOTAL HEALTH!
