This time it's Sophie!


We have been taking our supplements now for nearly two months. Everyone is feeling healthier, but last week, something miraculous happened! My youngest, Sophie, has been struggling with some health challenges for a few years. More than three years ago she started having intense stomach aches. Like screaming bloody murder for hours. Early on, I took her in and each time the doctor did some tests, and called them stomach migraines, which means, "we don't know". I know enough about health, and having gone through IBS in the late 1990s I knew that gut health and probiotics  are critical. I started making sour Kraut and trying to get my authentically stubborn red head to eat healthy. My boys go on long fasts from sugar and center their lives around healthy eating and sports, but my girls....

Then two and a half years ago I noticed an alarming lump on her neck. She was snuggled up next to me in church and I found this large grape sized lymph node. It was so large you could see it from a few feet away. So I took her in, and they ran more tests. She had tons of blood work done which revealed dangerously low white blood cells. This led to more tests, including one for leukemia. They were all negative. So the functional medical doctor put her on lots of supplements to boost her immune system. The lymph node remained the same alarming size. She remained on the supplements for two years, with no change. I think her health was a little more stable, and we had a few less stomach migraines. We tried to incorporate lots of sour Kraut and fermented foods and immune boosting herbs.

Sophie started taking our new supplements a few weeks after I did and had been taking them for almost 6 weeks when one day I placed my hand on her neck and couldn't find the lymph node. Startled I searched more thoroughly. I found it, but it was very small. I was amazed! With grateful interest I watched it every day for the next few weeks as it disappeared completely. I can no longer find it at all! She hasn't had a stomach migraine in well over a month. She seems stronger and healthier. Once again, I did not expect this, but I am so grateful! Of all the improvements we have watched in awe, this one I am most grateful for. And I'm saving money too!

There is help out there! Sometimes it takes years of searching to find it, but I it is worth the search!
