Cure Chronic: The Chronic Movement

René lives in Amsterdam in the Netherlands and lives with Ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS is a rare type of arthritis that causes pain and stiffness in your spine. René thought for years his life would end up crippled in a wheel chair, suffering with chronic pain. He went through incredibly dark times, suffering with thoughts of suicide. But fortunately, René prevailed, and with many tough days, amazing positive resources, family and friends and now running, he lives a happy, positive life with limited medication and almost no pain! He is healthy, he goes to the gym all of the time and is training up for a half marathon (which he might do sooner rather than later!)

She always had a healthy outlook on life and a deep interest in how to get in shape/keep her body healthy because of her years of dancing and cheering.  However, it wasn’t until her diagnosis of Lyme disease in 2014 where she was forced to change for different reasons.  It took years and several doctors to find the root cause of her digestion issues, intense joint pain, brain fog, and eye issues.  She received several random diagnosis (such as IBS... that is a symptom but a diagnosis) that she knew weren’t right.  She knew she had to keep pushing and be her own advocate!

Ginger DeClue was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, behcets and familial mediteranean fever (which both attack the organs similarly to lupus) overcome by one bought of encephalitis (brain swelling which left her temporarily paralyzed) two bouts of pericarditis, chronic pain, flare ups, anxiety and depression. She finally decided enough was enough when it came to Western Medicine. 

After a decade of researching, studying and implementing natural ways of healing the body, she became a healer and iridologist. Ginger has worked with many clients, many of whom are dealing with diabetes, arthritis, lymes disease, high blood pressure, migraine, chronic fatigue and cancer - to get them on the road to wellville. Ginger first reads the iris to determine where in the body the individual is suffering from lymphatic stagnation, which as far as Ginger is concerned, is the cause of disease. If the body is not eliminating metabolic waste through the lymphatic system, kidneys, lungs and colon - that waste builds and creates inflammation. 

Once the stagnation is identified, she works one on one with her clients to get them on the correct herbs and detox protocol to balance the body and facilitate healing. Her motto, "Health is Wealth and we ALL deserve to be rich" - a society full of vital and thriving humans BEINGS is the key to enlightenment. If you or a loved one is suffering from any dis-ease or if you are feeling lifeless and in need of a reset , please reach out to Ginger via email at [email protected]. You can also find her on instagram @healwithgingerdeclue. Ginger works with clients in person in the LA area, and also remotely via zoom.

“A Huron County woman has had her life turned upside down by Lyme disease and wants others to be aware of the consequences. Cases of the tick-borne illness are on the rise in Canada, but most people still have to go the U.S. for diagnosis and treatment. It took two years, but Michelle Lacharite is finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in her battle with Lyme disease."

Listen to Marnie’s story with lyme how she was misdiagnosed for years and told she had Hashimoto’s and MS because of her symptoms, finally being diagnosed in January of 2019 after ten years of health issues. She has become a Lyme advocate in her home town of Kamloops, BC.  Her hope is that others in Canada who are suffering from auto-immune disorders and other health issues will spend the time to educate themselves further on this disease.  Lyme is much more prevalent in our country than we are being told.  

Understand some reasons why it is a disease that is so poorly diagnosed, mistreated and more, especially in Canada.

Dealing with medical problems all of her life, and then being diagnosed with two advanced #autoimmune disease #Rheumatoid #Arthritis and #Hashimotos, Roxy believed that she could #heal from the inside out, aside from medications. If this was her body doing this to her, she believed that she had the ability to reverse it.

She is now a Holistic Health Coach and helps others go into #remission like she did, with nutrition, stress management and much more.

Danielle was diagnosed with lupus 20 years ago. For years, she tried every holistic treatment she could get her hands on. She has never been on any medications and just did her best to get through the days for her family. She suffered silently. In August of 2017 she had the mother of all flares.

She began to research, “Diet and Lupus.” She found the keto diet. In October of 2017 she made the lifestyle change to a ketogenic diet. Danielle removed all inflammatory foods from her diet and in a few weeks felt amazing and her energy level was through the roof. It is now over 2 years later and her lupus is in remission.

Danielle has no symptoms and blood work shows no inflammatory markers. Her doctor cannot confirm or deny that this way of life has anything to do with her remission, but told her not to change a thing. She feels absolutely fabulous and is very healthy. Her cholesterol and blood pressure are perfect! What is most important is that she feels like she now functions like a normal person.

Danielle is a Certified Health, Life and Keto Coach and also a YTT 200 Yoga Instructor. Danielle is also a patient leader at WEGO Health for the lupus community.

She has a need, want, desire, whatever you want to call it to help people gain back control of their health and happiness.
