Nearly a year ago, my liver specialist told me my only option was to have a liver transplant. My blood tests were the highest he had seen, and I was in so much pain in my liver. I had also been in constant pain in my joints and muscles for over twenty years. Many days I couldn't walk or get out of bed because of the pain. I was on so many pharmaceutical drugs that I had side effects from, that my life was miserable. I went to see Emma just after I had seen the liver specialist. Emma looked at my blood under the Hemaview and couldn't believe how bad it was, all the blood cells were stuck together and unable to move freely, most of them were completely misshapen and some of the platelets were actually blowing bubbles. Emma diagnosed a gluten, seafood and pork intolerance and provided me with supplements to support my liver and improve my blood. Within weeks I was feeling so much better, within months my liver specialist couldn't believe the difference. I no longer needed to be on the liver transplant list. The pain in my joints and muscles had completely disappeared, and I was not only walking the dogs, but running with them. My skin looks great and I can't believe that I could ever feel this healthy. I have lost weight without trying and being gluten free hasn't been a problem because I know when I eat gluten I am in pain again, and its not a place I want to be anymore. (The only problem with being gluten free is that gluten can be hidden in so many products, even makeup and moisturisers. Fresh fruit, vegies, fish, steak and rice are now my staples. I can't afford to risk eating or using gluten again.) I no longer take pharmaceutical drugs that were giving me side effects and only masking the symptoms. I know I am well now, because of how I feel. Em has given me a life I never knew I could have. Visits to Em and the supplements she prescribes are not cheap, they cost me more than visits to the GP (who I rarely see now) and the drugs I was on. But you cannot assess your life in terms of money. I now have a life, and know that I will have a healthy life and a healthy old age. . which is something you can't put a value on.
Thankyou Em for giving me a life I never knew existed before. You really are a superstar.
