Holistic Healing

The doctor told me that the damage was permanent and I would never be able to speak normally again! My husband encouraged me to take early retirement and the doctor said that I was a candidate for disability insurance, but I was not ready to give up my job or my independence!

From day one, I pressed forward, forcing myself to continue in my job and with the help of friends and colleagues that supported me, I was able to continue attending my meetings and working at my chosen career.

All the time, I was aware of holistic healing and when I met Ashni Mulchand, a Holistic Healer in Lake Nona, and I decided to give her a try!

When mainstream medicine fails you and you feel that there is no other alternative to chemical drugs, holistic healing can be the answer!

I have long been averse to chemical solutions to the ever increasing ailments, mainly because for every drug they give you, there is a side effect, which results in yet another drug!

Reluctantly, I took the first drug - a statin for high cholesterol (a condition I inherited from both parents!), which changed my personality so much that I hardly recognized myself. I was placed on a milder drug, which just pushed up my blood pressure, that led to me experiencing extremely high numbers.

The doctor said that I was a candidate for a stroke and placed me on a stronger medication!

Then it happened! I had a stroke which affected my speech!
