Grapes saved my life....literally

In the fall of 16' my reality was broke and exhausted, battling with my doctor against Lyme disease and co-infections. The money was pouring out of our pockets $5,000 to $6,000 a month on IVs, supplements, injections, living in doctors' offices. Doctors convinced me fifteen times to cut me open to fix my problems. The results were short term at best but ultimately made my symptoms worse. My physical pain was out of control and had insomnia that sleeping pills couldn't touch. Foods would come out just like they went into dysfunctional digestion system.

The bottom was 98 lbs. with doctors advising me to eat more protein, hope was slipping in my life. This drove me to a very dark space knowing I had exhausted my options. What to do?..................my glimmer of hope was a friend recommend Grape Juice fasting..............uuuummmmmm ya no I am tall woman currently weighing 98 lbs....thats a dumb idea!!

After one week of crying, mass consuming proteins (meat) proscribed by my doctors, the result was I couldn't even walk. The thought crossed my mind that maybe my organs were shutting down. The foods I was eating were making every thing worse.

This relentless voice in me that said to go on the Grape Juice Fast, Now!! You need to cleanse your organs with juice and herbs like the Egyptians did. My family and friends all told me this was an awful idea...too much sugar....no protein.

So i decided to commit to one day of a grape juice fast. One day I felt was safe enough to try. The first day I felt a little light headed but nothing I couldn't handle. At about midnight the pain ramped up so bad I seriously wanted to just die. My husband would have to continually talk me out of suicide when it was this bad.

2 a.m. kidney stones came dumping out after my husband was holding me most of the night. I have had severe pain in my kidney areas for years that doctors convinced me were back pain. Pissed that thousands were spent on doctors and here I am treating myself.

3 a.m......black....so much black....dumping out of my body, not even knowing what it was. Embarrassed that my husband had to clean it up........I couldn't escape....but grapes gave me a glimmer of hope to heal.

It was mold and degeneration leaving my body. I was diagnosed with degenerative spine disease about 12 years ago....only solution was pain pills which I refused. I lived in a condo filled with mold in my teens when most my symptoms got worse.

(there is a ton more pics so i chose the least grossest ones so I don't scare people too much)

The next day I could feel it in every bone of my body that the Grape juice fast was the way out for me. I juiced only grapes and used herbs to cleanse my organs for six weeks on the Grape juice fast.

At this point I looked anorexic with bruising all over my body. The weirdest part is that lines were coming out all over my body. Later I learned from a doctor who specialized in Pelvic Inflammatory disease that it was bound up fascia muscles that formed into tumors. Now I know why every part of my body has hurt for most my life now.

It hurt to even sit....anyone who says skinny is awesome is nuts! My nails even turned black with patches of white, losing a few during the process (They have since grown back).

I still continue to juice grapes I drink 10 to 12 oz daily. When I was on the 6 week juice fast I drank a minimum of 21oz a day.

Grapes have a sourness that idicates the presence of phytochemicals critical to kidney function. They are amazing liver cleansers as well. Grape skins hold powerful micronutrients that expel parasites, mold, and other unproductive fungus from the intestinal tract. They expel radiation from the body and become a magnet that draws DDT and toxic heavy metals out of the liver and other organs. Plus, they are a potent antiviral for autoimmune disease, which I have found is caused by viral explosion.

The symptoms that have disappeared or gone are:

Bacterial gastroenteritis - 100% better

Mold exposure - 100% better

Kidney stones - 100% better

ADHD - 80% better

Tumors - 80% better

Depression - 100% better

Anemia - 100% better

Insomnia - 80% better

Chronic fatigue - 90% better

Neurological disorder - 90% better

Hemorrhoids - 100% gone

Herpes - 100% gone

Chronic pain - 80% better

Am I still the sick girl since I have been all my life?

Or am a Phoenix rising from the ashes of of hellish torture?

Fortunately I am choosing the Phoenix.....I always wanted to fly.....so here goes.

Age 33 was lovely......divorced, bankrupt and losing both my homes, while I worked my ass off. None of this was due to be being lazy. I worked 5 jobs to try to get our mortgages paid through the recession. Basically I allowed men to live off of me during those years for money. I chose to take it so I knew what I was doing. Somehow I thought they would return the love. I was buying LOVE.

 

I bought over $100,000 worth of love from a man and ended up with nothing. No voice, no power, no money, no kids, no husband, no dreams. Too many dreams had left....I was a shell of woman with only despair and everyone looking at me like I am an idiot since I bailed him out of all his debt while I worked for it.​

Realizing at age 33 my soul was crushed in ways I couldn't even imagine. My dreams ran out and no way to take care of myself since my health problems were escalating and the economy was horrible at the time. No apology, no love....just despair and health issues spiraling out of control.

34- Met the love of my life! But before I knew it I was ripping him to shreds in my head on our first date. Like every woman does if the guy is too nice. Most women I know anyway.

A loud voice screamed in my head at the dinner table "Just shut the hell up and enjoy your dinner! He just drove your butt all the way up to Seattle to your favorite restaurant....just enjoy the company and be polite."

At that point I submitted and said ok I will just ditch him after dinner, but have fun in meantime.

Once he kissed me it was all over......I love this man so much my heart aches all the time with love for him. This is the true love I had always been searching for. Seeing him as a Father to his boys made me fall even more in love with him.

This man has truly helped me find the way to me. The real Jessica without sickness. The girl always hiding her true self only showing what she thought others wanted to see to make them happy. Never realizing in the end she was always left unhappy and none came to rescue her like she did for so many others.

So then I turned 38 and spent well over $100,000 to get pregnant or adopt. It was a shit show how that all went down. Anyone who knows me knows this was impossible. Hardly able to keep my body up at this point as the pain was increasing big time daily. I was beyond desperate but just kept doing what I always do...acted my way into saying I am fine. I would sob through the day and night silently from pain.....never ending physical pain. I would beg God to help me. My pain grew so intense I would have no other choice than to sit there for hours paralyzed by pain.

I will never forget the news of being diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Hit me so hard....silently plotting my suicide. That's what my Dad did so may as well follow....his chronic pain ate him alive. He was in so much physical pain he couldn’t function.

But once my doctor calmed me down I felt better thinking well at least I have insurance to cover it. I finally after 38 years of pain know WHY!

Ya no such luck. Insurance doesn't cover that disease and don't forget this is the disease that makes you look crazy and people will accuse you of faking it. Awesome......now what?!

And.....that's when I took matters into my own hands.

I was so far down the hole of despair at that point all I could see was black. Black sticky tar.....dragging my body through it. Screaming at me to keep moving because if I stop moving I won't be able to get back up.

I knew suicide was not the answer. My Mom already lived through my Dad's suicide....can't do that to her.

Walking up all night never having sleep taught me just how much I needed to love myself. I sobbed for hours and days and days sobbing out all the trauma to let this shit go once and for all. I had no clue how much my body held onto trauma.

All my organs had shut down and i dropped to 98 pounds. All the doctors told me to make sure and eat even when it was coming out the same way it went in. Didn't matter what I ate it I was unable to digest anything. At this point i had none who could help me....but me.

I chose LIFE

I chose LIGHT

I chose to rise like the PHOENIX

I slowly started to see myself for who I really was.....a scared girl too afraid to show herself. Not the bitch I made myself out to be.

This blog is about my path and the many crazy ways I learned to heal when I took matter into my own hands to become my own Doctor.

Who Am I?
