Here Comes the Fighter!

I woke up this morning feeling much rested after my pity party day and I felt much better and ready to tackle the world. I went to my scheduled functional medicine appointment to work on a cancer plan with her but after the appointment, I left with only one valuable piece of information- to talk to Rhett Bergeron, an integrative oncologist. I had already known about Dr. Bergeron and had already reached out to him for an appointment but this meeting with my functional doctor reminded me that I needed to follow up with him. So, ✅️ that is now done. 

I also decided that I need to really start piecing together some clear information about all of this because that's just what I do. When I was a freshman at Georgia Tech, I took a Health class which awoke such a passion in me that I changed my major from Industrial Engineering to Biology thinking I would be a doctor. Well, that didn't go so well as I discovered late in my junior year, after volunteering at Grady Hospital, that I really wanted nothing to do with medicine. I feel most comfortable helping people to be healthy not fix them once they are sick. So, as a side gig passion project, I have studied countless books and podcasts and youtube videos on health. With this passion, also comes my own need to question and seek answers for myself personally. 

On the first video I linked a few days ago, a book was mentioned called the Emotion Code. Many people don't believe in this but I am a FIRM believer that the mind-body connection is one of the strongest influences over our health. So, when things start "breaking" I do think it is important to do a deep dive into emotions that might be suppressed or trauma that might have not been dealt with appropriately. Doctors just recommend surgery or a pill to take and they don't have the time or honestly the ability to look at the person as a whole to understand what underlying causes could be there. 

I also watched a video from a page that my friend Teri recommended to me, Chris Beats Cancer. This video I found on Chris' page was a little kooky so I am just going to put the link below but what she did mention in the video was German New Medicine and this concept is fascinating to me. If anyone is actually reading this, most of you will think I am crazy for even watching this but again, I have a firm belief that God works in our bodies in ways we don't understand. I also believe that God is the Ultimate Healer - He has given us the greatest immune systems to be able to fight so many things on our own. There are situations and things that happen that we don't understand, of course, but I don't want to dismiss His power over possible healing.

And if anyone is actually reading this, don't worry. I am not going to dismiss treatment to do what this video says BUT I do think that some of the things they discuss are things I can work on so it will be an "in conjunction" approach. No need to message me with concerns either! ❤️
