Wendy's Story
In August 2012 I had just graduated from college and almost simultaneously reached one of the most desperate points in my life. Four years prior, I was involved in a car accident in which I sustained a severely shattered pelvis. After many months recovering, I thought I had returned to my normal life only to have my first attack. My stomach could not keep any food in it, whatsoever. For the next four years, my diet would get more and more narrow until most days I was only having little bits of broth and rice. As a result I began having other issues with sleep and energy—I would sleep for days and wake up tired, my skin was breaking out for the first time in my life, my lymph nodes in my neck and underarms were swollen to the size of small eggs, and my stress was absolutely through the roof.
I pushed myself through four years of college like this, never addressing the issue until immediately after graduation when I couldn’t look away anymore. My stomach issues had gotten so bad that I had not been able to keep any bit of food in my body for two full weeks. I was malnourished and I felt myself fading. I thought, “I’m not eating, how long can this go on before I die?”
That was when I came to Rosanne. I sat down with her for a consultation, for the first time admitting everything I had been suffering with for so many years. She heard my desperation, let me cry, and then began to explain the three main components of the body (blood, cells, and lymph, anyone?). She broke down her plan into easily digestible parts, no pun intended. She let me choose how fast I would transition to an anti-inflammatory diet. We worked up from very small amounts of herbal liquids to small amounts of herbal capsules. And most of all, she was there in full support of me, as was her staff; be it a phone call, an emergency appointment, I felt I had the support I needed to take on the task of healing myself.
The day after seeing Rosanne, I took my first bite of food in weeks, a small amount of watermelon, and did not get sick (it is still my favorite food). I had been so toxic from my experience in the hospital after my car accident (think IV painkillers, antibiotics, radiation) compounded with the stress of recovery and lasting PTSD, my body had become completely and chronically inflamed.
The alkaline food Rosanne recommended actually worked with my system when nothing else did. For the next 16 weeks, I dove into the plan we created and I watched my body morph. I did not have any of the same issues I had been having, although I did experience detox symptoms, all of which were professionally and compassionately managed by the crew at Partners In Healing. I derived motivation from the changes I was seeing and my appointments with Rosanne. And I even watched lifelong issues with energy, ADD, and depression melt away. I felt better than I ever had and I was working for it! It was amazing to have control over my body and my health again. I was able to return to normal activities, search for a job, see my friends and family, instead of constantly feeling incapacitated and trapped.
My experience with Rosanne and the C.U.R.E. program gave my life back to me; something I thought might never happen after that fateful day I was involved in the crash. I have since integrated all I’ve learned from my time healing myself to manage my PTSD and inflammatory conditions. I know how to stave it off completely; I know how to let it ebb and flow as life happens. And most importantly, I know how to take control and prevent disease from taking over my life again.
Shortly after my own detoxification period, I began working with Rosanne’s patients helping them navigate the food aspect of detoxification. I shared my recipes that satisfied my cravings and I taught them techniques I learned that made this lifestyle a liveable reality. That is how much I believe in the change the C.U.R.E. program can create in you. Inflammation is so often at the root of our ailments, and giving your body real food and fuel for the amazing mechanisms it is trying to perform is step one in healing yourself and allowing yourself to get better. I have since opened up a vegan, gluten-free restaurant with these principles in mind, with a detoxification-friendly menu planned, and with the ability to cater to those who are healing themselves through food. It is another aspect of support that has stemmed from Partners in Healing and I am very proud to be able to contribute to all those who may take the same journey that I did four years ago.
Experiencing the C.U.R.E. program empowered me and gave me the tools to heal myself through natural means when medical means could not help me and doctors had no answers for me. It left me endowed with information and empowerment that I could not ignore when moving forward in my life and set me up on a path I would have never imagined: one of owning a restaurant and working with food every day, coming up with ways to make healthy food delicious and comforting. Taking a chance on a new way of life, may bring you so much more than health (although simply healing would be a beautiful and worthy reason on its own), it may bring you a purpose you had never recognized, or an understanding of yourself you did not previously possess, and for that I am forever grateful. Sincerely, Ann Nacknouck Owner of Clovermint of Café & Market.
Nutritional detox, under the guidance of Dr. Calabrese, not only saved my life but gave me a quality of life I had never known. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease at age 7, I spent my entire life being sick with one ailment or another such as chronic sinus infections, IBS, and sore throats. In my late 30’s, my immune system stopped working properly after my NK (a/k/a Killer Cells) stopped functioning. This allowed my body to contract and reactivate no less than 9 different viruses – simultaneously. I was subsequently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Epstein-Barr, and several other ailments. Then my body kicked in an auto-immune response to fight the viruses and started attacking itself. I saw every kind of medical specialist and took numerous medications, including a pill form of chemotherapy. Since Western medicine was not solving the problems, I decided to try a different route and made an appointment with Dr. Calabrese. She guided me through nutritional detox and how to maintain a healthy plant-based diet. She utilized herbs and acupuncture and within two months, I started feeling better than I had since I was a kid. A year and a half later I am happy to report that I am healthier than I have ever been. I am living proof that eating a plant-based diet can save your life.
