Stories of Transformation - Gretchen
Summary
A person had limbic brain trauma manifesting as chronic pain off and on for 10 years, with last 5 years "really pretty freaking horrible," then had a vision getting answers and unknowingly applied parts of the formula, curing chronic pain by showing up at gym every day powerlifting thinking greater than feeling, getting over body identity as chronic pain person, powerlifting successfully for 2 years. They installed a reverse osmosis water system (to remove fluoride for pineal health) but it wasn't hooked up correctly, developing massive penicillium and fusarium colonies, making them super sick drinking buckets daily thinking they were being healthy; for 16 months they wore a mask everywhere (cool masks looking like Bane), eventually reaching a point where they'd either live in desert in camper or kill themselves because every environment was unsafe, most foods made them sick, and being vibrant they didn't want this new body. After finding a neuroplasticity program based on Dr. Joe's teachings and reading "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" 50+ times, they got over their body, identity, emotions, overcame illness scenario, didn't speak its name or talk about symptoms, signed up for Niagara as a treat but knew they still had massive hypothyroidism on 2 medications, insomnia mixing contraindicated pharmaceuticals from desperation, chronic pain had returned, neurological imbalances with left side checking out (leg not lifting, clumsy, forgetful), anxiety and depression. At Niagara they immediately reacted to everyone's perfumes developing full-blown multiple chemical sensitivity; during first coherence healing sitting near someone "firehosed in perfume" they were coughing, throat closing, tears, snot pouring, and peed their pants, going into fight-or-flight wanting to run, but realized "this is what you came here for" and told their body "later boo, you do you, I'm gonna put all my love into this person" - within minutes all symptoms were gone. After their healing as healee they stopped sleep medicine (sleeping deeply and beautifully now), came off one medication by 50%, and impatience (being super impatient in fight-or-flight) disappeared completely feeling more free than in so long. Most interesting: in 2 years of lifting with no gains, after getting home their 1-rep max bench press went up 20-25 pounds in 2 months (most women their age get 10 pounds/year) because their brain suddenly had everything talking to each other, left side not checking out, all power finally accessible - they made the U.S. powerlifting team and are competing in Czech Republic in 3 months, going from "spoonie life mold illness victim" to competing on national team.
