 A litany of problems

Until I met Mihae, my health had been in general decline for several years despite my concerted efforts to be healthy. My symptoms and problems include: Endometriosis and PMS; chronic fatigue syndrome; fibromyalgia (suspected though not officially diagnosed); sinus problems related to seasonal and food allergies; eczema; low-level but persistent acne; facial twitching from food allergies; problems sleeping; and slowly gaining weight despite dieting and exercising.

Before I met Mihae I had three surgeries and tried a dozen or more drugs (including injecting myself daily with a male hormone) for the endometriosis. I also tried many other drugs for my various other ailments. I have been eating a healthy vegetarian diet for several years. And while I avoided breads and dairy, I could never give them up totally. I tried acupuncture with some limited success. I tried my best to exercise regularly, but fatigue, a sinus infection or a slight injury always seemed to derail any progress. I've read dozens of books over the years about illnesses, healthy living, exercising and diet. I was fighting like hell to be healthy but nothing seemed to work.

I have been seeing Mihae for about six months now and feel better in EVERY way. I sleep better and have more level energy through the day. My sinus problems are much better and I do not get colds and sinus infections like I used to - if I start to feel one coming on, resting and seeing Mihae makes it much less severe (I might miss one day as opposed to a whole week!). I have lost over 20 pounds without being hungry, and only get pimples when I cheat on my Mihae diet. I used to lather up the lotion every day because of dry skin and eczema, now I really only put lotion on my hands and my eczema doesn't itch or need special creams. Last month, for the first time in a long time, my period started unexpectedly – without the usual cramping and irritability. And at one point in the last couple years, my food allergies were so severe, I suffered a range of symptoms after every meal. Now I can control that by eating the right diet. I feel healthier and happier!

I feel so blessed to have finally met Mihae on my search for healthy living. Yes, sometimes the acupuncture hurts a little, but it is not bad and Mihae makes sure of it. After each session my body feels balanced and stronger. At first the diet seems weird and it was difficult at first, but it has really worked for me – and I have tested it by eating as she directs for awhile and then cheating, which always leads to some adverse event. I am acutally happier now when I eat the diet than when I cheat! Mihae is knowledgeable, committed to improving my health, kind, gentle, and a great support for me in living healthy. I finally feel like I am on the right path.
