This image represents a journey that has completely transformed me. I am not the same person today that I was three years ago. When I look at the person on the left I see someone lost, scared, and desperate for answers .
.
Topical Steroid Withdrawal was my catalyst for change and launched me on a quest for answers. The struggle molded and shaped me. The thousands of layers of skin and pride I shed was like breaking shackles⛓. When I look at the person on the right I see someone free !
.
I feel blessed to live my truth and serve as a beacon of light for others on their healing journey . Through it all, being in service to others is the real reward and the greatest gift .
.
SPIRIT SAYS, “remember that all storms pass ☔️...One thing that happens when we go through struggles is that we become stronger ️♀️even if it doesn't feel that way at the time.
We learn to adapt, survive, and draw on parts of ourselves we otherwise wouldn't have had to . Many of us who go through chronic illness or hardships also choose to help others who are struggling by offering support and compassion in their tough times , which is a special gift . If you have gone through trials in this life, or still are, know it's because you are a special person with great purpose here. Remembering this truth about who you are can also help you ride out the storms until they pass .”
.
Thank you @medicalmedium for shining your light ⭐️ when I was lost in the storm. ⛈
The strength it takes us some days to just get out of bed in the morning and start the day is immeasurable. I have my first day orientation for school with ALL the teachers and this is what I've been dealing with over the weekend into today. We truly mean it when we say the simplest tasks can be so devastatingly hard. To say I don't want to be anywhere but my bed is an understatement. I heart you all that brave the world while in pain. It's no easy task, but we do it. When strong is the only option...

Where no answers could be found, I found mine with the @medicalmedium information’s which I will forever be grateful for. ☺️

Have you ever heard that your auto-immune disease or chronic issues are caused by your body attacking itself?
I surely did hear that!!✋ And it doesn’t feel good or right at all! .
Rest assure that « when inflammation isn’t the result of an injury, it’s the result of a pathogenic invader. »
.
« So the body does not go insane and start destroying itself. »
.
« Any antibody activity is your immune system actively attacking a pathogen, not your own body. »
.
In the case of eczema, there’s a pathogen in your liver (a variety of the Epstein-Barr Virus) that feeds of copper and excrete an even more toxic version of it creating dermatoxins, aka rashes.
.
Make so much sense, considering I had mononucleosis in my twenties!!
.
« Almost every single skin condition comes from the liver (as unwanted guests in the liver). »
.
« As we know many people with severe skin conditions choose steroids and find themselves with an even bigger reaction when they come off the medication, because the underlying liver problem was never addressed. »
.
This exactly what happened to me. I used topical steroid creams for more than 25 years. .
Two years ago, I made the commitment to withdrew from using them. .
Going through topical steroids withdrawal is no joke. But so does being chronically unhealthy! .
Thankfully, I found out the truth about what causes eczema in the first place and chose to heal with the @medicalmedium information’s. .
« In order to make progress with our health it’s not just about keeping out the foods that fuel the pathogens or avoiding exposure to other triggers. It’s also about bringing the foods that specifically target and cleanse your of viruses, bacteria, and the toxins that fuel them. »
.
I am currently doing that and plan to do it for the rest of my life! ☺️
.
And it begins by sharing our healing stories so others can benefit and heal as well!
.
Cheers to you all

In case you guys missed it, this is my before and after for my eczema, I’ll be posting a YouTube video about it tomorrow so keep an eye out for it! It’s amazing looking back and seeing the pictures side by side. Can’t believe that was my skin only a few months ago! With the help of @biologiserum + @eczema.life I was able to get my skin under control You can read about it in the Daily Mail too, I’ve linked it on my Instastories, or you can read my old post on it P.S. just wanted to address one of the comments, I find that having acrylics/SNS helps with scratching as they’re blunt compared to natural nails=less damage to skin

If you’re going through a steroid withdrawal there are ways to make it less intense and easier and actually do it.
This is Christianne from Netherlands and her story of getting off many drugs she’s been taking for years and she thought, she would never be able to actually live without them ever. During one of our coaching calls she said that she is worried “whom am I going to be without my steroids and my itch?”
Christy is still in the process and her final result is on the way, but this is amazing achievement in the middle of the journey.
“It takes at least 47 months to heal a 47 years old eczema-problem. I am very thankful that Ullenka was at my side the first 9 months of reversing this total-body-skin problem. With the program of Ullenka it was possible to reduce the topical steroid and oral steroids to zero and start the natural healing off the liver, kidneys, glands and of course the skin. Healing from eczema and going through Topical Steriod Withdrawal is very, very painful on emotional, spiritual and physical levels. But I did it! The program of Ullenka helps to make the transition as smooth as possible. To slow down the detox through fruit, veggies, herbs and life-style changes. 2 years ago I tried to do this TSW on my own. But it was life threatening at a number of occasions. I was at a point of no hope and wanting to end my life. I am now very glad that I did not give up. I told myself that I endured it 45 years and I could try another 5 years looking for the proper help. I am so lucky to find Ullenka. She is a beacon of hope and endless support. I am not fully healed, but I know the way to get there. One step at the time.”

~EMPTIES • swipe through for before&after ~You know something is great when you use every last drop!! If you remember my instastories a while back you guys may remember me talking about @biologiserum ✨ at the time I feel like I was going through TSW and it really helped put out the fire. If you swipe through you’ll see my progress pics (all with no makeup, the 3rd one I only have a bit of mascara and brow gel on) March 15 was the very first day I used Biologi and you can see how much of a difference 4 days made! I used Bk serum on my entire face and Bf on my hands/body. I must also mention that I cleaned up my diet a lot (no: gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, coffee or alcohol and also cut out some veg high in salicylates) and I took @eczema.life Skin Friend supplements daily. I’m a firm believer that if you only treat something externally you’ll be treating it eternally ✨ pretty sure Biologi also do little travel sizes too so you guys can tryout a bit before committing to full size

Those of you who are following my journey know I went through Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) after 13 years of applying hydrocortisone creams and 15 years of using doctor prescribed steroid creams to treat my minor eczema.
.
Two months after I became pregnant with my daughter, I had a major flare up of eczema that covered my entire back. My doctor filled a new prescription of steroid cream and told me it was safe to use while pregnant. Shortly after my daughter was born, the eczema returned with a vengeance. It covered my entire body to the point where the ends of my big toes split.I couldn’t bend my arms. The pain was intense and the never-ending unscratchable itch was unbearable. I started to lose my hair. I had insomnia and night sweats. The steroid cream stopped working. This was the start of TSW and my body was going through a major detox, but I didn’t know it yet. I felt lost, confused, defeated, and depressed. How could I to raise my daughter when I could barely take care of myself?
.
Exactly two years ago this month, my life changed forever. I met two women, strangers, at a fully raw restaurant. These angels divulged their own healing success stories made possible by following the advice of Anthony William, the Medical Medium. I raced home that night, bought his first book, and two days later I was drinking celery juice. It was divine intervention at work.
.
Fast forward to today and I am a completely different person in mind, body and soul. I am not 100% healed but I now know the truth behind my eczema! And I finally know what to do about it!#medicalmedium
.
My 3 year old daughter has eczema, and I’ve made it my mission to share with others the steps we are taking to heal naturally. I will never fault my own mother for not seeking out this information because it didn’t exist when I was a kid. But now that I am a mom, I cannot be silent with this knowledge while others out there are seeking answers.
.
I want adults and kids with eczema to know you don’t need to suffer. Topical steroid creams are not your only option. You deserve to heal permanently and completely. You deserve to be free!
3 YEAR HEALING ANNIVERSARY
It’s been 3 years since I began my healing journey. After being continuously failed by the health care system, I had to be my own advocate and find a way out of my suffering. Basically save my own life.
I quit steroid creams and went into a brutal drug withdrawal. Unbearable suffering for months and months on end.
1 and a half years into steroid withdrawal I was ready to fully commit to @medicalmedium . From his books & radio shows I learned the real root cause to my ailments and what steps to take. A few months into it I was finally experiencing true healing for the first time.
My eczema is about 80% healed now. And literally 100’s of my other aliments are healing as well.
I don’t spend day and night itching and scratching myself raw, trying to convince myself to live another day. I shower without pain. No nerve pain in my skin. No more severe insomnia and being so sleep deprived it made me hallucinate and be stuck in sleep paralysis for what felt like hours.
From having fatigue so debilitating I couldn’t stand up for a longer period of time (and my skin would crack open if I moved), couldn’t make myself food or go out for a walk — I nowadays dance & work out 2-4 times a week and go for walks almost every day.
My healing has had many ups & downs (still does), and it has taken every ounce of strength & dedication in me to get to where I am today. It didn’t happen overnight, it took me 3 years to get here and I’m still very much healing. But compared to where I’ve been — this is heaven.
Every second of suffering, WORTH IT!
I eliminated all the MM listed “no foods” and replaced it with fruit & vegetables in abundance, celery juice, heavy metal detox smoothie. Learned how to support my dear liver with a low-fat plant based diet.
A huge part of my healing has also been mental/emotional. I’ve had to change my mentality, work through blockages and past trauma. Release old limiting beliefs. Rebuild faith & trust in my body’s ability to heal. And most importantly continuing to find compassion and having patience with myself, my body & this healing process. Every single day.
