Asthma has been a part of my life since before I can remember, and I also have Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness that brings wide spread pain, sleep disorders and many other problems.

Shortly after getting married, my Fibromyalgia got really bad, leaving me often stuck in bed due to the pain. My asthma also got worse. What had changed? I was no longer living in the country, miles and miles from town. I now live 2.5 miles from a cement plant that burns tires.

In trying to find a way to help my Fibromyalgia and asthma I started reading everything I could. I knew I don’t want to just get on a lot of medicines that covered up the pain and other issues so I looked for the cause behind my problems and for natural ways to get better.

I learned that my Fibromyaglia could be caused by toxic chemicals that have built up in my body, maybe even pesticides. And even if chemicals weren’t the original cause, they make most, if not all, Fibromyalgia patients worse. Quickly I started clearing out my cleaners, personal care products and all the nasty things I had been using. Slowly I was getting better, my body was detoxing, and then I kept reading and learning about toxic chemicals being everywhere.

My health is now better than ever. I still have asthma and I still have Fibromyalgia but I’m not stuck in bed, I’m living my life! And now I’m on a mission to not only get toxic chemicals out of my body but to warn people of the dangers of these toxic chemicals. No one else should have to live with a life long illness because of toxic chemicals.
