Sitting here today, Robin looks radiant. We’d never guess that she had ever suffered from chronic illness. And yet Robin used to struggle with symptoms such as headaches, dandruff, brain fog, forgetfulness, low thyroid function, chronic pain neck, arthritis, difficulty walking, extreme fatigue and depression. Doctors initially diagnosed her with an autoimmune disease. But even at a young age, Robin knew there was something radically wrong with the concept of her immune system attacking itself.
Determined to get better, she started by giving her immune system what it was craving, what it needed to function optimally. She included plenty of antimicrobial and antibacterial foods, such as herbs and spices, in her diet, in combination with other holistic treatments like aromatherapy. Although this helped her to feel better, the real turning point in her health was when she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Changing her diet and taking herbal protocols like the Cowden protocol got Robin back on track with her health, but she still struggled with fatigue and depression. When she started detoxing her body from heavy metals, her body healed and her health improved dramatically. Where she once found it hard to walk up a flight of stairs, Robin can now work 12 hour days, go out afterwards and still feel full of energy. She talks us through heavy metal chelation, the key issues to watch out for and how to detox safely.
Robin is organizing the Take Back Your Health Conference, and we’re looking forward to the many speakers who will be attending, such as Lisa Bronner who will talk about carcinogenic beauty products. A great selection of exhibitors is expected, handpicked by Robin, who selects only the best, most ethical companies. Holistic health, fitness, spirituality, supplementation, detoxification, business and more will be covered – we can’t wait to go!
