First For Women

“I got off 15 Rx medication­s!”

-

Lying in bed, too drained to get up, Shannon recounted all the ways her weakening health had robbed her of independen­ce. She could no longer hold a job, take care of her house or socialize with friends. I just want to get better, she thought. I just want the pain to go away.

For years, Shannon struggled with mysterious fatigue and health issues, including chronic strep, slow thyroid and stomach pains. Doctors didn’t know what was wrong but kept prescribin­g medication­s—15 in all. “Being sick is a long, lonely journey,” she says. “I can recall plenty of times when I lost hope.”

Learning about Anthony William’s

Medical Medium books was a turning point. Shannon discovered she had hidden Epstein-Barr virus that was contributi­ng to her health issues. She began eating healing fruit and veggies and drinking celery juice and a detox smoothie every day.

Within the first week, Shannon’s fatigue began to lift. Soon she shed 80 pounds, and for the first time in a decade, felt her strength build as her thyroid symptoms vanished.

Her doctor was amazed. “She told me how impressed she was that I’d gotten better so quickly,” says

Shannon, who is now off all her medication­s.

“Honestly, I never thought

I’d get well.

Now I’m living my best life!”
