This book is lovingly dedicated
to my best friend, my twin soul, and the love of my life, my daughter Jamishay for always making me want to become a better version of myself. When the world is trying to crush me down, you give me the strength to fight back and keep aiming high.

To the other love of my life, my mom Miladiys. Thank you for believing in me and being proud of me. Ive waited all my life to hear you say that.

To my three babies with paws, Lulu, TyTy, and Sophie, thank you for always surrounding me with unconditional love, kisses, and cuddles when I need it the most. I didnt rescue you, you rescued me.

And lastly, my baby girl with paws Suzy, RIP my beautiful Angel. I feel you watching over me. Just sit tight and wait for mommy in heaven.

I ve had the great pleasure of getting to know WiseBetty over the last year and learning about her incredible passion for helping others that struggle with finding real, helpful solutions for their autoimmune condition. She genuinely cares with deep heartfelt compassion as she focuses on healing one person at a time.

Im convinced that there is no better teacher or authority than one who actually healed themselves from Lupus or another autoimmune condition on their own. Compared to so many healthcare practitioners or coaches that only learned what was taught to them, WiseBetty offers a unique perspective as a health and wellness consultant and shares her valuable secrets to natural healing while teaching us how to attune ourselves to our bodies needs.

There really is nothing stronger than a woman that has rebuilt herself, and then takes the initiative to pave the way as a beacon of light for others. WiseBettys calling to inspire others deeply resonates with me because I too suffered for many years and healed myself from various health issues, including a near-death experience, while making significant clinical research breakthroughs and discoveries in the process. Suffering can be a blessing in disguise if it means offering hope and proven solutions in order to help others reach greater levels of health and vitality.

WiseBetty makes applying her personal recommendations easy to learn, practical and fun. Now is the time to put this information into action. The people in her tribe are nurtured like her own family and have gone on to develop healthier habits. Self-care is how you take your power back, and please remember that you cant pour from an empty cup. Take good care of yourself first and dare to begin.

Many blessings on your healing journey!

I Got You!

I was recently asked why I decided to write this book. It seemed like an easy question at the time, but I found myself struggling to come up with just one good solid answer, cause to be honest, I wrote this book for many reasons. I wrote this book, so I could have a record with a timeline of events that led to my Lupus diagnosis. I wrote this as a book of beginners remedies and recipes for healing. I wrote this book, so when Im no longer here, my daughter will have a safe place to turn when she experiences her own autoimmune flare-ups and episodes. But the one most important reason why I wrote this book is you. Youre the reason I wanted to share my story. Youre the reason why all these years of suffering will not be in vain. With no one to turn to for guidance when I first found out I had Lupus, I had to find ways to naturally heal myself on my own. With the increase of doctors visits and no health insurance, I basically had to be my own guinea pig and learn methods to self-heal. Its been a tough, hard, long, and lonesome journey, one that no one should travel alone, so I want you to remember something:

• When people tell you, Seriously, I think its all in your head, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When people ask, Depression? Why cant you just be happy? just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When people say, You sleep way too much, youre just lazy, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When doctors are saying, There is nothing wrong with you, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When doctors are saying, Its hormonal changes and stress, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When your doctor is misdiagnosing you for the fifteenth time, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When people tell you, I dont believe you, you dont look sick, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When people tell you, Youre just doing all this for attention, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When people accuse you of acting like a crazy hypochondriac, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When people accuse you of just not wanting to get any better, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

• When youre entertaining thoughts of suicide because of pain, just know

  I BELIEVE YOU.

When youre sitting in a dark room wondering who to turn to, just know I GOT YOU!

I decided to write this book to you because I want to invite you to join me on an amazing, powerful and fun self-healing journey.

By exploring delicious and easy ways to use your food as medicine, while incorporating science-backed natural nutrients and powerful healing remedies and supplements into your new daily life-style routine, you will once again discover what it feels like to live life pain free all over again. By the end of this book, you will not only be leaving with an arsenal of healthy healing information, but youll also be joining a strong support system of people on this journey with you.
