Hooray for Shelley- She’s AIH free after months on the CURING COURTNEY protocol. Even though her AIH was a mild case, Shelley from Canada would prefer to remain anonymous…but she wants to let you know THE DIET AND VITAMINS WORK!!! Just try it. I’m so proud of her courage and determination!!! Love you girl! Here’s her story…
I went in for my yearly physical in January of 2015. The Dr called and told me my liver enzymes were elevated but not to worry. We would check them in 3 months and they should return to normal. He told me to avoid alcohol and eat healthy and all should be good. In April I went in for my bloodwork and not much had changed. At that point I had a CT scan and a fibroscan done. Nothing was found so I saw a hepatologist. I have had hashimoto’s for many years and the hepatologist told me that auto immune diseases travel in packs and because I am a middle aged woman with an existing autoimmune disease I most likely have AIH. I was devastated. He told me not to worry. He said that my case was mild and after doing some tests he would most likely prescribe a ‘little’ prednisone. I immediately searched for information on this disease and found Denise. I emailed her and honestly, I did not expect a response. I figured she would be way too busy to answer all the emails she must receive. Well, she answered within an hour!!! She gave me hope. I started taking all the supplements she suggested. In the meantime I tested positive for smooth muscle antibodies which can indicate AIH. Denise told me not to worry. She encouraged me to keep going and take my supplements and eat well. I gave up gluten and dairy and focused on fresh real food. My numbers began to drop immediately. It’s has now been almost a year since this journey began. My enzymes have been normal for a few months now and my Dr has told me everything looks good. I still do not know if I had AIH but whatever I did have the supplements and diet in the Curing Courtney book healed me. I have adopted a new lifestyle thanks to Denise and have never felt better!
Your knowledge gave me hope but your emotional support meant even more. Not one Dr I consulted with throughout this ordeal gave me the support you gave me.
