| Evelyn's Story... |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi, my name is Evelyn and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis(MS). MS is a chronic illness in which my own immune system is "attacking" my myelin sheath (the covering of nerves). There is an imbalance in my body/nervous system that is directly connected to my stress. Having been a vegetarian and now a vegan, I am able to follow a healthy lifestyle that has a direct impact on my stress level and MS recovery. I include yoga, meditation and mindfulness in my life as well. Living a vegan lifestyle is a major part of my healing puzzle. Veganism invokes a sense of respect and acknowledgement of Earth and ALL Earthlings. I stopped my medical "treatment" and have focused on healing myself the natural way, through eating healthy and stress-controlled living. I learn more and more each day about being Vegan & about the spiritual, economic, political and cultural links. Everything is connected. Truly healing and being healthy is my goal! |
