My name is Jayne Nelsen. My daughter, Lily, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in late September of 2009.
Right after Lily was diagnosed, we began our journey of searching for anything we could find on healing Type 1 Diabetes...99% of what we found offered no hope beyond insulin.
After talking with our chiropractor and finding some blogs (listed below), we decided to take a leap of faith and see how drastically changing our diet (yes, the whole family) would help our daughter....Thus began our healing journey. Not only healing our child, but our entire family.
We cleaned up our diet by eliminating processed foods, grains and most dairy (we stick to goat cheese for the most part).
The result? Lily was insulin free for a year and is now on very low doses of insulin.
We found a doctor that is not only encouraging Lily to stay on track, but is trying heal the core issues that may have contributed to her diagnosis.
We made it a year without insulin. And we still have hope that one day, she can heal. Until then, we are doing the best we can. This is our crazy journey.
Welcome to our blog.
Thanks so much for the update. I will pass it onto my daughter, who has had Type I Diabetes for almost 30 years.
