Searching for a cure

After being told that the conventional medical profession could do no more for me, I continued my search for a cure. During 2000-2003, I worked for the City of Cape Town co-facilitating Managing Diversity courses. I was astounded by how many of the course participants identified with my health story and also suffered from immune impaired symptoms. By the end of 2003 my health deteriorated to the extent that I was medically boarded and I had to move in with my Mom because I could not cope on my own anymore.

My search for a solution however continued and with the support of my carers and family and friends I was able to work from home by changing my focus from mainly presenting courses to developing educational material (for more than 25 courses to date). Although the costs to manage my medical condition were substantial, I miraculously earned and received enough money monthly to cover my financial obligations. By 2008, my, progressively increased intolerance of different types of food meant I could eat less and less which made me realize that I urgently needed to find a solution for the infection in my body.
