How I Reclaimed My Life

I came across the Mitochondrial Rescue protocols when I was 30 years old. I was in a very bad place health wise. I had been sick since I was about 12 years old with severe depression and chronic fatigue, which was getting worse as the years went by. I had visited many doctors, tried so many expensive treatments by the time I was in my 20’s, yet nothing made me feel better.

It was very upsetting to keep trying the things which many people had raved about – and to feel none of it worked for me. I even contemplated ending my life because I thought ‘if this is how I am going to end up, there is no point going on.’

I had been sick all my life, both physically and mentally, it affected every aspect of my life. My mental state was very erratic and I was often very paranoid and easily upset. I had no mental strength and no coping mechanisms. It was as if I wasn’t in control of my brain. I knew something was wrong, I just didn’t know how to ‘fix’ it.

I had suffered severe stress from a young age, I found myself constantly uncontrollably crying all throughout my teens. I had a terrible time in my twenties as my health got worse and my mental state continued to decline. At 25 I had been placed in a mental hospital for a short while. By the time I was almost 30, I was at my wits end, about to give up. Everyone I went to see, said that there was nothing wrong with me because I had ‘normal’ test results. I was told by a few psychiatrists that ‘I would just have to get used to how I was’.

Thank goodness I was introduced to the Mitochondrial protocols.

When I first had an HRV test done all those years ago, they were shocked that someone so young was so ill’. Although It was scary to hear that, it was also a relief to finally have someone who could show me the evidence that I was indeed in need of help. My body was unable to adapt to so much stress. The science behind the HRV test and the supplements were explained to me and it all suddenly started to make sense to me. Finally I had hope!

I have now been on the supplements for more than ten years. I can say without hesitation what they have done for my life is nothing short of miraculous.

Whilst it took me a while to respond to the protocols, I can clearly remember the day when I knew I was finally healing. I was on a trip to Morocco and was able to walk up a mountain path easily that would have been an utter impossibility in the past. I used to be so weak I couldn’t even put a duvet cover on by myself. I used to be so fatigued that a simple chore would wipe me out. I stayed on the couch or in bed most of the time. Being able to feel strong enough to walk up this path with ease was a huge deal for me. I knew I was finally healing.

My previous health issues caused huge problems for my partner too. He would have to miss out on going places, because I was ‘too tired’. I literally felt like I was 80 years old. Ironically my first HRV test showed that was the state of my organs!

I also discovered through the testing that my heart was damaged! I wasn’t surprised to hear this because I used to get very odd palpitations and on a few occasions had nearly blacked out.

After three months of being on the protocol my heart was completely normal and I have never had any issues with it since, if anything it is incredibly healthy.

Now I am 42, with my life going on a far more positive course since I started the mitochondrial protocols. After two years on the supplements, I had improved so much that I didn’t regard myself as ‘mentally unwell’ any longer. The paranoia had gone, the arguments with my husband had virtually disappeared! I finally had emotional strength and my life was far less chaotic.

The violent mood swings have stopped and I have more energy than ever before. Whilst today, I still could not run a marathon, I am able to walk wherever I need to and do gentle exercise.

What makes me so proud and is how I can attest to the benefits of the supplements, is that I am now a mother to two very healthy girls. What astounds me is the fact that I had two labours with zero problems.

The mid wife who was with me the first time I gave birth, would test my heart rate, then my daughters and marvel that both of us were showing ZERO signs of any stress. She said to me ‘Anna, in all my 25 years of midwifery, I have never worried LESS about a mother and baby this whole time’. She even stayed on after her shift ended to see my daughter being born. She said it was a very special birth.

My second labour was even better, it was much quicker, and had zero complications. This time there was no midwife to record anything, because I gave birth on my own at home as the baby came so quickly!

What I have since learnt is that the hypothalamus plays a HUGE role in giving birth. When it is functioning well, it is more likely that the mother giving birth will have a stress free experience! Knowing what the supplements do in the body leaves me in no doubt that they are the reason why I had these two amazing births.

I have since become very passionate about health and child well being. I have gone on to write a book ‘Toxic World Toxic People’ about the effects of toxicity on our health and now I also write health articles for a media company. I would never have been able to do this all those years ago. The Mitochondrial Rescue supplements literally gave me my life back. I tell everyone that is willing to listen what has happened to me. I have over the years sent many friends and loved ones to discover the protocol for themselves. Everyone should be on these if they want to live a long and healthy life.
