According to the Autoimmune Association, there are more than 100 known autoimmune diseases affecting over 50 million Americans today. The question is why. Is it perhaps because we focus only on conventional protocols that consist of pharmaceutical drugs and countless surgeries? Are we holding ourselves back from true healing by limiting our approach to methods that merely serve to suppress our symptoms rather than address the root causes of disease? These are the questions Marla Miller asked herself as she paved her personal path to healing from her own autoimmune condition. Determined to escape a life of simply managing her symptoms with the aid of harmful drugs, she spent three years delving into the world of alternative medicine to find real answers - as well as a healthy version of herself. After discovering the collective healing benefits of shamanism, beneficial herbs and plants, truly healthy foods, proper testing, and the power of love and meditation, Marla was able to declare herself free of all symptoms and pain associated with autoimmune disease. Today, Marla hosts the Open-Minded Healing podcast, where she continues to cultivate an empowered community of self-healers. She also remains steadfast in her pursuit of progressive alternative healing methods, sharing insights from her cross-country travels in hopes that other chronic sufferers might find the same hope and healing she found for herself.
