Family Health Revolution, the Book! Ready to Order, Ready to Read NOW!

Family Health Revolution: The Definitive Approach to Elevating Family Health is finally here!

 

I just don’t have it in me this morning to pour my heart out about what has transpired to get this book into your hands over the last 4 years (when I started putting the writing into a book), or is it over the last 6 years (when I started writing about health for the public), or has it really been over the last 9.5 years (since my daughter was diagnosed and my path veered wildly from the manicured course into the rough). I am actually done with hearing myself talk about this. I am done with hearing myself introduce the ideas. It’s time to deliver the goods. Plus, the book says it all, and I don’t want to repeat myself.

 

But I will say this: This book is important. Really important. Because health is everything, because health is not what many of us think it is, and because maintaining or reclaiming health will take both small steps that families can take now as well as a complete and powerful revolution. It is the small steps together that make up this revolution I speak of.

 

With this book, my goal is to empower families to use lifestyle medicine to overcome disease, illness, and discomfort, demedicalize family health, slow down fast-paced modern family life, reduce stress, and return whole families to the ease of wellness, naturally.

 

The book serves as a reference guide and as a reorientation of how to attain health. It is a resource full of guidance and actionable steps. It will also help shift the consciousness of everyone reading it to a functional, holistic understanding of healthit opens the door to what health actually means and goes into great detail about how to attain it.

Carla lives on an acreage in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, where she works from a home office with families from all over the world on the healing from conditions such as, Autoimmunity: Type 1 Diabetes, PANDAS/PANS/Autoimmune Encephalitis, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity; Asthma, Allergies, Eczema, and Reactivity; ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Learning Disabilities; Depression, Anxiety, Mental Health Disorders, Eating Disorders, ODD; Other Neurological Conditions; Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, and Metabolic Disorders; Untangling Mystery Symptoms, Complex Cases, and Co-Morbidities (having more than one condition); Mold Illness; Multiple Chemical Sensitivity; Lyme; Other Infection; and Addictions. Carla is on a revolutionary mission to empower families to transcend our new normal of ill health and chronic disease.

Saving Her Son From PANDAS

When her son started exhibiting sudden and disturbing psychiatric symptoms, Heather Korbmacher had no idea that everything was about to change for her family.

Currently, thousands of parents are confounded and distressed by a dizzying and horrifying array of symptoms caused by an outcropping of neuropsychiatric disorders caused by pathogens. There are many infectious agents that can create severe neural inflammation and autoimmunity to the brain, and in Heather’s son’s case, it was a common childhood infection: strep.

Heather’s experience was often terrifying and lonely, and it was only her fierce determination that enabled her to get her son well. She had to ignore what many professionals were telling her (that her son was mentally ill), find the cause and the help they needed to address a condition that is not uncommon but grossly misunderstood, ignored, and sometimes outright denied. After completing and succeeding in her harrowing mission, Heather wrote a book to do all she can to make sure others can find the answers and the help they desperately need.

This book is not a clinical guide, but just as importantly (and perhaps moreso), it is a mother’s account of what she did to recover her son. It is an exceptional resource and inspiration for clinicians and parents, alike.

 

 

I had the honour and privilege of both editing the book and writing one of the two forewords. Here is what I wrote:

“When I sat down to read Heather Korbmacher’s book What Happened to My Child?, a riveting account of the author’s son’s intense struggle with PANDAS/PANS/AE and her heroic journey to heal him, I didn’t stop until I was finished.  I was educated by her medical explanations; I was moved by the pain her experiences caused her; I was inspired by the fact that, although she never knew what to expect, she got up every day to face whatever was to come.  I call Heather a hero, but she would tell you that she just did what she had to do, what she chose to do, that the word that would best describe her would be mom.

What Happened to My Child? is a book about hope, strength, and determination; and it is also about the pain, fear, worry, and exhaustion that is inevitable when our children get sick, struggles that are all part of the healing process.  It is about those pivotal moments that show us parents in no uncertain terms that nothing you have imagined for your life or for the lives of your children will ever go perfectly as planned; we just find it within ourselves to handle whatever life throws our way.  It is how one mother simultaneously hung on with formidable grip and focused with unwavering vision, while at the same time, had to let go of what she had foreseen as the perfect life, to let go of what her family’s future, their focus, their everyday existence was going to be.  Not stopping there, however, we readers get to witness how their family then transcends the new expectations that could have come out of their devastating difficulties.

Heather Korbmacher is no victim: she is a revolutionary mama who would not give up, who knew there were answers even when no one solution was the panacea or cure, even when doctors and practitioners could not or would not help, even when she was told that PANDAS/PANS/AE did not exist, even when various therapies did nothing or made things worse.  This book is not only about strength, it goes beyond that: it is about love, hope, and recovery. It is an essential message every mother or father with a child who has serious health challenges needs to read and take, not only to heart, but also to spirit.

Heather’s story is about making it through the storm, adjusting to an ever-changing new normal, and then recreating yet another normal as they continue to reclaim their son’s health, to reclaim their family life, and take the power into their own hands to create a brighter future for their own family and for other families like theirs. A phoenix rising from the ashes.”
