Episode #34: Healing Autoimmune Disease & Cancer, part 1

When you look at Sam Norman today you would never guess that she has endured over 30 years of chronic health crisis.

Since the first year of her life she has been in constant companionship of doctors. At age 1, she was diagnosed with severe digestive challenges. Hashimoto’s disease was diagnosed at age 13, a vascular autoimmune diagnosis came at age 27, thyroid cancer at 31. She has had seven surgeries throughout her life including a brain surgery at age 9. She was convinced several  times that she was going to die.

Her case was so interesting, the doctors asked her to be a “case study”. She agreed but started feeling like a number.

Growing up in a loving family of medical practitioners, with  her parents being an MD and a nurse, her treatment plan included all but Western medical protocols until the age of 21. Western medicine saved her life yet she was far from being healed.

When she got the cancer diagnosis at age 31 she hit rock bottom. And the only place to go when you sink that low is to rise up. Cancer led her to seek out other avenues for support, other healing methods, a different viewpoint. What she yearned for was to been seen, to be asked “How is Sam?”

Tune in to hear Sam’s heartwarming, and incredible story of healing.
