Growing up in Colombia, my life was simple and uneventful until a tragic car accident changed everything. At 16 years old, I was invited on a trip to another city. Despite my mother's reservations, I was allowed to go on the condition that my older sister would accompany me.

As we hurried to make up time lost to rain, the driver lost control, and we crashed into a gate post. I lost consciousness and woke up to find myself with severe facial lacerations, a damaged cornea, and the loss of vision in my left eye. For years, I struggled emotionally and physically with my scars, the double vision, and the need for constant eye lubrication.

But I refused to let the accident defeat me. I became determined to research natural scar healing methods and the body's ability to heal through a healthy diet. This led me to become a vegetarian, and as I concentrated on the good vision in my right eye, I learned to read again. I made progress in healing my scars, which eventually faded, and even drove a car for the first time.

Although my physical health improved, I struggled to find emotional peace. It was not until I met my future husband, who saw past my scars, that I found love and the desire to start a family. However, my body was not ready, and I suffered a miscarriage. Devastated but determined, I researched ways to have a full-term pregnancy and turned to a pure food vegan diet. Through fasting, enemas, and colonics, I detoxed my body and found a new passion for eating natural foods in their natural state.

Finally, I became pregnant again and gave birth to a healthy son. Through my experiences, I learned the importance of a healthy diet in preventing and curing physical ailments. I am living proof that with perseverance and determination, physical challenges can be overcome.
