To Tell Or Not To Tell… That Is The Question!
As I have already discussed in my article on Candace Pert, one of the main healing factors is having a strong reason for healing. Motivation is key.
Kelly Turner [1; see also my post here on this subject] outlined that you should have a strong reason for living/healing. However, she did not discuss whether one’s reasons for healing should be shared or not.
I was unsure whether or not I should tell you my reasons for healing my Type 1 Diabetes. There seems to be a large amount of psychology research out there saying that I should NOT say… That it can decrease motivation by doing so [2].
On the other side of this coin, though, is the fact that I have decided to be fully open about my process towards healing, so that you can feel empowered to do it too. Revealing the facets of my motivation therefore sheds more light on my process and the conditions within which my healing takes place.
On top of that, I am hugely stubborn. I don’t like taking no for an answer. I also do not, not, NOT like showing myself up. If I say I’m going to do something, I ain’t backing out of it. Particularly when I’ve broadcast it to the world! Accountability really rocks for me…! So here goes…
My Reasons For Healing My Type 1 Diabetes
- This is my purpose in life. I feel that the experiences I have gained throughout my life, both inside and outside of medicine, have set me up for this path. I am now coming into my own by following it.
- My daughter nearly became diabetic, being considered 'pre-diabetic' by doctors at one point. If she does cross that threshold in the future, I want to be able to offer her a way of healing, rather than just a method of treatment.
- I would like to help convert medicine into a more holistic discipline that can offer the very best mutlifaceted treatments to all that need them.
- I would like to feel healthy and well during as many moments as possible in my life.

Again thank you! I have my reasons as well. Our thought processes are similar. Here is to the journey of healing.
Hi Liz,
Thank you for your kinds words. I honestly believe that we all have similar thoughts because our bodies/minds/souls are all pointing us towards true healing… And now we’re starting to listen! I’d love to hear about your journey as you continue on your path to healing.
