If you haven’t listened to Part 1 then I strongly suggest you do so. This is the story of the struggle of a person with chronic, debilitating anorexia that led to all sorts of other illnesses, and almost killed her. She endured this life for 40 years before literally finding her own way out of the dark hole. She talks candidly, and some of her stories are nothing short of horrific.

This is the true story of a woman who has spent 4 decades suffering from anorexia, OCD, self-harm, hair-pulling, cutting and schizo-affective disorder. She spent parts of her childhood locked away in a ward of the hospital as she withered away in her anorexic world she couldn’t escape from.

As an adult, still anorexic, she developed chronic fatigue, osteoporosis, prolapsed organs & hypothyroid (to name a few chronic illnesses) from her lack of nutrition. At 30 years old she weighed 75 lb (34 kg or 5.3 stone).

It’s easy for a healthy person to say that she should “just eat more”, but these illnesses are more than just physical; they are diseases of the mind, forcing the participant to watch helplessly as she falls apart from the inside out.

This story will have you bewildered with what Valerie coped with for 4 decades of her life, and it’s a miracle she survived. But survive she did, and eventually she found her own way out of the dark hole, DESPITE all the drugs & rehabilitation that the medical & psychiatric establishments dealt to her over the years.

I have divided our original conversation into 3 podcasts because it was 1 hour 35 minutes long, so now each of the 3 podcasts is about 35 minutes long. We delve deep into all her issues throughout her life, how they affected her, and how the current medical establishment’s methods just made her into a walking zombie.

This story miraculously has a happy ending… but you’ll need to listen to hear it! There is light at the end of this tunnel! If you suffer from any of Valerie’s chronic mental or physical illnesses, these 3 podcasts offer you the chance to finally get your life back.

I hope Valerie’s story can motivate other sufferers to climb their way out of their darkness! It’s a terrible world they exist in, where the only escape is while they sleep. Valerie’s journey leads the way to a truly remarkable, completely natural healing process.

In the coming weeks I will have other guests chatting about both mental & physical chronic illnesses; experts in their fields, so if you are interested, or you think it might help others, then please subscribe to this podcast; See Your Toes Again. This is a non-profit podcast, and I aim to help people get healthier, both emotionally & physically; you’ll be surprised with how similar both results (mental & physical health) are, and how simple the recipe to better health is!

Thank you,

Pete Robin
