Grammy Award Winner, Mika Urbanaik's Alcohol & Drug Green Recovery Testimonial

Grammy Award Winner Mika UrbaniakMy name is Michelle Urbaniak, and I am 30 years old. I had been diagnosed as an alcoholic and with bi-polar disorder, and had been suffering for the last ten years with various symptoms. Severe depression, mania, paranoia, mood swings, insomnia, anxiety, lack of concentration, to name a few. I had managed to quit drinking with aa for a few years, during which I relapsed many times. My experience with AA wasn’t fulfilling, as the idea and concept of having a disease for the rest of my life, kept me in victim mode, contributed to my depression, and although I was doing the program diligently, my symptoms persisted. I went through the conventional medicine way for 3 years, and was prescribed 3 very strong medications, that left me living as a zombie, gaining huge amounts of weight, and leaving me dulled. I have tried so many paths; Christian Science, many different kinds of therapy, and with each new method, I was left disappointed and searching further. This journey has been a tumultuous one, but I kept my heart and mind open in searching for something, a path that not only made sense to me, but that actually worked. I came across Genita’s youtube video about AA and it clicked. The power of food on the brain and one’s emotions as well as the avoidance of the “invisible crazy makers” wasn’t a totally new concept to me, as there had been people in my family who healed themselves from very dangerous diseases naturally, however, I had never heard about the connection between food and addiction and how certain nutritional deficiencies and toxic chemicals in our food and environment can lead to addictive biochemistry, the condition that leads to addiction. Immediately I knew that Genita was on to something real. I felt that her truth was THE truth, no hocus pocus, true science. I read the book, reserved a place in her clinic in Costa Rica, and that was that. My new life had begun from that moment. I received an answer for every single symptom I was dealing with, and in a matter of a few days, I was already feeling calmer, more peaceful and alive. My brain started to function normally, and with each day, everything was becoming more and more clear to me. We are truly what we put into our bodies, and we transform into the true spiritual beings we were meant to be when we clear ourselves of all the toxins. The program is truly mind blowing. With diligence, commitment and a true passion for living the way of truth, it is not only possible, it is so rewarding to know, that I am not powerless, that I can create the life that I want for myself, that truly there is nothing we can’t accomplish when we have the information we need- not just the accurate information about health and healing addictive biochemistry that sales science and subjective dogmas have replaced in traditional rehabs but also how I developed and fostered an addiction so it never happens again. It’s truly a toxic world out there full of many invisible crazy makers and knowing how to avoid them is the key in never developing symptoms or cravings again that I would want to self-medicate. I am forever grateful to Genita for her years of work, her total committed spirit to the health and good of others, and to the knowledge and healing she was able to share with me during my stay at her clinic. Thank you to her and to all the wonderful people on her staff, for giving me my life back. My spirit is shining! Wishing you all the courage and openness to give yourselves the chance to live the best life you can and join the 101 program family. All the best! Science Brings in a New Day for the Treatment and Cure for Addiction
