Cedar Brown's Story

Summary

She recovered from ME/CFS, alongside POTS, mold illness, IBS and anxiety, using a combination of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), the Edison Effect Program by Anj Garneri, Trauma Healing Accelerated and somatics work, pacing, IFS parts work and mold remediation, after the Gupta Program never clicked for her earlier on. Cedar Brown was ill for about 5 years, from summer 2019 to summer 2024, reaching a low point where she was mostly housebound, unable to walk around the block most days, and limited to an hour or two of reading or screens. She says recovery has given her so much more than her health back, and describes completing a 42-mile Mt Hood trek and later a 155-mile backpacking trip as proof she was recovered with no going back. Her path included repeated crashes and setbacks, including a second mold exposure she had to remediate and a COVID-19 infection in fall 2024 that she recovered from in time to travel. She now works as a chronic-illness coach and created her own 5 Keys of Healing course; the story reports no relapse since recovery was established, only the setbacks that occurred along the way.
