When a vaccination which was supposed to heal her poliomyelitis went wrong, Miss Adie was told she would use crutches all her life. Reflecting on the humbling events in her life, she shares us how each one can stand better, aided by our own crutches.
Guadalupe Isidro or simply, Ms. Adie to her students, graduated with a degree in Philosophy in De La Salle University. Her undergraduate thesis, titled "An Existential Triumph: An Analysis on the Death of the Significant Other", obtained the highest possible university grade. She is currently serving as Miriam College's Campus Minister and Professor in Theology.

ReplyDeleteI’ve been living with Parkinson’s disease for some time, and nothing I tried seemed to make a lasting difference—until I began the herbal treatment from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I was skeptical at first, but after about four months, I started to notice real improvements. My tremors became less frequent, my stiffness reduced, and my balance and coordination gradually began to improve.
For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my body and daily life. I can move more freely, sleep better, and even enjoy simple activities again without constant discomfort. The changes have been truly uplifting—both physically and emotionally.
If you're exploring natural options for managing Parkinson’s, I genuinely recommend giving this a try. It’s been a life-changing experience for me.
