My Story
WELCOME EVERYONE AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY HEALING JOURNEY
My name is Darla White and I am wife and mother here in the Sunshine State. I have 3 wild, sweet, free thinking and adventurous teenagers. My children, husband and parents have been praying for my healing for years and I want to Thank them for always keeping me in their prayers.
I know you have a story in you. While thinking about your story think of how you want it to end. Most of us have different journeys but our path is the same if you want true healing. Start writing everything down in a journal (what you ate, how you feel physically, emotionally etc.) so as time goes by you can look back to see how far you have come. It will really encourage you to keep going and stay focused.
Childhood/Teens
Born in Louisiana I loved anything fried because that was my environment. Fish fry was my favorite and it brought our families together to fellowship. Like most kids I ran around playing outside and ate the Standard American Diet (SAD). No child thinks about bad food choices when you're young and I was no exception.
I was diagnosed with scoliosis and started developing serious Constipation issues during my preteens. My grandma noticed my constipation when I went to visit her. She would give me suppositories and tell me to stay in the bathroom until it worked.
This was just the beginning of my struggles. During my pre teens/teens I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and the doctors put me on birth control to help but they didn’t work and took myself off after a year.
The Start of
Bad Eating Habits
20’s-30’s
In my 20’s I went to several specialist for my GI issues and the doctors only pushed drugs on me. They would say things like “You will be on medication the rest of your life” and I would reply why would I take medication for the rest of my life if they don’t even work. The constipation was so severe I started taking laxatives and herbal teas. They worked for awhile but I had to keep increasing the amount and I had to designate one day a week that I called my “Poopy day”. I had to be near the toilet all day so there were not any accidents and I lived like this for years. I started going to Colonics once a week for relief and my Chinese Doctor always tried to give me advice. I think back and remember him telling me about my bad food choices. I always thought Nah that couldn’t have anything to do with my Constipation. During this time, I started having anxiety attacks, Insomnia and depression. The doctors were right there to treat the symptoms. Their medications made things worse plus caused me to gain weight which stressed me out even more.
I had my gallbladder removed and Endometriosis surgery in my late 20’s. A year after my surgery I became pregnant but lost the baby at 6 months. A few months before my 30th Birthday I gave birth to my first Child Mazzie Joy, two years after Mazzie I had Chaz and then two years after that I gave birth to my last child Piper Bliss. My mid wife talked me into tying my tubes because Piper and I almost died this last delivery. I had complications with birth with each child because I had “Placental Abruption”.
Placental Abruption:
Placental abruption (abruptio placentae) is an uncommon yet serious complication of pregnancy. The placenta develops in the uterus during pregnancy. It attaches to the wall of the uterus and supplies the baby with nutrients and oxygen.
Placental abruption occurs when the placenta partly or completely separates from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery. This can decrease or block the baby's supply of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother. Placental abruption often happens suddenly. Left untreated, it endangers both the mother and the baby.
Rollercoaster Ride
40’s
There were so many times in my life I wondered why I couldn’t eat without pain or being bloated. I would see people eating whatever they wanted too and then laughing about running to the bathroom after eating. I had many days in pain where water made me bloated. I tried every medication they gave me plus some that weren’t approved yet. I was always excited thinking this will be the one that works, but nothing ever happened.
Below are some of my Gastrointestinal testing Procedures:
-
Several Colonoscopy
-
Sigmoidoscopy
-
Barium Enema
-
Barium Swallow
-
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
-
Upper Gastrointestinal series
-
Esophageal Motility study
-
Endoscopies
-
CT Scans, X-Rays
-
Testing Digestive System, esophagus, stomach, small intestines and etc……
My GI doctor informed me that there was nothing left that they could do for me. Not Great to hear but they referred me to the Mayo Clinic so I still had some hope. The Mayo Clinic said you have “Colon Failure” and the only thing we could do is remove your colon and some intestines. I would need a permanent colostomy bag but their other concern was my motility and not eliminating into the bag. My grandma who is 93 has a Colostomy bag and Oh boy does she dislike that thing. I just knew this is not what I wanted so I declined the surgery.
After 20 plus years of using laxatives the laxatives stopped working. I was taking 15 plus laxative pills at a time and was just doubled over in pain and occasionally I was lucky enough to throw up. I had wanted to go the natural path but nothing seemed to work in the past. I had some Natural Practitioners tell me I needed more iron, magnesium, more water, more fiber more this and that. Absolutely nothing worked and I was constantly in pain, bloated and unable to eat and then started struggling with swallowing. After I got off the phone with the Mayo Clinic I was at my lowest point. I knew I didn’t want to die and I didn’t want to leave my 3 children behind.
Bad News
But Trusting God
I literally got on my knees and prayed to God for guidance. I remembering my husband calling around to every Colonics (Colon hydrotherapy) that he could find. During this time, I laid in bed crying and praying. He finally got in touch with someone who was a God send to me and my family. Her name is Lydia Nash owner of Beachside Colonics in Ormond Beach, Fl. After
speaking to her on the phone I knew God sent her to me. We meet for the first time and she said my colon needed extra support but it is still working! These words of encouragement gave me so much HOPE. We knew it would take some time, but Thank God he
gave me more time.
She mentioned a few things that opened the doors to my journey of healing. Sometimes when you are in so much pain and despair it’s hard to think about anything else. I went to the bookstore and bought a new Bible and started journaling. This was food for my soul and it gave me so much peace and it kept my mind on good and positive things.
I love the scripture Isaiah 40:31; But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
I was already plant-based at this time but still struggling. I started doing a lot of research and found a juicer on Instagram that went through a lot of the same health issues I was going through. He’s Instagram is “Jeffjuices” and he is honest, funny and inspiring. A short time after that I found John Rose who speaks a lot about a solid food vacation, fruit and fasting. There is so much misguided information being pushed on us a perfect example is “The food pyramid” we were taught in school. They considered this “eating right” according to the USDA.
After I started juicing and eating raw I found Dr. Robert Morse who changed how I saw dis-ease and illness. He spoke of our lymphatic system and explained the cause of dis-ease. What we put into our body is CRUCIAL to healing and staying healthy no matter what our genetic weaknesses are. He spoke about Iridology being the window to our body. I knew I had to find an Iridologist to help with my healing process. There was so much going on and I knew I was missing something and I couldn’t connect the dots on my own.

Answered Prayer
After, my Iridology reading I finally had guidance and direction to my healing journey. When I first read my analysis, I was lost but I kept reading it and watching Dr. Robert Morse videos until it made sense. I would always say I wish there was a machine that could scan my body and figure out what is wrong with me and Iridology was that machine for me. Over time I started feeling better and I wasn’t bloated as much, and my brain fog started getting better. I went through a lot of stages during detoxification, but it had to happen if I wanted true healing.
Iridology, fasting, detoxing, fruits, eating raw, herbs and healthy lifestyle choices had changed my life. I knew I wanted to become a certified Iridologist to help other people with their healing journey. Now I am here today to tell you what worked and what didn’t for me. I am so blessed and humbled to have gone through this process of healing. I know now that I went through this horrible experience so that I am now able to help others heal. It was a very traumatic experience, but without it I wouldn’t have an awesome testimony to help others. It was a very lonely journey at times but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It took us years to get to this point of lymphatic congestion so we can’t think it will be a quick fix but thankfully we are still here, each day is one day closer to a complete healing.
I just want to reach out and say I want to help you through your healing journey, and You are not alone.
