BE STRONG AND FIGHT💚

Let me tell you a story... 

For many years I have been in pain and suffered. I suffered in silence because I never wanted to tell people how much pain I was really in. To be honest I was raised to be tough, so I figured not talking about it would make me tough. I was raised by nothing but fighters and warriors. I had to fight! Well after 13 years of chronic pain; I finally got some answers. I suffered from Superficial Venous Insufficiency (SVI) and May Thurners Syndrome(MTS.) MTS is very common in Latina women. SVI affected my blood flow to my veins in my legs. My legs were slowly starting to not work properly. MTS affected my pelvis (abdomen.) I ended up having to get a stent put in my iliac vein. My aorta was compressing my vein by 90%. I was only living 10% of life, for who knows how long. This was very painful and caused; lack of blood flow back to my heart, lungs, and brain. My symptoms were: extreme sharp shooting pain in my legs and in my pelvis, restless leg syndrome, swelling, memory loss/confusion, constant headaches, chronic fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain, severe digestive problems. Also swelling in my abdomen, numbness, tingling in my hands, and my feet. My oxygen levels were dropping to 84 at night. I was on oxygen at night for a year and a half. My whole body was in hypoxemia, which is low oxygen in your blood. All of these issues were caused from lack of blood flow. I spent 13 years in and out of doctor's offices, multiple CT and MRI scans, blood work, and years of severe pain. My illness made me have to put my dreams and goals on hold. This pain was literally crippling me! It was hard for me to run, walk, stand, and focus. Working and being a single mother of two was definitely a challenge. I had no choice though. I had to get up every day and put a smile on my face and do what I had to do for my boys. I'm a solandera which means a (female soldier.) I don't back down!!! My lioness pride would never let me. My dad was Able John Herrera, the strongest man in the world! The only thing that helped my pain and circulation was when I laid down. I was sleeping 16 hours a day because I was so exhausted. Not only was it physical pain it was also mentally and emotionally. I have been made fun of for having a big swollen belly. People would laugh at me when I wasn't able to walk. It's important to be kind, you don't know what people are really going through. I've had many doctors fail me and bully me for my weight. Some would make comments that I was just lazy and needed to lose weight. Most of the doctors were just trying to prescribe me some kind of pill. Doctors had no idea that I gained weight because of my lack of blood flow and movement. Also I couldn't breathe when I exercised. I would have asthma attacks. My mental confusion and memory loss caused me to lose jobs and relationships. l would forget my kids' events and missed out on life. I used to be a long distance runner and I wasn't able to run for about 7 years. I never had a medical diagnosis for anyone of these symptoms. I began to lose Hope and Faith in the medical field. I did the research myself. I ended up studying the human body and searched for my own answers. I spent many late nights reading, learning, and studying to stay alive. I did so much research, I could be a doctor. I went to school for holistic medicine and herbology and kept myself going with a holistic approach. This is so important for everybody to know. So many people suffer in silence from chronic syndromes and diseases. Take other people's pain into consideration. These illnesses can cause people to become disabled and crippled if left untreated. Mentally this can break somebody. I suffer from borderline personality disorder, anxiety and PTSD. It was very difficult to keep my vibrations high. I fought every day with myself to keep a smile on my face and stay positive. The only thing that has kept me going mentally, emotionally, and physically was plants! I used cannabis, CBD, and herbs. The power of prayer and God were my medicine. Plants are thy medicine. This is why I have dedicated my life to hemp/cannabis. I truly believe that people who are a part of the movement of cannabis/hemp are lightworkers! We are part of the movement and want to help be the change in people's lives. We have complete Hope and Faith in this plant. A dear friend of mine (John) who is an MRI tech. He viewed the scans in my abdomen because the doctors ignored it. John and his colleagues found the answer to my prayers. After my stent was put in my iliac vein in my abdomen and several sclerotherapy procedures in my legs; I feel like a million bucks!! I have energy, I can breathe, no swelling, and my mind is sharp. Now I can continue with my dreams and goals! Hemp 303 is my passion, I quit all my jobs to dedicate myself to the company. I truly believe I can help change the world with my knowledge. Please don't ignore your health. I shared my story because I have a voice and it needs to be heard! Speaking up could possibly save somebody else's life. A lot of people think they could never suffer from this but it can happen to anyone, at any age. It's important we keep moving and never stay stag for too long. Making noise and raising awareness is what I'm promoting. God and the universe is good!! I manifested and prayed for so many years to find answers with my health and now they are here!!! Yes I might have endured 13 years of severe pain but I feel like God made this happen for a reason, so that I can help others and guide them. I feel like you have to experience pain in order to help others through the same pain. I am very grateful and blessed. Cheers to living a healthy, happy, joyful life full of abundance and love. I get a second chance to live!! I felt like a caterpillar trapped in its cocoon. Now I'm a butterfly, transformed, reborn, and ready to fly!!!!!! 🦋🙏❤️

LOVE,

CEO OF HEMP 303
