Woman Beats Incurable Disease with Medicine, Spirituality

Wayne, New Jersey, USA—Maureen Taylor almost let go.

It had been years since she started suffering bizarre symptoms no doctor could explain or diagnose correctly, and only a week since she found a doctor who had gotten it right. Her hands had hardened into swollen claws, her skin was hard and shiny, and her feet were enlarged. Her face was so rigid, she could barely open her mouth. She was losing her battle with Scleroderma, an auto immune disorder that forces the body to attack itself and overproduce collagen, hardening the skin like a rock, disfiguring her horrible and morphing her extremities into oversized paws.

“It was a Friday night, and I had a high fever, shaking with fever,” said Taylor, author of the autobiographical A Place To Go (www.maureenshealing.com). “I was trying to gobble baby aspirin into my mouth I could barely open. I remember struggling to get back upstairs, and I lay down in the guest room, with three or four pillows under my head. My heart was beating so hard and fast, and I felt like I was dying. I was thinking, ‘just let go,’ and another part of me kept saying, ‘Oh no you can’t.’ Then, I fell asleep, and somewhere in my unconsciousness, I had made a decision to hold on.”

Taylor’s story is less about a woman’s search for the proper medical treatment than it is about a woman who finds the strength and wisdom to marry her medical treatment with her journey of inner healing. Taylor not only took back her health, but she also took back her life. Read Article
