WHY I BELIEVE REMISSION FROM ITP IS POSSIBLE: MY MANIFESTO OF FAITH AND HOPE
Why I Believe Remission from ITP Is Possible: My Healing Manifesto of Faith and Hope
If you’re living with ITP and wondering if healing is even possible, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—scared, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. But today, I stand on the other side of that valley, in remission, with a message burning in my heart:
Healing is possible.
Not just symptom relief. Not just temporary remission. True, deep, life-changing healing.
This is my personal healing manifesto—what I believe, what I’ve lived, and what I want you to know as you search for answers and hope.
I Believe the Body Was Made to Heal
Even when lab reports look grim, I believe your body is not broken—it’s communicating. Low platelets don’t mean your immune system has failed. It means it’s asking for help, for restoration, for a chance to reset.
I learned to stop fighting my body and started listening to it.

I Believe in Root-Cause Healing, Not Just Immune Suppression
Most conventional ITP treatment plans focus on suppressing the immune system. And while there may be moments where that’s necessary, I don’t believe that’s the only—or best—way.
I believe in working with the immune system:
  • Removing toxic triggers
  • Supporting the gut and liver
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Nourishing the body through anti-inflammatory foods and essential nutrients
For me, this meant combining natural therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle changes grounded in faith and intention.
I Believe in the Power of Faith
I didn’t walk this healing path alone. God was with me every step, guiding me to the right information, the right support, and the right mindset shift.
Healing from ITP is physical—but it’s also spiritual and emotional.
Fear and hopelessness are heavy burdens. But when we give those to God, we create space for peace, clarity, and healing to begin.
I Believe Words Matter
What we say over our bodies matters. For a long time, I repeated what I’d been told—“I’m sick. I have an incurable autoimmune disease.” But eventually, I started speaking life instead.
Now I say:
 🟣 “I’m healed.”
 🟣 “My body is resilient.”
 🟣 “I serve a God who still heals.”
I Believe Remission Is Real
Not just for me. For you. For others.
I’m not a doctor, but I’m someone who’s lived this and walked into remission with God’s help and a natural healing plan that supported my body instead of suppressing it.
My story isn’t the exception—it’s a reminder that there is hope.
You Are Not Alone
If you’ve just been diagnosed, if you’re feeling discouraged, or if you’re searching late into the night for anything that offers real answers—know this:
✨ You are not alone.
 ✨ You are not broken.
 ✨ There is hope.
 ✨ And healing is possible.

Hi, I’m Nina!

I'm an ITP warrior, author, wellness coach, and woman of faith who believes that a diagnosis doesn't have to define the rest of your story. 

My journey with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) began in 2003 with a platelet count of just 2,000, years of treatments, and eventually the removal of my spleen. After years of battling autoimmune disease, I reached remission—but I also discovered that healing was about much more than simply getting a diagnosis behind me.

My own journey led me to dig deeper into nutrition, stress, gut health, reducing toxic load, targeted supplements, essential oils, mindset, and faith. I became passionate about understanding not just what we can do to support our bodies, but why it may matter.

Today, I share what I've learned with other ITP warriors and people navigating chronic illness, helping them discover practical, whole-person ways to support their health and well-being.

I don't believe wellness is about finding a magic answer or doing everything perfectly. And I don't believe that ITP has no known cure means there is nothing you can do.

There is hope. There are choices. There are things we can learn and ways we can care for ourselves along the journey.
Most importantly, I've learned that healing is a journey—and you don't have to walk it alone.

I'm here to help you find hope, take empowered steps, and discover what's possible for your own healing journey.
