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.
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’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.

You are deeply loved. Your body is capable. And your healing journey matters.
When you're living with ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura), it can feel like your life has been hijacked. The unexplained bruises, constant fatigue, fear of bleeding—it’s enough to make anyone feel defeated. But what if the most powerful healing tool isn’t a medication… it’s your mindset?
The Power of the Words You Speak
If you’re like many ITP warriors, you may have caught yourself thinking or saying:
- “I can’t live like this anymore.”
- “This is a horrible disease.”
- “My life will never be the same.”
- “I’ll be stuck with this forever.”
These thoughts may feel honest in the moment—but they can also become traps.
Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, teaches that our cells respond to what we believe. That means the way we think and speak about our health can literally shape the way our body heals. You’re not just dealing with platelets—you’re dealing with beliefs that either support your body… or sabotage it.
Flip the Script: Mindset Shifts That Encourage Healing
Let’s try something radical. What if you flipped the script?
Instead of saying:
❌ “I have a disease.”
Try:
✅ “I’m healing from a disease.”
❌ “I have a disease.”
Try:
✅ “I’m healing from a disease.”
Instead of:
❌ “This is ruining my life.”
Try:
✅ “This is challenging me to grow in strength and resilience.”
❌ “This is ruining my life.”
Try:
✅ “This is challenging me to grow in strength and resilience.”
Instead of:
❌ “There’s no hope.”
Try:
✅ “Hope may be quiet right now, but it’s still here.”
❌ “There’s no hope.”
Try:
✅ “Hope may be quiet right now, but it’s still here.”
This isn’t just semantics—it’s strategy. You’re choosing to speak life over your body instead of death. That matters.
This Is Not Toxic Positivity—It’s Healing Focus
To be clear, flipping your mindset isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s not about ignoring blood test results or pretending you're not afraid.
This is about acknowledging your pain while still choosing a path of possibility and purpose.
You can say, “This is hard” and still believe, “I can heal.”
You can cry and still declare, “I’m stronger than I feel today.”
Speak Life Over Your Platelets: A 7-Day Challenge
Want to try it? Here's a simple challenge:
👉 For the next 7 days, speak one hopeful, healing-focused statement out loud each morning.
Here are a few to get you started:
- “My body was created to heal.”
- “Every day, I’m moving toward better health.”
- “I am not defined by ITP.”
- “I choose hope, even when I don’t feel it yet.”
Even if you don’t believe the words at first, speak them anyway. Speak them until you do.
🌿 Faith for the Journey
If you’re a person of faith, it helps to remember that your mindset isn’t just a mental battle — it’s a spiritual one too. God sees your struggle and walks with you in it. When the road feels uncertain, His Word can anchor your heart and bring peace to your thoughts. You don’t have to face ITP or any health journey alone. As you speak hope over your healing, remember what God speaks over you — strength, purpose, and peace.
Here are a few verses I cling to:
- Isaiah 41:10 – “So do not fear, for I am with you... I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
- Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
- Psalm 103:2–3 – “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.”
Final Encouragement
You are not a victim of ITP. You are not broken beyond repair. You are a warrior in the middle of transformation.
Flip the script.
Choose healing.
Speak hope.
And watch your body begin to follow.
