Welcome to Pathway Back to Eden or Journey Back to Eden
|
Within the pages of the "Pathway to Eden" website you will find research in regards to: health information; Types of Coping Skills and Tools; Environment Education whether it be Body Environment, Household Environment, or caring for the Earth; Information and Ideas in which individuals, families and communities can contribute to the well being of their community and fellow citizens. The newsletter first started as a way to share my own healing journey. Back in 2008, I was clinically dead for approximately six to eight hours. And just as my remains were about to be cut into in order to harvest what could have been salvaged from my body now then a cadaver, I reanimated back to life. Thankfully I do not remember that moment clearly but only as a vague dream of a surgical rotary saw to my ankle; a vague small scar bares witness to the actual occurrence. |
And more thankfully, still, the incident shocked and intrigued the doctors so that they looked deeper into my case and informed me that my body suffered with Anaphylaxis and more shockingly that I had actually died many times and quite a few instances of comas had been as a result of Anaphylaxis. More than thirty times my soul, spirit,mind had been separated from my body according to the doctors at that hospital and my medical records.
Since then, it now being 2017, over the years we learned that the proper diagnosis is Mastocytosis, with Asthma and Anaphylaxis being just two of the many the deadly and dangerous symptoms of Mastocytosis is what my body actually deals with daily. And there are several other conditions that plague my body that stem back from childhood trauma that also affect my immune system, one being a deformed spine that is in the shape of a zig-zagged "Z" with a "C" curve at the end of the "Z" formation and a pelvis that is riddled with hair - line fractures indicative of child sex abuse and other forms of abuse. It was a surprize to learn that, if my spine were not deformed as a result of child abuse, that I would actually be about two inches taller than I actually am now. (If you are interested in learning more about Mastocytosis, please hover your curser on the menu choices "Pathway To Eden>Founder/Director>Michelle Carmela and Mastocytosis").
The majority of entries were posted on a Facebook page, then a fan page both called "Once Upon an Eden". As I posted about my own health journey in attempts to be free from the residue that severe childhood traumas have left upon my psyche and throughout my body, it soon became apparent that many other survivors, be they victim survivors or survivor activists of various traumas and abuses, or those who were terminally ill set home to die, or those who loved them...we all wanted to thrive not just exist.
And just as recently, as September 2015, while I was in the hospital being treated for Asthma, an assassination attempt was made on my life. During my childhood years, the years of my youth were incredibly abusive, and danger and deadly violence was the normal that I lived with and endured. In fact, it was so deadly violent at times, it was often a wonder to be alive that there were times; yet, not always a relief. Later in life, due to the nature of the advocacy work and educational work of myself through Once Upon an Eden many attempts have been made upon my life. The assignation attempt of September 2015, was not the first assassination attempt towards me during my decades long activist career, and no doubt, it will not be the last, either. However, it was, to the best of my recollection, the first to occur while I was in such a vulnerable state. The failed attempt resulted in a heart attack and stroke. The heart attack I recovered from promptly enough. The stroke, in addition to numerous past incubations, left me with a case of Expressive Aphasia that gets stronger from time to time. Thankfully, there are exercises that one can do to rebuild the synapses, hopefully slowing down lack of progressive loss of language expression and loss of language comprehension.

"It is my fervent belief that to be truly free from one's past abuse and one's abuser(s) one must learn to thrive from the depths of one's soul, mind and spirit to one's very cells. The purge of the residue, filth, grime, sludge and infection of the abuse and the abuser(s) must be purged from one's soul, mind, spirit and very cells for one to be truly free. So it the goal of Once Upon an Eden and myself as fellow survivor and as activist/advocate to bring this level of freedom to all whomsoever desire to strive forth to obtain such health, freedom, well being, autonomy and thriving life." ~Michelle Carmela Saldana
