Dear Beloved Freakin Rican Family,
I come to you today from a place of vulnerability and gratitude, sharing a chapter of my healing journey that has touched me deeply. For those who follow my social media presence, you may be aware of the recent events that led me to temporarily close the doors of our restaurant for a week in pursuit of recovery. However, I feel compelled to reveal the full story for those who may not be acquainted with the extent of my struggles.
Three months ago, I found myself in the emergency room, grappling with difficulty in breathing—an unsettling experience that stirred conflicting emotions within me. However, fate dealt me a similar hand last week as I found myself struggling to breathe once again. Another visit to the ER ensued, bringing forth a battery of examinations—from EKGs to blood work and lung x-rays—all yielding no concrete answers
In that moment of internal conflict, I made the decision to open the restaurant, arriving on a Wednesday only to realize that my presence surpassed that of my team. This realization struck a chord within me—why was I neglecting my own well-being to support others who weren’t meeting expectations? With a heavy heart yet resolute mind, I announced an early closure for the day, acknowledging the need to prioritize my health above all else.
The perplexity of my physical state lingered, prompting a visit to Allergy Partners for allergy testing, considering the pollen-laden environment I often immerse myself in within my backyard oasis.
Amidst this whirlwind of uncertainty and discomfort, I was enveloped in a wave of love and support like never before. Your countless well-wishes, prayers, and messages of encouragement flooded my heart with gratitude and humility. The outpouring of affection and concern from each of you, my cherished community, left me profoundly moved and reminded me of the profound bond we share.
In my quest for restoration and rejuvenation, I have explored various natural remedies—from Vitamin C to Mullein blend, Black seed oil, Cod liver fish oil, organic garlic in manuka honey, and colloidal silver, among others—all contributing to my gradual recovery. Despite facing intermittent discomforts and physical detoxification symptoms, I am filled with optimism and resilience, trusting in the healing process unfolding within me.
As I embark on each day with renewed vigor and gratitude, I eagerly anticipate the joy of reuniting with each one of you soon. Your unwavering love and support have illuminated my path through this challenging time, underscoring the invaluable sense of community and solidarity we have cultivated together.
With a heart overflowing with thanks and love, I extend my deepest appreciation for being part of this extraordinary journey. ¡GRACIAS! LOS QUIERO DE GRATIS. 💖
Derick
