Hello beauties - this is Kara Cura. I have been a healer for over 25+ years. I began with Reiki as a Reiki Master Teacher, moving into Massage for many years, managing spas and very sacred healing spaces mainly in Asheville, NC at the time.

In 2009 I began to study with my first Shaman in Asheville and that opened up a new calling quite quickly that I held very near and dear to myself for years. When you get called to the medicine as one of her carriers, I feel it is very important to really sit with it and make sure you want to truly change your life. I did just that. So after 4 years of only working with my teacher in Asheville when he would travel to us, we finally realized it was time for me to learn from the true Shamans of Peru and we traveled down to Peru together.

That started my journey into the realm of Shamanism. Today, I have served over thousands of people all over the world and in 2023 I became amazingly ill. Lyme Disease and co-infections that I still get told by doctors don't exist. Yet, here I am 3+years later still finding my healing and unfortunately still quite ill.

I am a veteran of the USAF and am blessed to be getting my care through the VA, however, that too is not a great design for healing as the very system that helped to make me so ill does not believe in my illnesses. Chronic Lyme is not something the CDC believes in - and my main co-infection "Morgellons" is so misunderstood and under studied that EVERY Doctor I have seen tells me - "delusional parasitosis", and won't write it in my records even.

Every Doctor, except one(s) that cost $500 per hour. Which is how I got the information and correct diagnosis through Functional Medicine testing. I am so thankful for the community support to get that far three years ago because it has given me a way to do my own research and support my healing naturally as best as I can.

However, with Morgellons comes a seriously strong Biofilm and that biofilm is what cycles to build within and on my body. It is the main killer of most people. It's just that the medical field has been taught not to speak about it. So a person really needs and wants to research deeply around this topic to find the truth that it is behind most all deaths. I am doing okay. The cycle of the biofilm is real and keeps me fairly ill most all days. I have better days than others, my brain seems to be coming back into clarity and able more than not most days, and somehow I have found a strength that was not present the first few years.

I believe the research I have been able to accomplish these three years have lead me down a road of natural remedies and medicines that do help - yet, they are up to and over hundreds of dollars most months.

I still have days I do wonder if it's worth being alive for - esp when the biofilm strengthens (mainly with the presence mold and fungus in homes/spaces and unfortunately pets seem to make it all worse too.) It has been the hardest three years of my life and I am so grateful to have the strength of my relationships with the plants still supporting me, along with amazing community, family & therapists.

It is time to ask for more support. My 53 birthday is coming up April 26th, and I am beginning a new life in New Mexico where there is less mold and fungus in most all buildings. I already see some support just being out here but it is not the full answer. I am beginning with the VA out here and have hope to just find a kind PC doctor that will believe me and work with me. After 20+ Drs in Asheville, it's hard to have that dream but I still hold it strong.

My sister and her husband have been floating many of my bills and I feel I would like to try to ask my world wide community for support to help ease their load as I begin the very intense and long process of Social Security support - which is already a challenge since I lived 6 years out of the USA. But there are ways and I am working toward getting support through the VA with disability too since my (second) tick bite was in Japan when in the USAF.

I humbly ask for your support - and of course, anything you can share will help. I know it is a hard world we are living within for so many and I understand the crunch. However, if you can, I definitely need the support once again as I try to find homeostasis for my body, mind and soul.

I do look forward to being able to focus on my new offerings which are going to all be online, sharing wisdoms from my years living with the Shipibo tribe in Peru, and all my work with the master plants and my long awaited (to me) book(s)!

I am grateful for your support - seriously - my life has been so hard these last three years and continues to be a huge challenge. I am humbly asking once again - even tho my goal was to handle it myself - I am being taught that I can't do it all on my own. Thank you dear friends and family - I am deeply grateful.
