- Kari has four auto-immune diseases, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto's, lupus and vasculitis
- She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's when she was 20 and had a lot of problems with thyroid medications
- Years after, the three other diseases went into the picture altogether
- Her kidney was in acute state of failure, making medications prescription very difficult: she eventually started methotrexate
- After three months not only kidney but also liver was in failure
- Kari stopped methotrexate and started the Paddison Program the next day
- Relief was immediate and after a period of refinement she has found her right balance
- The Paddison Program forum has been a great source of help and information in the process
