Rachel developed a severe form of Scleroderma. After her second severe flare which required another hospitalization, she decided to work on healing. She researched how to help her (and all of ours) body(ies) to heal with a holistic approach. This included exercise, stretching, specific breathing and yoga. Soon after she implemented this program she realized that she was doing so well that she could forgo her immunosuppression. Learn about the incredible journey of Rachel in this UnabridgedMD episode.
