After developing a series of complications, include a perianal fistula, from a surgery, the author's resistance against another surgery had turned into a determination to understand and heal from the disease naturally. After a significant amount of research and trial and errs, she developed a daily self-care regimen which played a pivotal role in her healing. At a follow-up check one year after her anal fistula diagnosis, she heard the most beautiful words from the doctor, "Your fistula has closed on its own." To celebrate her one year anniversary from the follow-up check, the author wrote down her journey of healing to inspire others and to give a voice to those who did heal naturally from this disease - that "Yes, it can happen".
