​Once sepsis progresses however the high rate of severe complications increases
exponentially especially for patients with a weakened immune system or a chronic illness. There are three stages of sepsis which are described below.

​THREE STAGES OF SEPSIS
• SEPSIS: can be hard to identify in its early stages but common symptoms that show
evidence of the disease include are fluctuating body temperature, fever, confusion,
extreme pain and signs of infection
• SEVERE SEPSIS: difficulty breathing, abnormal heartbeat, difficulty urinating, change in
mental state, chills due to reduced body temperature, extreme weakness and confusion
• SEPTIC SHOCK: Dangerously low blood pressure, rapid pulse and breathing, dizziness,
organ failure. The dramatic drop in blood pressure can damage the lungs, kidneys, liver,
and other organs. When the damage is severe it can lead to death
According to the MAYO clinic the risk of death from SEPSIS is as high as 30%, SEVERE
SEPSIS 50% and the risk of death from SEPTIC SHOCK 80%. Early diagnosis and treatment is
the key to a successful recovery from Sepsis.

For those who haven’t heard of Louise Hay she was a metaphysical teacher and bestselling
author who built a self -publishing empire, Hay House, that has attracted metaphysical and self-
help authors from around the world. Her first book “You Can Heal Your Life” sold over 50 million
copies and has been translated into 25 languages in 33 countries.  Born on October 8,1926 Her
beliefs were influenced by a difficult and unstable childhood. Louise recalled being abused by
her stepfather and raped by a neighbor around the age of 5 eventually running away from home
in her teens. She went onto find work in New-York City as a model and in the mid 1950’s
married Andrew Hay an English businessman. It was when Louise’s marriage of 14 ended in
divorce that she discovered what would become her life’s work through her studies in the
Church of religious science. In 1970 when her training in the ministerial -program began she
developed what would become her core beliefs. Louise wrote how our thoughts and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies as we become what we think about. This belief that there is a link between our thinking and disease was the genesis of the connection between body mind and spirit. While changing our health isn’t limited to only changing our thinking it certainly begins there.
