My 9 month process with Guillermo at Humanidad Healing Center saved my life. Before I arrived at Humanidad, I was severely suicidal and had been bedbound for 2 years suffering from an incurable neurological illness I got after a Covid infection in 2022, also known as ME/CFS.
My life before I found Guillermo was very bleak and it was hard for me to find any happiness on a daily basis but I persisted in having hope I would recover, and I believe that hope led me to find Guillermo.
Before arriving at Humanidad, I was heavily medicated for depression and the only treatment that provided temporary relief for my rampant suicidality was called ECT, also known as electroconvulsive therapy, during which I was put under with general anesthesia and my brain would be shocked using electricity to induce seizures. It’s the most extreme treatment offered for Major Depressive Disorder and before I met Guillermo I was preparing to enter my third round. Thank G-d I found Guillermo, because if I did not, I fear to imagine what my life would have looked like while struggling to recover from such a complicated illness while relying on such severe and damaging treatments.
During the course of my illness I spent $100k+ on various American doctors and treatments but no doctor or practitioner was able to provide any effective treatment or medical advice.
Guillermo is a consummate professional and not only applied his decades worth of healing knowledge and experience to my process but also took it upon himself to research all the available materials he could find about my complicated and relatively unique condition.
Upon arriving at Humanidad, I went through a very comprehensive detox to rid myself of parasites and pharmaceutical medications my body was physically addicted to. I don’t believe there is any other healer on the planet who could have helped me in these areas as effectively as Guillermo. In a matter of weeks I was off all of my psychotropic medications, including Effexor, an antidepressant with a reputation for being incredibly difficult to taper off from. This one was one of the first miracles I experienced while working with Guillermo.
My brain and personality had been hijacked by antidepressants since I was thoughtlessly prescribed them back in 2019 by a general practitioner who noticed that I nervously picked my cuticles so his solution was to prescribe antidepressant, a sadly common occurrence in western medicine. My rampant suicidality was actually triggered during my first attempt of tapering off my antidepressants in 2022. Unfortunately, I got Covid during this period of crisis and my nervous system became so overwhelmed that the suicidality I thought would be temporary became a daily burden. Given all of this information, Guillermo aptly referred to the origin of my illness as my body experiencing a “short circuit.”
Guillermo treated me with confidence while dozens of reputable American doctors failed to provide me with guidance or relief. I don’t so much blame the doctors but the paradigm of Western Medicine whose chief goal is to suppress symptoms.
The treatment plan I followed under Guillermo’s care was methodical and effective. Guillermo led me to cleanse myself of parasites and detox myself off of psychotropic medications so I could properly enter the dieta space (dietas are also known as vision quests or isolation exercises).
The dietas were extremely instrumental in my healing as I was forced to confront uncomfortable and unsavory emotions that I had been suppressing for decades. In retrospect I can confidently assert that a large part of my illness was due to the unrelenting suppression and fermentation of emotions whose sole purpose and desire was to be felt so they could dissipate. The dieta space provided the vehicle for this and the plant medicine Guillermo served worked perfectly in concert as it allowed me to forgive those I had been harboring anger towards and rage I had been gripping onto for decades. It is worth noting that plant medicine ceremonies with Guillermo are extremely special and I’m having trouble to find the words to effectively describe them and the magnitude of their healing power.
I exited the dieta space after my first dieta and began running every day for exercise which was miraculous considering my illness was diagnosed by its hallmark symptom of exercise intolerance and I spent the previous 2 years largely bedbound.
Working with Guillermo saved my life and changed my life for the better. My life has been rerouted: I can now live happily and authentically and without the burdens of addiction, emotional suppression and abandoning myself for the sake of people pleasing.
Working with Guillermo was also the hardest experience of my life—so I do not want to advertise everything as rainbows and butterflies. The results were life changing and undoubtedly worth the suffering and discomfort I endured during my process, but the process itself was anything but easy.
In short, if you are committed to changing your life, healing, or living a better and more authentic life, I implore you to commit to a process with Guillermo. I firmly believe that a process with Guillermo can create the most significant and positive changes in a life that feels stuck in every way, no matter how severe the issue.
What is so special about Guillermo is not only his extremely attuned intuition and the extraordinary commitment that he makes to those he serves, but the fact that he himself (as a shaman) is a paragon of health, therefore anyone in his field becomes healthier by virtue of being in his presence.
