Supporting Nicole's Holistic Healing Journey: Faith, Plant-Based Medicine, and Community

I want to introduce you to my friend Nicole Buffong—poet, truth-seeker, and one of the most faith-filled people I know. She goes by Ankh Em Ma'at, which means "Live in Truth," and that name isn't just beautiful—it's who she is.

Right now, Nicole is walking one of the most courageous journeys I've witnessed: choosing a path of holistic healing for end-stage kidney failure and HIV, guided not by fear, but by an unshakeable faith in the Creator's design and the healing power of plants.

Nicole's Holistic Healing Journey

Nicole is living with HIV and kidney failure. After years in the conventional medical system, she's made a deeply personal decision not to pursue a kidney transplant. This isn't a rejection of medicine—it's a choice rooted in wisdom, quality of life, and addressing root causes rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.

A transplant would mean returning to HIV medications and lifelong anti-rejection drugs costing $900 monthly, without healing the underlying issue that caused the kidney failure in the first place. In her words, that path would likely lead to kidney failure again within years.

For Nicole, true healing means going deeper.

She recently shared: "I understand now with clarity and peace: a transplant is not the solution if the root remains untouched. Replacing an organ without restoring the system is only delay, not deliverance. I choose wholeness. I choose wisdom. I choose a healing path that honors creation, not just crisis."

Plant-Based Healing Protocol with Maa

Nicole is raising $7,000 to fund six months of holistic treatment under the guidance of Maa, the first wife of Dr. Sebi, who has spent over 40 years helping people restore their bodies through plant-based healing. Maa was referred by a trusted friend whose own healing—more than a decade lasting—stands as living testimony.

The funds will cover:

• Customized herbal formulations specific to her needs

• Healing-aligned, alkaline foods

• Six months of ongoing holistic guidance

• Platform fees

This protocol centers on fruits, vegetables, herbs, grounding practices, breathwork, discipline, and consistency.

As Nicole writes: "I return, fully and joyfully, to what I know works: whole foods, living plants, fasting, rest, hydration, prayer, and obedience."

Her Prayer: A Window Into Her Soul

Nicole is a poet, and her faith flows through everything she writes. She recently shared a prayer that captures the heart of this journey. Here's part of it:

Yah of Light, and Ruach HaKodesh, Breath of Wisdom,

This Rising my heart overflows, not with relief alone, but with reverent gratitude. Gratitude that humbles me. Gratitude that steadies me. Gratitude that reminds me I do not walk this healing path alone.

Todah Rabah, Yah, for the love You moved through my people. Todah Rabah for friends and family who gave, shared, prayed, and amplified my need without hesitation or judgment.

Todah Rabah for generosity that showed up swiftly, more than half the goal met in less than two days, a living witness that when You give instruction, You also send provision.

What I felt as defeat just days ago has been transformed into direction. What looked like disappointment became discernment. What felt heavy became holy recalibration.

Yah, You met me in reflection and showed me truth without condemnation: I strayed because I felt better. I mistook comfort for completion. I let convenience interrupt discipline.

But You did not rebuke me. You realigned me.

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed… to you it shall be for meat." — Genesis 1:29

This verse is no longer theory to me. It is lived law. It is covenant medicine. It is proof that You prescribed healing before disease ever had a name.

Can you feel the depth of her faith? This isn't someone hoping for healing—this is someone who knows, in her bones, that healing is her birthright when she aligns with creation's design.

Faith-Driven Healing Journey

For Nicole, faith isn't a side note to her healing—it IS her healing. She trusts "The Doctor" (her name for the Creator) and believes deeply that plants and herbs were created specifically for our restoration.

She writes: "I choose faith over fear. Faith that You are still the Doctor with the final word. Faith that plants are not secondary, they are sacred. Faith that healing is possible when the root is addressed, not just the symptom managed."

This is someone who doesn't just talk about faith—she walks in it, even when the path is steep. She's chosen to worship instead of worry, to trust instead of panic, to obey instead of compromise.

What the Funds Will Support

Nicole is clear about how this money will be used: "I thank You that the funds being raised are not random, they are purpose-specific: for herbs, for alkalizing food, for consultation, for six months of disciplined restoration."

Every dollar goes directly toward:

• Her personalized herbal protocol designed by Maa

• Healing foods that support kidney restoration and overall wellness

• Six months of guidance and accountability

• The platform fees to process donations

This isn't about quick fixes. This is about "six months of disciplined restoration"—a sacred commitment to her body's ability to heal when given the right tools.

The Community Response (and How You Can Help)

In less than two days after launching her campaign, Nicole's community showed up powerfully—raising more than half her goal. As she said: "More than half the goal met in less than two days, a living witness that when You give instruction, You also send provision."

But she still needs our help to reach the full $7,000 that will fund this intensive healing protocol.

Here's how you can support:

1. Donate - Any amount helps. Whether it's $10 or $100, every contribution moves her closer to the herbs, foods, and guidance she needs.

2. Share - If you can't donate, please share her story. Your network might include someone who can help or who needs to hear about this path of healing.

3. Pray/Send good energy - Nicole believes in the power of collective spiritual support. Hold her in your thoughts, prayers, or whatever form of positive intention resonates with you.

Why This Matters

Nicole's journey is about more than one person's healing. It's about:

• Trusting that our bodies have innate wisdom when given the right tools

• Choosing quality of life over conventional timelines

• Honoring ancestral and plant-based healing traditions

• Community showing up for one of our own

As Nicole wrote in her prayer: "Let this campaign be more than funding, let it be testimony. Let it be witness. Let it be proof that community, compassion, and covenant still heal."

She's choosing wholeness. She's choosing wisdom. She's choosing "to worship instead of worry, to trust instead of panic, to obey instead of compromise."

Will you join me in supporting her?

A Blessing for All Who Give

Nicole closes her prayer with these words:

"Barakah every person who donated. Barakah every person who shared. Barakah every person who held me in prayer and good will frequency. Return their kindness multiplied, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing."

Let's be part of that blessing. Let's be part of her testimony.

"Ase. So be it."
