Jennifer Schofield, a fifth-grade teacher at Roselawn Elementary and Taylor's mother, wasn't worried about the stomach aches at first. She knew that a lot of changes start to occur in a girl's body around that time, and that Taylor was probably just starting to experience some hormonal changes. Taylor struggled through most of her fifth-grade year and into her sixth-grade year with continued stomach aches. By the end of her sixth-grade year, Taylor began vomiting severely and having other digestive problems.
She didn't want to go to school and we thought that it was maybe all related to the stress of middle school," Jennifer recalls. "We thought maybe a summer off school would help."
As Taylor's symptoms continued to worsen, at times leaving her on the brink of dehydration, Jennifer decided it was time to consult a doctor. The doctor first told the Schofields that it was likely acid reflux disease. Taylor began taking pills to fight the acid reflux, which worked for a while. Within a year, the symptoms had returned full force. Doctors prescribed a second medication during Taylor's freshman year, and she had a serious reaction. After expensive ultrasounds, blood tests and hydroscans, physicians eventually noted that Taylor's gall bladder was not working properly and recommended she have it removed.
"I was kind of at my wit's end," Jennifer recalls. "I know too many people who have had gall bladder surgery and it didn't correct the problem."
Following a recommendation from a friend, the Schofields sought Karen Hurd, a nutritionist from Fall Creek.
"I really doubted her in the beginning," Jennifer says. "She claimed she could heal or treat all these illnesses-cancer, Crohn's disease, even back pain-just through changing a person's diet. It sounded crazy to me, but it was worth a shot."
Hurd placed Taylor on a strict "white diet," meaning she could only consume white grains and legumes, including a half-cup of beans six times per day.
"I guess that's why they call her the 'bean queen,'" Jennifer laughs.
Taylor wasn't quite as amused.
"It was okay, but at a point I was so sick of eating beans," Taylor explains.
Although it may not have been fun, changes started to occur in Taylor's body. Within 72 hours, she started to feel better. Today, just seven weeks later, she says she feels normal and her gall bladder is functioning at nearly a normal level.
"It's like a miracle," Jennifer says. "In seven weeks she was able to do what no doctor said could be done. She's amazing."
This type of testimonial is not uncommon for the 50-year-old Hurd. What began as a personal fight has turned into a full-time occupation. Operating out of the front porch of her Fall Creek home, Hurd currently services 7,000 patients with illnesses ranging from colon cancer to multiple sclerosis.
Hurd will be sharing her story and her work with Chetek residents Thursday, April 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the Chetek High School IMC. Admission is free with a canned or boxed good for the food shelf.
While not technically a doctor (although she is currently working toward a doctorate), Hurd is a graduate of the American Academy of Nutrition, doing her coursework in comprehensive nutrition. She holds a Bachelors of Arts degree in languages (Spanish as a major, German as a minor) from Truman State University in Missouri, graduating summa cum laude in 1980. She spent four years as an officer in the military, studying biological, chemical and nuclear defense.
Hurd began studying nutrition in 1989, when her 18-month-old daughter was poisoned with a household pesticide. Her daughter barely survived this poisoning and the medical experts gave the prognosis that she would live only one year. Six months after the poisoning, it seemed they were correct. Her liver and kidneys were beginning to fail. The physicians gave no hope.
Hurd would not quit. She began to develop a plan for healing using the knowledge she had gained through her research in the military. Much to the amazement of the doctors, her daughter began to improve. Her daughter is now 19 years old and in perfect health.
"A nutritionist uses food to heal people," Hurd explains. "We do the same thing a doctor does, but we do it with food instead of drugs and surgery."
And heal people she has. Hurd's Web site (www.karenhurd.com) is filled with testimonials from people who have recovered from all sorts of maladies under her guidance.
"The people who come to me, I am often their last hope," Hurd says. "I will be talking with a man today who has colon cancer and has been given two weeks to live. I'm confident I will help him recover."
Hurd says she is committed to improving the lives and health of as many people as possible, which is why she works a minimum of 10 hours per day six days a week. She also is a guest on a radio show on WWIB (103.7 FM) the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. She also travels around the country, delivering lectures and promoting her book, "And They Said It Wasn't Possible."
