I was able to interview a Chamorro person who I found on Facebook. (Did not wanted to release his/her name)
- Do you live now in Guam?
- No I moved four years ago from the island. I stay connected to the culture even though I moved. I still live by the same traditions, celebrate the patron saints of our villages, I still cook the same way my mom and my grandmother cooked.
2. Why did you move and where do you live now?
- I live in California. I moved for a better job opportunity.
3. What do you think is the most interesting thing about the culture other might not know?
- I think it's the strength of family! You don't even have to be blood related the hospitality of the islanders makes you feel like family....at least that's the way it's always been in our family!
4. How often do you go back to the island?
- I haven't been home in 4 years....hopefully next summer.

I want to take a moment to share my deeply personal experience with herpes, as I truly believe that my story can offer hope and encouragement to others who may find themselves navigating a similar journey. A few years back, I was faced with the overwhelming reality of being diagnosed with herpes. At first, I felt utterly lost and unsure of what this meant for my future, especially after being informed that there was no effective cure available. The emotional turmoil and stigma associated with the diagnosis weighed heavily on me.
ReplyDeleteIn the midst of this struggle, a close friend reached out and suggested that I contact an African herbal doctor named Dr. Utu. Initially, I was quite skeptical; I had my doubts about trying an alternative treatment. However, driven by desperation and the desire to find some relief, I decided to reach out to him. Fortunately, Dr. Utu was incredibly comforting and knowledgeable, providing me with an herbal treatment regimen that he believed would address my condition.
After about four weeks of following his recommendations diligently, I returned for testing. To my utter amazement, my results came back negative for herpes! The news was not only a huge relief but also a turning point in my life. Since then, I have continued to undergo testing multiple times, and I am overjoyed to report that the results have consistently remained negative.
If you find yourself exploring alternative options for your own health, I highly encourage you to consider reaching out to Dr. Utu to discuss his approach and what he might offer. You can contact him at his email address, drutuherbalcure@gmail.com.
This is my lived experience, and I sincerely hope it offers some comfort and courage to those who need it
