After writing almost two hundred posts on this blog, I sometimes wonder if it's worth it. My highest hope is to help people prevent disease, gain energy, heal, and lose weight. I can't hear enough success stories - they're almost miraculous - and inspire me to continue sharing what I know with others.
A few days ago, I heard from an old acquaintance of mine, Kim. When I last saw her about a year ago, she was struggling with chronic fatigue, mood disturbances and tingling/numbness of her ligaments due to Lyme disease. I encouraged her that a plant-based diet can help heal even the most unlikely diseases (because it boosts the immune system and circulation), and I guess I convinced her, because she immediately changed her diet - and quickly noticed the relief from her symptoms.
Here's Kim's story in her own words"
"I began completely avoiding refined sugar, increased fruit, vegetable and fiber intake tremendously, drinking green tea daily, with a minimal amount of meat. Within 1 month, my energy level increased tremendously and leveled off my intense mood disturbances. Not "cured" from lyme or babesia but, holding steady today and definitely
much, much more functional than ever, since my first onset of symptoms."
Kim also wrote that she's feels "90% herself" energy-wise, no longer needs an afternoon nap, and has lost 15 pounds.
Of course, Kim's doctor never told her nutrition could help, because he doesn't know. I mean, who would possibly think that a plant-based diet could have such power over a prognosis like Lyme disease - or any other auto-immune disease?
The good news is the same as the bad: What we put in our bodies is SO powerful.
