In 2006, I read Dr. Fuhrman’s book Fasting and Eating for Health and began practicing the concepts in the book for many years.. I became even more compliant with the Nutritarian diet plan in 2014 when I was given the wrong medication, Levaquin. It sent me on a downward spiral with side effects I never dreamed imaginable; anal bleeding, stomach bleeding, nerve damage and stinging irritation up and my down arms and legs and night sweats. I was diagnosed as having chronic gastritis. I also got a hiatal hernia given during a stomach scope.
For the next 6 months, I basically passed out from pain. I followed a strict diet where I ruled out all food allergies. Then I discovered cabbage juice worked on my system better than anything else. I drank that for about 1.5 years 5-7 days per week. I reversed what I thought was all the side effects. Then in 2016, my entire skeleton practically felt like it disintegrated. I was plagued with another round of severe pains in hips, knees, shoulders, ribs, elbows. It hurt to breathe with a stabbing pain in my ribs. The doctor said my organs are fine, my resting heart rate was 46 in a MRI scan, and my vitals were great, but no mention that this could be the Levaquin side effects which clearly states soft tissue and cartilage tendon damage.
I began to be stricter on the Nutritarian diet in January 2018. Then to my surprise, not only did I have a strong recovery, I am active as I was during my all American collegiate track and field years. I now train with a former navy seal 5-6 days a week and I can hang. I got my right eye sight back; my right ear hearing came back. I just got slammed hard on a basketball full court two days ago and sprained my knee, two days later after Icing, elevating, compressing, I'm 70 percent recovered, and I was able to do 120 air squats and 60 lunges on the strained knee safely without losing valuable exercise conditioning. Unbelievable recovery rate.
As I keep ruling out all added salt, sugar, oil, and processed food, and strictly consume G-BOMBS, mostly raw and uncooked, my immunity seems to get ever stronger. The DHA /EPA I owe a miracle debt of thanks. I seem to have lost my depression, addictions, negative thinking.
I am not perfect, but no longer experience the volume of thoughts that constitute “addiction.” I consider myself well on the way recovering from food/sugar/chocolate addict amongst other things. I think that when others adopt the Nutritarian diet that not only will there be a transition in the nature and face of the food industry, but that prosperity in health will reach unprecedented levels.
