Tereza's Story

I would like to thank Dr. Fuhrman for the job  he is doing. My  husband and I have been nutritarians since December 2014 – it will be 10 years this year.  I. was watching KPBS one December evening and Dr. Fuhrman was  talking about a lifestyle that can avoid diseases of our parents. He was so confident and persuasive that I was thinking I must try it. Yet I was skeptical, I was wondering how I would manage without dairy, meat, and eggs. But I  started right away: cold turkey. It was before Christmas and I didn’t want to wait after holidays, because I always gain weight during holidays. I was steadily gaining weight. I was 51 years old at that time.

First, I noticed I was losing weight. Later I stopped having migraines, headaches, joint pain, I had more energy and people were telling me how well I  looked. I got better skin color. My level of cholesterol normalized,; my doctor wanted to put me on statins before I started the nutritarian lifestyle.  I asked him to wait. It was not needed after all. I didn’t have any yeast infections like in the past. I was very seldom sick.

The longest but the greatest achievement was getting rid of my dust allergy. I was told in the past by a specialist that my allergy is so severe I will have to accept it and live with it for the rest of my life. I also was told that I will need autoimmunization shots for the rest of my life. I didn’t say anything, but I was thinking: “Will see about that.” I was sick of getting autoimmunization shots. I had them as a child, then at 30 years old and then in my late 40’s-50’s. My arm always swelled double size, red, hot itching. But if I didn’t do it, I was suffering with allergy symptoms such as stuffy nose, itchiness in nose, throat, eyes, watery eyes, runny nose, bleeding, crusty nose, postnasal drip, sinus pain/pressure, inability of breathing though my nose at night that was preventing me from getting enough restful sleep. I had trouble breathing during the days as well and I started to wheeze. I was thinking; “Oh no, I am going to get an asthma” I was moody, tired, and miserable.

I was so miserable that I was willing to do anything to get better. I am so grateful that by coincidence I was watching TV at the right time and got an answer to my question on how to get better.

My husband immediately joined me in the nutritarian lifestyle.  We both have healthy weights, I can walk and jog without pain, my allergy is 95% cured. I still sneeze and blow my nose when I work with something dusty, but that’s about it. It does not make me sick for days like in the past.

Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman, from the bottom of my heart for changing our lives for the better!
