Story:

For a number of years I started experiencing unexplained pain in every part of my body, my blood pressure continued to rise as I got older (I'm 62 now), and my cholesterol levels were totally out-of-sight. This all made absolutely no sense for my small body-build, sensible eating and active lifestyle. By early 2003 my muscles started going into excruciating spasms with increasing frequency. I began to use a cane, that is, when I could even get out of my bed or chair. The morning I woke up with one leg paralyzed I decided to find a doctor who could help me. (The other ones just gave me statins and I was having side-effects from some of those as well.) My new doctor, also an MD but a naturopathic doctor as well, immediately ran a cellular immunity test and discovered that I had food allergies! I began following a very strict diet immediately. So...for the past year I have avoided certain foods, eat organic, natural and free-range foods as much as possible, and take various supplements to make sure I have the nutrients I need. This combination of food and supplementation has literally saved my life and I am most thankful.
