By Nov. ’07 I was so very sick, but couldn’t put a specific or even general disease to it. Tired all the time, fatigued, and panic attacks that I once had for 20 years yet had been gone for 15, returned so bad that taking a shower was a huge event in the day, as I was terrified of getting weak-headed & passing out in the shower, and arthritis in my hands that almost crippled me, along with other joint problems. I suffered from a ‘heavy head’ feeling although I did not have a cold or a sinus infection, & was weak in the legs, shaky & pretty much resigned to stay in the house. Feeling this badly I had no focus or motivation for doing anything – I was all consumed by feeling so ‘sick’. My conventional doctor wanted to put me on 4 medications in addition to the 2 I was already on. I said no.

Finally, I found a doctor who did blood tests for me & found my immune system number at 813 – they should be under 200. I was also diagnosed with acidosis. He recommended several supplements and a vegetarian diet. I had to rid myself of the acidosis, reach a total alkaline level, then return to my favorite meat products, etc. to establish a balance acid-alkaline level – that was the key! It turned my life around.

I began the treatment immediately. Within two weeks, all my negative symptoms disappeared. I felt physically strong, – heavy-headed feeling was gone, no more weakness gone in my legs, no longer tired, but full of energy. My only ‘problem’ was sleeping at night, ’cause I just didn’t feel tired. A couple of nights taking Valerian Root, & I was rested calm & sleeping like a baby, feeling like I really wanted to ‘jump’ out of bed in the morning. I couldn’t believe the transformation.

I felt mentally strong – thinking clearly, focused, motivated.

And emotionally strong – the biggest issues that used to stress & upset me were ‘now’ just tidbits of the day to take care of. I was overwhelmed. I was on top of the world & felt 30 years younger.

And……I was off all medications, even over the counter!!

About 4 months into this, stress began over some temporary life style changes, & I fell off the regimen. Six months later I was not only back at square one, but a follow-up blood test showed my immune system number had not only gone back up but skyrocketed to an all time high of 832, with the additional diagnosis of Candida. I was horrified.

I returned to the regimen I had, but this time did an all organic, plant based food diet with a mild vegetarian diet (incorporating only eggs, chick & ground beef – all organic, certified & range free). The symptoms have again ceased, though this is a different journey with the addition of the Candida. It’s a bit tougher & a bit longer. But I just cannot adequately express the change this has made in my life, & how wonderful I feel. As I said, I once took valium for 20 years for panic attacks, so my heart can understand that journey, & I am sharing my story in hopes of helping others.
