Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I thought my testimonial might be of interest to others who are involved with the raw food diet/lifestyle. I am also interested in any information I can gather concerning how to further heal myself.<br>I was diagnosed with MS 9/99. I had been a long distance runner for many years, but began to experience a lack of coordination, numbness in 1/2 my left hand and 1/2 my foot, frequent falling, and extreme fatigue. Before long, I was unable to lift my leg to climb stairs, began losing bowel and bladder control, and difficulty sleeping due to increased spasticity in my left leg. I began using a cane after finding it difficult to walk from the parking lot to the building I work in. I was given a drug for every one my symptoms including depression and sleeplessness. I was devastated, and grieved for months as I watched my body degenerate. I was also given a daily injectable drug to slow the progression of the disease, until researchers could find a cure. The dis-ease progressed to my left arm, to where it became so weak I had difficulty holding a coffee cup.<br>It wasn't long before I figured out the medical doctors had nothing for me. I began trying to find other folks with " incurable " dis-eases, who had found a way to heal their bodies, and live normal, healthy lives. I would be happy to share the books I have read, and the folks I have spoken to-- many of the books some of you have mentioned.<br>I went 80-90%raw 2/01, after reading " God's Way " by George Malkmus, and later " A WAY OUT " by Matthew Grace, and started drinking colloidal silver. I went 100% raw with no problems 2 months ago. I will not go back to the SAD. <br>Within a few short weeks last year, I went into what the doctor call " remission " . The progression of the dis-ease had stopped, and my symptoms began reversing themselves. I have no fatigue at all(in fact, increased mental clarity), no numbness, complete bowel/bladder control, and full use of my left arm and hand. The only problem I have remaining is a limp in my left leg---remaining neuro damage, I'm guessing. I know even that will eventually heal with the nutrients I am feeding my body.<br>I grow, harvest, and juice my own wheatgrass, I drink 2-3 large glasses of vegetable juice a day (champion juicer), I eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables anytime I am hungry, and drink 2-3 tablespoons of Udo's oil a day, with no other suppliments.<br>Any advice you may have on healing my limp would be appreciated!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Susan<br><br>An impressive testimonial. An encouragement to all. It tends to support my contention that the medical profession know a lot about quick fixes of many symptoms and has not yet come to full grips with diet and the deep causes of our serious ailments.<br><br>Peter<br><br>Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Susan;<br>I have a freind who has a brother with M.S. I emailed her your previous post on M.S. The problem is, he is not online. She printed my email and snailed it to him. She said he might be willing to try raw. I spoke to him briefly once, he is in a wheel chair, and has been for many years. I am on a quest to get him online, and in our club so he could talk to you. I will forward your last post to him, and keep trying. <br><br>What exactly is Udo's oil?<br><br>Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2002 Report Share Posted January 3, 2002 Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am now working 9 hr days with energy to spare. Life has changed for me so much--and I am so happy and relieved!<br>Udo's oil is a blend of Omega-3,6,9 fatty acids from flax, sunflower, sesame, EPO, and bran of rice and oats. In addition, I have just begun to sprout different beans, seeds and greens, making wonderful salads every evening. I also take 3-4 tablespoons of Barley Green a day.<br>I would love to be able to pass on my success with healing to others with this devastating dis-ease, but so far have found most sufferers are too far into the doctor drama to listen or change. It's sad for me to see this. I hope to completely heal and be living proof the raw food diet can heal something as serious as a neurological disorder.I wish the best to your friend's brother, and hope he will give raw a try!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Susan;<br>I happend to think about the Hippocrates Institute in West Palm Beach Florida. They are a well established raw food clinic, started by Ann Wigmore. I emailed them a couple of years ago about Joe (my friends' brother) and asked them about MS. They replied that they " Have helped many people with MS to heal themselves " and sent me a great Brochure on their clinic. Perhaps you could email them and ask them about your lingering limp. Here is there website;<br><br><a href=http://www.hippocratesinst.com/ target=new>http://www.hippocratesinst.com/</a><br><br>Good luck Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement says that, while studying biochemistry at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, he was a food addict, weighing 240 pounds and smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. (The University of Massachusetts registrar’s office had no record that a Brian Clement was ever enrolled there. Clement says that it must be a mistake and that he will call the registrar to straighten it out.) " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Dear Doug,<br>Thanks for thinking of this for me. I enjoyed the books by Ann Wigmore, and got the wheatgrass idea from her book on the subject. Today I wrote to the institute website about my condition, and they are sending some information. Appreciate you, Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Blake,<br>I wonder why the post about Matthew Grace not having MS..? It appears it is one persons opinion, and there are certainly plenty of folks who disagree. Anyway, Mattew wrote a wonderfully inspiring book about the raw foods lifestyle, allowing the body to heal itself, and learning to grow spiritually to help achieve good health. I don't recall him mentioning his MS in his book, or having it for that matter, but hearing that someone disbelieves him is not surprising. Once I went into remission and my symptoms began reversing, friends and family began saying things like, " I think you were mis-diagnosed " or " Are you sure you had MS? " Two months ago, I saw the doctor who initially gave me my diagnosis (finding lesions on my brain and spinal cord through MRI scans), and seeing me for the first time in 6 months stated, " Well, I think you only have a mild form of MS " and " Diet has very little to do with this disease " SAY WHAT?? My symptoms were anything but " mild " before changing diet/lifestyle and improving as much as I have. I have no reason to return to see a neurologist. I am highly interested in all so-called " incurable " dis-eases, not just MS, and firmly believe the body will heal itself if given the nutrients it needs. MS is a label the medical community put on me when I began degenerating in the way I did. Reading about anyone who has gone from a wheelchair to walking and feeling great is very inspiring to me. <br>I also have my own generator, where I use a high voltage, alternating current, to produce my own Colloidal Silver. Injesting silver COMPOUNDS is know to produce agraria. I wouldn't think of it.<br>Thanks for the other website. Again the information and readings confirm what I believe.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Susan,<br><br>Your story is really inspirational on the value of diet and raw foods to cure disease.<br><br>I share your obvious disdain at how the mainstream and medical professions dismiss non-drug related cures by suggesting their must be an error in diagnosis. I got really annoyed the other day when reading a Consumer's Report article on the arguements pro and con surrounding milk consumption (I was at least happy they addressed the subject though).<br><br>In their article, the mentioned that a number of studies had found a positive correlation between dairy consumption and bone-loss problems (higher consumption leads to greater, not lesser, bone loss). But then defused the significance of that fact by mentioning that for one study that obtained that same result, one of the " scientists " reasonsed that the people who increased their milk consumption " probably " already were in advanced stages of bone-loss trouble, and it was " probably " too late to help them anyway.<br><br>To print this bunk is nonsense. In good studies where scientists feel they have reason to question the results, they make adjustments for other factors, like lifestyle or diet issues, then reassess whether the results are the same after factoring these in. It's irresponsible and shows obvious bias to simply speculate that when the results aren't what you're expecting or wanting, that there must be some other reason, then not bothering to test the reason.<br><br>I'm going to send a note to Consumers Union about this when I have time. We need organizations like them to serve as a balance against large corporate interests, but their coverage on health issues is a total waste of time. They also did a slam job on vaccines recently (basically dismissing concerns about toxicity, efficacy and other concerns about government-mandated vaccinations).<br><br>Mallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
