Seeing the results

Over a year ago, many of you know that I was diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease called Grave’s disease. Although I had no overt symptoms, my blood work was not pretty. I was scared, not having ever been “sick” in my life. I met with an endocrinologist who talked of medication, of irradiating my thyroid. I balked and said “no way”. He said that because I had no symptoms, he would let me “play” with my diet and supplements and then if I didn’t see results we would talk medication.

So last year, I set out on my vegan, anti-inflammatory diet. By March of this year, my levels were normal. My doctor said it was impossible. I rechecked my levels yesterday, after I had added back in organic, local eggs, and wild salmon, sardines and codfish (and whatever Sandy caught fishing…). Well, 8 months out and the blood work is better than ever.

You see, removing the toxins, the pesticides, the animal products all reduce inflammation in the body, and whether it’s MS, Grave’s disease or lupus, the cause is still the same–INFLAMMATION. IN fact, many common diseases of the 21st century are caused by inflammation– heart disease, cancers, IBS, psoriasis, arthritis etc. Know that if you are willing to work hard and clean up your diet, remove toxins from your home and personal products, you can see a vast improvement in your health. And in many cases you can reverse disease. I am living proof. The desire to avoid toxic medications was strong enough for me to really change my way of living and eating. And I feel great, look great and have good energy with really no caffeine!!

Please, if you want to avoid chronic, degenerative disease, talk to me. Let me help you clean up your act, so to speak. You are worth it. It’s not that hard, really. If I can do it, so can you~

warmly,
