The Radical Reversal of Illness
Some believe that Mind over matter can be as strong as any drug or medication when you understand how your natural body functions. If you are the master of your personal universe, how well are you controlling your destiny?
Fact
Most diseases and illnesses begin with a nutrient deficiency. The lack of certain vitamins, minerals and enzymes from your daily food choices turns a body acidic which in turn becomes more susceptible to illness. When the necessary nutrients are added to your diet through natural plant based foods, this is the surest way to recovery.
Statistics
Dr. Terry Wahls, who had become severely disabled with MS, a chronic disease with no cure, was receiving the best medical advice from the top experts and working closely with the best conventional doctors in the country. The drugs and chemo treatments were all part of the medical plan but instead of getting better, Dr. Wahls continued to get worse.
According to the National MS Society and these numbers are conservative, there are over 400,000 Americans that have MS and approximately 2.5 million people around the world, with no cure in sight.
Research
In her own wisdom, Dr. Wahls decided to try alternative ideas and started researching her illness thoroughly to find out which nutrients were necessary to rebuild and strengthen her body. At first she started taking vitamin and mineral supplements, but soon realized that eating fresh veggies, fruits and quality protein would supply more healing compounds, advancing positive results.
Hunter-Gatherer
After changing her diet to resemble that of the Hunter-Gatherer diet, eating leaves, roots, berries, grass fed meat and wild fish, she started receiving all the nutrients she needed. Within a few months, her health started improving and she was no longer confined to a wheelchair but was walking, then bike riding and within a year, even horseback riding. Dr. Wahls tells her amazing recovery story at a TED conference, explaining the science that backs up her claims. Check out the video.
Investment
Our health is dependent on which foods and substances we choose to enter our body. Are you living a pain-free existence with no over the counter or prescription drugs? If not, the answers are available with a bit of research and the time it takes to learn more about the foods we eat. When you are shopping for food, or making a menu selection, think about what a worthy investment you are!
Healthy Bon Appetite!
I totally agree with you Susan! I often have a hard time doing the all natural way, but always feel better when I do!
