The Journey Has Started With Alternative Medicine

Part 2 of my story is below. To see part 1 first, return to here.

My first doctor's appointment with a Holistic medicine practitioner, it lasted an unbelievable 4 hours and 17 minutes. I really was shocked when I left his office when I saw what time it was.

I knew all along we had been there a while. Him asking question after question with me filling in answers. Actually, it didn't even feel like a doctor's appointment. We were just having a friendly conversation, most of the time. The subject of the day, well it just happened to be me. 

To start out though, I'm not going to fool you. The main emphasis of the road to recovery was an entire list of different food groups he wanted me to drop from my diet. It was 39 different food groups! 

Now visualize that, I said food groups - not food items. Gone was the dairy foods, wheat and all gluten, corn, eggs, peanuts, soy and on and on.  I was to stay with a very low sodium diet, no caffeine or food dyes, additives or preservatives plus many others. There was 39 different groups he wished me to completely avoid. 

To many people this could sound like a death sentence from foods. But the reality, I have plenty to eat. It was just all pretty much from a different type of plan, one I totally wasn't accustomed to only because I was never told this information before. I also never even thought of it before. So starvation was never going to be an issue. I actually for the first time in probably 20 or 30 years ate more food every day than I did before.

The difference, before I ate sparingly, gained weight constantly, added new and often painful aches and pains weekly and that had another pharmaceutical drug added to my ongoing list of ever-enlarging health problems.

The end result though now, my sugar levels are stable, I've lost over 145 lbs.. My blood pressure, kidney and liver tests, cholesterol levels and every other single test they can give me - everything is all within normal levels. Even better said... all my numbers now are superior! And the hardest to believe... I still haven't even went on a diet!

When you look at my blood tests, I'm healthy "as a horse". And to think, two and a half years ago, I was a "basket case". It just seemed then everything was wrong but still I tried so hard to follow all of the doctor's orders.

I'll start telling you what made this fantastic transition possible in my next installment so to get those important details check here.
