Paying the price for health...a choice

[Guest guest]

Tone,

 

When I made the decision to transition to a healthier

diet, I was 38years old and very sick. It was

questionable if I would live long enough to see my two

young children grown. I only knew what the AMA termed

a healthy diet. There were few books and no internet

groups to help me. One doctor agreed to support me

but admitted he know nothing. I stumbled upon a woman

who had been where I was and got titles of books from

her. I then began reading everything I could get my

hands on. Once I began to realize what would be

required of me...I internally rebelled. I could never

make the kind of changes these people wrote about.

 

Then I prayed. I asked God to show me what would

happen if I did not make these 'drastic changes'. I

saw myself dying surrounded by my children and

husband. I understood that I had a problem in my

breast that could not now be identified. If I made

the changes, I would live. If I did not, I would die.

As hard as it was (I also did not like fruit or

veggies), I forced myself to begin. Seven years

later, I was much healthier. However, an MD found two

lumps deep in my right breast. The mammogram showed

nothing. About this time, I began my formal education

in the holistic field.

 

About 3 years later, a lump surfaced on that same

breast. It grew from the size of a marble to a

baseball in three days. I had emergency surgery. The

tumor was benign. It had attached itself to the blood

supply of a milk duct (which is why it suddenly grew

so rapidly). The ultrasound done the day before the

surgery showed NOTHING! I have often wondered if that

tumor would have been cancerous if I had not made all

the changes! It would be after this surgery (and my

middle ear surgery a month later)that I decided to go

100% fruitarian (after having been 90% raw fooder for

18months). I ate only fruit for three months, and,

then to be sure there would be no undetected cancer, I

was on the grape diet for 60 days.

 

We each have choices. When I taught nutrition classes,

I would tell my students to evaluate themselves in the

following way...

 

Did they feel better or worse than they did 7 years

ago. If better, they were doing something right.

Continue doing it. If worse, they were doing

something wrong (nutritionally), change.

 

Only you can determine how badly you want to regain a

degree of health. Some feel that everyone should want

health. My experience (working as a natural health

consultant) was that most people want health but do

not want it badly enough to pay the price! The price

is VERY HIGH! No person will pay the price unless

they desire to accomplish something they feel is VERY

IMPORTANT and which could not be accomplished without

an increase in health. I feel no one hase no right to

judge another's decision in this matter.

 

I had a man with terminal brain cancer brought to me

by his family. After 3 months of forced dietary

changes and other holisitic options, he had improved

so dramatically that he himself thanked me for giving

him enough health to make the decision FOR DEATH

(something that appalled his family)! He said that he

had no purpose in life for the energy I had given him.

He returned to his old diet and died 8 months later.

Another man with cancer came to me after having

exhausted all conventional medicine could do for him.

I spoke with him and his wife for 3 hours explaining

what would be required to put his cancer into total

remission and then suggested he go to the Hippocrates

Institute if he were willing to pay this price.

Several weeks later, his wife called to thank me but

stated her husband did not want to live badly enough

to pay the price!

 

On the other hand, I had clients whose health would

have seemed impossible to turn around but whose

determination to get well and willingness to pay the

price paid off.

 

I did not think better of those who chose to act or

less of those who did not. I have not walked in their

shoes nor they in mine..for even one block much less

one mile. I do not judge your decision. However, we

each choose for ourself. You obviously know what to

do. You must now choose whether or not to do it.
