Anthony William didn’t get me started on my whole food, plant based journey but about 6 months after I made the change, I read Medical Medium and Thyroid Healing. My perception about my health completely changed!
I never made the connection to illnesses I’ve had over the years to food or a virus! I just assumed it was a normal thing to happen as we get older. The idea of spending my golden years in retirement homes or hospitals was terrifying, but pretty much expected!
Since about the age 55, my health has been declining at a rapid pace. In September of 2017 my blood pressure was alarmingly within stroke range.
I was overweight. My liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidneys – heck my whole digestive system was compromised. I was either pre-diabetic or un-diagnosed diabetic. I had tinnitus, skin problems, extreme fatigue and vertigo. I couldn’t stand more than ten minutes at a time and I was frequently falling down.
By December I literally thought I was dying. I had changed to a whole food, plant based diet on September 15th, 2017 and I could tell I was getting better but my SAD diet had taken it’s toll.
It took me 64 years to ruin my health, It was going to take time and dedication to get it back.
The WFPB diet helped tremendously.
Within 6 months I had lost 50 pounds. My cholesterol was in a good range. I was still having issues with my blood pressure even with medication but the numbers were down, sometimes too low even.
My liver profile was normal. As it had been 10 times over the high mark, this was an incredible turn around. I have much more energy but I still had a ways to go.
This photo is a picture of me with my daughter at a camping trip with her and my grandsons six months into my Whole Food, Plant Based lifestyle.
I can honestly say I could not have done this is I had not changed my diet.
After not having the stamina to stand more than 10 minutes just a few months prior, I used a cane to help me on hikes. I could not keep up on the long hikes, but I was there! It felt a little weird having to use a cane at my age.
Admittedly, I questioned my sanity rather than my stamina when it dropped down to 27 degrees the first night!
I have to bless my dear husband, Harry! He made the change right along with me. He did the detox plans, changed his whole way of eating and has supported me all the way!
After reading Medical Medium and Thyroid Healing, I realized my diet helped me considerably but I still needed to deal with the virus itself. From the book I gathered that I have both the Epstein-Barr and Shingles viruses and the former was the cause of my hypothyroidism and possible diabetes.
Anthony prescribes some healing plans that may render the virus harmless and allow the body to heal. A good part of his plans have to do with diet. He recommends some supplements that are sold on Amazon. They are all different brands and not supplements that he profits from.
Anthony is a medium and some people have a hard time wrapping their heads around that. However I have been trying to find answers about my health through food for over 40 years. and have continually be misled by the food industry.
I have followed a lot of plans that have been wrong for me.
I am willing to learn from this man. I would rather take advice from someone who is interested in people’s health than industries that make people sick for profit!
