Recently, this naturally healthy
grandma ordered a naturally healthy cure book for “her” Lupus.
The book is by a doctor who has been Lupus free for 10 years. She
used a raw vegan diet (tons of fresh fruit and veggies) (no processed
foods allowed) combined with powerful green smoothies and a gallon of
filtered water a day to rid her body of all signs of Lupus.
Now, this doctor was much sicker than I
am now, which is saying a lot for her amazing recovery. I'm pretty
freaking sick, you guys. However, her Lupus had escalated to the
point where her kidneys were impacted. She had blood sugar issues and
had also suffered several mini strokes. Right now I am on a journey
to follow her lead and try to cure my Lupus with her “Goodbye
Lupus” diet. I figure that if it worked for her issues, curing
mine should be no problem.
So, is it possible?
Well, to be honest, I have no idea if
this will lead to a permanent cure. There are no guarantees in life,
after all. However, I am showing some improvement already after just
a few short weeks. Also, to be fair, I have cheated on the raw thing
a few times, so my results may not reflect hers until I become more
disciplined and/or until more time has passed.
What kind of results am I seeing?
The main issues that have started
resolving themselves at this point in my journey are digestive.
Before I started this diet, I was, to put it bluntly, worshiping the
porcelain god on a regular nightly basis. Most nights of the week
would find me awake and suffering from extremely painful acid
re-flux, unable to digest most of what I had eaten that day. To put
it delicately, what won't go down has nowhere to go but back up.
Now the good news.
Since about a week after starting this
diet I am no longer having those late night episodes. You have no
idea how much of a relief that is. This week, I had one night where
the acid re-flux reared it's ugly head for what I am hoping was the
last hurrah. It was a very mild attack, though and not nearly as
intense as it used to be. So at least where the digestive issues are
concerned, I believe this diet is helping.
So, even if that's all the benefit I
get from purchasing this book, it's certainly worth the time, money
and effort. It's no fun feeling as if you have a horrendous case of
food poisoning on a nightly basis for sure. I'm so thankful for the
reprieve from that issue.
To what do I owe this relief?
Well, those green smoothies are an
absolute powerhouse of nutrition. In addition to the dark leafy
greens, they also contain organic powdered greens with added
vitamins, chlorella and spirulina, which, among other things are
wonderful for moving things along, if you know what I mean. And then
there is that gallon of daily water. That certainly doesn't hurt the
digestive process. It likely provides extra lubrication and also
flushes a lot of toxins from the system. Not to mention the fact that
banishing chemical ridden tap water from the diet is always a good
plan.
So there you go. Cross your toes and
fingers for me. This naturally healthy vegan grandma is taking things
to a whole new even healthier level. I may just beat this Lupus
thing, after all. And even if I don't, at least I will be getting
some awesome nutrition to help me fight it and feel better doing so.
Wish me luck!
