My name is Linda Clark and I am living in Reno, Nevada. I was born and raised in New Jersey (a great place to be from), that is until I was 26; I am now very close to 60 years old. I have five sisters, four children (one adopted child) and six grandchildren; they are all the light of my life, next to Jesus!
I once was sick and now I am not
About 3 years ago I started to have aches and pains creep upon me that I thought was the expected pains of old age. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (a disorder causing aching muscles, tiredness, and sleep disorders associated with abnormal levels of the brain chemicals that submit nerve signals). Wow!!!
I thought I’d better do something so I started taking a suitcase full of herbal supplements, lots and lots of herbal supplements. I guess too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily good – I overdosed on the supplements and my liver enzymes began to rise. The doctors told me to stop taking them.
Next…… I was sent to a few specialists to see why I was always tired; dizzy; and nauseous.
I also was told I had bone density loss in my right and left femur (I couldn’t get up once I bent down) and I was then diagnosed with osteoarthritis (also known as degenerative disease) in my hands and feet.
Are you bored yet? Am I describing you?
The neurologist start looking for Lupus and M.S. when he noticed some sort of white spots going on in my brain; he started me on some meds.
Now I had more meds to add to the one’s I was already taking for high-blood pressure, acid-reflux disease, and Zanax for the sleep deprivation . . . so why not a few more?
For 2 weeks I used the meds. In that two weeks, I used the Lord’s name in vain at one point, because I was just not me . . . that did it!
I threw all the meds away and went to see a nutritionist/massage therapist.
She laid her hands on me and announced that my body was full of toxins.
The toxins had to go!
I had so much blockage in my neck that I wasn’t getting enough blood flow to my brain (the blood carries the oxygen and I needed more oxygen in my brain!).
Three Months Later
I was off of all the meds I had been using for years, my energy is unsurpassed, the dizziness gone, the acid reflux gone, the high-blood pressure gone and I sleep like a baby . . . and after a few more months . . .
The symptoms for the arthritis in my hands and feet was gone. My eyesight improved, and my gums were healing (bonus) and the bone density loss . . .
well, I can bend down, AND GET BACK UP!
Thank God for creating the foods we need to survive…..
Between Juicing my body and eating almost 94% raw foods I am healed.
I don’t expect everyone to do what I did….after all I was dying….but if you learn to add some good and get rid of some bad….you will be well on your way, to having a new life….. And you don’t have to wait until you are actually dying.
I found out later that I was really close to a stroke and…..well……now….. I am not…
