Health is a personal subject full of he said, they say, full of everyone’s ideas of how to get healthy from low fat recipes’ to eating completely raw. Who is right? Why do we die of complications our ancestors did not die of, such as cancer, heart disease, mental illness and over use of prescribed drugs. I cannot claim myself as an expert but only give you my story. I also may be too premature but I am thinking not. I do feel it is important to share. And yes I write this on my birthday. I write this to myself as a birthday present. I woke up actually refreshed from sleeping for the first time since I can remember, wow! A feeling that has been missing for so long.
I am going to try and be brief with this and hopefully not get to detailed. I basically just want to send a message out .
Lets say awhile back ago I went on a diet of raw food ,basically fruits and veggies the 80/ 10 /10 diet to be precise by Dr Douglass N. Graham. I had high blood pressure ranging 140-145 over 90 as an average. My doctor suggested I go and take atenolol a prescription drug. This actually worked for awhile by keeping it down to 120 /80 then shortly stopped working. I never went back to see what I could do. I just lived with it. I then went on this particular diet for about a month. I felt great and had more energy and actually got my blood pressure down to 120 /80 weaning myself off of the drug. But gave up on the diet. With blood pressure going back up.. years passed by and recently was feeling more deteriorated with my health. My blood pressure was going back up a little bit more, saying about 145 over 92 and sometimes higher . I tried an attempt to go back on the 80/10/10 diet with out success.I was not trying to confront it anymore. Then recently I developed some vertigo. I did not know what this was at the time and thought I was having a stroke. I dropped to the floor out of control. I ended up going to Emergency to find that this was the problem. Six months later relatively recently I felt myself getting dizzy a lot. I developed insomnia for the first time in of my life . Every night I went to sleep I could not close my eyes to sleep. I thought if I drifted asleep that I might die. With lack of sleep for days it was hard to concentrate . I felt a lot of uncomfortable physical manifestations, and was obviously tired a lot but felt adrenalin was keeping me awake. I was thinking I must be stressed or worried about something. I was definitely not unhappy but actually more excited about life than I ever have been . So I thought maybe I am to excited about life and must try to subdue myself. So I tried not thinking to much about anything and be as calm as possible. Still was not working. I could really understand how a person could literally go insane and want to seek treatment , then get pumped up with a bunch of drugs etc.
I was at my wits end . I would scour the internet for solutions about sleep and try them as much as possible I even ordered a new mattress, still on its way. Another sleepless night came, it actually came after a party I went to . I got to bring the cake home, yes very delicious and sweet . I ate it the next day. That night I could not sleep again. My body just felt pumped up yet I was tired. I checked my blood pressure it was the highest it has ever been 160 over 101. I thought even if I could sleep I might wake up dead. Ok, finally anxiety was starting to really happen. So I went to emergency. I sat in one of those rooms with curtains. I could hear the guy next to me talking his story about how he ran out of insulin for his diabetic condition. And would need to stay in the hospital for a few days to stabilize. .And I thought I had it bad. The doc came in, said I should see my doctor to get my sleep disorder and blood pressure handled. Said take one more pill of atenolol and relatively speaking my blood pressure being that high is not that I will die. He sent me home and I apologized for being so alarmed. I felt a little relived and was able to sleep a couple of hours. I decided I would not see my doctor. I did not want more drugs. I continued to look on the internet and came across a Doc Joseph Mercola.. he has a lot of info on his website . Two ideas stood out, not eating sugar and and anything that acts like sugar. And juicing your greens , veggies etc for a green drink. He has a whole program for taking back your health. And it is reading through his knowledge . and doing just a couple of things he says to do that I actually for the first time in what seems like years (for at least the last two days) brought my blood pressure to normal , and have been able to sleep and actually for the first time in a long while woke up actually refreshed. My understanding, many of us do not even know what it feels like to be healthy and for the first time I can understand why . We are actually slowing poisoning ourselves though the approval of the FDA and big pharma and profits. We are eating food, which is not food. The problem is so huge , the propaganda so convincing, the instant gratification being so important, the seeking of pleasure and comfort food so important as to make it ok to eat what is suppose to pass as food or if not considered food as desert type food may fall into, that we are actually fooling ourselves into dying a slow death. Eventually our life will lose vibrancy, we will feel more tired and old and then allow bigger illness to creep in and take us down. All because of the group agreement food is food. The giving of candy as a gift is actually the giving of poison. And to think we start right off poisoning our own kids ,using it as a treat. How ironic! It is up to you and know one else to take control of you health. The government , the FDA, other people will spoon feed you either ,on purpose, lies or out of their own ignorance what they may consider food that in actuality is poison. I highly recommend reading “SWEET DECEPTION” and “TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH” BY DR JOSEPH MEROCOLA. I KNOW THIS QUICK FIX THAT HAS WOKEN ME UP TO HEALTH IS ONLY A START. MY BODY HAS A WAYS TO RECOVERING FROM THE POSION I HAVE BEEN PUTTING INTO IT. GOOD LUCK AND I TOAST YOU WITH MY GLASS OF FILTERED WATER “ TO YOUR HEALTH”
