Your ministry is a testimony in my life. Last Thanksgiving weekend, I made a decision to change my diet and lifestyle for good. I knew all about it. I read your books and have been to your seminar and believed everything you taught, for over 7 years at that point, but I hadn't changed my diet.
I tried to dabble a little with it about 7 years ago, but did not go all the way. That didn't work for me. I have to be all in or I am all out.
Here are a few of the ailments that I was suffering from, at the point of my decision. Severe sleep apnea. I was sleeping on a CPAP machine and without it I would probably be dead by now. I was over 100 pounds overweight. I was even considering the lap band surgery. I probably would have went for it but my insurance didn't cover it. I am glad about that now. Acid reflux would wake me up every night, with a severe burning in my chest. I ate acid indigestion medication like candy. I had bleeding hemorrhoids constantly. I had severe allergies, causing constant sneezing and runny nose. High blood pressure. Cholesterol and triglycerides were through the roof. Back pain, causing me to take pain meds almost daily.
Now, it is 4 months later. I just had a physical with some great results. Triglycerides 629 to 57, blood pressure 145/95 to 110/69, LDL Cholesterol 333 to 113, and resting heart rate 85 to 60. I lost 70 pounds. This is all in one years' time. Allergies are all but gone. No more hemorrhoids. Praise God for that. Absolutely no acid reflux. No back pain. I do not need the CPAP machine to sleep and do not snore at all. Before, I could wake the neighbors with my snoring. I now run about 4 miles per day and work out with weights 3 days per week. I have unbelievable energy. My goal is to run in a half marathon in December. I hope that this is an encouragement to all. God bless you and your ministry.
