I thought I was dying! I am a wrestler, martial artist, and musician and I
got very sick. And the signs all showed that there was no escape from the
hell that I was going through. My body was getting weaker. I was depressed. I
could no longer eat. I was bed ridden. And I just wanted it to all be over.
Well, modern day medicine was my only hope
at that time. I went to the doctors at first and they told me that I just had
indigestion. I needed an antacid like Protonix® or Tums® to help relieve the
struggle of breathing and terrible pain in my chest. No x-rays! No blood work!
Just a prescription!
So I trotted off to the pharmacy with my prescription
in hand. I was so happy that I was going to feel better that I could not wait.
I took the pills and reclined on the couch to feel the miracle of modern
medicine. And I kept waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Before you know it,
it was 12a.m and I could not breathe, pain was radiating in my chest, and I was
feeling like every other night - LIKE I WAS DYING!
A couple of days later, I was admitted into
the ER with my symptoms. They ran every test known to man. I was shot up with
dyes and then put under high radiation. Then they poked me with a numerous
amounts of needles and probed me to an uncomfortable level. I felt like I might
have been abducted from aliens and I was the subject of an experiment. The
other part that I was really feeling is that I was not in control.
But I was hopeful. I really thought they would come back to me and say that
all it was a little something that they can take care of right away. Well, they
did not do that. They said that if I was having a heart attack then it was over
and that they needed me to be having a
heart attack to see what was going on with my heart. And that they needed
to stick a camera down my throat to see if I was having ulcer attacks. And they
wanted to see if my kidneys were failing. Now that kind of medical attentiveness
has me really wondering what they really know about medicine in the first
place. They were just guessing!
They checked me out of the hospital again
and there were more severe attacks through out the weeks to come. I was sure
that I was going to die and I just wanted it to go fast if I was
going to die. I was depressed and in no way feeling like I was ever going to
feel better. Those times were the worst and increasingly got to the point where
they needed to admit me back into the hospital again. And I felt out of
control.
I was there with a heart monitor,
tubes up my nose, and needles in my arms. But I was sure that they would find something this time because I went
to a different hospital. I was visited by family and friends. That was the
great thing. The bad part about it was I thought this was my last days to see
these people again if they did not figure something out. Test after test
after test. I was moved 5 times in 3 days. There were
specialists that did not speak to other specialists in the same field, and they
made me do tests twice over. I was never visited by my regular doctor. My care
was under par, in my opinion, and I was sick as a dog. What were
they thinking? Why so much confusion. I was better off at home than in the
hospital. I just wanted to go home. They said I did not have ulcers, nor a
heart attack, and that my gall bladder was bad but not to worry. A doctor later
told me after he determined that I did not have asthma that he thought that the
bad gall bladder was the main issue and all my symptoms reflected a diagnosis
that my gall bladder was the culprit. He said I needed to take it out! "A
simple surgery", he said. My only thought was didn't I need the gall
bladder for something? And how come it took a respiratory doctor to tell me
what is wrong with me and not the three gastro doctors? Confusing how this
whole thing works.
Well, something needed to be done. I was
desperate and depressed. I just wanted to live a healthy life. I prayed
to god for a miracle and discovered it in a health food store. There was a card
on the information shelves that said Ron Logan: Iridology. I called
and said it was an emergency. I was able to get in to see this remarkably busy
man in no time flat. And I am so glad I did.
Ron looked into my eyes, told me about all
the things that were wrong with me and even told me about things that I could
net believe he knew about, like my shoulder being popped out of socket. He said
it was healing fine. I thought he was psychic. Turns out he was this amazing
man that studied modern medicine and alternative medicine. He has more
credentials after his name that what I can even say. He said that all things
are connected and that if one thing is going wrong in the body, that the
chances that there are other things in the body that are going wrong, too. I
listened and listened well. He was a whirlwind of information, and of hope. He
said that I should follow his plan, clean out my body of toxins, and flush my
gall bladder.
I did exactly what he said. I went to
Nature's Sunshine and bought the Clean
Start to detoxify my bowels, ALJ
for lung support for my labored breathing, Bowel
Detox and Nature's
Three for my after treatment from the Clean Start, and a gall bladder flush
using unfiltered apple juice, lemon juice, and cold-pressed olive oil. Guess
what happened? I got better! In three days I was on my feet again. In one week,
I was eating better, and 10 days later I was ready to take on the world! I had
some catching up to do with my body being so weak but I was back in business
with my health.
I do not treat this lightly. I was in the
worst shape of my life. I was so sick that I thought I did not have a fighting
chance and I was not in control. Now, I am in control! I am
back to wrestling, practicing karate, playing music, and going
to work. I am eating a mostly fruit and vegetable diet (Paleolithic diet to be exact) with less
emphasis on eating meat. I work out faithfully four times a week, and have
reconnected with my spiritual side. I am a better man and I owe it all to the
gift of knowledge Ron Logan gave to me and the Nature's Sunshine
Products I took to heal myself.
I would never tell anyone to stop taking
drugs or never go see the typical western doctor. I am just not a firm believer
in it now that I am studying more about why we have so many diseases like
cancer and obesity. The American lifestyle is not healthy. It is a fact. Just
go to the Center for Disease Control (CDC)
and look up the information for yourself. It will astonish you, I am certain of
it. And the care you get is marginal from doctors and hospitals, in my opinion,
based on the research I discovered about how doctors use drugs to help solve
the problems, not help cure the entire body. Just read what is on your birth
control pill or antibiotic fact sheet the pharmacy gives you to see what
conditions and side effects occur when you take these things. This will scare
the hell out of you! And food is a big part of our problem, too. We eat so much
processed foods, dairy, and salt (different from sodium) that we are
on the decline from birth, it seems. We are blind to this information because
we are competing against high dollar marketing campaigns from the different
dairy, meat, or processed grain company's that the "truth" gets
buried. Can anyone say cigarettes are good for you? Now a days, no. But at one
time they were thought of as a relaxer for digestion. What!? I think there is a
revolution about to happen again with the industries and that people are going
to wise up about their health.
I hope my story has helped you in some way
to see a different side of how you look at your health and the care
that you get. Never stop learning and never stop believing
there is some way out there that can help you if you are sick. Look to these
disciplines for your questions about health issues:
Certified Health Specialists
Nutritional Counselors
Master Herbalists
Master Iridologists
Doctor's of Naturopathy
