A
s a rheumatoid arthritis patient, myself, 13 years ago,
when I was bedridden and had deformities which I
continue to have, I didn’t have a choice not to heal myself. So,
I went from getting pumped with methotrexate, facing severe
hair fall, getting injections in my knuckles and bones without
anaesthesia all at once, (13 injections in a span of 40minutes!)
to giving up medications completely and taking the path of
healing. In retrospect, I understand that it may have been a
risky thing forme todobut at that time I was drivenbymy pain
and the focus to get rid of it. I managed to clinically reversemy
rheumatoid arthritis, with negligible pain, no swelling, anti-
CCP back in range from being above 2000, ESR and C-reactive
protein back in range and a negative RA factor. It is only after I
got certified as a nutritional therapist that my journey to help
thousands of people with lifestyle conditions began. Lifestyle
conditions today rely heavily on doctors, hospitals, hence
increasing the burden onmedical care, health care and health
insurance. When we go back to the root causes of why these
conditions began in the first place, it is much easier to reverse
them without medications or with minimal medications.
Management of these conditions with medications usually
leads to various organs in the body being affected and a
poorer quality of patient life. The focus of nutritional healing
is to not only to reverse these conditions, strengthen the
organs but also help the patient get a better quality of life and
increase longevity. With clinical data and case studies withme
in the last 11 years, I am happy to say that I have reversed
type 2 diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, heart
blockages, high cholesterol, hypertension, endometriosis and
many more conditions without medications, with nutrition.
At this conference, I will be sharing some of the clinical data
via my presentation and how reports which were out of
range came back in range as well as other data points for
the patient before and after. When I share that I have been
able to use nutrition effectively to reverse lifestyle conditions
including cancer and depression, what does that mean?
I do not use only physical nutrition; I also use emotional
nutrition. The mind and body are connected with each other
and in lifestyle conditions, the quality of life of the individual
is affected, causing severe anxiety and in many cases of
autoimmune conditions (which are not lifestyle conditions
but aggravated by stress) and cancer (70% of all cancers are
lifestyle related), there is severe depression due to physical
disabilities, chronic pain and fatigue. In such cases, once we
get the physical nutritional balance in place, we step by step
start getting emotional balance in place via oxygenating the
body with breathing techniques and meditation. Meditation
has clinically been recorded to repair the DNA and I quote the
researchof AlbertaHealthServices, Nov 2014, fromwhere this
data has been taken. In this clinical data it’s only proven that
just 3 weeks of meditation was shown to increase the length
of telomeres in breast cancer patients, hence scientifically
demonstrating the DNA repair. The study was published
online in the journal Cancer. This is the power of meditation,
or what I commonly use as part of my emotional nutrition
practice. With my case studies and a rich inventory of data
coming up on clinical studies demonstrating the continued
benefits of physical and emotional nutrition to heal chronic
conditions, like HbA1C coming back in range & staying there
by changing lifestyle habits, cholesterol & heart blockages
reducing, auto antibodies reducing, inflammation & cancer
markers coming back in range, we should be turning more
towards using the science of nutrition to repair and restore
the human body and mind rather than using suppressive
techniques to just manage a chronic condition. Let us all
rethink the way we treat our patients and integrate holistic
