MP,
I couldn't agree with you more!!! Two and a half years ago I was almost at a death wish...I had had been to every doctor possible and even naturopathic one. When I began I took out gluten, that was helpful, but I was still only able to function for a couple hours a day. Had colonoscopies, endos, blood test after test...on and on. I was told I had mastocystosis, leaky gut, allergies, IBS, you name it I was tested for it! But, nothing was consistant. After two years of struggling everyday with every kind of doctor I decided that was was going to eat only all natural foods! I dropped everything that had more than a few ingredients in it and if I didn't know what the ingredient was then I wasn't going to eat it.
Six month later and continuing on, I eat only lettuce, tomatos, natual salad dressing, some nuts, and a few different fruits. Sometimes homemade salsa and corn tortilla chips. It's working great for me!!! If you'd of asked me last year at this time if I ever thought I'd get better I would definately told you no. But I just kept plugging away at it and taking more and more foods out and finally figured it out!
BASICALLY IT COMES DOWN TO ONE WORD...CHEMICALS!!!!
My motto, if you couldn't eat eat it a hundred years ago, you shouldn't eat it now!
Oh, one more thing...I also suffered with severer anxiety and depression for about 15 years! All gone! I'm only 33 so thank God I figured it out! So many things got better when I got rid of the chemicals in my body!!!
I highly receommend it to everyone!
Take care and keep natural!
