My Path to Health
As a child, I suffered from constant sinusitis and headaches. As an adult, the headaches persisted, and I visited the doctor at least 3 or 5 times a year with bronchitis, and was regularly put on several courses of antibiotics. One of my hobbies at this time was scuba and free diving, but I frequently could not enjoy it, and often had to cancel because of my sinusitis and sinus headaches when diving. In my late thirties (2008), I was bitten by a venomous spider, and subsequently hospitalized, and treated with a plethora of medicines. As a consequence, I developed fibromyalgia and restless leg syndrome.
Fast forward to 2018, when my wife and I started training for triathlons. Not to compete-to-win, just to complete. My cholesterol levels rose the harder I trained, which seemed counterintuitive. We started waking up to the medical fraud, our poisonous food, drinks, supplements and medicines, and the medical misinformation.
We met Johan from Go Natural during this time. Studied his book and several other books and took the appropriate measures. I did some detoxing via 21day and 28day water-only-fasts. We had our teeth looked at, and I had a terrible infection due to implants and root canals over the years. I subsequently had them all removed. We started planting our own herbs and veg, invested in a grain, stone mill, masticating juicer, oats roller, and dehydrator over the next few years. We threw out the microwave oven and the toxic cleaning products, etc. We started eating organic as much as possible, we stopped buying any food boxed, packaged, bottled, or processed.
We use no supplements, no medication, no pills or injections. My wife and I stopped all medication. We drink raw milk. I also continued doing one long wateronly-fast per year. Our water is either real spring water or distilled, no bottled water, no water with chloride or fluoride. We stopped using toothpaste with fluoride, we use coconut oil. These are some of the key changes that we have made, as we came to realize the toxicity of many of our daily products.
The result is that my sinusitis has disappeared completely. My headaches disappeared completely. I dive without headaches now. My restless leg and fibromyalgia have disappeared. We haven’t been to see a doctor since 2018 and I never get bronchitis anymore either.
When we do feel queasy, we can usually pinpoint what caused it, be it eating pizza at a restaurant or having a rusk made with sugar at a friend’s house. On the whole, we strive to eat very cleanly, but trust our bodies to be strong enough to detox appropriately when we eat something unhealthy, as the building blocks in our systems are solid.
It’s been a life-changing experience.
