Being new to the forum and learning from the other members experiences, I like to contribute by sharing my own significant finding in regards to nutrition last year.
I learned its not about eating healthy food alone, but eat the right food for you.
Most of my life I have struggled with various symptoms which to me became a normal part of my life and I just sucked it in. In retrospect what a waste of my life and a living hell.
For the last decade I knew something was wrong and the General Practitioners was helping me with antibiotics and antihistamines which only cured the symptoms and not the real cause.
With hints from Chinese Medicine and a more holistic approach I started my own process of finding a cure, but I utterly failed as I applied it randomly and I could not decipher the results, but I learned that there is something in the food that start the reactions.
My symptoms was (in non medical terms): foggy brain, "stains" in my vision, all kind of bowel problems, chest pain, pain in my hands, skin problems, sleeping problems, restlessness and a roller coaster ride of mental issues. These symptoms started small over decades and just got worse until my body collapsed last year and I lost 20 kg and with a non-functional digestion.
I stumbled over this wiki page and when reading the symptoms section - I was thinking "wow that's me described!".
Then I found the book Clean Program by Alejandro Junger. Read it twice and started the 21 days diet without the suggested shakes, but with some advised supplements.
Day two into the diet was a life changer for me. The fog from my brain cleared, my vision improved, especially the peripheral vision. The pain in my body drained out as a feeling of dark poison leaving my body. It was a game changer for me. I left the office and walked the park, I was so scared of loosing this feeling of clarity. Hard to admit in public, but I cried.
Now I have claimed my life back. A life with a strict diet without any types of grains (wheat, barley, rye and oat), corn (including all corn derivatives), most seeds and legumes, egg and diary products. In practical terms: no bread, pasta, beer, cheese, egg, junk food, pizza and basically processed products are forbidden. Yes, I really miss drinking beer.
A curse and a blessing for me. The curse is that I enjoy any types of food and the blessing is I eat more healthy.
Next chapter for me is to accomplish the S&S simple goal.
Advice everyone to at least once in their life to try a cleanse, it worked for me.
Power to you!
