For years I have suffered from fibromyalgia-like pain, chronic sinusitis, panic attacks, bouts of depression, fatigue, dizziness, yo-yo dieting and continued weight gain. These health issues were affecting all aspects of my life. Each day it was getting harder to walk without pain and then so many of my other health problems would come into play.
One morning after a sleepless night and not being able to turn over without pain, I thought ENOUGH, I've got to do something to get my health back. I had tried many different medications for these health problems but they just had not worked. My son had mentioned Dr. Mercola and the Optimal Wellness Center to me as someplace that I should think about going. He had first heard Dr. Mercola on the radio and had implemented many of his recommendations for his triplets who had a rough beginning, and for himself and his wife.
The triplets are so healthy now and my son and his wife are the picture of health and have incredible energy, which they definitely need with their active triplet daughters!
So I went on the Web site and read all about the center at the New Patient page and the people who were part of Dr. Mercola's team. I decided this was for me. Their focus is on healthy living in the most natural way possible. I made my appointment and so my journey to health began.
My Journey to Health
I met with a nutritionist who is awesome in his knowledge of nutrition and ability to interpret my nutritional type questionnaire, make my diet fit me personally and also help me understand the supplements I needed on the program and why I should take them. He gave me many tips to make it easier to follow my diet and is a great support in every way.
I also met with Kathy Foulser, who is an EFT practitioner, with much skepticism and was pleasantly surprised at how well EFT works for the stresses in my life.
All of these people have been an integral part of bringing me from sickness to health.
Dramatic Results in Less Than Five Weeks
I have been following the program since March 1, 2004 and have had dramatic results. I lost 16 pounds in just 4 1/2 weeks and continue to lose each week, and my fatigue has been replaced by great energy!! My fibromyalgia pain has diminished by 80 percent and the little arthritic nodes on the joints of my fingers are no longer red and painful and their size is diminishing!
I no longer have bouts of depression, dizziness or panic attacks, and the sinusitis I have suffered from for more years than I can remember is improving daily. It is great to be active again and to be able to really play with all those grandchildren of mine. I am also so much more clear-headed and in-focus in all my activities as well as my job.
I am much more aware of my emotional eating patterns and am now able to redirect my thoughts from food to an activity that is enjoyable to me such as exercise, cross stitch or reading. Staying on the program was not as difficult as I thought it would be.
My cravings were gone within 10 days and as my health returns and the weight comes off I am reinforced to stay on the program.
I juice greens before each meal and eat lots of vegetables and fruits that are included in the diet for my nutritional type as well as chicken and turkey. I am never hungry and my acid reflux has stopped. I no longer take tablets for that! I thought giving up grains and sugar--and especially coffee--would be my biggest challenge but that did not prove true. The nutrients I get from the juices and my diet, and of course the 12 glasses of water I drink, keep me full and satisfied.
I have found a new way of eating that I know will give me a long and healthy life.
My Body Heals Itself
My family of a wonderful husband, five children and their great spouses and 19 grandchildren have been a great support to me and are telling me how wonderful and youthful I'm looking. It's been a long time since anyone has given me these types of compliments. I thank God always for my family.
I also go to South Africa for a month each year to teach preschool Zulu children and do ministry with the Zulu people. My last trip I was not myself and was so fatigued I was not sure I could go back again. Now with my health returning I am planning a trip this year!
Dr. Mercola talks about the benefits of the program, such as:
As my body heals itself on this healthy lifestyle, I believe there is nothing I cannot accomplish with the rest of my life.
I now want to join a hiking club and then who knows, the world is my oyster with this new health and energy. I praise God for directing my path to the Optimal Wellness Center and all the incredible people who are there to support you.
With warmest regards to all who read this,
Gloria Reilley
