Today’s Testimony: Amazing health restoration by Cruz Joie

 by Cruz Joie

Today my diet is approx. 85% raw/15% cooked (some days all raw). Since making the dietary/lifestyle change, my back pain is gone, my bad sinus problems are gone, I have not experienced a head-ache, sore throat, cold, flu, upset stomach, been to a doctor, even taken an aspirin/tylenol in over 12 years!

 I suffered with lower back problems for a number of years, mainly as a result of a herniated disc in 1984 and in March, 1998 I experienced the worst "slip-disc" episode. I couldn't sit up for even a few seconds; I was flat on my back with a tremendous amount of pain. The inflammation was so bad that I was given anti-inflammatory drugs that made me feel very sick. After a daily routine of ice packs, chiropractic visits, therapeutic massage and physiotherapy, I returned to work after a month, continuing my gradual recovery program.

I felt that I could no longer endure the symptoms, the constant abdominal pain, the depression that I was experiencing, moment by moment, day by day, and week after week. So after much soul-searching and daily cries to God, I begged Him to heal me or take me; I just couldn't bear it any longer. There were many days when all of the physical symptoms and pain were so overwhelming that I just wanted to die; I had suicidal thoughts every other day. It was at this time that we received a call from some dear friends of ours who suggested that I slowly get off all of the man-made, synthetic, artificial vitamins and minerals and just take Barleygreen. They sent me an article on Barleygreen written by Dr. George Malkmus. This truly was a Godsend, an answer to many prayers. I got the correct information and continued with the dietary changes I had made, eating more raw fruits & vegetables, drinking lots of distilled water, and I bought a Champion Juicer and began juicing organic carrots.

You don't realize it, but if you've been on the world's diet, you may still have a piece of beef or turkey from 10 years ago still tucked away in your colon somewhere and if you've been taking the OTC (over the counter) and prescription drugs, you may have some drug you took years ago, still lingering in the fatty tissue somewhere.

And when you stop putting in the bad & start putting in the good, the body starts cleaning house or releasing these poisons/toxins into the bloodstream for removal from the body. And as they're released into the blood you may experience such things as cold/flu-like symptoms, headaches, nausea, fatigue, pimples, diarrhea, constipation, even pain in a place you were previously injured or had a physical problem. This isn't bad, this is a good thing!

I didn't get concerned about it because 60% of people don't even realize they're cleansing or detoxifying, 30% notice some of these symptoms, but they're mild. 10% may notice a severe cleansing reaction & if a person is having more intense detox. than they want to endure, all they do is back off of the concentrated nutrients (the Barleygreen or the carrot juice) & have an extra baked potatoe/brown rice. And what that does is just slow down the release of the poisons, they'll still come out, but over a more extended period of time & the body will still accomplish what we want it to accomplish.

Well I had a couple weeks of these cleansing reactions & then I had some days that I felt better than I had in a long time. Then I had days where I didn't feel so good, what's happening? More toxins coming out. It takes about one year to get all the poisons out.  Sodium chloride for eg., is a very toxic substance. Studies show that it shows up in the urine for up to one year after a person stops consuming it, as the body releases it from where its stored in the fatty tissues. It's a very awesome thing. So I had days where I felt better, days I didn't feel so good, days better than the previous better and days not so bad as the previous bad - like an upwards roller coaster and within 3 1/2 months all my physical problems were gone, including my back problems! They just slowly disappeared!

Today my diet is approx. 85% raw/15% cooked (some days all raw). Since making the dietary/lifestyle change, my back pain is gone, my bad sinus problems are gone, I have not experienced a head-ache, sore throat, cold, flu, upset stomach, been to a doctor, even taken an aspirin/tylenol in over 12 years! It's very exciting! I have more energy, endurance, and stamina than I have had in years. It's the most awesome thing to experience in your body, "ultimate health," on God's original diet. We're programmed to think that as you get older you're going to degenerate. My friends, life begins when you change your diet from the world's diet to God's diet! And you get progressively younger.
