After high stress and a diet of high salt and fats and being obese for many years, in 2016 I had four major strokes, in which I lost my ability to speak, drive and even ride my bike. I was told by all doctors I would never be able to do any of those activeites again, ever. Several weeks ago I began driving, which is making me free again after eight long years. I had bugun biking two years ago. Im off most of the 16 pills a day I was prescribed. My voice is accually returning. During my fight back I suffered 3 major setbacks. A bike accident and broken collar bone, two years ago a broken leg, and most recently a broken back. Im back to biking, and driving due to what the famous Linda Middlesworth taught me soon after my strokes. ” It’s the Food! It’s the Food! It’s the Food!!! I feel I’m truly, BACK FROM THE EDGE. You can also do this. Just try!

I went to college and became a registered nurse. As I was first working I wanted to understand about health. I was married and decided that working and raising children did not work for me. I choose to be a stay home mom and started reading health books. This took me on a very long journey of religion, traditions, and lies that needed to be removed from my perception. I am 72 now, divorced 18 years, retired, play league tennis on 2 leagues, writer of the book “Celebrating our Creators truth of love, life and light.” The second addition will be coming out in September, 2024 on Amazon. Since I was 32 I have been vegetarian and as I aged and internet became so accessible I learned from many people. The books that lead me to better health in my 30 and 40 was Fit for Life, Braggs books, The Essene Gosple of Peace, Mucusless Diet Healing System, and Natural Hygiene by Herbert M Shelton. I was very much a student of the bible as I was always looking for truth. Thankfully, King David left the aleph-tav in Psalms 119 which led me to study the light letters until I was released from the hold of the lies of the world and all its boxes. Health, truth, peace, love, light, life all are from our Creator and not a manmade god of religion. I live a simple quiet life, sharing when memory and opportunity shows itself to be beneficial and healthy. I take no medications, no vaccines, and have no medical doctor.

Thirty six years ago, I would have died. I was only 44 years old and had just been diagnosed with severe heart disease, high blood pressure, Thyroid Cancer, pre diabetes and I was almost 55 lbs. overweight. I was an aerobic instructor teaching 25 classes of aerobics per week. I thought I was eating a healthy diet of chicken, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Luckily for me, my then new neighbor told me about Dr. John McDougall and I read his book. I could not believe that his patients were all getting over cancer, heart disease, diabetes and all chronic diseases. I jumped right in and never went back for more radiation and now I have perfect health. I just had to change to a starch based, whole food plant exclusive diet without oil. Now, at 80 I have great health and energy and still teach aerobics.

I went 100% plant-based in 2015 due to witnessing my parents’ declining health due to heart disease, diabetes and dementia. I am the eldest of 8 and the only one of my siblings who takes no meds or has any medical issues of any kind. I have more energy than even my youngest sister.

Went vegan almost ten years ago after watching What The Health and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! I do it for the animals for the planet and for my health!

Vegan 8 years. Living it with my family of three!

I rid myself of health anxiety 7 years ago and changed my perception to risk of non communicable diseases. I am 100% plant based and 90% whole foods plant based. My family eats and lives like this too. Its truly empowering.

I actually did it! I broke free from eating animals and animal products! And I love it!

So many things have healed in my body since going plant based. My dry skin and scalp have healed. My digestive issues have improved so much and my blood pressure is healthy now.

In my eyes at the time, I was not experiencing any health issues. Since I was young and thin, what can be wrong right? I went vegan when I was 24 years old for the animals. After a year I realised how bad I was actually feeling. I had palpitations every few months which has only come back twice the first year of being vegan. I’m 27 now. My skin feels and looks better even though I never had any acne. And my organs feel like they are 5 kilograms lighter and resting. My body apparently was working overtime to process all the bad food that I ate before. When I eat less processed food I can also focus better on my work. I have ADD and have not used my medication for at least a year now. Having my body healthy gave me the time to focus on my mental health and now I can deal with my ADD much easier.

I was inspired by my neighbors who suggested I give up dairy for a couple of weeks when I told them about severe arthritic pain and heart palpitations. (Much of my diet consisted of milk – for Slim Fast shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, etc.) After complete miraculous relief after 2 weeks, I was totally convinced and started my move to a WFPB diet. I took off 45 pounds and have never felt so good! Watched lots of documentaries along the way to better inform and convince myself that this was absolutely the right path. But it was not until I witnessed the horrific images of senseless animal torture that were embedded into my brain, never to be erased, that I knew I was moving forward to a better, brighter future, never to look back.

My journey began like most with a carnivore diet or standard American Diet (S.A.D). I used to love my meats medium rare. I used to love eating McDonalds for convenience. I used to eat dairy. You Tube shaped my life towards WFPB one unrelated video to another and the pop up video suggestions somehow led me to Dr Brooke Goldner’s story on how she healed herself from her autoimmune immune disease while becoming a doctor. Evidence based information appealed most to me and when I trusted the evidence I progressed to listen to other people’s personal health journeys on related vegan, Whole Foods plant based, and raw vegans stories. I am a Chinese female who came to America when I was 5 years old and Luckily before the age of 47, my lab work were all normal levels. My blood pressure and energy level were my only concern and was not on any prescribed medications. I only recently this year 2022 at 47 years old start my whole food-raw plant based lifestyle as an self experiment. I am 48 now and have been transitioning well with 95% whole food raw plant based diet and 5% seafood or poultry (social family gatherings). I had notice without cardiovascular exercise that my blood pressure remains steadily around 115/75. The biggest difference I notice is in my maintain level of energy throughout the day. I hike mountains and I used to load up on a heavy meal before the activity but now I either fast, hydrate with coconut water or have a green drink before hiking and I have not feared my energy getting depleted during the exercise up to 2-3 hours long. I do listen to my body’s needs and it has served me well. I will continue to maintain my lifestyle and eventually be 100% whole food raw plant based but for now I am happy with results and knowing I am my biggest preventer of my own demise. I hope my story reaches someone.

I will share only one of the many benefits a WFPB diet gave me. For over 15 years I strenuously trained in those chi kung and tai chi exercises without ever being able to settle and build up, harness and circulate my mind/energy/chi throughout my body in a natural, easy and smooth way. All this started to change when I adopted a WFPB lifestyle almost 4 years ago 🙂 I can now teach what I learned, finally…
