*About 18 months ago, I began to experience severe middle and lower back pain. The pain was particularly bad early in the morning. It gradually worsened until it felt like my entire chest and spinal area were inflamed. It hurt to breath deeply.
A sneeze caused excruciating pain. I developed a soreness in the area just below my left knee which ultimately prevented me from running and playing tennis. The top of my right foot even became inflamed and it hurt to walk.
At night, at first I was unable to sleep oh my stomach as the back pain would wake me. Then later, even on my side, I would be woken up with back inflammation. I would start in bed, but after only 2-3 hours of sleep, I would be forced to try and sleep in a chair sitting up. It was the only way I found the pain subside enough for me to sleep.*
*Then I admitted at Hiranandani Hospital, I initially started with an 11 day fast and then gradually added back certain vegetables and fruits. This was done to give my digestive system a chance to heal.
Today, I am eating lots of vegetables, nuts, whole grains, fish and chicken. Every once in a while I will eat a portion of red meat. I take in very little sugar, and have avoided almost all desserts. I have also avoided most dairy products and "white" flour and rice. I now drink water almost exclusively. I do not drink milk or sodas, and rarely have fruit juice. I have also avoided almost all alcohol, although occasionally I will have a glass of wine.
*The results have been fairly dramatic improvement. My back pain has gradually subsided. The inflammation in my chest has disappeared. My foot is healed and even the pain below my knee is much better (although still present). I am playing tennis again and it feels wonderful.
my cholesterol dropped from 226 to under 150 during the last six months.
Thanks To Hiranandani Hospital and its staff.
