Ovarian Cyst Healed with Good Nutrition & Juicing
Dr. Elson M. Haas, M.D., in his wonderful book, "Staying Healthy with Nutrition" states that while true fasting
is consuming only water, "juice fasting is more common, provides more
nutrients, and can be undertaken for a much longer period of time than
water fasting, but it is still deficient in total nutrition.
Drinking only fruit and vegetable juices can be done for several days,
a week or two, or even longer; the longer the fasting is done, the more
problems (called "cleansing reactions" by those experiencing them) and
deficiencies may be experienced......though I do not suggest fasting
as a weight-loss diet I do feel that it is one of the best natural
therapeutic tools available to the healing arts, given the right
situation".
I have a friend who has a wonderful story to share of how juice
fasting and good nutrition benefited her. One of the people that helped
her promotes the same supplements and methods that I do. I hope
you will enjoy her story, which follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Years Eve was over and a new year was just beginning. Thinking
that my year was going to begin healthy soon faded away when I woke up
to a piercing pain in my lower left side. The pain had been off and on
in the fall; however, I was able to ignore it and shake it off as
something small.
This specific morning was different. The pain didn't go away. It stayed.
I
couldn't call for a doctors appointment because that Monday was a
holiday and everyone was off for vacation. I did not want to go and sit
in the ER, so I took Ibuprofin all weekend. On Tuesday, I called to get
in; but could not be seen until the next day. When I went in to see the
PA; she thought it might be cysts on the ovary, but wasn't sure and
ordered an altrasound. When I went to schedule an altrasound, the
receptionist said that they couldn't get me in until February.
I
couldn't believe it! I was totally frustrated by the time I got home to
call the doctor's office. Since we are military, and are on government
medical insurance, I had to wait until the end of February to have an
ultra-sound done. There were other people on the list ahead of me. So,
the doctor put me on two kinds of medicine. I do not remember their
names; however, I do remember that it caused drowsiness. And, for me,
when medicine causes drowsiness; I am affected two times more than the
average person. I homeschooled my children and was expected to be on
this medicine!
My children's piano teacher was (and, still is)
a Distributor for (a company that supplies supplements and other
products). She introduced me to the vitamins earlier in the year; and
now she would share with me more information about "organic and herbal"
supplements. She put me on 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil to help cleanse
my body, and Chamomile tea. Meanwhile, another friend introduced me to
(someone selling Nature's Sunshine Products). Through both of these companies I was able to begin a path back to "wellness".
I
stopped eating meat, processed foods, pasta, and anything else with
sugar; preservatives, msg, etc. I bought organic fruits and vegetables
and began to juice. My family stayed on regular food because they
needed it; however, I knew (from books and literature that
I was reading) that I needed to cleanse my body and nurse it
back to health.
The date for my ultra-sound came. It showed a
cyst the size of a golf ball inside of my left ovary. The doctor over
seeing the ultra-sound recommeded surgery. My husband was beside
himself! I had my cervix removed at 33 because of health issues...going
to one ovary would totally put me into menopause at 36! He would not
hear of it and made me call to see a GYN. Again, with government
medical insurance...I had to wait until early April.
During
this time my pain was becoming less and I was beginning to believe that
the juicing was healing my body. April came and I went to see the GYN.
She wanted to put me on the pill. I didn't want to get on the pill
because of the side effects. My husband and I were able to convince her
to let me stay with "juicing" for a while longer. She gave me one
month. So, after leaving her office I set up an appointment for the end
of May.
On my next ultra-sound visit I had the same technician.
When she examined my left side she could not believe that I even had a
cyst a few months earlier. Her comment was, "If I hadn't seen the cyst
myself, I wouldn't believe you even had one. You don't have a cyst
inside your ovary at all!" She was just amazed.
I went out rejoicing! No surgery...no pill! ALL NATURAL!
I
am convinced to this day, that a person can heal their body. It's not
going to be overnight...it's not intended to be overnight. Healing is
intended for a period of time. My healing came with strong Faith in God
and relying on His wonderful provisions: Fruits and Vegetables. The
healing foods he provided for all of us.
