"Welcome to the Phytonutrient Revolution!"
Wow! This book changed my life. Whether you're at your goal weight or 50 lbs over weight, this book is tailored to you. The problem with the Western culture's diet is that we are over-fed yet malnourished. It's true, & Dr. Fuhrman explains how.
There is so much valuable information in this book! If you are sick, have diabetes, migraines, are overweight, have skin ailments, high blood pressure, etcetera, than you should definitely take a peek. Did you know that by simply changing the way you eat to a nutrient dense diet, all those health conditions can be cured, & without any medication! I had no idea how much our diet affects our bodies.
In the book Dr. Fuhrman explains, in an easily comprehensible manner, how to have a diet filled with truly nutrient packed, whole foods. He describes how the food pyramid is backwards & all wrong, gives many helpful resources, & even has several pages of nutritarian recipes at the end. The most important thing to know about his book, is that he's a doctor who has seen tons of patients cured of their ailments just by following this nutritarian lifestyle.
On a personal note, I changed my diet to nutritarian while fighting cancer, & within 2 weeks I was able to stop taking my chronic pain medications. I had terrible migraines & body aches. I was, at one time or another, on Morphine, Dilaudid, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, Imitrex, Fiorinol, or Excedrin. I don't know if you recognize some of those names... but I was on some serious drugs for some serious pain, & now, NOTHING! No pain, which means no pain meds. I was on a handful of other medications to counteract the side effects of the pain pills & I was able to discontinue those, as well. So that, combined with an endless list of other benefits, is why I am an enthusiastic nutritarian!

Hello, I am following Dr. Fuhrman's plan for migraines. I do not get pain, but dizziness and visual symptoms. I am 10 days in and going strong. I have noticed my dizziness symptoms heightened at times though and guess I just need encouragement. I know that this is no quick fix, but do you think you could just let me know your story of how long you were doing this before seeing results? I would appreciate the encouragement. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHey Jill, sorry it took me a bit to reply. I have been following the nutritarian plan since November. I think it probably took me 2-3 weeks to start seeing improvements. But I had cancer at the time, & in mid December I got really sick for about a month. So I can't be very exact because while I was sick I didn't eat at all. However, I am cancer free now & I am improving weekly. I was having visual problems as well, so I got my eyes checked, & I needed a new prescription for my glasses. I am getting rid of all my chemo toxins, & will be for the next year or so, so I still experience toxin related headaches. So, I guess my advice for you would be to keep your head up & don't give up! It gets better, every day! More than just the sicknesses that I had before... my whole life gets better every day! I have so much energy & I have been inspired to change over to a completely all natural lifestyle. I find that if I feel a headache coming on, holding my hands over my eyes helps, especially if they're cold. Also, you may be experiencing allergies, I know I am! Anyways, I hope that was somewhat encouraging. Let me know if there is anything I can help you out with!
