It’s been five years since I first set out on a journey to find an alternative to conventional medicine for my son’s severe IBS/IBD issues. His stomach problems were so intense that he spent an entire summer locked in his room, curled up in pain, on top of all the debilitating side effects he suffered from prescription drugs.
The issues had actually started years earlier and just kept getting progressively worse. Medications didn’t help—they only triggered more side effects, including intense anxiety. It became a vicious cycle. It broke my heart to see my son suffering and missing out on some of what were supposed to be the most fun and memorable times of his youth.
I kept thinking there had to be a better way. Something was causing his stomach problems, but what? His Doctors didn’t know the cause, they just offered prescription medications. I’ve always been an avid water faster, so I wondered: Could water fasting help him? I started researching and eventually came across Dr. Alan Goldhamer from the True North Health Center. After a phone consultation, he simply said my son was eating too much meat and recommended switching him to a plant-based diet.
I didn’t know how to start but I followed his advice and did more research, which led me to Dr. Brooke Goldner and her GoodBye Lupus website. I took the course on her website, but I also learned she was teaching an online course through Cornell University, so I enrolled. I was amazed by how many diseases a properly executed plant-based diet could help reverse.
I decided to start drinking Dr. Goldner’s hyper-nourishing smoothies myself first—testing them for three months before giving them to my son. I loved them! I also made large salads my main meals, just as she recommended. Little did I know, I had quietly transitioned from the Standard American Diet to eating fully plant-based.
When I finally introduced the smoothies to my son, he welcomed them surprisingly well and even started asking for them on his own. Within just three weeks of hyper-nourishing with the smoothies, his IBS/IBD symptoms improved by almost 100%.
Coincidentally, about four months after I began following Dr. Goldner’s Goodbye Lupus protocol, I had my yearly checkup. To my astonishment, all my blood work came back perfect. The markers for anemia, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes were gone. My MS symptoms had disappeared, and so had my high blood pressure—all with no prescription drugs and no supplements.
It’s been three years now. My son continues to hyper-nourish, and I have no intention of ever giving up my smoothies or eating plant-based. This way of eating literally gave both my son and me our lives back!
Thank you Dr. Alan Goldhamer for your time and for your generous phone consultation.
And last but not least, Thank you Dr. G for giving my family our lives back!
