Amy is a lovely student I met in a Fitness Class I guest taught at ISU this summer.

She was curious about the topic of aspartame poisoning after we discussed the top ten food additives to avoid and why.   She decided to stop drinking diet pop.

I am really glad she did.

Thank you Amy for sharing your story! 

Why I Gave Up Diet Coke?

By: Amy Wilson

Since Coca-Cola first hit the market in 1886, it has been one of America’s favorite beverages.  What is it about Coca-Cola that makes it so irresistible?  As a heavy diet coke drinker, I myself could not seem to put it down.  One day, I looked at the ingredients on a can of diet coke and was astounded by my findings; I had no idea what some of the ingredients were.  Diet coke contains: carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame (an artificial sweetener), phosphoric acid (used primarily in the manufacture of fertilizers, detergents, and pharmaceuticals), potassium benzoate (a chemical preservative), natural flavors, citric acid (a natural preservative, benign cleaning agent, and acts as an antioxidant), and more caffeine (a stimulant) than both coke zero and classic coke.  Concerned about the toxins I was taking into my body, I decided to give up diet coke for two weeks and see how I felt.  In the meantime, I planned to research and figure out what all the mysterious ingredients were.  On day one of my two week trial, I sat down and figured out how much diet coke I was actually drinking; the numbers were startling.  On average I drank 60-90 ounces of diet coke daily.  As my consumption of diet coke had become a consistent part of my day, so did headaches, bloating and gas, digestive problems, and fatigue.  To counter-balance the fatigue, I drank more diet coke and even some coffee.  On day one I was feeling pretty good, but I could tell fatigue was setting in.  By day three and day four, I was in bad shape.  I had extreme fatigue, headaches, and agitation; I was going through caffeine withdrawal.  After day seven, all my side effects had subsided and my health related problems significantly reduced.  It has been two months now since I chose to give up diet coke and I’m feeling better than ever; I’m able to focus without the use of any caffeine.  I don’t think that give up soda cold turkey is the best suggestion for everyone, but cutting back can’t hurt.  Maybe it’s time you evaluate your own soda consumption and see how it may be affecting your health.

 

Colitis and Nutritional Supplements Testimony

Testimony

I hesitate to tell this story for two reasons:

I feel sometimes testimonies can be a little hokey.

I don’t want to represent alternative solutions as “miracles”.

Then I appear to be hokey, ya know?

Secondly, this particular testimony is a tad graphic. Yet this was a major health issue that was helped by nutritional supplementation, the recovery of which was truly remarkable.

It’s a story worth sharing.

A friend recommended that this twenty something male friend of hers contact me. He was stressed, working 3 jobs, newly engaged and very sick. He had not had a solid bowel in years, he bled rectally. He slept in a fetal position from cramping. He lived on pop. He navigated his day from bathroom to bathroom. He was diagnosed with colitis and they were recommending surgery. The kind of surgery where you end up with a poop bag on the outside of your body for the rest of your life.

With the help of my mentor,  we recommended a rather aggressive high quality digestive health nutritional protocol. We included nutrients that were healing, that reduced inflammation naturally, eventually we added nutrients to help him rebuild his health. He was eager to be well, and so compliance wasn’t an issue. He weaned from pop. We guided him to healthier eating. He did this with such enthusiasm. He was the kindof of client who says tell me what to do and does it!  Weeks later he called me and openly wept, he had his first solid bowel movement in a decade. 10 years. WOW. This young man went on to completely recover and avoid surgery.

If you appreciate testimonies in my writings please let me know.  There are many more that I can share!
