How Diet and Whole Food Supplements Helped Me Heal
FAQ: My
Experience With NRT (Nutrient Response Testing)
1)
Why was my
health so bad?
From
a young age, I ate too much and rarely gained enough weight to become fat. I played sports and practiced no matter how
much pain I was in. Over the years I
kept working hard and eating hard, ignoring my body’s signs. By 21 I was in the hospital, one of the
youngest patients with diverticulitis.
My health deteriorated until I spent 3 years surviving to go to doctor’s
visits.
2)
What’s wrong
with gluten? Bread has been around since
the time of Jesus!
The
answer is Nothing! Jesus’s bread was
sprouted grain! In the USA, gluten is often processed and
this processed gluten is the issue. It’s
even used as an additive in other products that don’t have wheat in them. That’s why some non-wheat based foods like
peanut butter will have GF on the label.
My diet actually allows some naturally occurring gluten: in stores it’s called “sprouted grain.”
3)
Is a high
protein diet dangerous for my cholesterol?
As
hard as it is to believe, steak and even bacon can be important for
health! In the next few years you’ll see
several trained cardiologists revealing the greater truth about cholesterol. In simple terms: the sugars and inorganic chemicals our bodies
were not meant to process so often are a big part of the problem. I’ve included one quick link just to show
that this information is out there(see #1 at the bottom).
4)
Was changing my
diet, rather than the supplements, what really helped?
Correct! According to Dr. Russo it’s 25% supplements
and 75% diet. You might wonder if
supplements are necessary at all! To
that end, Dr. Russo just starts us off with a few supplements and no diet
changes. We return in a few weeks and
are asked about our health. The changes
I noticed were that ingrown toenails on both feet were gone and my toes had
healed. In addition, I had a lump on my
neck that, though it was benign, was annoying..
This lump had shrunk by half.
5)
Is it too good
to be true?
Yes,
it feels that way! I had so many
persistent health problems I was bound to see some results quickly. In addition, I was very ready to do anything to improve my health so I
followed the diet when I was instructed to.
Lastly, though I was unhealthy, my body was (is) still young. All these factors made me an ideal candidate
for my body to heal itself very quickly.
6)
What health
problem took the longest to heal?
My
eyes took nearly a year. They were so
light blind that I struggled to see sunlight, projectors, TV, even a phone not-on-the-lowest
brightness. At times, my eyes hurt so
much I couldn’t keep them open. Eye
doctors saw nothing wrong with my putting in drops every 45 minutes. Now, I take over-the-counter drops maybe
every 8 hours, and I never have the pain so bad I can’t keep them open.
7)
Okay, I’m
interested. But I live in (Insert
Location Here), what can I do?
Training
for NRT is Ulan Nutritional Systems Inc. Florida (link #2) .
While, there might be more practitioners in that area, there’s a network
that extends across the US. You might
have to drive an hour to get to the closest location, but hopefully in time
there will be more!
