Irene lost 50 pounds and is pain free by following the Eat To Live plan!

Dear Dr. Fuhrman,

I am writing this letter to you with sincere gratitude for the medical care and advice you gave me. I consider you a consummate professional.

In September 2003, I began to experience severe neck pain while on vacation. The pain radiated up into the back of my head, along with a sensation of intense heat. My blood pressure was 196/150. My family doctor just advised me to take 4 advils for the pain.

I received medical advise from five physicians and underwent multiple medical tests. I continued to not only experience the pain and the above mentioned symptoms, but I also had numerous adverse reactions to the muscle relaxants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications that were prescribed for me. I also experienced a gastrointestinal bleed and severe dizziness that required an emergency room visit.

The 5 physicians diagnosed me with spinal stenosis, cervical radiculopathy, occipital neuralgia, degenerative disc disease, osteopenia, myelopathy, hypertension and sarcopenia. I felt horrible.

In February 2006, I had the great fortune of meeting you. I followed your expert medical advice and read Eat To Live. I am now 97% pain free and my blood pressure is within the normal limits as recommended by the American Heart Association. I am walking approximately 2 miles a day. I am not taking any pain medication — not even a Tylenol! My weight has dropped to 136 lbs., 50 pounds lighter.

Eat to Live has all of the information that medical schools and advanced nurse practitioner programs teach about the normal function of the human body. What happens to that knowledge in practice? Our American culture seems to be more disease oriented as opposed to wellness oriented.

Simply said, thank you Dr. Fuhrman from my heart.
