Robert's Story

I gained about 30 pounds seemingly overnight. At age 34 I began having labored breathing and was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. This disease caused significant scarring over a large area of my lungs. I began the standard treatment which consisted of a biopsy and steroids.   

Another 20 pounds and three years later, I was having lunch at an all-you-can-eat buffet with friends from work. That was my turning point. My life changed when the button on my last comfortable pair of pants snapped and the zipper broke. I was literally busting out at the seams. I didn't even have a belt to hold my pants up. I think I might have tried stapling them. To conceal my dilemma, I decided to remain seated behind my desk for the remainder of the day. As fate would have it, there was a fire in the building and everyone had to evacuate. I was exposed. It was funny, embarrassing and deadly serious all at the same time.

That day I decided that I had to change. I found Dr. Fuhrman's book. It made perfect sense to me. Six months later I was 60 pounds lighter and my wife noticed a lump in my neck. The lump had been there for years, but without all my fat obscuring it was now readily visible. I had assumed that my gasping was the result of the sarcoidosis. It turned out I had a massive thyroid cyst in my neck blocking my windpipe and cutting off my air supply. It had to be removed.

A couple of days prior to surgery, I was given an MRI which showed I had no traces of the sarcoidosis. It had completely cleared up just as Dr. Fuhrman had predicted. Very sobering is the fact that had I not adopted Dr. Fuhrman's advice the cyst would have remained obscure and would have shortly burst. I would not have lived to have the benefit of being on the operating table.

I am now 46 years old, run about 20 miles a week and have unbelievable stamina.  I feel great, look ten years younger than I did two years ago and take no medications. I have competed in several triathlons and am preparing for my first marathon.

You too can achieve your ideal weight, reverse disease and yes, even delay the aging process.
