Health Benefits of SWBM
(First published in 2005) The difference in the way I feel and the fact that I'm no longer having to take expensive medications for conditions that no longer exist because of this eating plan, is worth more than I could ever imagine!!
I have a totally non-functioning thyroid because it was "killed" after two years of trying find medications that would prevent me from swinging from hyper-thyroid to hypo-thyroid from week to week. I was finally diagnosed with hashimoto toxicosis and was given radioactive iodine to kill the gland's ability to function. I've been on synthroid since 1980, and have now lost 130 lbs. with SWBM. It works. My dr. told me after reviewing the material that this was the best program he had ever seen and that it was far better than the diabetic "diet" he had me following, which, by the way, did not ever make a positive change in weight loss. I am now no longer diabetic, am off all medication for that, off all cholesterol meds., and yesterday I found out from the ophthalmologist that the pressure in both my eyes was now in the "normal" range, which is the first time in over 11 years that had happened. It dropped from 28 and 27 to 17 in both eyes!! In fact, he told me in all his years in practice (around 35 years), he had NEVER had a patient or even HEARD of a patient who had pressures lowered. At one time I was even on daily drops for glaucoma, but they did not help. I feel sure the weight loss and the fact that I'm off all added salt and preservatives has made a tremendous difference in my overall health. Also, after 15 year of constant joint pain all over my body, I am totally pain-free!!!! I am a huge advocate of SWBM, as you can see!!! Liz (1-14-05)
I have a totally non-functioning thyroid, and was told by the nuclear medicine specialist at the hospital after they "killed" my thryroid gland, that I would never be able to lose, but I'd always be able to gain. Talk about a death sentence. I believed that for a long time and just gave up trying. I guess what I'm trying to say is that are so many health benefits other than losing weight that SWBM can give you, why wouldn't you want to be on it totally?
