A New Dawn - A New Way of Thinking
I recently had two miscarriages as a result of PCOS. I used clomid both times, but only used progesterone the last time, but it didn't help. My husband and I really didn't want to try to conceive a third time with the same drugs, and possibly get the same results. As I searched online to find solutions and alternatives to our tragedy, I found A New Dawn. After placing the order for the books and speaking to Ian Stoakes, the author, I decided that it was time for A New Dawn in my life too. I was very excited to find out that there were other solutions to my medical problems, and the decision to get better was in my hands alone - and not the medical profession. I just couldn't believe that it was as easy as eliminating the stimulus that was causing the inflammation in my body, and all my medical problems would be a thing of the past. After realizing what the stimulus was, I realized that I hit the jack pot.
I also suffered from chronic and severe uticaria and angioedema since April of 2000, and the culprit was always the preservatives and dyes in different food and household products that we used on a daily basis. One disease would cause my skin to swell up like the cartoon character, the Incredible Hulk, and the other would create a pattern of wheels all over my body. The doctors never gave me a test to see what particular food items were causing the problems, we just attempted a process of elimination, but it didn't really work. I was used to taking 28 pills daily and eventually, for the most part, the skin diseases came to a halt. I still suffer from them at times, and I've realized that my suffering was due to my diet, but I really didn't have a means to figure out what particular ingredients were causing the problem. After speaking to Ian, I realized that taking the EPC test would help my husband and I to finally have a healthy baby, but it would also help with my skin issues. I'm excited to finally realize that I don't have to be sick and deal with the pain.
My husband and I took the test on August 16th, and received our results on August 27th. Some of the food items on our results took me for surprise, and others I pretty much knew were off limits, but the test confirmed my suspicions about the food products that I've been avoiding for years. I will miss eating salmon, rye, spinach, pork, milk, sugar, and wheat; however, I've decided to embrace my new eating plan, and enjoy my choices to the fullest, just as I try to live life to the fullest. My husband is more of a go with the flow type of guy, and the items he can't eat are not really a big deal. He's able to adjust to this new eating plan so so much better than I have. Before we got the results back, he said, "it really didn't matter what he could or couldn't eat as long as we can have a baby, and his high cholesterol is decreased," and I was encouraged by his attitude.
After a couple of days of receiving our results, we cleaned out the cabinets and the refrigerator of any off limit food items, and gave them to our family members or friends. Then, we went shopping, and realized that our shopping list is so much shorter, and we spent less money since we didn't buy marinades, dressings, syrups, sauces, and other items that's loaded with artificial flavoring and preservatives. We now realize that it's much healthier eating fresh fruits and vegetables, rice cakes, nuts, and cheese. I've embraced making our own fruit juice, and using fruit as desserts, just as Ian have suggested. I'm trying to get used to cooking 3 times per day and making our own juice (I'm used to ordering out whenever I didn't feel like cooking, but that's a thing of the past now). I thought it would be much harder than it really is, but I'm realizing the vast benefits of choosing to eat healthier every day.
After a few days of being on the new eating plan, I noticed a difference in how my body felt. My legs, arms, hands, feet, and fingers are not swollen, and I'm sure that's because I'm not eating the same old things that used to cause inflammation in my body. I'm actually enjoying my new eating plan. I'm glad we found Ian Stoakes, he made it possible to get some relief for my many health problems.
