David's Story
My journey into the health education field began in 1975,
when at age 17 my robust health began to gradually decline. A heavy eater of meat
and junk food, my physical and mental energies deteriorated over a period of six
months, then I experienced incessant diarrhea. After a few weeks of medicine treatment,
I showed little improvement, so a colon examination was done. The diagnosis was
ulcerative colitis, and I spent my 18th birthday in a hospital, taking prednisone
and azulfadine drug treatments. The symptoms subsided, temporarily, but the drugs
further ruined my health and had a devastating effect on my mental abilities.
Within a few months, feeling sickly and very weak, I experienced
a recurrence of the diarrhea and additional symptoms, including cramping, bleeding,
and this lead to further physical deterioration. What ensued were eight tortuous
years of colitis flare-ups and off-and-on drug therapy. At age 26, I was reduced
to a weak, sickly shadow of my former self. I was having gastric explosions every
time I ate, up to 10 painful bowel movements a day with mucus and blood. My nervous
system became shattered as I was toxic, debilitated by the medicines, and severely
demineralized. Life became a dying hell , but I never gave in to the medical doctors'
advice to accept my illness and just be patient until their impossible "miracle
drug cure " came along; I desperately wanted my health back and doubted that
the doctors knew what they were doing.
In 1984, I had the great fortune to find a Doctor of Natural
Hygiene, Laurence Galant in Staten Island, who introduced me to the concepts of
self-healing and eating a raw fruit-based diet. At first I thought the idea of
eating mostly fruit while I was having non-stop diarrhea was crazy. Yet, I studied
Natural Hygiene and slowly cleaned up my diet. I was attached to eating chicken
and other favorite cooked foods, however, and was still having colitis flare-ups
and relying on medicines.
In the fall of 1984 I had a colonoscopy exam which confirmed
that I had advanced ulcerations throughout my sick colon. Surmising that I had
been chronically sick and was not getting better, the gastroenterologist recommended
that I either try his experimental drug which knocks out the immune system, or
have my colon surgically removed. Upon hearing this, a heavy decisive thought
entered my mind: I have had it with this medical madness - I'll be dead soon if
I don't find the answer myself! My life was a gradual descent into hell and now
I had to climb out now because I sensed it was almost too late.
Over the next few days I started thinking like never before
about how to overcome my illness. I realized that I had to figure out what the
MD's could not, and my thinking lead me to consider more closely the information
on self-healing and switching to a raw food diet. The information seemed so incredible,
but I saw that it was really working for Laurence, and I read many amazing healing
testimonials.
Then one amazing night while studying Dr. T. C. Fry's Life
Science/Natural Hygiene course, I beheld a healing vision and it all made sense;
the picture of my new health was revealed via the fruitarian pathway to self-mastery.
I understood that humans are biologicaly fruit eaters, and that fruit was the
best food for my sick colon and entire body. I was ecstatic knowing I had set
myself free!
The next day I threw away the medicines, divorced myself from
all medical intervention for good, gave up all meat and dairy for ever and started
a 3-day juice cleanse. By the second day I was coming back to life. On the third
day I was feeling better and better and my enthusiasm and joy drove my family
and friends crazy! My gut was feeling soothed and I was rejuvenating. I set myself
free of illness, doctors and medicines for good, and my bowels were working better
and better!!aw
I adopted a fruit based diet - that harmonized best with my
mind/body/spirit. And with that my energies continuously increased as I detoxified
and began rebuilding. Within about six weeks I felt that my colon was completely
healed up. I was able to enjoy eating and life again, as my bowels were functioning
better than ever. I began a new healthful lifestyle.aw f
Over the next few years I diligently worked at rebuilding my depleted body, incorporating daily running and yoga, all the while studying the life sciences and all of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual factors which determine our health. It took several years of total dedication to build robust health. In 1993, after studying at the Institute for Educational Therapy (now called Bauman College) in Cotati, California, I became certified as a Nutrition Educator and began providing nutrition and healing consultations. In 2006 I received a PhD/Hygienic Doctor degree from the University of Natural Health. Today, at age 51, I enjoy excellent health and usually feel strong and energetic.
Healing, I teach people, is easy if we understand and apply
the principle that it is the body that does the healing -- when we remove the
unhealthful aspects of our diet and lifestyle and step out of the way, the body
will do the healing work automatically and naturally.
Is living my 100% raw food fruitarian lifestyle hard? No!
Living healthfully is the easiest and most joyful way to be! And I'm glad to help
health seekers get there and feel that for themselves. I love to help health seekers
discover the way to heal and build superior health for themselves!
