Personal Stories - Deni
My name is Deni and I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in 2008 but had carried the disease for about 8 years prior. In 2006, then I was told I would not live for more than 5 years due to breast cancer if I did not have a biopsy immediately and have the lump removed, this was said by 2 different doctors (as of 2010 I am still here!).

Sure enough, in less than 2 years the lump multiplied until I had 4 lumps and the original one was attached to my lymph nodes. Like many Lyme patients my journey began with only treating the symptoms (and many co-infections) not knowing the real issue was Lyme disease. Being an active, healthy eating, young person I found it hard to take prescription medication for pain, sleeping, inflammation, nausea, acid reflux (GERD), neurological problems, let alone being treated for breast cancer, I refused them all, for they were only treating the symptoms and not the Real Issue or the Root problem. As the symptoms grew worse – bed-ridden due to physical pain, immune problems, an enlarged liver, the inability to climb stairs, violent retching, and now facing a breast cancer death sentence I knew my body was in red alert. I knew I was dying, and I had to take control and fast or I wasn’t going to live. Feeling like I had very little options, in 2009 I tried antibiotics and almost died twice that year due to my liver. My next option was getting the PICC line to the heart for IV Antibiotics 1-3 months with no guarantee.
So I started my quest…for natural healing. The ol’ saying You Are What You Eat… is so very true. If your body has been built on a good foundation, disease will find it hard to thrive in your body but most of us have been eating a SAD (Standard American Diet), which causes the body to be acidic. No matter what Illness or Disease you are faced with it cannot live in a healthy alkaline body, disease thrives in an acidic body. To Alkaline your body remember to get plenty of sun, oxygen and organic live green foods! At the end of 2008 I started eating raw foods and some Lyme symptoms got better I even got rid of 3 breast lumps by eating raw food. But I still felt out of balance (like my body was just not working correctly).
It was not until I Juice feasted did I see a real shift.

When most people see the before and after pictures they see weight loss… I don’t, I see pain, I see a body struggling to exist. I started Juice Feasting, feeding my body 10-12 pounds of fruit and veggies a day for 92 days and got back a better foundation for better health and a better life!

As you can see from the improvements listed above, Juice Feasting has made a huge impact on my overall health! I highly recommend Juice feasting (only consuming juice for more than 30 days) it has a way to reset your body chemistry therefore setting the stage to build an optimal foundation for better health. Everybody I know can benefit from just 1 juice a day but if you are sick; Juice feast for as long as you can, 92 days if possible (go to www.juicefeasting.com for more details), don’t eat processed foods, refined sugar, dairy, meat and especially avoid alcohol. I put the challenge out there to you… How Serious are you about getting better? You cannot do the same things and expect different results.
My healing continues, today October 2010 I am breast lump free now… and most of my symptoms from Lyme disease are gone, as long as I eat mostly raw foods and juice. It is all work in progress and I continue to work towards the best ME possible- I Will prevail and so can you.
