60 My story and purpose for writing this book has to do with my health. I am recipient of a stent being placed in my heart and only four years later, I had triple-by-pass heart surgery. After the stent, the doctor prescribed four drugs for me to take. I felt terrible. It seemed everyone around me after having a stent put in felt great. After just one week, I realized it was the drugs. Therefore, I went off them for week and started to feel better. Finally, I was brave enough and called the cardiologist to tell him what I had done. Of course, you know the answer, "You can't do that". They suggest I stay on three of the drugs and for three months I stayed on the drugs. I could not focus, light headed and exhausted all the time. I finally called the cardiologist again. They told me it was up to me to stop taking the drugs. So, I did. It took about a month and I started to feel and look better. Then four years later, I went in again with heart symptoms. They recommended Triple-by-pass (I wished I got second opinion). It took me forever to heal from the surgery. I had the surgery in October and by May; I had the same heart symptoms back again. In the meantime I had picked up a book at the natural food store on Chelation while I was recuperating. My holistic chiropractor (which I am using because of surgery) recommends a Doctor of Natural Medicine for Chelation Therapy. I set up appointment and had a consultation visit. Then we started the Chelation Therapy. I felt new again with the blood being able to flow. If I had known about Chelation before the surgery, I would have done Chelation first. Because I have Angina Heart, disease it is constant battle keeping my arteries cleared out. Crestor and Lipitor are not my friends they make me sick and eat away 10 percent of the liver. In my opinion 10% is a lot. I found myself looking to natural ways for energy, healing, and weight control. I did not want to have to keeping looking forward to more surgeries. I moved to new location and got new Doctor of Natural Medicine (ND). He suggested juicing every day and gave me a recipe to follow. He told me I would probably not feel good for about a week and half, and I did not feel good for two weeks. Then one morning after two weeks, I woke up feeling better than I have felt in years. It really helps keep my energy up and gives me a general over all good feeling. I like juicing every morning. It is my breakfast every morning. When I miss a few days of juicing, I feel it. I am not a great vegetable eater. I certainly do not eat enough vegetables and fruit in day to give me the vitamins and minerals I need in my diet. I drink kale and beets that I would never have been in my diet. Juicing has increased my consummation of dark leafy green vegetables.. I have made juicing a very important part of my life and it can be yours to.
