I have been studying food and diets now for a number of years. From all of my studies I am impressed to say that a plant based diet is the best way to get all your necessary nutrients and phytochemicals and preventing diseases and aiding your body to stay healthy. I love the testimonials I come across and enjoy following the stories of people who have reversed their disease with a plant based diet.
My journey has impressed me to set up a project called The Eden Sanitarium for diet and lifestyle educational in order to raise awareness about the health benefits of diet and lifestyle changes, and to encourage individuals to take responsibility for their health and reverse diet and lifestyle related diseases.

I eventually decided to put myself in a very challenging position in order to be sure if my asthma would appear under extreme pressure. A good friend of mine had a birthday and I decided to buy her a long week-end away to Portugal. I booked us a holiday with spa and swimming pool. As the plane was taking off I turned to her and shared that I had not packed my inhalers. She has know me for years and understood how serious not having my inhaler was. However she also knew that I had been asthma free for years and that this was another one of my experiments on myself.
This was a very active week-end away. Walking, swimming and using the steam and sauna room. I returned from the holiday without experiencing any asthma symptoms. So I threw my inhalers away and I have not been back to my GP for a repeat prescription ever since.

I researched so much on diet and lifestyle that I started to share my knowledge with family and friends. I quite naturally became a speaker for health topics.
My experience with âCHEATING DEATHâ came with a price. I started to find that not everyone liked the health message. Not every one wanted to find a solution to over come sickness and disease. Not every one believed in natural healing. Not every one liked you for sharing. And a few had major issues with my diet and lifestyle choices. The majority of people however made sharing worth while.
By the time I discovered wheatgrass and started to grow and juice it. I was swimming my full lap with long rest periods between the next lap. Not expecting to get the result that I did with wheatgrass. I discovered a level of energy that I never knew I could have.Â
Ann Wigmore diagnosed with breast cancer in 1940 treated herself with an exclusively raw food diet. On regaining her health, she opened a health center called Humlegaarden where she treated many patients with cancer and other diseases. Ann Wigmore used wheatgrass as a key dietary component and began a revolution in the world of nutrition. From my own personal research wheatgrass was practically a cure all.
Why not give wheatgrass a go I thought……

Mean while back at the swimming pool the elderly lady had become my role model. She too had made an impact on my life at the time. I loved watching her. I made an effort to turn up on the day she swam and the time she swam. I had to see this woman, every stroke she took made me more determined to swim further. More weeks went by and I could very nearly swim one lap of the pool, although still gasping for air. I noticed the difference with my lungs.
Although I wasnât using the inhalers anymore with the diet change. I found that exercise proved that my asthmatic conditions was still a cause for concern. Exercise was the trigger that caused the symptoms of my asthma. I continued to research and eventually came across something called wheatgrass.Â

Thanks to this amazing elderly lady I was even more determined to become asthma free. I needed to do something else, but what? I went back to the books. Reading and searching for an answer. I became very serious with the diet change and very serious about exercising my lungs. Swimming, steam and sauna, power walking, running for the bus, I got rid of the car for financial reasons and found myself walking every where. I used the stairs instead of the escalators. Raising my awareness on reading books on asthma, on diet and lifestyle changes, on the latest research findings, I eventually started to explore the use of herbs for asthma.Â

I spent days researching all I could about wheatgrass. I eventually concluded that growing my own would be the best way forward for me. I followed all the relevant instructions shared through books, internet and utube clips. So the day came when I harvested my wheatgrass and juiced it. I had to share the experience with someone and so mum and I took our first sip of the green juice.
Well if you could have seen the facial expressions you would never dream of trying it yourself. I managed to keep it down but my poor mother….I will leave it to your imagination. However I was determined to take it regardless of what my taste buds were telling me. I had read far too many testimonials to give up now. Although drinking the juice on an empty stomach on itâs own is considered to be the best way forward. I thought that getting this green juice into my body was all that mattered. So I tried it several times on its own each day and gave up. Then I began to experiment. I did not like it in water either. Eventually I discovered that I could take my wheatgrass shot in a fruit smoothie each day.
So three weeks went by and I was very busy with my wheatgrass regime. Planting, harvesting, juicing and drinking. I found I could freeze any excess and add the green cubes to my smoothie the next day.
It wasnât until I went to another swimming session that I discovered what the wheatgrass was doing to my body. I swam that day, laps after laps after laps. Breaststroke, backstroke, doggy paddle, diving and seeing how long I could stay under water. I remember coming up from been under water so long, bouncing up and down while removing my hair from my face. Praising God….Praising God…..Praising God.
I can not explain the level of energy. I was not tired, not as breathless as I have always known myself to be. My lungs were healed. I knew at that moment that I had been healed. Although this experience was happening to my body, I could not believe my swimming session. I stayed for hours in the pool. I kept doing the laps and keeping my face under water for as long as I could.
Regardless of all of my experiences, my inhalers stayed close by my side. Too afraid to let it go. Too many near death experiences were associated with not having this inhaler in my hand bag. I knew that my inhaler had to go and this would prove to be the hardest thing that I had to do in my life at the time. I will share that experience with you soon.
