The Greatest Health Update of All Time
Published: Thu, 12/14/23
This is the greatest health update that I've given of all time. There is something for everyone here.
Since it's been such a long time since I have given you a health update, let's give a full-on summary.
I had very bad Ulcerative Colitis to where it brought me into this state:
I refused medical attention and tried to heal "naturally" for years on end, and it almost killed me.
In fact, it did kill me. Luckily, Angela had brought a man over to my house that evening to give me a Vitamin C drip. As Angela was helping me make my way to the bathroom, I gave a death rattle in my throat, collapsed into Angela's arms, and died. This man took me, gave me a shot of cortisone, did some weird movement with my legs to get my heart started again, and I was sent off to the hospital in order to get replenished.
At this point, I needed medical help, and I came back to the United States. Since I took it so far trying to heal naturally for so long, the meds wouldn't work. Therefore, I had to get surgery and remove my colon. I don't have a bag, but a Jpouch, which is inside of me. I'm not going to talk today about how the Surgeon refused me pain meds the day after doing one of the surgeries on me, and the absolute torture that I went through the entire night until the next morning. I wrote an entire Newsletter on that in the past if you want it.
I continued to run into many problems, and it seemed that every 3-6 months I would end up back in the ER on an IV as they replenished my nutritional stores. Sometimes they would have to give me a blood transfusion due to my iron levels being dangerously low. My sodium levels have also gone down very low to dangerous levels to where the doctors were surprised that I was still conscious and alive.
One of the times that I was in the ER, they gave me a pouchoscopy/colonoscopy. The doctor who performed this procedure said that I was a mess in there with ulcers and claimed that I have Crohn's disease, not Ulcerative Colitis, and that they performed the wrong surgery.
One of the entire points of doing the surgery was so I could be off the meds forever. However, the doctors concluded that I had Crohn's, they did the wrong surgery, and that I would need biologic meds like Humira for the rest of my life. They told me that at some point, these types of meds stop working after a certain amount of years. Once all of my Biologic Med options run out, the last thing that they could do for me is to perform the correct surgery and give me an external bag. Then I would be left on my own, because there would be nothing more that they could do for me at that point. The only thing that could help me at that point would be a drug like prednisone, which has massive side effects. When the doctor's PA was telling me all of this, I asked, "So there is a good chance that I am going to die early then? She was nodding her head yes, saying that people do die from this type of thing, yes.
For two months I was devastated.
I finally had my next appointment with my GI doctor two months later, and she told me that the Crohn's diagnosis that they gave me was a misdiagnosis. We are actually pretty certain that I did have Ulcerative Colitis and not Crohn's disease.
I thought, Great! I probably won't die early then. Maybe they should have called me so I wasn't in fear for two months that I was going to die soon? My gosh!
Anyhow, at the time of the Crohn's diagnosis, they were pretty much just going on the word of the Doctor who performed the Colonoscopy/Pouchoscopy. However, when they reviewed the biopsies, the ulcers only went in so deep, among other things, and all of these were an indication that I had Ulcerative Colitis and not Crohn's disease.
For the next year or two, confusion set in and I continued to get ulcers causing me pain whenever I ate any raw vegetables and other certain food items. I found a balance to where I could function pretty good eating certain healthy foods excluding vegetables. I was able to eat fruit and tomatoes no problem.
The doctor attempted to help me get off Humira once, but I ended up bed ridden in a diaper, with zero appetite, vomiting daily, sick, with my muscles contracting in my calves, hands, and feet so hard to where it felt like my muscles were going to just snap in half. It was absolute torture.
I ended up back in the ER and my nutrition blood levels were at dangerously low levels once again. I do have to admit, that each and every time that the hospitals gave me an IV of the nutritional stores that I needed, I ended up back to normal once again. Anyhow, I ended up back in the ER again two months after that due to an error that my GI Doctor made. When she put me back on Humira, she accidentally gave me 4 or 8x too much, because she accidentally prescribed me the wrong Humira starter pack. Then this doctor dropped me for non-compliance lol. Therefore, I sought out a new GI doctor and they said that my case was so complicated that they are referring me to the Mayo Clinic, and my insurance company accepted that.
The idea that I had Crohn's disease, and that I may die early, continued to be an idea that floated over my head. As of today, this fear has completely vanished, because of the simple rediscovery of Carrot Juice as you will see further below.
During the time period when I was with the first GI Doctor, I did everything in my power in order to wean off of the Prednisone. This was one of the most difficult tasks of my entire life. To successfully do this while keeping the ulcers at bay, required such a fine precision and accuracy, with so much ongoing suffering from the withdrawal symptoms. Due to my heart, belief, and hope, I somehow accomplished this almost impossible task. I was told by various people that I would be on Prednisone for the rest of my life. I've been off of it for probably half a year or maybe even a year now. I'm horrible with timeframes.
I have spared you many of the details, which can be seen in all of my previous health updates. The people at the Mayo Clinic wanted to give me another pouchoscopy/colonoscopy so they could see what was happening in real time. Since this was the Mayo Clinic, and I really wanted to make progress with figuring things out, I did the pouchoscopy/colonoscopy. One of the main reasons that I did this was because at some point we will be going back and forth from Ecuador. I didn't want to be dependent on meds anymore, and I wanted to get to the very bottom of what was truly going on with me. Don't worry about Ecuador, I work remotely.
Due to all of the previous paperwork from previous doctors, there was always confusion amongst all of my future doctors on whether I had Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's. This is one of the many reasons why that scary scenario of an early death was continually hovering over my head. However, my heart, hope, belief could just never accept it no matter how bad and hopeless my situation seemed.
As I stated earlier, I did find a pretty good balance of managing the ulcers and pain based off of the healthy foods that I ate. So they did the Pouchoscopy/Colonoscopy, and at that time I was in pretty good shape with the pain in my colon/jpouch. Two weeks later I had a zoom appointment with the actual Mayo Clinic GI Doctor who performed the procedure. She showed me all the images of the inside of my colon. I could see there was a little bit of blood from ulcers, which made me concerned.
However, she then went over the results with me. She said that the ulcer or two that she was showing me on the images were right at a specific connection, which is very common to happen to a person with my surgery. She told me that the ulcers that I had were simply from Pouchitis, an infection of the Jpouch, which was completely normal and fine. She then said that everything else looked really clean. She said at that point, it looks like you simply have Pouchitis and nothing else, but we can't tell if you have Crohn's or not because we are not sure if the Humira is keeping it at bay or not.
At that moment in time, I was so hopeful and almost certain that I didn't have Crohn's and that I've just had Pouchitis for the last two years causing all of this pain down there. They told me that antibiotics would just clear that up. I've taken antibiotics in the past, but it seemed that I've always had this issue. She gave me an antibiotic, and I was so hopeful and I just took it for two weeks.
Unfortunately, the antibiotics did absolutely nothing for me. I continued to have pain in my colon. I've also been continually needing iron infusions due to possible microscopic blood loss that was happening from the ulcers in my Jpouch. I never see blood personally, but I did in the pouchoscopy results.
Then a miracle occurred and I got my carrot juice powder samples. Let me just give you a quick excerpt from Dr. Norman Walkers Vegetable Juice Book:
"No less effective is the fresh raw juice of the lowly carrot in helping the treatment of ulcers and cancers. Tissues emaciated by those insidious ravages of cell starvation classified as ulcers and cancers, have been nourished back to a healthier condition by the abundant use of carrot juice as the principle item of nourishment. It was found essential, however, that it be properly prepared and every vestige of concentrated sugar, starch and flour of every kind be completely eliminated from the diet."
If this is true that the ulcers appeared from starved cells, then no amount of antibiotics could have healed my ulcers. However, carrot juice did! This is where the fine line is drawn in between medical/doctor's knowledge and natural medicine. While the medical structure saved my life multiple times and helped me on many levels, they are clueless about these "cracks" in the system. In this incidence in regards to the "ulcers, antibiotics, and nutrition," they have no clue with what they are doing. These are the cracks that we have to discover as we carefully make our way through the utilization of the medical industry. I will utilize the medical industry to my benefit wherever I can. For example, that Reclast infusion that I do yearly for my bones due to having really bad Osteoporosis, a new study shows that this infusion keeps people alive longer.
Anyway, it looks like my cells were starved, causing the ulcers. The ulcers were holes in my colon. Therefore, I probably had poor absorption issues from the presence of these ulcers. However, the ulcers were a result of being deficient in living atomic molecular nutrition. Nutritional deficiency gave me the ulcers, and ulcers gave me more nutritional deficiency in return. It was just a bad cycle that threw me into the ER endlessly. Therefore, any type of stress on my health just sent me heading downhill into the ER. That's why I couldn't just come off of Humira the first time, but I can do it now. I was always on the edge.
So now back to this miracle.
It was probably 3 bags worth of Carrot Juice Powder. I was taking high dosages of it until I ran out. I noticed that my colon started to feel better and that my air pathways were completely cleared out. I ran out of Carrot Juice Powder and started making Carrot/Spinach juice twice a day fresh in my new Vacuum Blender.
The pain in my colon completely vanished. As I shared earlier this week, my muscles finally had enough nutrition to rebuild for the first time in years. I couldn't believe how muscular I was and how much muscle weight that I put on. Meanwhile, animal protein did absolutely nothing for me. Furthermore, I couldn't believe how healthy I was.
Backing up a little bit, before I discovered the carrot juice powder, at the point where my Mayo Clinic GI doctor told me that I only had Pouchitis. I asked her if I could now attempt to come off of the Humira. However, I pleaded with her to please wean me off instead of cutting me off cold turkey, because of what happened to me last time. That was the time when I was in a diaper in my bed with my muscles contracting so hard that I thought that they were going to break.
The GI doctor told me that she would feel better about weaning me off of the Humira if we could got a blood level Humira test, and if she could get the older Pouchoscopy/Colonoscopy from a year or two ago so she could review the results. She told me that if my Humira levels were low, that she would feel much better about trying to get me off of the Humira. The reason being is because if your Humira levels are low, and since your Pouchoscopy/Colonoscopy looked clean, I would be more confident that it is not the Humira preventing the appearance of the possible Crohn's disease that you may or may not have. She told me that if I am willing to take the risk of coming off of Humira, that I need to be prepared for the consequences of it possibly coming back.
I was just so hopeful and confident in my belief. That belief is key, and many will try to terminate it. I was ready to go for it.
Weeks go by and I wrote them. They said that they didn't get any of the paperwork back that they requested. My Humira blood level test was lost. This was not the first time where it was absolutely impossible to have them request paperwork from other doctors and actually get it. Anyhow, I took it upon myself to search out the paperwork and I emailed it to them within 30 minutes. The Humira blood level test was just lost.
I told them to just give me another order for another blood test and that I'll take it again, which they did.
In a Newsletter or a video I had mentioned that it is impossible to make any progress with these doctors, and that I was thinking of getting off the Humira myself. I was thinking of moving to a syringe instead of an injector pen so I could control how much goes in. I could then just wean off myself.
I can never please anyone. One person comments, "something is obviously not right with this guy, because he's not following his doctor's orders." Yet another person comments, "Humira suppresses your immune system and it's poisonous, what's wrong with you?"
From experience, there is a fine line between following doctors orders, and making decisions for yourself. I was at a point of endless searching. Utilizing every last part of the medical system and doctors that I possibly could. After gathering so much information from doctors, surgeons, and so forth, it became obvious to me that I should attempt to come off of the Humira.
Anyhow, I asked for the syringe to be refilled the next time so I could control how much goes into my body. However, at last second, I freaked out at the idea of giving myself my own shot so I cancelled it lol. However, in my heart, I felt that I was just injecting myself with this drug, which contains side effects, and that it wasn't necessary anymore.
I reluctantly took the Humira shot when I was supposed to. I take it every two weeks. The pain was vanishing from drinking the carrot juice. They still didn't get back to me so when the next two weeks came around to take the next Humira shot, I just didn't do it. At that point I then requested to get the regular syringe just in case I needed to wean off and take a smaller dose. I also had one more injector pen shot that I could use just in case I started to end up in the same condition as the last time. In my heart I just couldn't take it again.
So here I was drinking carrot/spinach juice twice a day and my ulcers were vanishing. I was very nervous and on guard due to what happened to me the last time that I got off of the Humira. I take the Humira every two weeks. Therefore, I knew that I wouldn't have any issues for those next two weeks until it was time to take my next shot. During those two weeks is when my ulcers completely vanished and my weight shot up all in muscle weight for the first time in years. I looked down at my arm and I couldn't believe the size of my muscles.
So here I was doing fantastic. My ulcers were gone, and I had actual muscles all over my body for the first time in years. I continued to be off of the Humira cold turkey.
As I stated earlier, my nutritional levels were always on the edge, and any alteration in my health sent me off into the ER. This is why I think I had such a difficult time coming off of the Humira the first time. However, due to the fact that carrot juice is supplying me the most absorbable living molecular nutrition available to mankind twice a day, my nutritional stores are no longer a threat to me. While I am unfortunately suffering from weaning off of the Humira, the pure nourishment from the carrot juice has made coming off Humira a much simpler task compared to the last time.
Around week 3 or 4 of being off of Humira, my GI doctor's nurse finally responded to my email thread from a month ago. They write:
Dr. X was out of office and apologizes for the delay in response to your Humira level and the plan going forward.
Your Humira level is low - which means that you need a higher dose for it to work - Dr. X would recommend that you take it every week instead of every other week. We will work on sending the prescription and prior authorization.
Dr. X understands that you would like to get off of the Humira because you do not feel that it is helping. The reason it is not helping, is likely because your level is low.
Before we give up on the Humira, Dr. X would like to increase your frequency to every week for the coming 3-4 months and then assess for any improvement in symptoms. We can then check a level and make sure that your Humira dose is optimized.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind regards,
X, RN
Oh my gosh! If you guys remember from above, she literally said to me in writing that if my Humira levels were low, which is what happened, then she would be more willing to take me off of it. However, instead, she did the exact opposite and doubled the dosage! I flipped out. I wrote her back explaining all of this in great detail.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here completely off of the Humira for two months now, without any of her knowledge, doing perfectly fine. In fact, I'm doing better than I have done in years. My ulcers are gone, and I finally solved my lack of nourishment issues.
She still hasn't even responded to me from many weeks ago. The frustration that I am experiencing right now from writing this portion of the Newsletter just got me to write her again asking when she will respond.
My confidence is now through the roof that I don't have Crohn's and that I can finally live my life in peace from this fear. I just got to get her to approve this decision so it can go on record that the doctor has allowed me to come off of Humira. Hopefully that happens this week since I just wrote her today.
You guys, I am now on zero meds for the first time in years. It's a dream come true and I have been completely healthy since I started drinking the Carrot Juice Powder and the Carrot Juice.
It seems that the final step here is to completely get the Humira out of my system. I cut it out cold turkey and it looks like I will be fine, and there seems to be no risk or danger of ending up back in the ER or anything like that. However, I do still have to go through these unfortunate withdrawal symptoms. It's really rough guys lol. However, it's nothing compared to what I have been through before in the past. Therefore, it's really simple, comparatively speaking.
The most problematic withdrawal symptom that I have right now is a loss in appetite. I generally eat two good sized meals a day, and drink two large carrot/spinach juices per day. However, I'm now using the Carrot Juice Powder in decent dosages too with my meals right now from the recent samples that they sent me. I'm waiting for my mega shipment of carrot juice powder until I go absolutely haywire with it. I'm waiting for you guys to get your carrot juice powder first, and for the madness to calm down before I have them send me my share lol.
Anyhow, there have been multiple times recently where I've needed to skip my second meal of the day, because the thought of food made me feel ill in my stomach due to these withdrawal symptoms. Skipping a meal like this in the past used to be a huge concern for me due to my continual low blood nutritional levels. My protein (albumin) has always been extremely low, along with my iron, calcium, and sodium. However, since my muscular structure completely built up out of nowhere, and my health on all levels has now improved, as long as I drink my carrot/spinach juice twice a day, I no longer have any fear of skipping a meal when I seriously need to.
The good news is that I am blessed to be able to eat at least one meal a day right now as I go through these intense withdrawals with no problem, and it feels really good eating that meal. However, the second meal makes me feel nauseated if I do it.
If I would have on occasion eaten only one meal in a day like this in the past from feeling nauseated, my weight would have dropped to around 114 pounds. However, right now I am "somehow" maintaining at 128-132 pounds. That "somehow" is from the pure raw living atomic molecular nourishment that I am continually providing my body from the carrot juice.
Before I jumped off the Humira, my appetite was the best it has been in years. In fact, carrot juice helps to promote the appetite and is an aid to digestion. I couldn't believe how enjoyable my two meals were each day. However, I was doing so darn good that I just had to get off the Humira lol. I was at 136lbs zipping around doing so absolutely perfectly well. I should have probably enjoyed it for a few months, and just stayed on the Humira for awhile lol. No, not me though, of course lol. The withdrawals are really rough right now. I started having withdrawal symptoms from the Humira at about week six. I am now at week eight and the withdrawal symptoms are the worst they have been yet. I'm thinking it will take another month or so to get through this.
I am just looking forward to the day when my appetite comes back.
I have to admit that I am in a rough spot right now from coming off of the Humira, but I feel that I simply just need to get through this. The good news is, I don't have any ulcers that I know of, and I'm doing great. I feel that it's just a matter of time now. Oh my gosh, I can feel it in every crevice of my being, I am healed. I will definitely send you guys another health update soon. There is no stopping me now.
