April 2, 2010

When I happened across Bee's website in July 2009, I had been very ill for a couple of years. I also had suffered many ailments throughout my life such as recurrent ear infections, gastrointestinal disorders, herpes, colds, flus, muscle sores, aching bones, varicose veins, bruises, lack of libido (from my 20’s onward), darkening of menstrual blood, irritable bowel, constipation, food allergies.. you name it.

As the years progressed, I became a vegan by necessity since dairy products, eggs and meats caused many debilitating symptoms. I now eat several eggs a day, meats and fish, and do fine on them. In July and August 2007, I took antibiotics for a month for a vaginal infection due to E. Coli that wasn't going away. In October 2007, I became so ill that I couldn't eat or drink anything for 10 days. The doctors I saw thought that it was either appendicitis or AIDS. When it turned out that I had neither of those, they gave me antibiotics, which made me feel even worse. Therefore, I decided to do my own research.

And after two weeks of intense internet searching, I was convinced that I had Candida yeast overgrowth. I followed a natural treatment taken from a book because I thought I was going to die since all I could ingest at this point was water. After 5 days of such a treatment I felt much better and started eating again, but my digestive system was completely stopped up after only a couple of days of eating 'normally.'

I then turned to several naturopaths who had me try various treatments such as regular water colonics combined with week-long juice fasts, as well as a diet consisting of low-to-moderate carbohydrate intake, moderate protein intake and low-fat intake. Only the last naturopath I consulted had a program that came close to Bee's, but still it wasn't Bee's program. Needless to say, none of these treatments worked.

Prior to on starting on Bee's program, my symptoms included: severe depression and suicidal thoughts; brain fog; difficulty breathing; poor concentration; blurred vision; ear noises; abdominal pain; constipation; pinched nerves; occasional facial paralysis; headaches; blue/black fingertips; muscle sores and bone aches; fever; falling hair; skin irritation; fatigue; insomnia; sore throat; dizzy spells; overall weakness; lack of appetite; lack of libido; dryness of mouth and skin; coated tongue; body odor; urinary and vaginal infections; loss of period, heart palpitations etc.

I started Bee's program in August 2009. Intuitively, her program made sense. Intellectually, it didn't, since it goes against what mainstream information has been telling us about diets and health in general. However, I had no other choice than to TRUST BEE and her program. And I am very glad I did.

The first 4 months were hard. However, even with occasional cheats and without calculating my food ratios on a regular basis (I calculated them for a couple of days, then stopped), a lot of my symptoms are gone or under control now. My biggest wins so far are the recovery of my period and a close-to-normal energy level, as well as overcoming depression and herpes.

I still have some years to go before I am healed completely, but the incredible results I am getting are extremely encouraging. When I get dizzy, nauseated, bloated or sad these days, I know that these conditions are healing reactions, and I welcome them. If chance hadn't guided me to Bee’s program, I sincerely don’t know what would have happened to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Bee! Helene
