Chronic pain is an issue for millions of Americans and for millions more around the world. As we mentioned in a previous blog, an acute injury that doesn’t heal up within about 6 months often goes into a chronic state and never really gets better. In this article we will look at some of the anecdotal evidence that shows reduction, or even elimination of pain is possible using the Hallelujah Diet.
What Do People Usually Do for Their Pain?
People just learn to adapt and adjust their lifestyle to their new level of pain. And they try different therapies along the way and find some things that help, like sauna therapy, maybe a supplement regimen, or pain medications to take the edge.
Myofascial Release for Chronic Pain
We already established the root of many chronic pains is knots in the fascia that need to be kneaded out, dispersed, and normalized. Dr. Hal Blatman, MD, is one doctor who has helped many, over 15,000 at the latest count, reverse their chronic pain issues and live with a much, much lower level of discomfort.
Dr. Blatman does teach people that they often need to avoid inflammatory foods, including dairy and gluten-containing grains, to really make permanent headway with their chronic pain. When their bodies mount an attack, based on auto-immunity to proteins in these foods that leak into the bloodstream, it increases inflammation in the body, particularly in the areas that are stressed already by a chronic injury.
Can the Hallelujah Diet Release Chronic Pain?
Can the Hallelujah Diet produce similar results, even without myofascial release techniques? Reduction or even elimination of pain is a very common theme in the customer stories that we have catalogued in our testimonial database. If you ever wondered, “Has anyone with XX (fill in the blank with your health condition) been helped by the Hallelujah Diet?” then looking at our Testimonial Database is a great place to start.
Here is one man’s story about his pain. It has been 10 years since Dr. Dan wrote these words, and even longer since this story happened. But, as of yesterday, Dr. Dan is still doing well with a sharp mind at 87 years of age, strong purpose in life, and free of the pains in this story.
Here is Dr. Dan, in his own words:
Without warning, it struck. Wind in my sails gone, losing breath and strength, control impossible, I had succumbed to an unseen force and I, like a tree at the mighty axe, began to topple. acute arterial fibrillation: a heart beating weakly 170 times per minute is ineffective. Circulation slows. Death comes at any moment. Pale and helpless I found myself in the ER of a major Oklahoma City hospital, watching the monitor above me. I had relinquished control to a heart authority whose medication did not work. Electrical defibrillation with a 10% death rate was last option – or was it? Moments before I was taken for this procedure, my wife Gudbjorg joined me in prayer as we watched my failing heart beat erratically. Within 10 seconds of that prayer, the heartbeat reverted to normal. Breath returned. My face filled with color. Pain gone! This event occurred over 10 years ago. But there was more to the story.
I had severe arthritis, had lost my right eye to a medical mistake, had a disease called ankylosing spondylitis, had endured two neck operations which failed, had spinal stenosis, gout, early diabetes, hypertension, intractable GERD (reflux esophagitis), a non functioning gall bladder which ‘must be removed’ said the surgeons, and migraine headaches. I could walk no more than 100 feet without back pain and sciatica, could not lift 25 pounds without neck and arm pain, slept fitfully only with the head elevated because of reflux.
I took over $600.00 per month of useless medication which caused multiple side effects. It was a ‘new medication’ that had caused the arterial fibrillation. I became allergic to many of these potions. Yet I still believed my medical educators – authorities in their fields. Nor would I hear of any alternative. That is, I would not hear of any alternatives until I looked death in the eye and a profound insight came over me – At last. What then did I do? I left that hospital, heard and acted upon the pleas of my beloved wife, heeding the rather visual message God implanted in my heart. I began to learn great truths. I abandoned life long erroneous habits. I rejected much authoritative teaching from my profession. I took a chance. After all, the experts had failed. What was I to do? Go on believing after all the experts had failed? We all have inspirational people, loved ones who make a difference and some who unknowingly teach us incorrectly, even parents.
To my utter shock within weeks after starting a 100% vegan diet with a lot of vegetable juices, and after ridding myself of toxic foods with toxic additives, after stopping all medications, I was pain free, and all symptoms were rapidly disappearing. My health improved dramatically. Today, I remain healthy, active, and take no medication. Shortly after these colossal events I closed the doors to my conventional medical clinic and have learned and practiced and taught nutritional excellence to thousands as the first priority in improving health. The truth is this: ‘Food matters.’ Wrong foods sicken! Right foods heal! Medication sickens and kills and rarely heals. Hallelujah Diet was a key player in my restoration over 10 years ago. But most of the credit goes to a 5′ 2 smiling angel from the rugged mountains of Norway, my beloved wife who persisted in trying to get me to change my diet. Who in your life is trying to convince you of a great truth about health? Do you listen? Or will your heart need to shake a little first.
Powerful words, yes? Indeed.
Drugs: A Top Cause of Death in the USA
There are just three points I want to make from Dr. Dan’s story. First, the episode in the first paragraph was due to an allergic reaction. Drugs properly prescribed and taken are still at least the #3 killer in America. And we just take it as a cost of practicing medicine. But it doesn’t have to be you. You can take control of your health and be free of pharmaceutical drugs.
Be an Angel of Patient Persuasion
Second, it often takes multiple encounters with truth before we embrace it. And then, it is often when there isn’t any viable alternative. So if you have a loved one who is resisting truth about diet changes, be patient and loving and committed in your approach. Perhaps you can be that “angel” like Dr. Dan’s wife was to him.
Pain Relief from Radical Diet Change
Third, a radical diet change can bring radical results. Pain relief is a common theme among those who have tried the Hallelujah Diet. But, as a side note, pain relief isn’t always 100 percent, and the Hallelujah Diet doesn’t always erase every pain. Sometimes you need more therapy, like myofascial release, to eliminate pain. But the Hallelujah Diet does go a long ways to making pain relief possible.
So, what is your experience with the Hallelujah Diet? Has it brought you pain relief? What other things have you done that have really helped? We’d love to hear your story as well.
