If you put bad gas in a car. It dont run right. Choose organic. Low to no processed sugars. Cut out alcohol, and caffeine. Your pancreas is very important to life and energy. Take care of it.

Have you tried smoothies in the morning? I like a combination of strawberries, banana, blueberries, green food concentrate (or spinach/kale), chia seeds with Greek yogurt. Blend it all together with ice cubes & I forgot soy milk. This along with a multi vitamin has helped me a lot.

I'm guessing that organic food would make pretty much no difference at all for you. However, it's likely that you didn't have an optimum diet to begin with - perhaps too high in fat and sugar, like most people.

People are actually suggesting, that what sounds like serious medical problems, are caused by a
non-organic diet!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, and I thought I was a pretty bad tin-foil-hatter!

OP needs to seek medical advice and testing from a very knowledgeable and caring doctor.

I would think regular food means a wide variety of fruits, veggies, fish, and limited meats. Whether it's organic or not is not really the problem. I see more health problems come from eating the same old thing every time, especially mostly processed foods. I know it takes a bit longer to cook from scratch but not only does it taste better... you will feel better! Another common problem is too little water. If you don't have enough water you cannot eliminate toxins causing problems with your kidneys, pancreas, and liver!

I would ask... how much water do you drink each day (or what color is your urine)? How much processed food do you eat per week? How many bowel movements do you have per day/week (food should go in and waste out at the same rate)?

Any good naturopath would be able to identify your issue and help you fix it nutritionally.

I am so tired now; it’s so hard to wake up in the morning. I took the sleep apnea test, the doctor told me I need to buy CPAP machine which will help me sleep better.

I never ate organic food, just regular food. Could that be my issues? All the GMO in this world. I am very upset with myself and my health.

Thank you so much.

I doubt your problems stem from GMO or not eating organic. More than likely, you are overweight and have metabolic syndrome. This comes from too much processed food and not enough whole, plant-based foods, as well as low levels of physical activity.

This is the ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE section of the forums, and welcome.

Organic just MIGHT help to eliminate any issues you may or may not have with chemical intolerance, toxin sensitivities, etc. Perhaps not a cure all - but it might help start you on a path to better health.

I began my journey in 06. I was on SEVERAL very expensive meds for just about everything causing pain and misery with NO real improvement. The doctor bills and ALL the tests were beginning to become hard to pay.

Pills/tests/etc for sinus infections *caused by the antibiotics given?? not certain. Extreme headaches and migraines three times a week. Stomach issues running from ulcer, IBS, to reflux and back. Debilitating pain that immobilized me. And I had two young kids to care for. Found a multinodular goiter. Then humongous fibroid tumors causing me to become dangerously anemic during periods. Well, great. What next?

All the doctors, specialists, xrays, CT scans, MRIs, upper/lower endoscopy, etc along with that brand new med on the market did absolutely nothing to relieve pain, symptoms and all that!

Depressed and on the couch, I watched a commercial about a book some felon guy was selling. Natural cures they don't want you to know about...

I ordered it.

As soon as it arrived in the mail I began some of the suggestions. What I could afford at the time. The first was changing the diet a bit and making it all ORGANIC, FREE RANGE GRASS FINISHED or wild caught fish. No processed anything. Celtic Sea Salt.

The change was noticed immediately. There were no more awful pains after an hour of eating anything, that seemed to linger. Pains that were so intense I couldn't move.

NOW? NO MORE PAIN!

I then looked into supplements - food based, clean, organic. Vit C., D3/K2, E, Magnesium, etc. Changed water to filtered. Bought a filter to remove chlorine and fluoride. Stopped all fluoride products.
Began using organic personal products. No more harsh chemicals to clean my home, laundry, scents, bug killers, paints, etc. Any product I used in or on my body was to be as chemical and toxin free as possible.

Organic bedding and some clothing too.

Near and sometimes Far Infra Red saunas were a treat. Upped my biking/walking. Dry brush skin. Use rebounder.

Headaches and migraines became less frequent. Sinus, migraine, reflux meds ALL STOPPED under direction of doctor.

Decided NOT to have thyroid removed - in CASE of cancer reason given by specialist, and went on an iodine regimen on my own.

Self treated the monthly anemia issue *since the iron I was prescribed had been pulled ** and waited for tumors to shrink. Opted out of hysterectomy even tho I was told I didn't need those parts anymore.

Purchased shower filters for chlorine removal. Air cleaners for sleeping rooms. Removed all electrical junk: computer, tv, cordless phones from sleeping rooms.

Connected to Earth with bare feet on wet grass.

Removed GLUTEN. One of the things I wished I had done immediately...

Raw Dairy.

Began reading Doug Kaufmann's books and watching his health programs. I eat now to reduce as many toxic fungus foods (NO GMO. NO CORN. NO PEANUTS). Genetically modified foods are that way by messing with the proteins in the DNA of the plant TO MAKE PESTICIDE ALL DAY EVERY DAY 24/7. No "OFF" button. No tests on humans previous to release. The bt corn that is grown now for us/animals to feed on causes the pests' stomachs to literally blow up. Consequences for long term ingestion by humans? It's a big question mark! Soy is ROUNDUP Ready. No thanks.
Some say gmos don't hurt...how can that be proven?

No flu shots. I do organic bone broth soups, raw garlic, Upped vit C and wash.my.hands alot. So far, so good.

Bp is GREAT. Health is awesome. No arthritis. No gray hair. No stoop when I walk. No pain. Sleep is GOOD! Energy is great. No depression. Trying to begin my own small pet care business in a very competitive town.

I don't know. I think the organic food helped me a great deal on my road to better care of myself.

I had my blood tests taken a couple months ago. I order them myself. They are great!!

I do homeopathic, tinctures, flower essences and lately, essential oils to relieve any issues with tension, worry, etc.

I am 60 and I feel great.

Best of health to you!!

Watch the movie on YouTube "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". It is a documentary of how a man improved his health and eliminated his health problems through juicing fruit and vegetables through a juicer while traveling through the U.S. talking to people about it. In the process he met others who were impressed and later asked for his help. One man was hugely obese and his family was worried he'd die. At the end of the movie it shows this man buckling down and juicing; losing weight and feeling great!

Enjoy!

Then on YouTube there is a lot of help amongst the people who only eat raw Vegan. Dr Robert Morse is very inspirational. Dan McDonald has helped a lot of people and there are many others.

I just thought I'd post another approach that might be easier than juicing and that is simply eating raw fruit all morning and afternoon after drinking 20 to 32 oz or more of lemon water you make with fresh filtered water and half to a full lemon squeezed into it.

Also don't go crazy exercising. If your body is not filtering and excreting cellular wastes which it probably isn't if you got so clogged up you had brain tumors, your cellular wastes could not have been exiting your body in your urine like they are supposed to. The last thing you want to do is exercise and build up more acids (lactic acid) UNTIL you see sediment in your urine. When you see that you know you are filtering your wastes. Then you can exercise. Until then anything other than walking or chores will only make your problem worse.
