In Her Own Words: In around 2009, I learned about whole foods & plant based diet and witnessed a few cases of diabetes being totally reversed after going on this diet. As a Jain myself, I am vegetarian by birth and I did enjoy dairy and all dairy products. I was inspired to give it up for 30 days to see what happened. To my surprise, I found myself feeling very light. All my aches and pains that I had experienced all these years in my body disappeared. At the time, I had been suffering from migraine headaches for 18 years, which often ended with vomiting. No more attacks of hyperacidity. All these symptoms disappeared totally. I lost some weight as well. Mentally, I felt very calm, peaceful and very clear in my thinking. And all this was in just 30 days! I was overwhelmed with these results!
Soon, I started extensive research about whole foods & plant based lifestyle and dairy. Through my research, I learnt that dairy is linked with many lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart diseases, blood pressure, allergies etc.
Since the last 7 years, I have successfully enabled my patients to reverse many such diseases with wfpd and through personal counselling. The results have been very impressive.
