No.92 : scaping from 30 Years of Prescription Drug Use (Oct 2010)

I read Dr. Makoto Suzuki's recent book, "Byoin ni Kakaranai Kenko-ho" (Lifetime Guidelines for Healthy Living). This book certainly changed my life; the life filled with drugs hoping to cure my illness. Now I have great hopes that I have never felt in 30 years.

I was diagnosed as, so called collagen disease or connective tissue disease (Immune System Deficiency) 30 years ago. I am in my sixties now, so I am fighting with this disease for more than half of my life. I have continued to take steroid based drugs for a long time, which gave me the strong side effects time to time. Despite the negative effects of medicines and the difficulty of bearing symptoms, I was able to raise my children and lived near-normal life until 10 years ago.

This is when I started to have angitis or inflammation in blood vessels, which is the complication from the disease. Thereafter, I was in and out of the hospital for treatments using steroid based drugs and immune suppressing drugs to ease my condition. However, going through the series of treatments, qualities of my life decreased so much. I was so depressed, and life started becoming meaningless to me. I didn't want to rely too much on medicines, so I did some research on complimentary medicine for my condition. I have tried many possible remedies such as nutritional supplements, meal restrictions, Chi energy, acupuncture, and chiropractic etc. However, I couldn't find any of these effective for me.

I sent a message to Dr. Suzuki's office, and received valuable advices from changing diets to taking supplements. Since February this year, I started taking M10-8 SS Chitosan Complex, M10-8 Cell Support, Cell Energy, M10-8 P.A. Miracle Enzyme, Ultragreens and Roasted 5 Grain Powder, along with diet improvement. One day I realize that there are many days that I feel so good and alive! Last month, I got cold, but I could get over the cold without any major problems. I was worried because of my compromised immune functions. In February, I was taking 20mg of Steroid drugs per day. Its amount was reduced to 16mg per day in July. My CRP is now "0." In addition, my IgG is as low as in 504 now. I am looking forward to my further improvements, so that I can live without steroid and immune suppressive drugs.

When I feel well, I can laugh. Dr. Suzuki's supplements positively affect my body and soul. I have been living my life with the disease, and now I can say that there is no regret in my life fighting with the disease since I see hopes now.
I have a lot more to overcome. I still have symptoms that affect my daily activities. I have high hopes to finally become stronger and live life filled with happiness.
