Margaret, 66: Three Years on an Oxygen Tank for Emphysema, Now All Day Without It

"I am 66 years old and I have been on an oxygen tank for my lungs for 3 years because of emphysema. This disease was progressively getting worse over the 3 years; I couldn't breathe on my own. A year ago I got very sick in Mexico and ended up in the hospital for 1 week. My disease hit me hard and I lost some of my memory.

I had been a smoker for many years. 14 years ago I quit smoking after watching my brother die. It was terrible. Last summer I went through a lot of tests with a lung specialist who said my lungs were full of emphysema and my heart was affected.

I watched my neighbour, Ken, heal his cancer and I thought perhaps there was something for me. So I decided to visit Donna Roth. What an eye opener it was to learn that bread was a factor. I lived on sandwiches! I had toast for breakfast, soup and sandwiches for lunch and sandwiches for supper. I ate natural grain breads and I thought they were good for me.

That all had to change. I now ate eggs for breakfast, and everyone thought I was eating too many eggs. I was craving bread and thought I was starving to death. I now ate meat and vegetables, and I use almond milk instead of dairy.

On Sept 24, 2013 I started having 2 smoothies per day with Mineral Chi Tonic, Zambroza, Solstic Energy, Collatrim Plus, Green Zone, Liquid Calcium, berries and avocado. I drank only water, and took 3 MC tablets 3 times per day, Stress Pack and Milk Thistle. I did this religiously every morning. Eventually the craving went away. I must admit I cheated on sweets once in a while; I love carrot cake and I had it once a week.

By Dec 5, 2013, I could go all day without using my oxygen tank. My energy is unbelievable. I used to go to bed at 8 pm; now it's 10 pm and I'm still not tired. I have been able to reduce my puffers from every 2 hours to only 3 times a day. I feel well enough to go back to Mexico."
