So, I read health books. I followed online forums to discover what supplementation was working for people and in which combinations. I devoured every bit of knowledge I could find and embarked on a quest to heal myself holistically.  I attempted to rebuild my health with a fresh, mostly organic diet, a healthy lifestyle, probiotics and other supplementation. I felt a decrease in the pain from my damaged nervous system, but it wasn’t enough.  I forged a relationship with a local independent health store owner who, after learning I’d been made redundant, one day offered me a job based on my passion for health. The pivotal moment for me though, was having a Food Intolerance Test while working at the store. It correctly identified the 14 foods that were still causing me painful digestive issues and, within a week of eliminating the stated foods, my digestive issues went away. The nerve pain also made a sharp decline and a year later was completely gone along with any requirement for medication. For me, the link between gut health and whole-body health had been made and I’ve never looked back.
