Dana M. (dmoritz) - THM Success Story
Before I started THM, I weighed 136 lbs and I was suffering from migraine headaches weekly. Sometimes I would have up to 3 per week. I was taking so much medication for the migraines that I developed stomach ulcers. So, I had to take medication for the ulcers. Later, I developed arthritis in my wrist requiring still more medication. It seemed my entire diet centered on various medications of one kind or another. Still, even with all this medication, I was getting massages every two weeks to ease the pain. One day my massage therapist told me about the Hallelujah diet (raw food diet) and I was so miserable that I decided to give it a try. I did have some relief, but it was so hard to only eat raw foods. So, once again I went back to the standard American diet and the pain continued. I eventually went to a pain management doctor and he didn't really know what was causing the headaches, so he prescribed more medications. Along with the other medications, I began taking muscle relaxers every night to try and alleviate the headaches. Then in October 2003, a friend told me about Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover. I went out that day and bought the book. I read it in two days and I haven't looked back. My doctor thinks that the hormones that are given to the animals we eat are what were causing my headaches. She told me at my last visit that she should be doing what I'm doing.
Since starting THM, I have lost 21 pounds and I am off all medications. I have been able to turn my whole life around. I have more energy. I sleep better. I look better. I don't have the pained look or the pain that I had before.
Just today I had lunch with my high school girlfriends. They told me that every time they see me, I look younger. They said my nails look healthy, my hair is thicker and more lustrous. They asked questions about my weight and height and when I told them how tall I am (5'3") they couldn't believe it. They all thought I was taller than that. I think that my gusto allows me to appear taller. I carry myself differently. I am going to turn 40 in September and I hope to be at my goal weight by then.
I can't imagine ever going back to the person I was before. I don't want to be that person ever again. I love feeling great, leaner and stronger.
I promise you that if you follow this lifestyle, you too will have the success you thought you could only dream of.
