Shelley,
First of all ... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I can't tell you how great it is to finally have an answer to what has been happening to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to put all of this together. I have been going to doctors for years and have been bounced around from one specialist to another and one medication or treatment to the next. I have tried everything from medicines used for schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorder to herbal and chiropractic methods. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Firbromialgia, Depression, General Anxiety Disorder to name a few. It's become insane. The thing is that NOTHING has helped, only made things worse.
The symptoms I've had with being on Depo are extreme fatigue, mental fog, muscle aches and cramps, digestion problems, weight gain (never an issue before), and constant heavy bleeding that has caused me to become anemic.
A short while ago I was typing in symptoms on the Internet and came across your depo web site and I was horrified. I can't believe I've been injecting this illness into myself for all this time and didn't even realize it. I have actually been off of the depo now for 6 months because I couldn't handle the bleeding anymore. The thing is my own OB GYN didn't think it was a problem. I had to go to a chiropractor to find out that I was anemic and needed to get off the medication. Unfortunately, I am still bleeding heavily and regularly even 6 months after my last injection. I also bleed the entire two years I was on depo. My OB GYN told me to hang in there because once my body got used to it I would stop bleeding all together. I was afraid I would bleed to death first!
I ordered your book from Amazon the day I found your web site and I finished reading it last night. It is a wealth of information. I just had a few questions for you. Did you also have problems with bleeding and if so did the bleeding stop after you changed to raw foods. I'm so afraid of what this means for my fertility as I am only 23 and my husband and I want to have more children.
Also I am eager to start this diet as soon as possible, but I'm a little unsure about the 80/10/10 part you mentioned. I can't seem to find anything in detail online. What are combinations of foods that should be eaten together and what shouldn't be. How can I learn to follow that 80/10/10?? Also, is it important to eat organic foods, or can I buy my produce at a regular grocery store? Is there anyone book that you could recommend to help me get started asap. I know you recommend learning all you can and I agree whole-heartily. I want to continue to education myself and learn all I can about this, but I'm also desperate to get started. I don't know how much longer I can take this physically or emotionally. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your work on this!
