Healing Story--How I eradicate drug-resistant H. Pylori (Part 2)

I should credit the success of my battle over H. Pylori to several books that I have read and instilled into my mind for daily practice:

" Eat to live"  and "Super Immunity" by Dr. Joe Furmann.
" Change your brain to change your body", by Dr. Daniel Amen
" The Wisdom of healing", by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon
"8-week to Optimum health", audio book by Dr. Andrew Weil.

Diet regiment:

I would call the diet I have is "Dr. Furman's diet".  This includes not to eat any animal-based foods except occasionally fish and eggs.  No sugar-based foods that include soft drinks, juices, breakfast cereal, quick oat, breads, even bagels.   I eat full plate of vegetables and fruits including leafing vegetables, carrot, sweet peppers, all kinds of berries (strawberries, blue berries, etc), apples, bananas, all kinds of nuts and avocado which is my major calorie source.  No pro-inflammatory foods including vegetable oil, dairy products such as cow milk and cheeses.  No artificial sweetener-based foods including diet coke or diet Pepsi.

Major staples:

Pro biotic based foods such as Kefir, yogurt.  I did the home-made fermented cabbage.  Every dish will include cabbage, fresh-cut garlic. 

Whenever it is possible, I would have cabbage, onion, garlic, broccoli, and cooked mushroom.

Mind-body connection in digestion

I eat only when I feel hungry.  This means that I may have only 2 meals a day, not 3 meals.  It is OK. Digestion takes a lot of energy.  Besides, intermittent fasting is good for us anyway.

I would not eat if I feel upset.  An upset mind would not digest food well.

I practice meditation and prayers at least twice a day.

I exercise religiously everyday.  Playing tennis and folk dance are better medication than the drugs.

Supplement

I took Omega-3, and anti-oxidant capsules recommended and supplied by Dr. Andrew Weil.  I took adequate but not overdose zinc and vitamin B supplement recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil for vegetarian diet.

Discipline

This self-imposed regiment would be very difficult to follow if I have a weak mind.  I must thank God for giving me such a gift that I am a very discipline person and I have a strong mind.

End-Note:

I hope my healing story brings hope to my friends who has loving persons in their lives suffer similar situations.  Healing is possible if we follow the wisdom of Furmann, Amen, Chopra and Simon.  But, the responsibility to heal is on us, not on any doctors.
