"I use to feel tired all the time, even when I woke up in the morning I felt drowsy. The acid attacks were so acute that I had to go to the hospital and take injections to get relief from the pain. But, after changing my diet and eating more fresh water rich food, I was able to reverse headaches and severe acidity in only 3 months."

 

Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle? 

It began with frequent headaches, severe acidity attacks & stomach problems. Soon, I started gaining weight & my was getting bad skin day by day. As time went on, I also developed chronic fatigue syndrome. I use to feel tired all the time, even when I woke up in the morning I felt drowsy. The acid attacks were so acute that I had to go to the hospital and take injections to get temporary relief from the pain. My husband advised against it & asked me to stop taking the injections as they were high in dosage and could affect my liver & kidneys. I got many tests done & after my endoscopy, found out that I was suffering from Celiac disease, where the villi in the intestines get damaged and no food could be absorbed or get digested. I was told by the doctors that it was a lifelong disease & I have to completely exclude gluten from my diet. After going on a gluten free diet, I saw many improvements but I still suffered from headaches & acidity attacks. Apart from this, I was also suffering from PCOD for a very long time. 

 

What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.

I was already on a gluten-free diet, but still, my diet primarily consisted of grains. I wasn't eating enough fresh fruits & veggies and maybe because of this I suffered from headaches & acidity attacks. In April 2019, after attending the Health Transformation Workshop & understanding the science behind satvic health & food philosophy I decided to change my diet right away. I switched to having one grain meal from three grain meals in a day. I did 16-hour fasting, sunbathing & sun gazing religiously. I also started sun charging the water & drinking it every day. I adopted all these changes without any compulsion. I was enjoying the process & was actually seeing improvements in my health.

 

 What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?

Just in a span of some months, I saw huge improvements in my overall health. Eating a single grain meal in a day & including more fresh fruits in my diet has helped me reverse headaches & acidity attacks in just 3 months. My energy level has gone up tremendously & I have lost 10 kilos. Though, I haven't got it checked but I can feel my PCOD getting cured.  

 

Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes?

Yes, I have become much more positive and have realized the importance of taking care of my health. I feel like I am finally doing something healthy for my body. Earlier I was not taking care of my self and was not eating mindfully. But, now I have made up my mind to live a healthy & natural lifestyle.

 

Can you imagine a world without diseases & medicines? A world where everyone lives in sync with nature? What do you picture?

It will be great to imagine a world like that but I don't think it is possible at the moment. The medical & pharmaceutical companies have drilled in these thoughts in our psyche that we have to take medicines to cure a disease. But in reality, medicines just know how to suppress the symptoms. To make this world medicine & disease free, people's belief system has to be changed. We need a complete paradigm shift to make this vision a reality. At this moment, I myself is struggling with making my mother follow this lifestyle. Even though she has seen me & my sister getting cured but still she doesn't want to try it. Similarly, there are many people around me who are blinded by their love for unhealthy food. They say "Oh! It is very difficult, how will we enjoy at a party". What people don't understand is that they can enjoy their social life as well as follow a healthy lifestyle. Recently I travelled for a week to Goa & initially I thought it will be difficult to follow satvic diet there. Surprisingly, it was very easy. I had fruits for breakfast, for lunch I ate salad & at night again I ate fruits. Even we had a gluten free menu during our flight. It's just that you have to take a step, things are easily available.
