I have been having big problems since last october. I have been to doctors and non of them can fix me they just send me home with predizone and different pills and its only making it worse.
I have a breathiing problem when i breathe the left lung feels like its only breathing in half of the air, although doctors say im getting it all. This has been going on since last year. I feel a constant pressure, and they think its inflammation, i feel like my tonsils are swollen, and its hard for me to swallow my saliva, i sit up all night cant swallow, i wake up choaking, and when i swallow its like my saliva stops in my throat, then i have to keep swallowing to make it go down. Another problem is i have dark circle patches all over my arms and head and one on my back, that have not went away in months. See i took a pill i was allergic to, then the hives came, but when the hives stopped, the dark patches came in and wont go away. I think my immune system is screwed from all the prenizone i have been on and off of and the penecillin. Any pill i take now, or drug, it gives me another patch, or one i have grows. I dropped something on my big toe and it turned black, now a few months later, its still not healed right, its like i have a fungus on it and it is one nail growing over another. I just have all types of problems. Im 31, and i have been eating bad all my life. Right now im trying that lemonade diet to detox, but i cant get anything to really come out. I have at pizza and fast food every day, and i feel i probably got lots of inflmaation from friench frieds and tomatoes and all sorts of stuff.
I only use the bathroom (number 2) once a week, and i need to fix myself before things get worse. I love my family and promised to fix myself and eat organic raw foods for the rest of my life. Can you help me Dr Hyman? I seen a video clip on you tube where you fixed a guy that had tons of problems like mine and you cleaned him up. What should i do? I ll do whatever i have to

Have you looked at the UltraSimple Diet? That might be a good place to start. It's designed as sort of a jump start for Dr. Hyman's Ultrametabolism program.
I hope this helps. Please let us know how you're doing.

It is really frustrating

It is really frustrating to go to doctors who just do not have a clue. I went on a mission to find a doctor who treats with a more holistic approach. Look under TOOLS for Find a Doctor on this site or ask the person's at the health food store who they use and their customers. Unfortunatly the most recommended doctor are not on my insurance, so I got busy calling all the DO's who were. I spoke with their nurses and found a couple that have a willingness to try herbal treatments and ones who want their patients to be well not just treat the symptoms. I saw the first one Friday, better than the last but still not getting through, and I will see the next one on Wednesday. My plan is to keep going until I find someone who will work closely to get me well.
Dr Hyman has an excellent program and his techniques for improving health are excellent, but your health concerns may not be a do it yourself situation. It does sound like your system is in a toxic state, but be careful with some of the detox programs. The one in the UltraSimple Diet is good, but the stress of such a drastic change could be too harsh for your system right now. Do purchase one of Dr Hyman's books so you can better understand his programs. Basically he believes in a whole foods approach with supplements for specific health issues, but getting to the bottom of the health issues is the trick and he knows the tools to use.
You can call Dr Hyman's office and consult with the nutritionist 413-637-9991. She should be able to direct you better on how to begin improving your health.
Go off dairy!

The UltraSimple Diet really works!
I also have medical problems and some were created by having 7 surgeries which I later learned I didn't need. (Had my appendix out twice!) I agree with Dr. Hyman that the Western medical system is good for treating emergencies and saving lives. Since your medical problems sound serious, still have a doctor monitor them while you try the Ultra Simple Diet.
In macriobiotics, Kushi looks at the body as the whole and problems with the lungs and allergies are often associated with eating too many dairy products. I suggest you go off all dairy and the UltraSimple diet recommends this also. Try the Diet, it's only one week and you will notice a remarkable difference by the third day. But you will need to prepare and plan for it, so I recommend you read the book and prepare one week ahead. Meanwhile, go off the dairy and I would also say wheat.
Keep us informed about your progress and how you are doing.
