What Do I Eat to Feel Better?

By swollenmystery On July 19, 2012 · 2 Comments

The other day, I was explaining to my wife, Joanna, how I’ve never liked cherries. I hated them all my life. She knew this already, but I felt compelled to say it again because I felt such strong disgust for the little red devils. I’m sure my aversion came from sipping tablespoon after tablespoon of artificially flavored cough syrup as a kid. Then, recently I read about how cherries are packed full of nutrients, helpful especially for arthritis sufferers. So as summer arrived I started seeing cherries popping up in stores and I decided why not try them again. It turns out, I loved them! Now I eat them by the handful. Delicious, raw, organic cherries. This reminded me how I used to think my diet was pretty healthy, but it was actually full of refined, processed and packaged foods that contained so many chemical and additives that stressed my body and put a burden on organs like my pancreas and liver. I didn’t realize until not long ago just how important eating the right foods are to the the healing process. From time to time, people ask me what I eat to feel better, what is helpful for keeping Lyme disease under control and what food protocols work. While I’m constantly learning about using food as a method for healing I don’t have all the answers. I can, however, share my experiences with eating healthier and what it’s done for me – both as treatment for my [...]

On The Right Path, But Not Out Of The Woods Yet

By swollenmystery On June 21, 2011 · 8 Comments

This weekend I completed (celebrated) finishing three months of a detox protocol for healing my gut naturally. While I’m not completely going back to the way I used to eat, I am going to start re-introducing more foods besides raw vegetables and bone broths. I feel like it’s graduation day. Welcome to life in post detox! Yes, it’s affected me that much. It’s so exciting to see the progress, even though it’s slower than I hoped at times. But I consider this detox protocol successful because it was designed to heal my gut, eliminate built-up antibiotics and other medicines I’ve taken over the years, and therefore allow my immune system to start to function properly again. I truly believe I’ve seen that happen over these last 12 weeks. The first signs were changes in bowel movements as my stools became more frequent, softer, and normal. Then after two months I finally began to see changes in my knee inflammation. For the last year both of my knees have always been swollen (a lot), even while on Prednisone for so long. This was the first time my knee effusions have shrunk to almost to normal size. Now from week to week I’m noticing my knees still flare up but usually one at a time and the swelling tends to be isolated to only one knee instead of both. Overall, walking, getting up and down from a seated position, and walking stairs have been so much easier, too. Even though [...]

Healing Inside Out: Green Smoothies & Bone Broths

By swollenmystery On April 10, 2011 · 7 Comments

Two weeks ago I felt so much despair. So helpless. So much like I was traveling down the wrong path. So I prayed. I talked endlessly with my wife and family and friends about what to do next. And then I prayed some more. Now I know God works in mysterious ways, but I never expected answers to fall right in my lap so suddenly. Of course I was praying for healing, but I was also praying for direction. And that’s exactly what I got. At this time I was facing more mysterious blood tests, showing signs of continued inflammation, increasingly painful symptoms all over my body, fears from my rheumatologist that I may have Chron’s disease or worse yet, lymphoma. Additionally, I was working with my LLMD to test for Lyme disease and a number of other coinfections. I was worried about what to do next. Then out of the blue, an endearing stranger, in another part of the country found our story and contacted my wife about helping us out. Through a series of emails I was introduced to Tim and Terry at Life Fitness Academy In Nashville. They agreed to take on my case and give me the best hope I’ve felt in all the years of suffering with inflammatory arthritis. I could tell from the start, their goal was to help me heal naturally from the inside out. For my particular healing, it was necessary that I should start with the gut. Over [...]

About Me

I'm a freelance web designer with a background in graphic design. I'm also a part-time nutrition student. When I'm not creating or designing, I'm studying nutrition. When I'm not doing either of those I'm usually eating or talking about food. I've been interested in health and fitness for a long time but it wasn't until I became seriously ill with a mysterious chronic autoimmune condition in my early 30s that I realized how intricate and complex the human body is.

Along my journey to healing from chronic illness and Lyme disease, I discovered that eating healthier has improved my life the most. This blog is not just a journal of my progress but is also intended to help anyone that might be suffering from an autoimmune illness. My goal is to learn how to support the body's natural healing process holistically so that it has the resources to fight off illness the way it was designed. As I learn more every day, I write about my journey here at Diagnosis Unsolved. Read more about how all this started and my story here.
