Personal Health
 I ran into AIM International by accident. I have been having health problems for the last two years. First I got lyme disease in 2004, beacuse where I live often has deers coming to the property, though I had never noticed any deer tick bites, suddenly one day I was having horrible hip pain. Since my work often involve moving heavy inkstones around, I thought I hurt myself.
But the pain was persistant for about one month and not going away. Then my knee started to hurt too. I went to the doctor, but only got an appointment with a physician practitioner, though I suggested that I should have a blood test, he insisted that I wait till it's my complete physical. I waited for another four weeks before I got on the one month anti-biotics. Though I took the medicine and the pain on the hip became tolerable, it never completely went away and I had pain here and there all the time. Half year quickly went by. May of 2005, one day I had pain all around my waist that I barely able to move and breath when I get the attack. Since my last bad experience with my doctor, they sent me to MRI, X-Ray and Ultra sound tests right away and every month afterward my doctor ordered blood tests for me because my white blood cell counts was abnormal on every test and the X-ray, untra-sound and MRI confirmed that I had herniated disc and GALL STONES that's over 2.2 CM.
When I received the diagnosis, I was booked to go to the Amalfy coast in Italy. There was no way for me to have an operation to remove the gall bladder, the quickest appointment I could get was a consultation with a surgeon. I searched on the net about gall stones. I learned I can do a gall bladder cleansing to get rid of the pain. I did that right away, beacuse my pain was so terrible, I was desperate and I did not care how awful it is to drink one pint of olive oil and fresh lemon juice within a few short hours. At least over 200 hundred green and brown stones passed through the next day.
I was able to go to Italy without any problems. Amalfy coast in Southern Italy is not just one of the most beautiful place in the world, it also has the best cusines in the world. Though I know I cannot eat meat and oilly food, I just cannot help myself. More than half month of dinning in all the best restaurants along the coast everyday, when I came back to United States, though I did not get any really bad pain along my right back, I had some constant pain there and I am really worried about the damage it can cause to my liver. So After summer of 2005, I decided to change to vegetarian diet. First I felt better and less worried about the pain.
Three month passed, suddenly I noticed I gained 15 pound. This was a big surprise to me. I asked my personal trainer who is a medical school student why is this happening to me. I thought I am eating healthier. He asked me if I am eating more carbohydrate? So now I understand why. I was feeling hungry all the time when I changed my diet. I grew up in a rice country, so when I am hungry I eat a lot lot of rice, and brown rice did not help either. All of that excessive calories that I swallowed just turned into my body fat.
The next two month, I went for hunger strike. I count the calories I take in everyday. I was told by my nutritionist at the gym, to loose five pounds, I need to cut back 500 dailly calorie intake. During this two month, my immune system was shot. I got every cold and sickness that anyone had that was around me. I thought to myself, if I continue going on like this, I for sure will get cancer one day, because my monthly blood test was telling me I had some kind of inflamation in my body constantly. Still I am in searching of something to save my gall bladder. Of course I can just take it out with one appointment with a surgeon. But I think since it's still did not evolution out of our body when we were born, it must have some use for us, otherwise GOD would have already taking care of it.
One day I was in the local health food store, there was a man there demonstrating how to grow wheatgrass juice and what benefits it can give you. I tasted one shot from his table and it did not taste bad at all. The most important thing was he had a lot of literatures with him about wheatgrass juice and it's aid in healing cancer. I have heard from a friend years ago about someone who survived cancer because his wife had given him wheatgrass juice everyday. Of course at that time I did not pay attention. I bought Ann Wigmore's book "Wheatgrass Juice" from the store immediately. At that point I was willing to learn about anything related to nutrition and calorie intake. I read her book and started to search for organic wheat berries to grow my own cure. I found this wonderful site from the internet and ordered their wheatgrass kits.
Grow & Juice Your Own Wheat Grass For Pennies a Day. - Kits and supplies and information for growing and juicing wheat grass, barley grass. Includes juicers, indoor herb garden kits, sprouting kits, seed and supplies.

From the kit --- not just I got five pounds of wheat berries that sprout beautifully, I also noticed they had the cheapest price for the best wheatgrass juice machine ($50 cheaper than my local health food store for the most affordable model). The most valuable thing came with the kits was the book by Steve Meyerowitz. From the book I learned about the foremost Japanese researcher and self healer
