hi , all of you!
this is my personal testimonial , not to put myself underlight but perhaps to inspire others, and i feel it has some purpose cause several person ask me by private message to share , so i start a discussion witch will be easier for me*.....
a warm thanks to tashalee thad re-read this testimonial and turn it from my "franglish" to a grammaticaly correct english , keep on tasha!!
five years ago one july morning , doctors said to me (a was in hospital for a while) "now we don't see any hope , sir...."
they were talking about me , my health conditions and my survy , and up to that moment i was so weak that i followed their advise
what i want to share here is that nothing will never lead you to death's door if you are convinced it wouldn't!! just that....any "possibility" of failing in your mind , any weakness in front of what others say about your disease , about you indeed , can create the issue!!
more than the food , it was this total shift in my mind that saved me.
low fat raw vegan was the perfect "tool" but the mind did the job!
in brief i was a runner ( ultra runner and trail moutain runner ) , competitor in moutain bike and so on...competing and succeeding in many races in france and some international.
but "mysteriously" i began to lose a lot of weight, year after year with nothing diagnosed. i was raw for 8 years (i'm a 12-year raw foodist and more than 20 years vegan).
but...raw in the high-fat, not high-fruit style.... and my weight dropped and i felt tired and tired; i couldn't perform in races ....
so desperately i went for a three-week awfully expensive stay in hippocrate's institute in florida, run by the "raw guru" brian clement.
of course they put me more on greens, on juice, on nuts and seeds (fermented , prepared in dishes) on sprouts and less than ever on fruits ......
and three months after i got back from florida , i was diagnosed with advanced tuberculosis, hepathic strong disease and global immuno deficiency ....
sero-negative but same symptoms as AIDS (later on i came to understand that the AIDS virus doesn't exist at all and that what we call AIDS is a conjunction of several "bad" living conditions that push the body to exhaustion....) i was in the hospital, being able to eat raw but after a while felt so down (30kg !! 68lb!!), in a rolling chair, so briefly i was "dying" according to them, and obviously it was the case.
and one night i had a dream that "showed" me the right way; that my body had the possibility to overcome, that i needed to stop any medicine, quit the hospital, go back to my father's house (somebody had to take care of me; it was impossible for me to wash, to eat, to sit without help) and mainly i saw an orange mango shining in the sun; it was the "sign".
i changed my raw diet to a high-fruit diet (at the beginning i also ate for some months, pushed by a friend, raw animal products, even raw meat, but recognized quickly that it was totally not a human food) and for four years i recovered.
the first year i put on 15 kg, up to 100 lb, and then during the last years it went slower but now i'm around 110 lb and putting a lot of muscle on (i train a lot; i know where i want to go!!! one should have a "winner" mind and the ability to see oneself succeeding if you want to.....)
i'm currently in thailand to learn earth-building techniques (i teach permaculture in france ) and...to enjoy!!!
so yeah it works, i'm personaly sure that you can cure anything by rest, fasting (if needed; it was inappropriate for me of course!!) and fruits and veggies!!
no supplements, no superfoods, no dried products; only whole, natural, non-prepared (no salad or mix, only mono-meals, several a day) and even...no nuts and seeds (and a few avocados once a while but really no more than one a week).
so simple--just sit on the earth and devour!! nothing more...and listen to the body.
giving sun, love, rest, activity, interactions with others and with nature, feeling, smelling, touching, tasting ......... just being in an open and always enthusiastically interrogative mind !! life has so much to give; life is soooo strong. the only one to believe and follow is the living power in you. forget all that others have said about you; you are what you deeply feel you are! it's up to you!!
if this can help others , it's my only whish!!

Wow, what an amazing story, thank you so much for sharing with us. More people need to hear testimonials of people who have defied the AIDs death diagnosis and proven how erroneous the HIV=AIDs myth really is.
Take care

Thierry, you are giving the world an impressive testimonial, and I wish your experience will benefit the largest possible number of people.
It is not wrong to say you basically are resuscitated, or that you had an Near Death Eexperience (even if you remained conscious the whole time, at 30kg you must have been nearly dead). The Mango you saw in the sun corresponds to the light at the end of the tunnel the NDE people experience.
My experience is *very* similar to yours, except at a lower level! I am fortunate I could include a fast in order to fully recover my physical abilities - recover them by first losing them... the natural process that so many people are unable to understand... the best cleaning ever, of the body, and also of the mind, a truely transforming experience.
We now have both basically recovered - like you, I am needing a few more pounds of essentially muscle weight, but I am slowly getting there.
I also have transformed my running into minimalist running, as I believe it allows me to avoid mistakes - I cannot go to faster than the natural pace my body was designed for when I run barefoot or with Five Fingers! I also have now a much deeper respect and love of my body, which makes me sleep and rest much more.
Thank you so much for enlarging the scope of health to all the other factors: it would be so foolish to limit it to a low fat raw vegan diet, even if this is probably a key of our recoveries.
You are also so right when you say that will-power is perhaps the most important factor in getting over chronic and auto-immune diseases: when we fully trust the true Nature theorems (the body is self-healing and self-repairing provided it lives within the adequate life conditions), the recovery becomes CERTAIN. Thanks God we could find the light!
Yes, your message WILL help others. Like mine will. I want to dedicate my life to spreading the true message of health, and I have an energy similar to yours, sharpened by the mental strengths I built through my ultra-running history!
of course calories count , even if it could sounds like a simple "mechanical" way of seeing things...it's at least a one that works......
thanks for your nice comment!
thanks both of you!!
good think that you could fast , i know that one day or other i will have to do.... but still waiting for the place and supervisor to do it...i'm confident in life , it will come!
actually my challenge is to increase my caloric intake eatch day , it's a huge work , i'm around 2700/3000 most days but also i train a lot so it's actually not enough!!
this is the biggest challenge actually for me , putting on muscle is quite easy comparing to learning to eat more when your stomach has been the one of a 30 kg zombie!
you are talking of NDE , i don't want to write on web about it , but the last days before my "enlightement" i had five heart stops , one quite long and what should happened , happened!
keep on training your body , your mind , we all are designed to be more than what we are actually!!
