Dear Amy;
Please consider this letter a special "Thank you!" for all that you have done in helping my husband, Calvin, and I with our quest for living healthy.
We embarked on our journey for healthier living because we were so fed up with being tired all the time. Especially Calvin, he would come home from work and sit in his chair with a magazine, he simply had nothing left to give. I suffered from frequent headaches and often felt dazed and foggy, my solution for both was to increase my intake of caffeine. We knew that we were too young to feel as old as we did.
Now, 3 months after your help with the modified elimination diet, we are different people! Calvin comes home with energy to spare. He helps me fix supper, plays with our children, and has completed several projects around the house that has been untouched for years. More than that, his Irritable Bowel Syndrome, for which he suffered extensive medical testing, is gone! He had also been prescribed an expensive daily heartburn medication: the bottle hasn't been touched since last December. My headaches are gone, my energy level has increased dramatically, and I am a happier person. An unforeseen benefit has been the awareness our children now have of good foods. They know more at 3 and 5 than I did as an adult!
Amy, we feel better, we live better, and we are better parents because of your help and guidance. Your willingness to share your experiences and sources of wholesome foods was invaluable, as was your support. Changing ones lifestyle in the interest of better health takes a huge commitment, one that you helped us hold onto. It was easy to feel overwhelmed at first at the beginning, reading labels, learning about nutrition, and learning where to buy items. We learned so much from you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Jackie Chipperfield |
