Natural Healthiness
Every joint in his body was inflamed. Even his eyes were inflamed. Bed-ridden and not able to see, Michael eventually made it to the doctors where he was prescribed steroids and sent home to recover. But recover he did not and in a last-ditch attempt to save himself, he started looking for someone who may be able to heal him and he stumbled across me.
I met Michael in February 2025 and we immediately started working together. Michael was the perfect student. He literally did EVERYTHING that I told him to do, to the point where I had to choose carefully what I suggested, because if I just whispered a process, Michael had actioned it by the next day!
A Paleo-Keto Lifestyle started to heal Michael, but we had to get to some real extremes to stop his inflammation surging through his body; at one point Michael went completely carnivore and was on the OMAD diet – One Meal A Day. We found that when he didn’t eat, his inflammation disappeared.
Now obviously, a No Food Diet is not a possibility, so we just had to work out what was inflaming him. After 28 days Michael was so much better and now, apart from some inflammation still at the epicentre of his right foot, he is able to do most things, especially his love which is Free Diving.
In fact, last weekend Michael, my son, and myself met on the beach in Southsea to alternate between sea swimming (at 10 degrees!) and infrared sauna-ing! It was so satisfying to see him walking barefoot into the sea and back up the beach and I had to swallow hard against the lump that rose in my throat when Michael said “You saved my life”. Michael thanked me for guiding him through the process; he said “I had no hope and you gave me hope and my life back”.
Michael has won many health battles over the last few months, and he continues to work hard, supporting his body with a Paleo-Keto lifestyle, in order to achieve optimal health.
