nutrition that works

I'll Never Forget That Day... The doctor cleared his throat. “I’m sorry… but I have bad news.” He looked at my dad. “You have cancer.” In high school, my dad was an athlete. An All-American football player. Now he was sick. Very sick. Before long, he needed an oxygen machine just to breathe. And he stayed that way... for eight years. Simple things became hard. Walking. Sleeping. Getting up. Eventually, he couldn’t climb the stairs. He spent his final months in a hospital bed in the den. One afternoon, Mom was in the kitchen. Suddenly she heard Dad gasping for air. She rushed into the den. “Breathe, Paul! Breathe!” But it was too late. That night, the phone rang. “I guess you know why I’m calling.” “Your father has passed away.” I don’t want to end up like that. Neither did my friend Janice Gravely. But by her mid-70s, she was getting worse. Her family talked about hiring a full-time nurse. She made a small chan...

Her name was Janice Gravely. But to me, she was always Mrs. Gravely. She was my friend. Janice Gravely My mom knew her before I did. They both went to a monthly Christian women's meeting. Mom told me Mrs. Gravely would sometimes fall asleep during the meetings. Her health had been getting worse. By her mid-70s, she was dealing with several health problems. Her family had even talked about hiring a full-time nurse. But that was only part of her story. Years earlier, she and her husband were flying together in a small airplane. Her husband suffered a heart attack while flying. Mrs. Gravely had never flown a plane before. Suddenly she was alone in the air. No idea how to land it. Somehow, she survived the crash. Her husband did not. Years later, something else happened. She was still traveling and speaking. After one event, someone handed her a drink made from young green barley grass. She noticed she still had energy afterward. She...

My wife had worn glasses for years. It was simply a part of her life. Driving. Watching movies. Sitting at a game. Normal everyday things. Laura and Brady Then one morning, she noticed something weird. She put her glasses on... and things looked blurry. So she took them off. And things seemed clearer without them. That surprised both of us. Especially because we hadn't expected it. At the time, we had been drinking green drinks regularly. Things like young green barley grass juice powder and carrot juice. Not perfectly. Consistently. Years later, she still rarely wears glasses. This is one person's experience. Results can vary from person to person.

“Good morning. My name is John… and we’re from the funeral home.” I still remember hearing those words. Two men in dark suits pushed a stretcher down the hallway and into the back bedroom. My grandfather had been in a coma for days. Then early that morning, he was gone. Before he got sick, my grandfather owned Shur-Strike Bait in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He sold fishing tackle to small mom-and-pop stores along the North Carolina coast. Lures. Rods and reels. Hooks, lines, cane poles, and bobbers. He always wore a suit and tie. Usually a felt hat that matched. Every Monday morning, he would leave home and travel all week before coming back Friday night. Tom and Mary Smith Rocky Mount, NC Then he got lung cancer. He was a smoker. A lot of people smoked back then. Once the chemo treatments started, he went downhill fast. He did not want to die in a hospital room. So his family brought him home. He spent the last several months of his li...

That's what it sounded like to her. A green powder. Big claims. The kind of thing a lot of people would throw away. She almost did. Her name was Janet Pauly. She was a registered nurse. By that point, doctors had already tried everything they could. Years of treatments. Radiation. Investigational drugs. Eventually, she was told there was nothing left to try. She was sent home. No more appointments. Then a friend mailed her something unusual. A sandwich bag with young green barley grass powder. And a cassette tape explaining what it was. Janet didn't know what to think. It sounded ridiculous to her. She later said she thought it might be a scam. But she tried it. Not overnight. Not all at once. Little by little... she later said she slowly started feeling more like herself again. Janet Pauly I remember hearing her story for the first time. I started thinking differently about nutrition. About food. About what p...
