In July 2021 I was diagnosed with a tumour in the left eye – a very rare condition and the doctor advised that surgery was the best option and I had to get my eye removed.

I was very clear that I did not want this.  I tried Ayurveda but there was no improvement and in March 2022, since the tumour was growing. That’s when a friend recommended Dr Nandita Shah.

At that time I also had high BP, high cholesterol and an enlarged prostate. I was taking two medicines for my high blood pressure besides other vitamins and supplements. I was able to reduce and stop these slowly, with Dr Shah’s help. Now my blood pressure and cholesterol are normal without medicines. I still have an enlarged prostate and symptoms from it.

I live alone with my wife, and I was told to eat a high amount of raw food. It was difficult to change my diet but I was willing to do everything to get well. It was also sometimes difficult for me to chew raw foods. But I could see that I felt better and I even enjoyed them, though I missed my cooked foods.

My wife prepared raw organic foods separately for me and later I even ordered some food from The Gratitude Kitchen.

It has been 1 year and 8 months now that I am under Dr Shah’s guidance. I have been more or less consistent and have done regular blood reports. All my parameters are good and Dr is always happy. I have lost 10 kilos and am actually underweight but I have no weakness. In this period Dr Shah has also treated me for other illnesses like fever, a couple of times, without medicines. I have been able to travel a few times too, and have managed healthy food wherever I went.

I have total faith in God, and I am sure that I will get my vision back. This Christmas will see me celebrate, but the healthy way. I can see that I have been fortunate with no new symptoms even though the eye issue and prostate enlargement are still there. I now believe that the body knows how to heal, and that the correct food can heal without medicines. I wish everyone a blessed Christmas. Don’t wait till you are sick to eat a healthy diet. Health is a gift that we have the choice to accept.
