Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko

by celeste Caruso
(Philadelphia)

Hi! I have had Crohn's disease for the past thirty years. Even after two operations and constant medication, symptoms still persisted. For the past several years I have been going to seminars, changing my diet and trying to educate myself more. The first thing I did was cut out all dairy products. I saw a definite improvement. Then I cut out all fried/fast foods and red meats. Again, I saw an improvement. Still had symptoms, though. But I was on the right track. I also stopped eating wheat crackers, bread etc... per a nutritionist and a doctor at one of the seminars I attended. Oh, I also stopped taking medication. It seemed to make conditions worse for me. Anyway, I was still looking for answers. I went to an alternative medicine doctor and he made me buy Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko. He also turned me onto different supplements. After finally reading the book and doing the green smoothies, I once again noticed an improvement. I have been drinking green smoothies for three years now. I take fish oil, cod liver oil, tumeric extract, magnesium/calcium, vitamin D and aloe juice. My symptoms are gone. I'm eating healthier, even nuts and salads. This didn't happen over night. The green smoothies are disgusting to look at but they are actually very tasty. They changed my life. I was always a strong believer in diet & stress being the cause of my illness. My doctors never agreed with me. I believe we know our bodies best. Just wanted to share my story. Please try green smoothies. Happy health to you.
