In March 2004, I underwent major surgery to repair a completely crushed
pelvis, the result of a serious ski accident that occurred when I went
off an Olympic jump and crashed into a packed-hard table area. I ended
up with a plate and 9 pins holding me together and spent the next 10
months in physical therapy, on morphine and other prescription drugs
for the extreme pain. By the end of the year, I was able to ski again,
but was relying heavily upon ibuprofen for the ongoing pain.
When the acai juice became available in January 2005, I stopped all
my medications and decided to work toward a natural, safe way to help
my body heal itself. For the first month, I drank 4 oz, twice a day,
and before 3 weeks had gone by, all the pain had vanished. I am now
drinking half that amount and totally enjoying living without anything
hurting.
Along with this story, about two years ago, I was diagnosed as a
Type II diabetic with the A-1 blood test (90-day-average blood sugar
analysis) at a too-high level of 7.9. Even with the prescribed
Metaformin, 850 mg. twice daily, a year later this test was still at 7.
I'd run out of my prescription around the time I began drinking
the acai juice and didn't refill it. About 90 days later, my doctor did
another A-1 test and was stunned at the lab report--my reading was at
5.9! He said he had no idea what I was doing but urged me to keep it
up. Now, some 7 months after I began drinking the acai juice, my daily
blood sugar readings are consistently below 100.
