Anne you have heard from me before. During these trying times with the virus I feel a need to share an experience with 2 angels in the form of LDS missionaries. In 1985 I had carried 2 missionaries to a missionary activity in the country. When I dropped them off and arrived back home I saw a colorful cover on a paperback book on the floor in the back. I picked it up and laid it on the table in the kitchen. This was a Saturday night and since I traveled a lot with my business I used the time on Saturday to do chores. As the evening progressed literally everytime I passed by the book on the kitchen table I had the strongest impulse to sit down and read it. Let me explain something about my life then I was 45 years old with 9 children at home. I had developed a major ulcer and was devouring roolaids by the handful. I was tired all the time. I was driving at least a 1000 miles a week and was falling asleep 2 or 3 times a day while driving and sometimes running off the road. My wife was literally scared to death that I was going to die and leave her alone with 9 children. Back to the book. I succumbed to the influence and read the first 120 pages and woke my wife up at 1 am and told her I know what my problem is. The name of the book was "Fit for Life" by Harvey Diamond. I started immediately following the advice in the book and what happened was truly miraculous. My energy level went through the roof. Not long after my 16 year old daughter asked her mother "Why doesn't dad get mad anymore". In 3 months I lost 30 pounds,Ulcer completely gone.Since 1985 I have not been sick a single day. The book describes proper food combining. The main principle is keeping carbs seperate from meat at the same meal. Mixing meat and carbs will produce toxins and compromise the immune system. The lord spared the Prophet Joseph from learning basic chemistry and just said eat meat only in times of cold winter or famine and then SPARINGLY. I can run and not be weary at all and the destroying angel has deserted me. I truly hope this helps someone like it has helped me. BTW I turn 81 this year.
