Inflammation Relieved By Becoming Vegan.

I’ve been a Remedial massage therapist for 21 years. 5 years ago my elbow became really inflamed and sore, it was so bad I could barely move it. I was trying everything, Yoga, massage, Chiropractic and acupuncture. I would get minimal relief for a short time. I came to the conclusion that I’d have to retire from massage. I went to yoga teacher training in Bali, 2015. I had the most relief while I was there, I was meditating and practicing yoga for 3-4 hours a day, the pain didn’t completely go, but I was able to use it better every day. Before I went to Bali there had been some news at home about dog meat being served, so I stayed away from the meat while I was there (just incase). While there we learned about the 8 limbs of yoga and in one of those limbs is Ahimsa (in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jainist tradition) respect for all living things and avoidance of violence towards others.

Food Intolerances And Fodmaps

I’m 64, and about 10 years ago I started noticing that my gut was playing up. I'd brought up 4 kids on what I considered to be a healthy diet of home-cooked meals, although there was a fair amount of baking in the mix! I had severe heartburn so sought medical help and went on medication for that. The problems with my gut continued, though. I was lucky to be living in Auckland at the time and had private medical insurance. My GP was sympathetic and referred me to a gastroenterologist in Milford, Ishy Maharaj. By then I'd done some reading about FODMAPS which resonated with me. Further tests were done to ensure there was no cancer lurking - a relief to know I was in the clear. Ishy was just lovely and treated me with respect. He gave me reading material and said I was intelligent enough to work out the diet. So home I went to figure it out, but I was actually quite shattered. My relationship with food had changed forever. Now I was almost too scared to eat anything. I
