I've been reading a lot of the discussions and am sure I will learn a great deal. I've seen "Forks Over Knives" and have several vegan cookbooks. My husband and I have been eating mostly plant-based for a year now; he's doing great, lost about 25 pounds and no longer has ED. The diet reversed my high blood pressure and lowered my blood sugar, as I was on the verge of Type 2 diabetes.
I had 2 ruptured disks in my lower back - the first in 1986, the second in 2003. I have numbness in my feet all the way up to my knees. I am in constant pain and wondering if this eating style will help this situation. Today is a particularly bad pain day... so is it coincidence that I found this website at this moment?
Without a doubt losing more weight will help, I've still got at least 40 pounds to go, but I'd also like to be free of the pain medication I've been on for about 5 years and have the ability to be more physically active.
Thanks so much to Dr. McDougall, and I am looking forward to getting acquainted with everyone.
