About Papajoe

Papajoe

About Me:: You already have my picture and name which I used on the Juice Feast. I am 68 years young and have a twin sister who is a cancer survivor. I am Joe and my twin is Josephine (Joy) I to rented Kris's movie the other night and was amazed at the similarities in a search for health. I 2003 I was 295 lbs. I live in Georgia and my sister lives in New Hampshire. My sister was diagnoised with type 2 diabetes. So I figured that I should start doing something about my health and started surfing the net. I found Val Archer who introduced me to Ann Whigmore and Shazzie, energy soup and sprouting. At the same time I found Allissa Cohen who had just written her raw food book and selling them out of her kitchen in Florida.I started following their suggestions and lost 95lb in 2 1/2 months. ( I had a 20 day water only fast in there too.) during that time I read China Study, fast food nation, supersize me, Robbins books. and started doing 1/2 hour of Thia Chi every morning and 30 minutes of rebounding.I cleaned out my kitchen gave all my pots and pans away and all, canned and processed foods, sugars, flour and wheat products. ( I felt guilty because I knew what that stuff can do to you) . in 2004 My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had 7 lymph node removed and went through Chemo and radiation treatment. She came down for a visit right after her chemo and stayed with me for a week and I feed her green smoothies, Juice and raw dishes from Carol Alt, Shazzie, and Allissa's, and Victoria's books. I found out that Bitter Melon a Chinese Vegetable was a natural substitute for Diabetes medicine and would juice one a day with an apple. ( I have chinese friends and had been eating bitter melon once or twice a week for a number of years before this.For my birthday in 2005 my 14 year old grand daughter gave me Dr young's ph book. So right now I am about 100% raw. I live on smooties but since Feb 15th have been juice feasting. I have been waitng for the 30 days raw dvd to come out so i can send it to my sister. I just ordered 3 copies of Kris's dvd and book. one set for her one set for me and one set for a friend who used to work at Ann Whigmores Chi center in Detroit growing their wheat grass. I am really excited about finding this site. because I feel God has given me all this knowledge to help her through my example.
I know this is long winded but I love her and I know she can have a better life.

At 5:19am on September 14th, 2008, Papajoe said…: This past week was a rough one for me. Sunday morning I got up and had fever,102.5 Temp I also had pain in my stomach. I couldn't break the temp or clear up the pain I tried enemas, and every thing I had ever used. This went till wed morning. I usually drink water at 1 liter doses and could only manage 1/2 cup at a time. I went to a doctor for the first time since 1989. They found I had a urinary tract infection which caused the fever and treated me for it and also prescribed golytely to break up the constipation. They also drew blood. and after reading the accounts of all of you I truely believe Dracula is in charge of the AMA. When I went back on Friday the tests indicated I had Hypothyroidism and the docter started me on 75mcg of Syntroid. The tests also showed I had hepetitis and they are going to run further tests They drew more blood. I have probably had this for about 30 years. I had a twitching in my lips and shaking in my hand if I picked up something. I had gone to a nurologist sabout 30 year s ago and he said it was cause by stress and gave me some pills. An hour after I took the Syntroid the twiching and shaking stopped. My daughter thought I had parkinsons. Another thing was that i coud stand extreme heat. So please keep me in your payers for a good diagnosis for the hepetitis.
