Twelve years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a debilitating auto-immune condition where the large intestines get inflamed and often bleed from intestinal ulcers. Food does not digest well and nutrients do not get absorbed properly, causing malnutrition and weakening of the immune system. Furthermore, the intestinal bleeding causes anemia which in turn, weakens the immune system even more. 
For ten years I suffered from terrible pain, weakness, depression, loss of appetite, weight loss and constant sicknesses. My energy was so low that I could only do the minimum in order to get through the day. I had no energy to enjoy my family, work or friends and this made me feel like a failure.
During those ten years of illness I tried conventional medicine and many alternative treatments that cost thousands of dollars. Some therapies helped a bit for a while, falling quite sick shortly after. 
Then, two years ago. with the support of my husband, I decided to go to the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida as my last hope for health. I  had been very sick for a while, bleeding quite heavily for over a year and a half. I was extremely weak and depressed. I felt like I was dying.

I knew about sprouts and about the Hippocrates Health Institute for years through reading Brian Clement and Ann Wigmore's books.
I had been following a healthier lifestyle on and off for seven years but not in a way that was very helpful. 
At the Hippocrates Health Institute I learnt thoroughly how to live the raw diet and how to heal myself by following a lifestyle change. This lifestyle change consisted of regular exercise, meditation, a positive attitude and a diet based mainly on sprouts. After three weeks of following this new lifestyle I accomplished what I couldn't in ten years. I completly stopped bleeding, regained my weight, my energy and my positive outlook for life. I became very alive, happy and energetic. I WAS HEALTHY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SO MANY YEARS!!!
