    Hello. I thought I’d share my success with the group. I have been a patient of Mark Hyman’s for four years. Initially, I came to him to lose weight, but I had just been through breast cancer and chemo. In addition, I was the heaviest I had ever been, and had a clotting disorder, diagnosed one year after my cancer that wouldn’t respond to any treatment. Mark evaluated me, and discovered I had mercury toxicity. It had: 1. destroyed my thyroid 2. caused the clotting disorder 3. affected my immune system (is this why I got cancer…?) 3. caused me to have severe insulin/metabolic syndrome. We started by fixing my thyroid, putting me on a detox plan and addressing the mercury. Now, four years later, my mercury is almost normal. He put me on the blood sugar solution advanced plan last year. I have lost 60 lbs. in the last four years, 40 of it since the blood sugar solution plan. I have never had this much success or felt this ”sane” in my life. I am the first page of Mark’s testimonials in the book! He has truly changed the quality of my life and given me back my hope and sanity. I look forward to learning more via this website. For those of you struggling, HANG IN THERE. If you really do it, the cravings do GO AWAY. Miracle? I thought so!

      Hi Eileen, thanks for sharing your story. That must have been very difficult. There are some things in life we are so thankful for it’s hard to find words. I guess for you that would be going to Dr. Hyman ”just to lose weight”. What an incredible turn of events for you. I’m happy for you. It is a struggle but I can’t think of any better place to hang out. Guess I’ll stick around too. – Barb (dy 2 wk 1)

      Isn’t it amazing when we are looking for answers, something presents itself , and, voila! Thank you for sharing your story. You are truly inspiring. Dr. Hyman’s BSS ”lifestyle” is practically the ”fountain of youth”, and certainly is the ticket to great health. The funny thing is how very, very SIMPLE the plan is. I am amazed at how many stories I have read on this website where people like you state how ”normal” and ”free” they feel following the plan. It is happening to all of us who are willing to give it a try. Most of us don’t have the incredible struggles you were challenged with, but having the knowledge and wisdom of Dr. Hyman, along with your determination, no doubt made success a sure thing in your fight for better health. Again, thanks.
