Ruchi Maheshwari story – Freedom
from 20 year pain
When
I first visited THAC 3 years ago, I thought I was just tagging along with my
husband & his parents who were having specific dis-ease. How could eating
fruits and not having dairy disappear the mild pain and soreness I lived with
for last 20+ years & the tail bone pain of last 10 years. Those were
structural and posture issues…
But
I went along anyway – what’s the harm in eating healthier??
In
3 weeks of following all that Dr. Venkat told me, my pain disappeared! I
started sleeping throughout the night, every night. My unpredictable
menstrual cycle, which had disrupted my life since the age of 13 eased out
into a predictable pattern over the next few months.
Waking
up every morning with the energy, raring to go was new to me – all my life, I
had trouble getting out of bed because I had tossed and turned most of the
night. I didn’t know my “normal” health could become so much better. Food
becomes structure, Thac tells us – That is so obvious, why didn’t I ever
think about it?
Last
week, just as I finished my dinner, I started to hiccup. Every 10 seconds,
very uncomfortable on a full stomach! I tried holding my breath. I tried
sipping exactly 8 sips of water. I tried a cold pack on tummy. I tried deep
breathing.
The
more I tried to control the spasm in my diaphragm, the more the hiccups
continued. Then I remembered a recent discussion with a group of Thac friends
on ‘letting go’. So I just lay down and relaxed those stomach muscles I had
been clenching. “I surrender to my body” I thought, and the hiccups were
gone! This small event taught me to get out of my own way and let my body do
what it needs to.
