      I found out about Dr. Carney through the PlantPure Summit. I have been 100% plant based since January 2012. I still have a couple of health issues tI found out about Dr. Carney through the PlantPure Summit. I have been 100% plant based since January 2012. I still have a couple of health issues that I can't seem to get rid of. I have problems with the joints in my hands. I have had testing done and no inflammation shows up but I wake up with trigger fingers. After I am up and around, it all loosens up. Not sure what is in my diet that could cause that - or what to eliminate.

      The other freaky thing was that last November I developed diverticulitis. I knew that I had diverticulosis but I thought my new high fiber diet would heal that. In fact, this was the first time I have ever had the "itis" part. It shook my faith but I held strong!! I will never go back to the SAD diet. I've been ok since but I really had to up the probiotics to combat all the antibiotics they gave me.

      Anyway, looking forward to more information here. Thanks!        More ...
