I know you don't like people saying you are an inspiration but you are a shining example of how to go about recovery. I am glad you find inner strength and strength from God to not give up. I don't want to give up either. Hugs, loves, hello kitty band aids, glitter, pretty scarves, kisses and prayers for you. I so want you to get better! I know you want the same for us too so I am working on it :) I do believe in miracles xxxx

Johnny, you are my hero. I wish I could hug you. Tight. Recovery is in your sights my dear. And you're reaching out for it. :-)

[narcissiste84]

Hey Johnny, so happy to hear that your feeling better, and that you've found something that's going to help restore your health. I know you've still got a long road ahead, but it sounds like your making some excellent progress. We're all so proud of you!

[Lovesenduringpromise]

You have no idea how proud I am of you. When I first started to recover I felt a lot more balanced too, it was an AWESOME feeling, hard to describe, but so amazing. It's feels nice to put healthy foods into your body.

so proud of you bubba

[BlueCoffeeDK]

First off I want to tell you that you are awesome, you really are. It's great that you're getting better, and are so focused on taking back your life! and I think that it's great, that you find so much comfort in Jesus and God, but I really want you to think about that, yeah maybe God gave you the strenght to beat this, but it was you alone who chose to use it! And you should really be proud about that, and thank yourself, that you chose to use the strenght, that was given to you!

-XOXO

[MissMatania]

Ohhh insomnia sucks anyway...so actual for me last days :((

[eluvzmokie]

bless you Johnny and thank you for sharing this journey with us. if you are able, please continue sharing because i am so happy for you and i love seeing the changes, especially the attitude changes! ps, how was the ramen girl? i wanted to see it lol

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Thanks so much dear. The movie was cute, nothing spectacular but def. cute in a make you smile kind of way@ Watch it!

[eluvzmokie]

i can relate to the lack of sleep, but it is so amazing that you stuck it out like the trooper that you are and continued to follow in the path of the avocado and the IV. you have been inspiring me to have more Faith and you know what? as crappy as things may be, my G-d (we spell like that in my religion) is helping me and answering my prayers and giving me strength so i really thought you had to know! you also inspired me to have faith in ND because my mom wants me to use it for my pain issues.

[RawHealingPatch]

thanks for sharing this series with us! you are so strong and are doing wonderful. :) biglove comin at ya papppeeyyyy!!!!

[Isabet]

You are becoming such a strong person! I watched the whole series and I am so happy for you that you were able to do so much with the IVs, and then increasing calories and eating. Your positive attitude is so great! I love coming on here and seeing the changes that you are making, and the work God is doing in your life! You are a walking miracle, Johnny! :-)

[sweetsmile1]

[PopGoThePeaches]

Sorry its been so long since I last commented Johnny! Your focus on healing is as inspiring as ever and I'm so proud of you for these new steps you are taking! Keep us updated on how it all goes! Big big big big love to you xxx

[Ativabrand]

logical thoughts versus irrational thoughts, that goes for all of us in our thinking, in every area. Thanks for bring that up. I always leave blessed after listening to you. Praying for your strength and well being

[videofan77]

*hugs* ^-^

*squeezes you tight.. but not too tight ^-^*

Mwah! xx

[TheBeautyofVanity]

Awesome news. I saw this montel williams blender on late night tv...I guess it can make a raw soup but warm. Kinda expensive...but I though of you. Can you see color better yet? (more vibrant) No need to reply...just wait for it to happen. ☺ Its pretty neat. I love how you are including all these detail facts. It makes the whole process feel/seem less daunting if one were to have to also undertake this treatment. Everthing IS going to be VERY o.k. ~☺♫☺~ Hope you had a good nap!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

It's probably the Vitamix, very popular. Runs from 300 to 500/600 depending on model and where you buy... it's one of the best investments ever. I love mine! Always nice to hear from you dear. Will I be seeing color better!? Glad I can throw in tidbits, sure beats repeative questions or ones I may miss due to abundance of well appreciated comments!!! Keeping it real my friend... maybe some Living Single ladies while in bed in a bit!

[SnowflakeTattoos]

Im so happy for you! I can tell that you really want to get better and that you have the strength to make it through. Youre a champion!

Im in a similar place with my ED right now, I just realized that I need to struggle with it and I cant give up. It feels like God came to me and told me that it was all going to be OK, and I need to stop with the abuse now, because another day is a day too much.

I have a feeling that were going to be okay. Im praying for us.

[hananathebanana]

I have been praying hard for you and I'm glad to see you doing better and that you're in a really positive mood. I'll carry on praying that it continues.

Hugs!!

=]

[NunaFeedTheDucks]

Everythings going to be ok Johnny love, I feel you will gain more strength with each treatment.

This will smother and drown out the voice of ED chants. This treatment will let nothing and no one stand in it's way, giving you time to build a wall that will stamp out and ignore negativity that stops you returning to a strong and healthy life. Feel the blessing out this treatment Johnny my dear, you are in my prayers love always. BIG HUGS Margaret x x x

[ready4itnow]

Hi Johnny! These videos have been incredible- thank you for sharing this with us. I'm incredibly excited for you! I was wondering if i could ask a question? I have suffered from severe bulimia since i was 13 (am 21 now) and although i have had 6 strong months in recovery (5 months without purging), i am worried about my digestive tract and absorption too.... do you know any resources that would let me know if i'd benefit from juicing and pureeing? Many thanks, xx

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Hi sweetie, congrats on your recovery process! I would like to answer your question but do not understand it. Are you asking for juicing recipes/resources or resources for testing to see where you micronutrient levels are and digestive health? as in resources for those who can help validate if juicing is helping you?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Wait, I think I get it - more information on the anatomy and physiology of the body and blended foods. I have some good links in my profile, they are related to raw foods and that is the path I would direct people. I would recommend everyone to juice, regardlessof their health issues. I would recommend for you to start adding green smoothies. A must. If you don't mind me asking - what is your current meal plan and food choices like? What types of food are you eating? Food choices are crcucial -

[MyOwnStickFigure]

crucial in the healing process. Certain foods, like meat and dairy, wear and tear the body and are horrific for those with GI problems. Nuts and seeds must be soaked and sprouted... then there are food cominations, the list goes on and I'd be here all day lol but check out my resource links for education. You will learn a ton and it can help you with your diet and current health challenges. I'll tell you, if I wasn't preparing my food the ways I am then I'd be in deep shit - pardon my French.

[ready4itnow]

Thanks so much for replying to me- means so much. My meal plan is on the theory of eating little and often to prevent bingeing. I am a recently converted vegetarian and am making a concious effort to eat raw where possible now. I make a lot of raw vegetable soups and eat those cold but that's about as good as i get (!) I shall check out the links on your profile. I have GERD, oesophageal and stomach tears and suffer from GI bleeds, so am aware my digestive tract could be in better condition! xx

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I deal with the same issues... ulcer attacks and blood leaks are the worst. I will tell you, the best cure for ulcers is cabbage juice... fresh aloe... they are VERY mending and help. You can grow your own aloe very easily too. Hugs and healing. I just sent you the video, enjoy! You will be okay my friend! me too!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Oh hey and listen, must mention this - you are not limited to raw soups! There are many raw dishes you can make in the processor! Always chew your juices and smoothies... so there are many options from complete mush ro transitional mush, lol - complete mush is the easiest to digest: smoothies, raw soups and desert whips... guacamole, ice cream, hummus/dips... and transitional like salsas, pates and spreads, chunky raw soups... etc Your body will tell you waht it can or cant handle, listen to it

[MyOwnStickFigure]

for it speaks the wisdom we need to hear but often spend so much time ignoring and then wonder why things are the ways that they are. You feel me? i feel me lol. When working with your body's needs - the more you blend and less ingredients you blend the better the digestion, always. There are also many foods people like us MUST avoid , especially those which trigger GERD attacks. Spices are the devil, onions and garlic are very disruptive as well, black pepper and all highly acidic foods...

[ready4itnow]

Thank you so much for your wisdom, this has really helped me. I'm going to get experimenting and researching this week! Look after you and stay positive- you are amazing. x

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Ps you are so in luck! My friends at the RawHealingPatch just made a video a week or so ago on blending and juicing foods. Julie, the host, is the EXPERT so I will be delighted to send you the video right now! Please feel free to ask them any questions... Julie answers them in depth and her knowledge will blow you away!!! love them, sending now babe!

[liligrl90]

ive beenm watching u for awhile and i dont think ive ever left a comment but i had to leave one today..i dont know u but i feel so proud of u ur so strong im glad to hear that ur doing well i hope the best for u

[xxTheWhatxx]

So happy to hear the day after is going well for you. Keep up the good work.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Blessings to you my friend. You are such a sweetie Shawna. Ps. I forgot to ask, whats your current favorite juice to make?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Juicing is Godsend. Juicing is literally like equvilant to my IV treatments in a sense of rapid absorption but through the GI tract... Everyone needs to and can benefit from juicing on a daily basis. Today I bought a beautiful bunch of red cabbage to juice. I get bad GERD and ulcer attacks - cabbage is king for this. I got a newletter saying purple cabbage has the same antioxident propertites as blueberries and all our other high antioxidant berries. Fight free radicals, juice purple cabbage!

[SessanTunsberg]

Omg! I couldnt stop looking at your beautyful brown eyes:D Love hugs and kisses!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Hey i am impressed! How sweet, thank you love bug. Hey how are you doing with eating? I remember you got off the IV, how have things been for you since then? Ps. this room gets beautiful light that really shines my face all white!

[SessanTunsberg]

Well I havent been making videos after my major weight gain. Im trying to get used to it now. This is a big step for me. and Im fighting everyday to maintain! im doing good so far! Still alot of bad thoughts, but i just dont listen to them half of the time!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Numbers don't count. Life does. You gained LIFE and I am so proud of you. Take your time. Healing is a process and you will return when you are ready and stable to do so. You are loved and supported my dear!

[Genevra83]

Johnny I'm so impressed and proud of all the work you're doing. Sending you lots of positive energy and support. Power to the journey you're on! :o)

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Thank you so much. I really am fighting and it feels good. These are the types of moments I want to share most with everyone. I give all the glory to God.
