Why Gange, A Vegetarian, Would Not Have To Go On Medications Anymore

My name would appear as the author because I posted this on this website as a blog/article under the category "Testimonials". I’m Gange, and my story begins with getting my blood work done. When I was in New York, I was working with a primary care physician who wanted to get my blood work done annually. My numbers were fluctuating here and there, but these were not of any major concern to my primary care physician at that time. We then moved to Arizona about three years ago, and I had my first blood work done here in November 2019. My test results showed that some numbers have increased significantly; and being a vegetarian, I was surprised by how high these numbers can be. This time, I was told that if my numbers don’t come down, I may need medication.

Coincidentally, my wife, who was attending yoga classes in the community center here in Arizona, met Dr. Edelita Jamis. She explained to my wife that there are many patients who have had various illnesses that she has treated through lifestyle medicine, and got them off their medication. When I decided to meet her, I naturally had a lot of questions in mind, which she addressed one by one. She explained well how the program works, and that’s how we started. I knew I was lucky that I didn’t have to start any medication for either my A1C or cholesterol yet, and she told me that I actually came at the right time. She emphasized that I needed to take the program seriously and follow what she told me, and then I wouldn't have to go on any medications.

In January 2020, I started the program and incorporated certain dietary and lifestyle changes. Being a vegetarian, continuing with the whole-food plant-based diet was not a challenge. But, it took a lot of discipline when it came to not using too much salt or oil when cooking, or having too much sugar in anything I eat. I also learned how to read food labels and buy proper food. The exercise I do for 20 minutes everyday also helps in combination with my diet. And, in just four months of being in the program, the first blood work already showed some changes and the numbers went down. My A1c which has been at 6+ for decades came down to 5.8. Initially, I was on two blood pressure medications and I was only taking one in just 2 months. I continued everything that Dr. Jamis taught me even after the program. I'm glad I did because on July 2021, my A1c continued to drop to 5.2. My triglycerides came down to 101, and then down to and my total cholesterol came down from 217 to 175. My LDL dropped from 122 to 88. My prostate test (PSA) which had been elevated for at least three decades also finally normalized.

Even my family doctor was surprised to learn about my results, so I told her about Dr. Edelita’s program. And, I would like everyone to know that she is the kind of doctor who’s very dedicated and professional. As long as you have a goal before you start and you’re willing to be disciplined, you will succeed. “If I start this, I’m going to finish this” — that kind of mindset. I recommend everybody to try this program if your numbers in your blood work are not good. Dr. Jamis is a very good lifestyle medicine doctor.

P.S. I now grow my own garden at home!

"I tried going vegan and whole foods plant based diet several times on my own without much sustained success. Then I met Dr. Edelita Jamis. She changed my life. She gave me many tools I didn’t have before. One of the most important things I got from her was the education on portion sizes and information on food labels. This changed everything for me. I lost 14 pounds in my first month working with her. In the second month, my A1c went from 6.2 to 5.2 and my kidney function improved by 11 points. I looked forward to her calls. She was motivating, encouraging, very helpful, and was a wonderful listener. I believe she was sent into my life at just the right time. I am very thankful to her!"

"The Results Were Miraculous!"

My name is Philip Lynn. I have a history of three vessel heart bypass surgery at the age of 49. One of the bypass graft had to be redone a year later. The following years, I underwent heart stenting procedure to open up few more obstructed arteries in my heart. I also suffered two strokes that left me weak on my left side. I was taking insulin three times a day (total of 84 units a day) for diabetes. I was taking fifteen different medicines twice a day. My cholesterol was in dangerous range’s, and my A1c was 10.1. I was unable to control my diabetes and my weight, which was 284 lbs.

On July 14, 2018, I had my first appointment with Dr. Edelita Jamis. Dr. Jamis asked me if I wanted to “improve my quality of life and possibly extend my life.” She introduced me to a plant-based life style and suggested that I watch “Forks over Knives” documentary. And, she wanted me to follow up with her regularly. I committed to following this plan.

The results were miraculous. In less than a week, I was off my insulin. My A1c came down to 5.5 after four months. My weight gradually and consistently came down too and I now weigh 179 lbs. I now only take 4 prescription medications. My cholesterol and blood pressure are perfect with no blood pressure medicine.

My quality of life has improved physically, mentally and spiritually. I do things that I could not imagined I would ever do again.

I can walk my dog for as long as I want to. I do Yoga three times a week. I do a 40-minute cardio exercise, and lift weights six times a week.

For the first eight months, Dr. Jamis counseled me weekly. I will always be grateful to God for that day in July 2018 and Dr. Jamis. I believe she changed and saved my life.
