The courageous story of how one man found a way to live medication free and healthy with Behcet's disease. In his mid fifties, Helmut Schroeder was diagnosed with Behcet's disease. Behcet's is a multi-symptom disease, painfully disabling and potentially fatal. His physicians told him there is no cure for this disease. Behcet's disease is not contagious and has been classified as a Chronic Disease. A chronic disease is a condition lasting three months or longer. This is by the definition of the U.S. National Center of Health Statistics. Managing it with drugs is the only option recommended by his physicians. He went on those drug treatments for a period of time and had severe allergic reactions from them. Not only did his health not improve, it worsened progressively. Yet his physicians offered no other treatment options. At that point, he realized that he had to find his own answers to his health issues. The only other option was a diet change, but his physicians did not support that idea. Nevertheless, he halted the drug treatments, and stopped eating the Standard American Diet (SAD). His new diet plan is mainly white rice with selected plant-based whole foods. Plant-based diets are recommended by a group of physicians who practice Lifestyle Medicine. With his positive attitude, he researched and found out about most of the foods that caused Behcet's disease. Almost thirty years later, Schroeder is still in good health and remains nearly BD free. He maintains an active lifestyle. This is his story. He describes in his book the trials and errors he encountered. Also how he avoids most of the allergy-causing foods that caused his BD, and how he restored his health. With his life-affirming attitude, he shows you how to become healthier, more positive, and challenge yourself to change.
