Mumbai based Dr Jaghruti K Jani was suffering from asthmatic bronchitis for 28 years until she changed her diet.
“I was suffering from asthmatic bronchitis since the age of 12. I used to have attacks of sneezing and I just thought it was allergies. I was 18 years old when I had my first episode of asthmatic bronchitis and then it used to happen every 2 to 3 months. I couldn’t figure out the reasons and just chalked it up to the Mumbai pollution. I could never get wet in the rain, have cold beverages or travel easily due to my fear of getting an asthma attack.
At the age of 40, I came across information about Dr Nandita Shah and I attended the ‘Peas vs Pills’ seminar. There was an eye-opening testimony of a gentleman who was on daily inhalers for asthma as well high cholesterol. He had attended a previous workshop by Dr Nandita after which he immediately went on a whole food plant-based diet. Within the next 2 months, his cholesterol dropped and didn’t need the inhalers anymore!
My husband encouraged me to follow this diet and since then we have been whole plant-based. It’s been 6 years and I haven’t had an attack and sometimes I forget that I was a patient of asthmatic bronchitis! I am a homoeopath, BHMS Gold medallist, but still couldn’t ever figure out the reason for my situation.
Today I am so happy as I love playing and getting wet in the rain! I have refreshing cold water during the hot summers! I travel easily with no fear of getting an asthmatic bronchitis episode! I have not even bought any more asthmatic medicines in these 6 years either!” – Dr Jaghruti K Jani, Mumbai.
