The Condensed Version of My Eighteen-Chapter Autobiography:

Have I Got GOOD NEWS For You!

by Barbara Dewey

(My 50-Year Battle With Hypoglycemia, Candida, Fatigue, Depression, Overweight and Poor Health)

I was born in l939 in a very small northern Michigan town called Lewiston. As the title of the first chapter of my full-length book states, I was "Born Tired." Those words really summarize the story of my life. Even moving around was such an effort. I can still feel the tremendous exhaustion that I felt to greater and lesser degrees for the next forty-some years. I didn't even enjoy playing as a child. My favorite position has always been lying flat on a couch with something to read. (Note that television didn't become wide-spread until I was out of high school.) Along with this great fatigue/depression came an overwhelming desire for sweets. Although no association was made at the time, my sugar binges were accompanied by very bad behavior and temper outbursts. Experts today call the behavior: Bipolar Disorder, Manic Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, or Schizophrenia. My mom and dad even took me to a psychologist to find out what was wrong with me. It was very exasperating for all of us. I got a switch on the backs of my legs more times than I would care to count. I really hated the way I acted, but was unable to control my behavior. My great sweet consumption also took its toll on my teeth. I refused to go to the dentist until I was forced into it at age ten, with a tooth so bad that it had to be extracted. I must have been the original "filling kid" as my teeth became so full of silver mercury-amalgalm. I wouldn't learn until nearly forty years later how those fillings adversely affected my health.

Chapter two of my book is entitled, "The Vicious Spiral Down." I state that the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the sick get sicker. When I was in the sixth grade, I developed an illness that I now recognize as low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. I was in bed for six weeks, too exhausted to get up. Penicillin was the "wonder drug" during those years and I was given a shot of it every day for many weeks. The shots, however, only made me worse. It wasn't until nearly forty years later that I learned about "candida albicans," the yeast disorder that often develops with the longtime use of antibiotics. (Self-check tests for hypoglycemia and candida albicans are in the "Self-check Tests" on this website.)

The great cravings that I had for sweets also contributed to the weight problem that I developed. I started dieting in the seventh grade and continued the practice until just a few years ago. I drank liquid diets, ate diet cookies and candies, and tried every diet that I could find. I started taking prescription diet pills at age eighteen and took them for the next twenty-two years. My mood swings continued and I had a very difficult time getting along with anyone. I was frequently depressed, feeling that nobody loved me. I always knew that I would be a teacher. I often said that I wanted to make the world a better place for having lived here, knowing full well that I had been making it a worse place by my presence. Fortunately, my chronic fatigue and personality problems didn't stop me from doing well academically. I forced myself to study. I needed some redeeming quality to make up for what I lacked in the human relation's department. I graduated cum laude from Central Michigan University in l96l. That fall I went to a nearby town to teach. It was there that I met my husband. We were married the next June. My mom says that she cried at our wedding because she felt so sorry for my husband. FUNNY! We then moved to Milwaukee where I taught ninth grade English, and my husband studied in mortuary school. The next year we moved back to Michigan where my husband was a funeral director and I taught for four and a half more years. My irratic behavior created more than a few marriage problems.

In l965 I was watching a Billy Graham Crusade on television. When Dr. Graham told how a person can become a Christian, I knelt in front of the television set and prayed with him. He said that, first of all, I had to admit that I was a sinner. I had no problem with that. I felt like I was the world's number one sinner. Then he said that I had to believe that God came to earth in the form of His Son, Jesus Christ, and that He died an agonizing death on a cross. That death was to pay for the sins of the people who would believe in Him. He also said that God, in the form of the Holy Spirit, would come inside my body to live if I invited Him to. (God is already on the outside of our bodies, covering the whole universe, holding everything together. But to be inside, He has to be invited.) I was desperate at the time, so I felt that I had nothing to lose, so I asked Jesus into my life. Looking back I can plainly see that it was positively the best thing that I ever did in my entire life.

For a while I was very embarrassed about the experience and didn't want anyone to know about it. (I had become the "religious fanatic" that my father had warned me about.) I started going to church, however, and began to grow spiritually. I found in the Bible that Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of Me, before men, then I will be ashamed of you before my Father Who is in Heaven.� Consequently, I started telling people that I was a new Christian. I also found these comforting verses in the Bible: "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." "Learn of Me, for my yoke is easy and My burden is light." My burden certainly was heavy, so I turned my life completely over to God. My life was in a terrible state, and I really had nowhere else to go. I thought that I must have just been "born bad" and there was nothing that I could do about it. I had no idea that my poor physical health was causing my tremendous fatigue, depression, irritability, and temper outbursts.

I quit teaching school because I became pregnant for my first daughter. I gained forty pounds during that pregnancy. My weight problem had always been bad, but now it was greatly compounded. Neither did my behavior improve. Once my husband told me, "Some Christian you are! You act just as bad as you always did!" And I knew that he was right. I just couldn't seem to do anything about it. I cried out to God to help me.

At that time I joined a national diet club and soon lost twenty-five pounds. The diet club diets are not the best, but they do teach moderate and controlled eating, something that everyone needs to learn. I remember so well my instructor recommending that class members read THE SUGAR BLUES by William Dufty. Mr. Dufty was married to the beautiful actress Gloria Swanson (now deceased), who kept her beauty her whole life. She NEVER ate sugar products, saying, "Eating sugar is like eating ground glass!" The book was just what I needed. (Order it from a health food store.) It opened my eyes to the damage that can be done to a person through sugar product consumption. I STARTED FEELING BETTER THE VERY DAY THAT I STOPPED EATING SUGAR PRODUCTS. I was so delighted that I wanted the whole world to know about it. I must have been unbearable in those days. I preached "the evils of sugar" everywhere I went. We are NOT told by "big business" that sugar is refined from sugar cane or sugar beets, much the same way that heroin is refined from poppies. It is SO CONCENTRATED that we can eat large amounts of it very quickly, and do a tremendous amount of damage to our bodies. (Ask your mechanic what would happen if you put sugar in the gas tank of your car.) WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!

Then one day my mom fainted and was diagnosed as having hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. I bought a book about it and read it before I gave it to her. It was astounding to me. I had almost every symptom of hypoglycemia myself. I craved sweets and junk food and was always tired, depressed, and irritable. I also had insomnia and low sex drive. It put everything together like a puzzle for me. I wanted to stand on the roof and shout to everyone who had ever known me, "I was sick! That's why I acted like I did!"

I quit the diet club and got into health food. I put on a lot of weight, however, so several years later, I joined a different diet club. Soon I lost my weight again and was hired to teach the class. Before long I was teaching five classes a week. I taught the typical diet club diet but, in addition, I made sure that everyone learned about sugar and hypoglycemia. By this time I also had the book, THE HIDDEN ADDICTION AND HOW TO GET FREE by Janice Keller Phelps, MD and Alan E. Nourse, MD, The book exposes sugar as the basic addictive substance, preceding all addictive substances. Other books that have been published since then are LICK THE SUGAR HABIT, and SUGAR BUSTERS. I would recommend both books to anyone who has an addiction to sugar. The Bible says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

At this time I had some minor surgery and was given antibiotics. I developed a yeast infection, a malady I had been plagued with many times in my earlier years. I became so fatigued that I wasn't even getting dressed. My cravings returned. Although I wouldn't eat sweets, I craved bread and other starches. Again I cried out to God to help me. He answered me through a program on a Christian television station called, "Calling Dr. Whitaker." The doctor told about yeast overgrowth in the body caused by the overuse of antibiotics, prolonged use of birth control pills, etc. Antibiotics strip the digestive system of all of the "good" bacteria along with the "bad" and can leave a fungal yeast infestation called "candida albicans." That infestation puts out toxins causing fatigue, cravings for sweets and starches, muscle and joint pains, and a host of other symptoms. A girl who had been in one of my classes was working at the local health food store. I called her and she brought me THE YEAST CONNECTION by William Crook, MD, She sent me to Arnold Rotermund, D. O. , a health-minded osteopath (now deceased) who had originally told her about the book. Dr. Rotermund soon had me feeling much better. I corresponded with Dr. Crook for several years. When he reprinted his book in paperback, he included a little section about me. He also gave me permission to reprint his yeast test in my autobiography. (Note: if you have candida, be sure to read the "Total Health--Help for Candida" section on this website. That section has a complete description of Nature's Biotics, the product that finally healed me from candida. Note that you may purchase Nature's Biotics directly from their website. E-mail me for their website address.

I thought that all of the ills in the world were caused by hypoglycemia and candida. I was still having trouble with my weight, however, as were most of the members of my classes. I taught over 500 people during a three-year span. Studies estimate that less then five percent of dieters keep their weight off permanently, and I certainly can believe that. New studies indicate that dieting is more harmful than obesity, and again, from my general observation, I can agree with those findings. I was especially unhappy with the weight-loss results of my classes. One day I shook my fist at God and said, "If You want me to teach weight- loss classes, then You are going to have to show me the secret to weight loss, because I don't have it and I can't take it anymore!"

God said, "You and others think you know so much, but you don't know anything at all!" It was a little embarrassing, I have to admit. But God had corrected me many times before, and I had learned not only to take it, but to grow from it.

Within two weeks God sent me a teacher. He was a nutritionist- biochemist from Tennessee. I studied with him a long time, and am continuing to learn from his books and tapes, along with the books of many health-minded authors across the country. My teacher is a Christian, and God has shown him answers to health and nutrition that would astound wise men. He has taught me that there is much more involved in being healthy than just not eating sugar and junk food, and knowing about hypoglycemia and candida. He said that my body (along with those of most Americans) was filled with salts, undigested protein, dead body cells, and toxins. My teacher recommends that everyone drink half of their weight in ounces of distilled (or Reverse Osmosis) water every day (much of it in the morning, but no more than one cup in an hour) to flush out these poisons. (He says that most overweight is water being held in the body by this foreign material.) He teaches that 80% of our energy comes from rest, (fresh) air, and sunshine. Fifteen percent comes from water, but only 5% from food. We try to get all of our energy from food. Most of our foods today, however, have no energy left in them. They are dead, over-preserved, and over-processed foods that stimulate us with ingredients such as sugar, salt, and caffeine. That stimulation "kicks" us into action, fooling us into thinking that we are getting energy from the food that we eat.

My teacher also has a "health bank account" concept as follows: When we are born we are (ideally) given l20 years of life. If we live fast and hard, taking drugs, smoking, or drinking alcohol, we will deplete our health bank account very rapidly. Other practices that destroy this health bank account are eating junk food (white sugar, white flour, and salt--the "Three White Deaths"), overeating, eating in the evening, eating indigestible food combinations, shallow breathing, not getting enough fresh air, sunshine, and relaxing exercise, and not getting enough rest and sleep. (We should always be in bed between l0:00 P.M. and 2:00 A.M. because that is when the body recharges the best.) We should avoid contact with toxic substances such as various chemicals found at home and at work. We should wash our fruits and vegetables to eliminate the pesticides and fertilizers used on them. We should shop only in the outside aisles of a grocery store, as that is where the refrigeration is. This means that we should buy things that spoil, but eat them before they do. Fresh food is best. Frozen is next.

My teacher (nutritionist) also found that a large burden on my body was my mouthful of silver mercury-amalgam fillings that I had had for nearly forty years. I read THE TOXIC TIME BOMB by Sam Ziff, and IT�S ALL IN YOUR HEAD by Hal Huggins, DDS, and S.A. Huggins, R. D. H. I learned that, not only had poisonous mercury leached from my fillings, it was being stored in my organs. In addition, the electrical current set up from the metal in my mouth was preventing my brain signals from getting through to tell the various parts of my body what to do. (Forty percent of all brain signals travel through the jaw.) Through these books I learned that approximately 20% of the diseases in this country today are the direct or indirect result of silver mercury- amalgam fillings. The American Dental Association denies this, but they are wrong, and will one day be forced into admitting the truth. As I frequently state, I have a magazine ad from the 1940's that says, "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette." The truth has emerged about smoking and will eventually do the same about health- damaging dental fillings (and, hopefully, the horrendous eating habits that we Americans have adopted). We must remember that we are constantly being fed lies by the advertising industry. Ads (and lies) are paid for by "big business" in an attempt to clean out our wallets and pocketbooks. It's time we started thinking on our own and not be taken in by everything that we see and hear through advertisements.

My teacher teaches a way of eating that has been known about for 200 years--back before today's diseases plagued our country. It really is a "natural foods" way of life. Besides the purified water, one eats only (washed) fruit (if anything) in the morning, as the time between 2:00 A.M. and noon is known as the "cleansing cycle." (Exceptions to this are those with hypoglycemia or candida, where sour fruits or fruit/vegetables are recommended.)

The "digestion cycle" starts at noon and continues until 8:00 P.M. when the "absorption cycle" begins (continuing until 2:00 A.M.) For lunch, protein and non-starchy vegetables are eaten. For the evening meal, starchy vegetables, grains, or legumes are eaten along with non-starchy vegetables. (Again, for those with hypoglycemia or candida, the program differs somewhat, in that the starch meal should be skipped and protein meal repeated.) No food is to be eaten after 6:00 P.M. except possibly fruit, if the stomach is completely empty (and the person does not have hypoglycemia or candida). Fruit is always to be eaten alone on an empty stomach, as it will ferment other foods that are in the stomach with it, causing indigestion and, ultimately, weight gain. A similar program is found in the book FIT FOR LIFE by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, although they teach vegetarianism and my nutritionist does not (nor do I, except for people with type "A" blood). From the wonderful book, EAT 4 YOUR BLOOD TYPE by Dr. D'Adamo (worth your time to read) I learned that for optimum health, people with type "O" blood (ME) should be meat- eaters. A website that you can visit regarding this topic is www.4blood.com. This is great information that I highly recommend. I knew the first time that I read the type "O" "no-no" list that it was TRUTH. Eating those offending foods caused me gastronomical distress.

With this simple way of eating, health and energy can be restored (or preserved). I must note, however, that a person following this program may sometimes feel worse before he feels better, because the body often begins cleansing itself through colds, infections, and the flu. Then, too, when one stops using caffeine, sugar, and salt products, his energy level drops because he is no longer being stimulated (or "kicked") by these substances.

I continued doing everything I could to improve my health. After I had my mercury fillings changed to non-metal, I went to a chiropractor who gave me a cranial adjustment and worked on my reflex points to help my organs work as they should. I also took Chinese herbs for several months to cleanse the heavy metal (mercury, lead, aluminum, etc.) from my body. In addition, my chiropractor and my nutritionist had me take raw glandulars to improve the function of various glands and organs--the adrenals, the pancreas, and the thymus. I have taken raw glandulars (from a health food store) through the years, and continue taking them today.

Let me note here that most hypoglycemia is caused by weak adrenal glands. I just wrote about nicotine, caffeine, and sugar products "kicking" a person's adrenal glands into action. That is why people "think" that they feel better when they use these substances. (Later on they wouldn't even "kick" me any more.) The problem is that there is a "Pay Day" one day-- when the adrenal glands run out.

So how do people re-build their adrenal glands? First of all, a person needs to ELIMINATE STRESS as much as possible. The number one solution is REST, REST AND MORE REST! Supplements to build up the adrenal glands are Vitamin C, and raw adrenal tablets. I take 2000 units of Vitamin C a day and four raw adrenal tablets a day and probably will have to do that for the rest of my life. Another supplement for the adrenals is panothenic acid. It is also very important for the adrenals that a person DRINK LOTS OF PURE WATER. Speaking of water, when I have had panic attacks, and fainting spells it was mostly the result of being dehydrated and having consumed sugar products.

Along with the adrenal glands, another gland that often needs attention is the THYROID GLAND. If your ancestors had low thyroid there is a great possiblity that you do, too. There is another great book called, HOPE FOR HYPOGLYCEMIA by Broda Barnes, M.D. He contends that all of the symptoms for hypoglycemia and low thyroid are the same, and if a person takes thyroid supplementation, the hypoglycemia and the low thyroid symptoms will all clear up. The problem is finding a doctor today who will prescribe thyroid supplementation. You have to be nearly dead. The blood tests have been very inaccurate. Note that Dr. Barnes says to check if you have low thyroid by putting a thermometer beside your bed, and in the morning BEFORE getting up, take your temperature under your arm. Any reading under 97.3 needs thyroid supplementation. If you cannot find a doctor who will prescribe thyroid for you, go to a health food store and get kelp, iodine, or what I take--Thyrostim, from the Biotics Company. (I have the Biotics number for your health food store if they don't have the Thyrostim.)

Other supplements that I take are multiple vitamins with minerals (two a day, only from a health food store), and MSM (organic sulfur). For osteoarthritis (now controlled) I take Glucosamine Sulfate. For carpal tunnel I take B6. For quick energy I take B12--sublingual-- dissolve them UNDER your tongue. For brain function I take one Ginkgo Biloba daily. For blood sugar balance I take two chromium tablets a day. The clerks at the health food store can help you. I also have a list of health-minded doctors in the United States. If you would like the name of one in your area, e-mail me with your town and state.

Another book that has helped me tremendously is PROTEIN POWER by the Doctors Eades. The revised edition, THE PROTEIN POWER LIFEPLAN is best (with audio book available), but the older edition is cheaper and still very good. The book tells us to eat only 30 carbohydrate grams a day for optimum energy. Carbohydrates are what cause our fatigue as they cause the body to flood with insulin from the pancreas. It is the adrenal glands' job to stop the insulin but when they are exhausted, they are unable to do it. This is why a person feels better in the morning when the adrenal glands are rested.

I developed a teaching concept with a stuffed camel, flat on its stomach with many of bundles of straw on its back. On the camel's body are the words "YOUR HEALTH." On the many bundles of straw are words that indicate the destructive lifestyle practices that break down a person's health---the proverbial "straws that broke the camel's back." (The basic idea came from Dr. Crook's book, THE YEAST CONNECTION.)

The DESTRUCTIVE LIFESTYLE PRACTICES named on the bundles of straw are: hypoglycemia, eating sugar and junk food; candida; overuse of antibiotics; low thyroid; lack of exercise (Jumping on the mini-tramp is wonderful as it cleans out the lymph glands. Mini-tramps run around $25.); poor drinking water (Distilled and reverse osmosis are best. This is very important. Drink 7 to 8 glasses a day. I repeat, when I do NOT drink enough water I HAVE PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACKS AND FAINTING SPELLS); not deep-breathing; mercury fillings; parasites (65% of us have them. They can come from pets, impure drinking water, and unwashed fruits and vegetables. Read the book, GUESS WHAT CAME TO DINNER by Gittleman. See the "Parasite Section" in "Self-check Tests" on this website.); a colon that does not function properly (Constipation is a sign. The colon backs up and the poisons and toxins are reabsorbed into the body. It is called "Auto-intoxication". Think about what your toilet would look like if you did not flush it for a day, five days, a year, five years, an entire life? That is what the inside of the body looks like when it is not flushed out with water and occasional colon cleansers); not enough rest and sleep (I spend about 10 to 12 hours a night in bed, sleeping, relaxing, reading, watching TV.); stress (this is a biggie in today's society); preservatives and additives in our foods; drugs, both prescription and illegal (there is no such thing as a safe drug); alcohol; and smoking. (My teacher says that if a person smokes it makes no difference what he eats as the nicotine is already doing so much destruction to the body.)

As we eliminate the bundles of straw, the camel (our health) is able to get back up on its feet.

Gradually my health improved until I felt better than I had ever felt in my life. The first month on distilled water and following this new way of eating, I lost twelve pounds. I stopped dieting and concentrated on eating and living healthfully. I am a little chubby, but I really don't care. It feels so great to feel great! Being alive has changed from being an effort to being a joy. I studied other subjects with my teacher, such as the various diseases, their causes, and prevention. I often thought, "This information has got to get into the hands of the people." During this time, God said to me, "Tighten thy teeth with knowledge. See all this, then loosen thy tongue and declare it." He also brought the following Scriptures to my mind: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." "If ye love Me, feed My sheep." "Set My people free."

I had had a twenty-year ministry to churches, schools, etc. with my ventriloquist puppets, music, and Gospel magic. (See various photos in later pages of this website.) However, as I added health and nutrition to my programs, I lost my popularity. Churches will listen to messages about drugs, alcohol, and nicotine, but when I added sugar and caffeine to the list, it's as if I'd "quit preachin' and gone to meddlin'." I'd had some experience with local television through the years. I had televised six specials and three talk shows. One day in l989, God said to me, "Barbara, is it not time you also taught?" He told me that He was going to "sift me like sand in the wind and spread me near and far." That is when I wrote my book. (Maybe God also meant that He would spread me near and far by the internet. What do you think?)

At first I told God that He must have picked the wrong person because there were many much smarter, more capable, younger, and better looking than I am. He replied that He didn't want tinkling bells nor peacocks, but rather servants. So I said, "Here am I, Lord, send me!" And here I am, my friend, being sent to you.

May God speak to you as you will hopefully read this story over for ideas for yourself.

I promise you that if you will faithfully apply these health principles to your own life, you will be convinced that what I teach is truly from the One Who created us. It is God's health message to us all! More important than the health message is God's personal call to each of us. He made us and He wants to have a personal relationship with us. God (Jesus) is a gentleman, however, and will not go anywhere that He is not invited. Let me encourage you to ask Him into your life. Do what I did 38 years ago. Kneel down and tell Him that you believe that Jesus is God's Son, who came to earth and died on the cross to pay for our sins. Then tell Him your sins, and that you are sorry for them. Ask Him to come into your life and be your Savior. I guarantee you that your life will never be the same! (If you pray this prayer, e-mail me and I will tell you what to do next.)

I would love to discuss anything in this "Condensed Version" with you. I will welcome your questions and comments via e-mail. When I said "Yes" to God 38 years ago, He turned my upside-down world right-side-up and I will praise, thank, and serve Him forever. Believe me, I REALLY DO HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU! ______________________________________________________ IMPORTANT UPDATE: June 17, 2004:

SPLENDA/SUCRALOSE WARNING:

I had been eating the Atkin's "Advantage" bars for a long time (but only several a week). The label says that they are sweetened with sucralose, which is the other name for "Splenda". Last fall when my husband was on a hunting trip (and I wanted a break from cooking) I drank a lot of canned Atkin's shakes, and they contain tons of sucralose. At the end of the week, one evening, I had unbelievable wretching/vomiting for five hours straight. I could not even get off of the floor. The next day I went on the internet and did a search for Splenda and sucralose and found that I was not alone. Go to www.mercola.com and type in "Splenda" or "sucralose" on Dr. Mercola's search engine. There are around 30 testimonies about it telling of all the adverse reactions that people are having from using it. Among the many symptoms were "wretching/vomiting". At that time I totally quit using anything with Splenda or sucralose in it. Note: While you are on Dr. Mercola's website, type in "Nutrasweet" or "aspartame" (the Diet Coke sweetner) and read about what a poisonous substance THAT is. It has caused blindness and even death.

Three weeks ago (my husband was on a fishing trip this time) I bought some "Lo-carb banana muffins" at the health food store. I didn't check the label, but trusted the "health" food store. I ate one muffin that afternoon and one more in the morning. What happened to me was unbelievable. My left hip joint and the surrounding muscles became so extremely sore that I had to walk as if I were crippled. Lying on my left side caused excruciating pain. At the time I thought that I had developed a combination of osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia (but OVERNIGHT?). I even bought a book called "The Arthritis Cure". I also went on a total cleansing diet which soon eliminated the symptoms. I prayed for understanding. Finally (after a week) I tracked down what had happened to me. The label on the muffin package said that they contained "sucralose". I printed out and re-read the testimonies on Dr. Mercola's site and was amazed to see that others had experienced these same symptoms, plus many others, including depression and panic attacks.

Unfortunately, with the "Low-Carb Craze", Splenda and sucralose are in everything now. I saw regular Pepsi at WalMart yesterday with a sign that said: "1/2 the sugar". I looked at the label and sure enough, it said: "sucralose".

The problem is that people won't believe it unless they have experienced it themselves. When I tell people about it, they say that sucralose doesn't bother them, that I must have an allergy to it or a sensitive body. Well, believe me, it affects EVERYONE, whether they believe it or not! The whole world is looking for cures for cancer, arthritis, MS, MD, and all those terrible diseases. Do they want to check out the chemical poisons in our food supply? Oh, no! Of course not! Big business is too worried about the almighty dollar! Lord, have mercy on us all!
