In early 2014, I was at the end of my rope.  Diagnosed with interstitial cystitis in 1980, irritable bowel syndrome in 1991, endometriosis in 1993, and finally fibromyalgia in 2005, the constant pain and subsequent pharmaceuticals prescribed to me over the years had destroyed my life and all but suffocated any joy I could still muster up.  My days were filled with pain and exhaustion, while my nights were agonizing and sleepless.  I endured several pelvic surgeries over the years and I had been prescribed dozens of medications.  Whatever new and amazing drugs big pharma could dream up to treat each of my diagnosed diseases were tried.  Dozens of courses of antibiotics, muscle relaxers and specialty drugs allowed me to function during the day, while sleeping pills and anti-depressants gave me what fitful slumber I could snatch at night.  But it wasn’t until I entered into a pain contract with a respected pain management physician in Seattle that I finally gave up the Ibuprofen and wine that had, up until then, kept me functional despite the pain.  My new doctor was aghast when I told him that I controlled my pain with 1,800 mg per day of Ibuprofen, followed up with a bottle of wine after work most days.  The realization that this combination could eventually kill me was why I was convinced, at that point, that opioids were my next best option.

All this changed in 2014 when I was introduced to Double Helix Water.  Even though I highly doubted that this tiny bottle of structured water molecules would do anything to ease my suffering, I decided to give it a try.  I had tried everything else my doctors could think of, including acupuncture, that proved to be more painful than the diseases themselves, and craniosacral therapy that did bring me some level of relief, albeit temporary.  In 2013, at my naturopath’s suggestion, I was even tested for food allergies.  As it turned out I was allergic to everything I was eating, which at that point wasn’t much, so another diagnosis was added to the growing list of auto-immune diseases that were destroying my body and my life—leaky gut syndrome.

So I accepted the little bottle of Double Helix Water given to me in February 2014, and with an open mind began my journey back from hell to health.  Two years of drinking Double Helix Water later, and I am feeling better than I have since I was 15 years old.  At this point, all of my diagnosed diseases have faded and I am experiencing more energy than I’ve known in 40 years, blissful sleep, and a reduction in pain of about 95% most days.  I’ve been able to wean myself off of most of the drugs I had come to depend on, even the opioids, and the approximately $1,500 per month spent on pharmaceuticals for over 15 years has fallen to less than $50 per month in just two years.   In addition, after a short nine months of Double Helix Water consumption, my very nearsighted eyes—legally blind since I was a young child—changed from a visual acuity of between 20/300 and 20/400, to 20/50 and 20/100.  My optometrist has told me that the changes in my vision are physically impossible, yet even he admits that it has happened.  I have even caught myself, on several occasions, driving to town without glasses at all, which I could have never considered just nine short months earlier.
