At age 20, Paul Nison was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (also known as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), a deadly affliction. His search for a cure began with medical doctors, but they didn't have the answers he needed. After trying almost every so-called cure to overcome his pain and suffering, Paul finally discovered the benefits of eating more simply. He started by getting rid of foods that were no good for him. Simplifying his
... Show More diet was the first step in his cure.
"I was eating so much unhealthful food but didn't care because I felt great. When I got very sick, I finally realized health doesn't start with what we add to our diet, but with what we leave out."
Paul started to eliminate all unhealthful foods. The healthful foods he was left with were raw, ripe, fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
After turning to a simpler diet known as the raw food diet, consisting of just that, raw foods, Paul became amazed at how quickly his health returned. He was even more amazed because doctors had told him raw foods would not help his condition. In fact, they warned him against it by saying that a diet of raw fruits and vegetables would be harmful to anyone with inflammatory bowel disease.
This led Paul to simplify all areas of his life. With his new understanding of "less is more," Paul left his office job in the financial industry on Wall Street in New York City, wrote some books about health, and started traveling, giving lectures about health and living simply.
Paul didn't know it at the time, but his return to health and a simpler lifestyle was just the beginning of a path that would bring him to question the connection between today's fast-paced urban lifestyle and the sadly diseased state in which so many people find themselves. "The more I started to realize what was really going on, the more I would see most people moving around like robots, barely surviving, while I was thriving."
This led Paul to continue to search for an answer. He realized that people are being controlled by the world. Most of the people in control do not have the best interests of the people they are controlling at heart. As Paul continued to study, he was led to read the Bible. When he saw that it clearly said we should not be controlled by the people of the world, but by the Master Creator, Father Yahweh, everything made perfect sense. As definitive confirmation that our Creator and not the world had all the answers, Paul found Genesis 1:29: "See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, in which there is life, every green plant is for food."
"Discovering healthful eating was a big step for me, but finally building a personal relationship with our Creator was the biggest. My life has definitely changed. It is better than it ever was."
Paul's life is now dedicated to studying and living according to the Scriptures and to developing his relationship with the Most High. It is Paul's prayer to help as many people as possible see the amazing health message of the Scriptures and to help them get to know and understand their Creator. According to Paul, the Scriptures comprise the greatest book on health ever written.
To convey his message, Paul will travel wherever he must. He spends much of his time on the road. Paul explains that the hectic life on the road working many hours is only possible with the help of our Creator.
"There is so much to get done, but each second I spend working on this is a joy because I know it's not for me; it is for our Creator, and it is helping people."
