I was so weak I went to a physical therapist, she showed me ways to get out of bed and get off the toilet on my own. Thank you Sharon and David for your help and encouragement. Diet has a huge bearing on getting better, I was super strict, follow Sharon and David’s recommendations. Thank you Sharon and David for all your help, your diet recommendations are invaluable, without them I wouldn’t have gotten this far in a year. I will continue the diet as I don’t want it reactivating…Now the damage of the VF in my Tibia is healing and my nodules are shrinking… My hair is filling in also. Now a year later I am almost back to normal. Sharon and David’s diet is critical when VF is active. I was on 800mg of Fluconazole for almost a year.

I just want to express my gratitude to Sharon and Dave. I am still following their wellness plan and have experienced improved quality of life ever since. I still have my daily struggles, but they have reduced in severity and frequency. I finally arrived at a place where I could follow Sharon’s advice and I gave up ALL forms of sugar. [Refined sugar is problematic for many health reasons and were counterproductive to her specific health goals.] I am still working on the rest of her advice in my wellness plan, but it made a RADICAL difference in improving my fatigue.

I follow the diet… Anti-inflammatory and immune boosting. …I do feel that it helps with my energy level and I feel like I sleep better. Cocci causes inflammation already, so eating to try to avoid adding to it helps.

I’m so glad I found this group. If doctors barely even know what valley fever is chances are they have no clue how diet plays a role in this. I thought I was eating healthy before I found Sharon and David but so I realized my green shakes which consisted of bananas and apples and veggies were probably making me feel worse. I cut out fruit and all sugars and feel 100 times better. Not a coincidence! It’s one thing to “listen to your doctor” but if you want to try your hardest and have the highest possible chances of beating this disease I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t at least try. [Referencing our VF Diet Plan to build the immune system]

…that diet made a huge difference in my son’s recovery from the symptoms of valley fever. He is back to leading a normal life. Not to mention the health of the entire family has benefited from it.

I went off Fluc at 1:2 and mine jumped up to 1:8 in less than a month and I had to go back on. But, with the diet and suggestions of the amazing Sharon Filip, I tested <1:2 this month!

Thanks to Valley Fever Survivor’s information and blog, I have slayed the titer dragon for now and will remain vigilant for the rest of my life. I believe my diet prescription was a huge factor in my recovery….from feeling like I was dying to my new life as a VF survivor off antifungals. Thank you David and Sharon for your dedication to the entire VF community worldwide.
