Self-Healing Through Nature: Reversing Vitamin B12 and D Deficiency via Fasting, Raw Foods, Enema, Juices, Sunbathing, and Earthing

Abstract

In this personal case study, I share my journey of reversing Vitamin B12 and D deficiencies without pharmaceutical supplements. By adopting a fully raw plant-based lifestyle, regular colon cleansing through enemas, daily fresh juices, sun exposure, and barefoot connection to the earth (earthing), I observed significant improvement in my energy levels, gut health, and blood test reports. This research aims to provide insight into how nature-based practices can support the body\'s natural ability to heal and regulate essential nutrients.

Introduction

Modern lifestyles and processed foods have caused widespread Vitamin B12 and D deficiencies, usually treated with supplements. Instead, the author chose a natural healing approach focused on gut health, sunlight exposure, and a raw vegan lifestyle over 90 days, avoiding animal products and pills.

Methodology included:

• A 100% raw vegan diet with fruits, leafy greens, and daily green juices.

• Colon cleansing with warm water enemas multiple times a day.

• Daily sunbathing (30-45 minutes) for natural Vitamin D synthesis.

• Earthing by walking barefoot on natural surfaces to improve well-being.

• Aligning with natural sleep rhythms and digital detoxes.

• Fasting each morning before breaking the fast with green juice.

Results:
Significant increases in Vitamin B12 (from 190 to 320 pg/mL) and Vitamin D (from 14 to 32 ng/mL) without supplements, along with improved energy, digestion, and mental clarity.

Discussion:

• The improvement in B12 challenges the idea it only comes from animal sources, suggesting gut detoxification and a healthy microbiome may aid B12 production or absorption.

• Vitamin D levels rose due to regular sun exposure and possibly magnesium-rich raw foods.

• Juices and raw foods energized the body and aided detoxification.

• Earthing supported better sleep, reduced inflammation, and emotional balance.

• Fasting helped optimize the body’s healing processes.

Conclusion

This self-study reflects the body\'s ability to heal when returned to a natural state of living. Through raw foods, colon cleansing, natural sunlight, fasting and connection to nature, I reversed my B12 and D deficiencies and experienced holistic well-being. Nature provided everything I needed, reminding me that simplicity is powerful. More in-depth research can help validate these experiences on a broader scale.
