When you're diagnosed with arthritis, diabetes or asthma, or when you're struggling with weight control, premenstrual tension, insomnia, ADHD or back ache, it's likely that your medical professional will get the prescription pad out. It's unlikely that the solution offered by your doctor will be a food intolerance test and a personalized eating plan coupled with a health program to guide you through how to detoxify, exercise and choose supplements. This solution also applies to Bowel Cancer.
Everybody knows there's a connection between food and health - it's a topic that's been under discussion for over a decade. But people aren't told the full story by their doctors and therefore are missing out on an opportunity to heal or improve their health. Food intolerance is hugely under-diagnosed and is silently reaching epidemic proportions. Left undetected, these intolerances can trigger worsening health problems like bowel cancer.
I, myself, have had first hand experience of how food can heal. It's what prompted me to start educating people about the link between health and food in the first place. At the age of 37 I was diagnosed with arthritis. Although my blood tests and x-rays did not indicate arthritis, I was given the medication for the pain anyway. I discovered I was intolerant to a lot of foods after visiting a nutritionist. Within 12 weeks of curing my intolerances, I was pain-free and medication-free and have remained so for 3 years now.
I then set to work on my young 2 year old son. He had been suffering from asthma since the age of 8 months. Doctors even said he was too young for asthma but gave him the medication anyway. It turned out to be caused by intolerance to many fruits. He is now symptom-free. We found the cause of the symptoms of asthma, rather than masking them with medication and then we no longer needed that medication.
The same thing applies to Bowel Cancer which can be prevented if you are in the high risk category and even cured if caught in time, by changing your diet, eating cancer-fighting foods, curing your intolerances and making some other lifestyle changes.
Why don't doctors talk about food intolerances and health? Possibly because doctors don't spend a lot of time studying nutrition - it's just a small part of their training. Possibly because the pharmaceutical companies pay for many medical courses and big advertising campaigns telling us they can help our arthritis. Or is it because there's no profit in curing ourselves with food? Or maybe it's because of the lack of funding for research into the benefits of food in relation to disease.
The day that broccoli can be patented by the pharmaceutical companies, is the day that nutritional medicine will suddenly come into the public domain - but why wait?
Now it is my mission to get the information out to as many people as possible and I've teamed up with Nutritionist, Chris Clark, to do exactly that. It's not coincidence that food intolerance rates are rising massively alongside soaring cancer, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and asthma rates.
Over 70% of us have or will suffer from a food intolerance at some point but most of us don't know it because the symptoms are so varied and can be delayed. There are other factors which contribute to these illnesses but when we talk to people about food and health, we discuss lifestyle changes too.
Together we want to teach everyone that chronic illness and also niggling symptoms like migraines, insomnia, anxiety, PMS, back ache, sinusitis, eczema and so on could all be due to an undetected food intolerance.
Unlike food allergies, it can be cured if approached correctly. You need to test for it first to be able to cure it, but it's not a life long condition. If you'd like to know more about the links between food intolerance and illness or how to test for it and cure it, read on...
