If you are having aches and pains, dizziness, digestion issues, balance issues, sleeplessness, or other inconvenient symptoms you will probably visit with your doctor to “diagnose” the problems. And they will do their best to make a decision and then prescribe one of the many drugs available to “fix” the problem. And the diagnosis can land in a myriad of categories: stress, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, lupus, MS, ADD/ADHD, adult onset diabetes, and more. But millions of Americans are finding that they are not “fixed” with the drugs. They usually come up with yet another problem.
If you are one of the many Americans who are suffering but not getting relief there are three probable causes:
1. The medications are creating a worse symptom than the original problem ( this is fairly often)
2. You have been mis-diagnosed.
3. The tests that have been taken are flawed.
The latter happens frequently. And for my friend Sharon, she was mis-diagnosed for YEARS. She was given the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, tumors on her spine, neuropathy due to poor circulation, Lupus, and more.
What did she have all along? After multiple tests, the doctors were inconclusive. But what she discovered through the nagging suggestion of another friend was to get yet another test, which the doctors do not endorse. She had to “demand” this test. And discovered that the initial, most common test for LYMES Disease, OFTEN misses the mark. If you have the above symptoms and are lost in your medical notes and appointments, consider the Western Blot test, for diagnosis. And get the results in WRITING. Then take them to a Lyme specialist. The sooner you are diagnosed, the better your chance for healing.

The headline reads: Autism and Diet: Many Questions to Digest. And the fact that this is published in the very controlled contents of the Washington Post is a breakthrough for many people looking for the truth behind the rising statistics of diseases in America. It may not be the actual food, but how the food is processed that holds the key. Breaking the Vicious Cycle introduces us to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) which helps us to heal the intestinal tract and rid it of bacterial and fungal overgrowth. Recent research indicates that it is proving to be a successful dietary intervention in treating autistic children, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders.
Food is a constant part of our lives…almost hourly for some people. And with the massive amounts of processed food choices in America, one HAS to look at this as part of the problem/solution. The study linking vaccinations to Autism has now been “retracted” partly because it caused so many parents to skip vaccinating their children. Unfortunately, there is no mention on whether the statistics of Autism actually changed during this period of reduced vaccinations.
I have a few simple questions: how long has Autism been a part of the health problem? (same goes for MS, Lupus, and all kinds of other disease which are all on the RISE). Autism went from 1 in 250 children to now 1 in 110 in America. What else is on the rise? Processed foods. Vaccinations. Environmental toxins. Sedentary lifestyles. Being indoors. Technology running our lives. Hmmm….many questions to digest for sure!

As many people embark on the Journey of January…to get healthy…diet fads will take front stage on advertising spots. Too bad.
