Hi John
I have a question for you today.
Do you know anyone (maybe even yourself) who has any of these conditions?
- High blood pressure
- Overweight/obesity
- Arthritis
- Autoimmune condition (Crohn's, colitis,
psoriasis, MS, Graves' disease, etc.)
- Elevated cholesterol
- Anxiety and/or depression
- Acid reflux/GERD/heartburn
- Stroke
- Cancer
- Diabetes
And chances are also excellent that the same person has two or more of those!
Now I have another question for you...
What's going on?
Why are we so sick? At first glance, it doesn't seem to make any sense.
After all, we're living in an age where advances in surgical techniques are being made each day. Many procedures are far more sophisticated, less invasive and have shorter recuperation times.
Our testing and disease detection methods are top-notch! Diseases like cancer are being caught and treated earlier and earlier.
And no matter what your problem, the pharmaceutical industry has a pill for it.
So, what's going on here? Why are we so sick?
I'll tell you why.
Because our impressive modern "health" system focuses on anything BUT health.
Its main focus is on the treatment of SICKNESS AND DISEASE...and it frequently falls flat on its face when it comes to any creating any measure of HEALTH.
They're two entirely different things, my friend.
What does health look like?
Health is NOT the absence of a condition, disease or symptoms.
Instead health is a state of balance where your body is working like it's supposed to!
When your organs and systems are all working like they're designed to, aside from maybe an occasional cold or bug, you typically don’t get sick!
When you're truly healthy, you don't need to sleep propped up on pillows, suffer with chronic pain or are so bloated you look like you swallowed a basketball.
Instead you sleep like a baby, rarely have aches and pains and can always easily button your pants!
Health means that you don't have excess weight issues, you don’t regularly take OTC or prescription drugs and it hasn’t been days or weeks since you had a good BM.
Instead you easily maintain a normal bodyweight, have regular BMs and quite likely don't take any medications.
When you have health, you don't feel fatigued or need to gulp coffee or 5-hour energy drinks just to get through your day.
Instead your energy level is high and consistent.
And if you do get an occasional cold, virus or infection, you bounce back quickly and feel great again in
If that sounds good to you, then let's look at what's making us so sick, and more importantly, what you can do to turn that around and instead CREATE HEALTH for you.
They're all around us
Things that make us sick are all around us:
- Toxins and pollutants in our environment
- Chemicals in our drinking water
- Lack of exercise
- New breeds of bacteria that are increasingly
resistant to antibiotics
- Stress
- Cigarette smoke
- Prescription and OTC drugs (yes, although
they are supposed to "help" you, they can also CAUSE many
sicknesses and symptoms!)
Read on and you'll see why.
You've come a long way, baby...NOT!
Despite the tremendous volumes of information currently out there about healthy eating, including cookbooks by celebrities, MyPlate, "Eat your 5 a day" and more, putting it bluntly, we still eat like crap.
Let's take a closer look at what's on our plates:
1 - Flour and cereal products (most of which are highly refined, lacking nutrients and basically break down to sugar in your body) comprise 23% (nearly 1/4th) of our total calories each day.
Refined carbs can raise blood sugar levels, encourage the development of Type 2 diabetes, add excess weight and lead to a state of inflammation and pain throughout your body.
2 - We eat 17% of our daily calories from table sugar and high fructose corn syrup. That's a whopping 22 teaspoons of sugar to the tune of 496 calories every single day!
This causes a state of acidity in your body, so it has to use up its own alkaline minerals just to buffer the acid. This is the perfect recipe for deficiency diseases including osteoporosis.
And of course, the sugar also packs the pounds on your backside.
3- 24% of our calories come from fats and oils which have been highly processed and stripped of their naturally occurring antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
These harmful fats especially include trans-fats. Your body can't metabolize these Franken-fats and instead must attack them like a toxin. They clog your blood vessels, turn them into French fries and make you a perfect candidate for heart disease, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol.
Plus you're lacking the crucial protection of antioxidants and vitamins against cancers and other diseases.
4- We routinely eat foods that are hard to digest (including processed food, fast food and huge restaurant meals).
Poor digestion not only leads to acid reflux, constipation, gas and bloating, but can also cause harmful gut bacteria overgrowth (dysbiosis) which can weaken your immune system and encourage the development of food sensitivities.
And on the flip side:
5- We eat only a measly 5% of our daily calories from fruits and vegetables. Less than one person in every four eats the recommended 5 servings a day.
6- The average American eats only a meager 15 ounces (less than a pound) of nuts each year, and those are mainly toppings on sugary pastries and ice cream sundaes.
Nuts are a great sources of healthy oils and have been shown in study after study to support heart and brain health, among other things.
Is it any wonder?
So, my friend, is it any wonder we're sick and overweight?
Plus to make the situation even WORSE, the typical medical community is not educated in the effects of diet on health.
Most doctors take just one basic course in nutrition in medical school.
And considering how diet can profoundly affect your health like I mentioned above, the fact that most health professionals are basically clueless about diet is very sad (and scary) indeed.
Take the bull by the horns
Although you can't change many of the factors that contribute to our poor states of health, what you CAN do is take the bull by the horns...
And take charge of helping to create health in YOU.
Here are the two biggest, most significant steps you can take toward saying goodbye to a sickly, diseased, medicated, overweight existence:
1) Eat your way to better health
There's no getting around it. If you want to say goodbye to a lifetime of sickness, you MUST eat for health.
Now don't you dare think I'm talking about existing on celery and water!
Not at all--I'm talking about real, good-for-you foods that not only taste delicious and are LOADED with nutrients, but are easy to prepare and much easier for your system to digest.
I will show you all you need to know in the Great Taste No Pain health system
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
or if you have gluten challenges, Great Taste No Gluten.
- http://www.greattastenogluten.com/great.asp
Both systems give you easy to understand manuals that show you why eating real foods and having good digestion is SO important to your health, and teach you the simple principles you need to know to help create meals that are much easier for your system to break down (otherwise known as food combining).
And with each system you'll also get a recipe book filled with tasty dishes featuring real, nutritious foods that will soon become hits with the entire family!
2) Bring your gut back into balance
The Standard American Diet is murder on your friendly gut flora.
And since that's where at least 70% of your immune system resides, the protection of your little intestinal inhabitants is not something you don’t want to be without!
Not only does your immune system help fight infections and viruses, but it also protects you against cancer!
Eating real foods like I mentioned above can certainly help rebuild your flora, but for many people, that's not enough...especially if you've had anything resembling a typical diet, have taken medications for a long time or are under chronic stress.
That's why a multi-strain probiotic supplement like Super Shield can be so beneficial for so many people.
- http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/pross.asp
Super Shield's 13 strains of friendly flora each have their own unique "specialty" in terms of how they can help enhance your health. More strains means more ways they can help protect you against sickness.
And Super Shield contains both strains of Lactobacillus bacteria (which live in your small intestine) and Bifidobacteria strains (which reside in your large intestine or colon), so this important stretch of your immune system is well covered!
Just remember to let your doctor know about the supplements you are taking.
Sad as it is to say, our current state of "health" is NOT health at all!
It's "disease control" at best!
But you now have an advantage.
Because you are now armed with the information you need to help break the cycle of sickness and disease.
And instead help create true, lasting health from within.
Start now.
You'll never regret it.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
Having being diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, and having suffered with gas, bloating, acid reflux, terrible heartburn, etc. I felt like a caged animal with no escape. The specialist prescribed Nexium 40mg.
I was devastated because I do not like taking drugs, and prefer everything the natural way. I felt terrible and hopeless, so I began researching natural cures for this on the internet.
I have to admit I was skeptical as to how food combining was going to sort this mess out, but I was so desperate that I decided to try your Great Taste No Pain eating plan.
When I started your program, I came off Nexium immediately to see if eating correctly would make a difference. My surprise, all I can say is wow. I am so fascinated and cannot believe that eating right has removed the heartburn and discomfort from day one.
My stomach not bloating makes me feel great because my clothes fit nicely again. I have more energy and feel lighter. I still sleep elevated for now, but I no longer awake in the morning with that terrible burning sensation. Soon, I will try sleeping flat again.
All I can say is that it's a miracle. You have given me a new lease on life. I am so thankful that I found your web site. I am now able to fight this the natural way by watching my food combining, thanks to you. I am drawing up a menu using your principles and will continue eating this way.
You are very helpful by stating by examples what can and cannot be eaten together. Your recipes also give guidance and makes life easier. The practicality of your information helps a lot.
Thank you so much.
