new member - need special holistic diet...

Posted December 22, 2002 · December 22, 2002

Hi

New member here. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a resource or tell me a good herbal, healthy high protein-low carbohydrate diet. You see I am hypoglycemic and have fibromyalgia, migraines, and I am about 80 pounds overweight. I need to lose some of this weight so I can move a little better than I do now (also have 2 herniated discs in my back).

Can anyone help me?

If one is not addressing the "cause" of a disease when using herbs or an herbal program, then one is using these herbs the same way a Medico uses pharmaceuticals and is only addressing "symptoms".

Such labels are tremendously misleading as they describe a symptom and as such lead us down the garden path of trying to handle said symptom rather than searching for a "CAUSE" of an overall condition that may (and usually does) have many different symptoms. Just because the symptom is real does not mean the label is. Get the idea??? With such labels there is NO chance of leading to a permanent resolution of the problem as one is then stuck with trying to handle the symptom and never address the cause. Not only do almost all Psychiatric "disorders" fall into this category, but most medical diseases of a chronic nature also fit into this kind of misnomer phenomenon including fibromyalgia. > >If you were to trace back the above symptoms with these fancy Psychiatric and Medico labels from the viewpoint of looking for a "cause", you would find that a better label would be "Bio-chemical Toxicity" or "Mental Toxicity". Boy, now we have a couple of labels we can do something with, for such labels indicate what the "cause" of the problem is. Of course there is no money in such labels, for they put the onus of responsibility back on the individual to get himself detoxified LOL, and doesn't put a dime into the hands of the Medicos or the Psychs. ) > >Just as one can have a toxic body due to pesticide, steroid, irradiated, GE, and hormone laden foods, one can also be in a toxic relationship with a boss at work, or a supposed "loved" one, and who are very busy doing us in. All of these factors can play a part in bringing on disease. As an example: I have a friend whose husband had been doing her in for years, and you supposedly could have labelled her as having "explosive syndrome". No drug, herb, or even nutritional approach came close to handling this condition until one day she had the realization her husband was actively, suppressively, killing her. She got tough with herself, and then divorced the asshole, and hasn't had a "mental" problem since. She turned into the sweetest, highest toned gal you could possibly imagine. > >The cure for the common cold is NOT Echinacea and Garlic, although these will handle the symptoms to some degree by themselves. The cure for the common cold is Echinacea, Garlic, a complete Body Cleanse of all organs, and a thorough confronting and handling of "Losses" brought about by being connected to "Toxic" people who have been overtly or covertly doing us in. If you do this, you'll never get a cold again regardless of how many mud puddles you go jumping into. > >The same goes for these "psych" labelled problems. The first place to look is toxic relationships and the stress these add to our lives. The second thing to address is toxicity in the body, and how we can use a nutritional and herbal program to cleanse and detoxify this piece of meat we carry around. That's it. That's all of it. > >80% of all my patients forget what was wrong with them in the first place just by doing my Total Body Cleanse program as outlined in the files.
