Advice

It is a fact that in the medical field today, very few GP’s will concern themselves with your diet, (except where there is an obvious diet related disorder, such as diabetes, or obesity). Even then, they will refer you to a nutritionist because doctors do not do study nutrition in-depth.
This seems strange to me, as even Hippocrates pointed to the diet as the major cause of illness. Perhaps with the discovery of bacteria et al, the scientists threw out all the common sense and stopped considering nutrition important. Perhaps it is true that it is all about the pharmaceutical companies that sponsor universities. I don’t know.
The point is, that if you want to look to the source of your illness, or simply preserve your health, it is up to you to consider the importance of diet. Your doctor is unlikely to point you in that direction, although there does, at least, seem to be a trend to encourage exercise and a more healthful lifestyle on the part of the government and NHS.
Most people do not take their eating habits seriously until they are faced with a more serious problem, and quite often, even then, they do not consider a change in lifestyle. The truth is that most people are sadly ignorant about the effect of food on the brain.
There are those who do not have any adverse food reactions and seem to be able to eat whatever they like. There are people who do seem to go through to old age with comparative good health, despite what seems to be an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Having said that, though, bear in mind that it is often the man who has a heart attack at 50, who says ‘I thought I was as healthy as a horse!’.
On the other hand, many people do experience quite serious health problems which can easily be solved by correcting the diet. Sometimes there is a need for medical treatment in combination with diet, but in many instances medication can be stopped once the body has regained it’s health through a simple change in eating habits.

Case Study
For example, consider Gillian, who had a history of depression. She was absolutely adamant that the source of her depression was hormonal. After a series of tests which showed her hormones to be perfectly balanced, and many fruitless trips to various doctors, she was finally put on anti-depressant medication. There was a marked improvement and as long as she stayed on the medication, she no longer experienced mood swings. However she still had other health problems such as asthma, hay fever and sinus.
In frustration, she decided to see a nutritionist. She was told to cut out all dairy, wheat, sugar, and many other products. Not knowing how to eat without those things, she quickly gave up. It was many years later that I put her on a detox programme that she would find easy to follow.

The aim of the detox was to see whether she had an intolerance to certain foods. She already knew from allergy tests that she was allergic to shellfish, but the tests did not show up any other foods. What they did
