DO YOUR MEDS MAKE YOU FEEL WORSE?

I've seen this in so many clients. They're 30-50 something. They go to the doctor, get some quick blood work done and because they are slightly elevated in blood sugars, or cholesterol or blood pressure the doctor immediately whips out that prescription pad. Well, now you resign yourself to the fact that you are aging and this might have happened sooner or later. The problem is you start taking the prescription and you feel out of sorts, and not nearly as good as when you stop taking them. You wonder, do I really need these? And if you have enough intestinal fortitude you go back to the doctor and demand more tests. Often times even when the doctors oblige you, the tests come back similar.
A few words of advice. You are not alone. Prescription meds are over prescribed and that is an understatement. I should know. Years ago I was in the hospital for a week with my bleeding colitis, the doctors said (and continue to say) there isn't a cure and provided prescription after prescription as their form of 'treatment'. The same was true when my cholesterol was elevated (a whopping 435 at the young age of 24) and my blood pressure was high and my thyroid was low. I was not only the poster child for prescription meds, I was also the perfect example of what happens to those who really don't need them. I was not myself. I just thought that my emotions were dragging me down because I was told I'd be on meds the rest of my life. I had become lethargic, nothing could make me happy, I felt 'off', and all other issues that I considered minor were now becoming majorly exacerbated.
- I didn't know at the time that all prescriptions are highly acidic.
- I didn't know at the time that most of the tests doctors order are serum blood tests and not adequate enough to get to the bottom of most issues.
- I didn't know how dangerous it is to mix these prescriptions together and how humiliating it was to be told that I just had to suck it up and stay on them no matter what or my life was in danger.
This was not good. I needed my quality of life back and I am guessing that you do too.
The good news is I am not on any of the above medications at all and probably never had to be either. I corrected everything by getting the correct tests done and by eating to balance the pH of my body. Both approaches were cheap, quick and very effective.
A colleague of mine had similar problems and actually wrote the system that I teach to help people correct their own health issues. It is called Great Taste, No Pain and while it seems to focus on folks with digestive disorders, it actually is a system that addresses every ailment that exists.
Because disease cannot exist in an alkaline environment. Disease thrives in an acidic environment. And when I talk about dis-ease, I am talking about everything from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, lack of energy, memory, circulation, cancer, acne, ED, weight issues, hair loss, excema, ----- you name it!
I know you're not in the mood to read piles of material. I've been there, gotten much healthier and am doing this for you and keeping it as short as possible. So take a peek at the wisdom behind this process. It is
It is an approach to properly combining foods to enable your body to heal itself. Please read my review of this system below.....
I researched and actively live by this solution of proper food combining. You get fast results. Since Sherry, my colleague, already beat me to writing this up and because I know it works I am choosing to endorse her product and here's my review of it.
My REVIEW of the "Great Taste No Pain" approach...
**************************
Quick Description
**************************
With more than 1 out of 3 adults in the US (70 million) taking OTC or prescription pills for digestive disorders and the pain associated with them, as a nation, we have serious health problems. And we're spreading our problems around the world.
What most people are frustrated with is that even if they eat how most health professionals consider to be 'healthy', a large percentage of people STILL experience digestive problems. And so most people resort to drugs, surgery or eating bland foods. Or they just continue to suffer.
This simple eating system is designed to dramatically reduce the acid pH measure in a person's entire body -- not just in the stomach. It does so by increasing the ratio of alkaline forming foods eaten and by showing you how to combine foods in a way that radically decreases the amount of acid digestive juices in the stomach and small intestines required to break down foods -
which is the primary component of the science of food combining.
A basic knowledge of Junior High chemistry is all it takes to see the logic behind this science: Mixing foods that require alkaline digestive enzymes with foods that require acid digestive enzymes slows and can even stop the digestive process. It delays digestion by as much as 10 hours and more and that spells discomfort. This proper food combining approach alleviates this problem, speeding food through your body, allowing it to absorb nutrients from foods at a much higher level.
One of the short manuals,'Foods That Create Acid, Foods That Take It Away,' is a simple guide for your body to use a minimum of energy in the digestion process, which leaves more energy for healing and other daily functions your body carries out.
Sherry Brescia, like myself, was a former Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Colitis sufferer. In fact, in 1991, she spent 7 days in the hospital with bacterial colitis, again, just like I did.
As a health insurance researcher and Chief Underwriter, she was able to research the benefits of an alkaline- balanced body and over the next 15 years perfected the system she now calls Great Taste No Pain.
She meshed a number of philosophies proven to help alkalize the body to create this simple system that anyone can follow regardless of where they are or what food choices they have available to them.

What I Like:
**************************
Taste: Unlike most restrictive DIEts, Great Taste No Pain cannot actually be called a diet, because it allows you to eat even great volumes of luscious, delicious food as long as you combine it according to a few simple guidelines. Perhaps the greatest news for people who love to eat is that the 176 page recipe book in the system is stuffed with breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that are unbelievably tasty. No rabbit food. Gourmet all the way, yet the meals (if you like to cook) only take between 15 and 30 minutes of prep time. So you can throw away the belief that you can't eat healthy on a super-busy schedule.
Speed:You don't have to read 300+ pages before learning what to do. In the first guide, it provides a brief background on the science and then quickly moves onto the step-by-step 'how to.'
Simplicity: The second Guide there is a massive compilation of every kind of food that you could possibly put in your mouth, along with the corresponding foods that combine with it for easy comfortable digestion, and those foods that don't.
Eating Out: Traveling is the one thing that can ruin even the healthiest eaters, so, included is a 'Pocket Guide For Pain-Free Dining Out.' Use it until you understand and remember what combines with what so you can eat and
enjoy the rest of your day, pain-free.
Meat: While meat is not something people with digestive issues usually tolerate well on a daily basis (hence the daily pain), the problem isn't so much the meat as it is what you eat with the meat.
That is why each of the Guides in the system, including the recipe book, lists every possible food you can combine with meats without suffering. Also, broccoli, lettuce, cucumbers and other veggies that can create havoc suddenly will not.
Fruit: Ask anyone that suffers stomach problems about fruit and you'll hear horror stories. So sadly, the most perfect food on the planet is shunned by a huge part of our world's population. You will soon learn why fruit causes you trouble and how to easily change that. You CAN eat fruit again.
While each Guide in the system is detailed and complete, they are written in the clearest language possible so that any 11 year old could teach it (my daughter is)!

Crohn's, Gastritis, Colitis, IBS, Diverticulitis, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhea:
**************************
There is no "cure" for most digestive problem, because the names doctors give to the ailments of the digestive tract are not diseases at all. They are maladies brought on by eating the wrong foods and by eating them in the wrong combinations.
For example, let's say you've got Diverticulitis or Crohn's. Great Taste No Pain can help you get rid of your symptoms very quickly.
But a year later, if you start eating like you used to, guess what? Yep, the symptoms will come back. You see, the principles that Great Taste No Pain is based on are sound. They work for everyone. But if you think that because you've been symptom-free for a long time, think again. Go against these principles of easy digestion, and the problem can come back with a vengeance. Remember, good health comes from living a healthy lifestyle, not a"do it once and you're fixed" approach.
**************************
Conclusion:
**************************
When I began following the system, I personally was amazed at the amount of energy I had, even late into the evening. I had no discomfort, no bloating, I didn't feel the need to eat again within an hour, no need for caffeine between meals and I lost weight without trying.
Professionally and personally, my strong recommendation is that for anyone who wants more energy, sounder and longer sleep, migraine headaches to stop almost immediately, pain from gastritis and acid reflux to stop almost instantly, and the pain of digestive problems to stop or be reduced dramatically, get over to:
Often it just takes one properly combined meal. After you have been following it for a week or more, feel free to let me know how you like it. I personally believe that anyone who adopts this simple, enjoyable food combining method will reap gigantic health benefits.
This information does not tout popping pills or enzymes, it just deals with plain and simple food combining. It has helped every single client who has come to me with digestive problems and I am recommending it because I use it myself, I was in the hospital years ago and went through the same hopeless scenario that Sherry's doctors painted for her. My father-in-law had Crohn's, my husband had colitis, my 11 year old had IBS, my other relatives and hundreds of past clients had a myriad of digestive disorders as well. This is the easiest, least expensive tool you can use for the rest of your life and it does not involve pills!
