We've all heard the saying, "You are what you eat."
Whoever coined that phrase is a genius.
Nothing in this world has a bigger impact on your state
of health than your diet.
Nothing.
Now there are other things that can contribute to
disease like smoking, drug use, lack of physical
activity, environmental pollutants, exposure to hazardous
materials and, once in a while, genetics.
But nothing even comes close to your diet in determining
whether your years on this earth will be healthy or full
of pain and sickness.
And if we don't feed our bodies how they need to be fed,
they die.
Just like a plant. A plant needs sunshine, water and
nutrients from the soil to thrive. Take away any one of
those three things and the plant withers away and dies.
And there are no substitutes for those three. You can't
pour coffee or soda on your flowers and expect that to
have the same benefit as water, even though they're
liquids.
We're exactly the same way. Our bodies need water,
nutrients from real (not processed) food and an alkaline
pH. Take away any of those things and we die--not as
quickly as the plant in my example above, but it still
happens.
When we go against nature and fill our bodies with
acidic foods and mis-combined meals, it throws ALL of our
organs, tissues and systems out of whack.
It doesn't matter who you are--this transcends race,
color or religion. We're ALL put together the same way.
The only thing that differs among individual people is
how the body shows the effects of long-term acidity.
Some people become obese. Some develop inflammatory
conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia or lupus. Many
suffer digestive problems like acid reflux, IBS, ulcers
or colitis.
Acidosis can also come out as hormonal problems,
frequent infections (like sinus infections or
bronchitis), high blood pressure, migraines, skin and
hair problems, premature aging or tooth decay.
A body loaded with acidic, toxic wastes is also the
ideal breeding ground for cancer and tumors of all types.
So that's why it's not OK to blindly eat processed,
acidic, badly combined foods and wash it down with a Diet
Coke.
You're killing yourself with every mouthful.
But once you finally start feeding your body what it
needs, it will respond instantly...as in immediately.
All of a sudden you start seeing changes and feeling
better.
You may be very surprised because chances are you didn't
make the connection between that nagging ache or pain and
what you were eating, but your body sure did!
Here's a perfect example.
Cynthia had a whole bunch of problems pop up at once.
She went from doctor to doctor and got pill after pill.
Then she got a pleasant surprise when she started eating
how I teach in Great Taste No Pain

See what she says:

Hello Sherry:
I have now been on your plan for about 2 weeks and I
tell you I am feeling much better.
Leading up to my surgery on 09/04/2008 (partial
hysterectomy), I was having these choking coughing
spells that would awaken me during the night.
After about a month of this, I finally had enough and
decided to call my GP, who said it sounded like I had
acid reflux because the coughing was happening during the
night.
Now I was a little shocked because I didn't have what
they called the classic GERD symptoms--no burning,
etc. I thought that I had allergy issues. Well, I was
put on Nexium and also diagnosed with a sinus infection.
I went in for my surgery and as a result of the surgery,
my blood pressure and pulse rate went way up. I saw
specialist after specialist only to be placed on Atenolol
for the elevated pulse rate.
I went to an allergist and was put on antibiotics again
for what she called an unresolved sinus infection. I
later went through allergy testing and found out that I
was allergic to just about everything and was given an
inhaler.
I also saw a gastro specialist and was told that I have
mild signs of esophagitis.
Well after starting your program my blood pressure went
way down (95/58) and the Atenolol had to be adjusted to
half of the dose.
I am sleeping so peacefully at night that it is unreal,
and on only one pillow!
I was on Lipitor, but I am no longer on this medication.
I am so happy to have found your plan. Kudos to you and
your hard work.
May God bless you because you certainly have been a
blessing to me and my health.
Thanks,
Cynthia from Helotes, Texas

SB: Cynthia, I'm thrilled to see you're experiencing
the many ways your body is saying thank you! God bless
you too.

Just think of the ways YOUR body will say thank you.
PS: Brigitte is now free of high blood pressure and the
pills that go with it:

Hi Sherry,
Thanks for developing a system that is easy to
understand and to follow.
I have had Acid Reflux disease and Hiatal Hernia most of
my life. I am 67 years old. I prayed everyday that
something would come along to show me the way to a "Pain
Free" life.
Then one day I came across your web site, my prayer
answered.
After one week, I am pain free and feel like a normal
person.
It feels GREAT to be able to bend over without having
instant heartburn. I have been able to discontinue most
of the Prilosec I was taking.
