For years the standard for gauging dietary compliance has been calorie counting. We have all been guilty of it. Frankly, it is pretty difficult not to get suckered into counting calories. After all, food manufacturers even add up and break them down on every label you pick up. Yet, here is the irony. For what appears to be an effort in transparency, the reality of what is in your food is still hidden. So, if more energy, increased motivation, weight loss, or any other health related change is something you desire, then maybe it’s time to rethink calorie counting.
Toxic fatigue! Do you know what it is? How do you get it? Can it be resolved? Two words can generate a lot of questions quickly. Toxic fatigue is a real concern. But I am noticing that too few professionals are talking about it. Don’t get me wrong, some well informed champions of health are with me in trying to make you aware of this hidden cause of fatigue. However, as loud as our voices are, they are no match for the “purveyors of poison”. You are being assaulted with toxins daily. Yes, I said daily!

No matter where you live, you are prone to some form of natural disaster. These are always trying times. They challenge us physically, spiritually and emotionally. As I write this, neighbors are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Harvey. The flooding was catastrophic. Yet, what the flooding leaves behind can be worse. Its effects can last not days, but years. For this reason, it is important that you have a plan for overcoming mold toxicity.
Now I realize such a plan is pretty low on most people’s list. However, I can assure you after working with patients with mold and bacterial toxicities, you should put forth every effort to offset their debilitating effects.

“Trust us. We are the government and we are here to help.” Famous last words many groups and people have heard just before being hood-winked. If you think the government has your best interest in mind when watching over your food, shame on you. You are being naive. Instead you should be asking, “What do they really know about the chemicals in your food?” The answer may shock you.

There is an autoimmune cause commonly mislabeled as gluten reaction. Gluten is a cause of autoimmunity. It can be the culprit of your autoimmunity. However, there is another piece to the story you have not been told. Other items can mimic gluten. Other substances resemble gluten. This confusions the immune system. Even when you think you have removed gluten, you have not removed the reaction. I am sorry to tell you, but if this is you, your autoimmunity is not going to get better.
Why You Were Unsuccessful on a Gluten Free Diet
You tried gluten free didn’t you? Let me guess, it did not work. I cannot tell you the number of patients I see that still have symptoms after going gluten free. For years I have told patients that autoimmunity is complex. It requires experience to manage. More importantly, you cannot simply look at autoimmunity as having a single cause. It has multiple causes. Don’t misunderstand, gluten can be a cause. I do not advocate the consumption of traditional processed grains. If you eat them, your risk of autoimmunity significantly increases. Yet, you have already tried eliminating gluten, and here you still are fighting autoimmunity.
I have proof the gut is not the cause of autoimmunity. I know this is the complete opposite of everything that you have probably been told or read online. That said, I firmly stand my position. I will proclaim that the gut is not the cause of autoimmunity because I have definitive proof. Don’t believe all the hype. If you zero in on the gut as your target for addressing your autoimmune condition, you are doomed. You will fail.

If you are reading this, you or someone you know is likely dealing with autoimmunity. Autoimmunity can be a bit confusing. After all your immune system is attacking you. Ideally it should limit attacks to foreign substances or organisms such as bacteria and viruses. When an autoimmune condition is present, have you ever thought to ask yourself, what caused my immune system to turn on me? What changed that caused the immune system to suddenly flip. And I do mean suddenly.
Many often ask me, why am I having problems now when I have never had them before. You have probably asked yourself the same question related to autoimmunity. You may be shocked to know that the answer is not that difficult when you consider the cause, or better stated causes of autoimmunity. Something that I need you to understand before I continue on is that there is not a single cause for autoimmunity. There are causes. In fact, autoimmunity is like the perfect storm. You have to have several events that come together just right to great a catastrophic event. That my friend is autoimmunity.
I hear you. “Give me the causes.” I will, but hold on for a second. I have not given you the big picture. In addition to these large causes of autoimmunity, there are other considerations that sometimes get blamed as the cause of autoimmunity, but more specifically only amplify the effect. To prevent the confusion, I am going to share those with you as well.

False expectations. Don’t you just hate when someone makes a promise and does not follow through. It just gets under my skin. This is not all that different than the story associated with two herbs that are often found as part of detox programs. These two herbs are cascara and senna. They offer a lot of promise, but there role in detoxification is limited. So why are they part of detox programs?
