FOOD FOR YOU

YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR DIET

Our approach is different for many reasons, one of the foremost being that it is based on the simple premise that the body is telling us much more about itself than most doctors would acknowledge.

To understand this we've found it easiest to make comparisons to things that we have a far greater understanding of, like cars. If you put unleaded petrol in a car designed to run on leaded petrol the engine will soon become damaged and let you down. Even worse, if you accidentally put diesel fuel into a petrol engine the engine will cease very quickly. The same is true of your body. Sooner or later, if you consume the wrong fuel or the wrong FOOD FOR YOU, you will inevitably run into problems.

In the west, we're used to doctors telling us that a problem is due to a virus or that "there is nothing seriously wrong", but in our opinion this is often not the case. Following your doctor's lead you tend to ignore or misinterpret symptoms and signs, thinking of them only in terms of suffering, but they are offering constructive information. For example, let's look at the Tonsils; small organs at the back of the throat.

The majority of us view them as annoying little structures that sometimes get very sore and enlarged and interfere with swallowing properly! When they get very red and swollen it is best to get an opinion from a doctor or qualified health professional, especially if they are covered with white spots called Folliculitis when you might need a course of antibiotics.

But what if the Tonsils have a more constructive role?

Like your nose, the Tonsils produce fluid or catarrh as part of a ‘Rejection’ process, trying to wash out something you have swallowed or inhaled that your body is not happy with. But what happens if you don’t pay any attention? You carry on eating and drinking or inhaling the things that are upsetting your body and end up with a constant runny or stuffed nose. The catarrh or fluid that the Tonsils produce can often gets trapped, stagnates and becomes infected by bacteria, indicated by the folliculitis. If this whole cycle is frequently repeated they become so damaged and scarred that they may have to be removed.

The Tonsils are part of the Immune System and are one of the first points of contact with food and drink.

They could be behaving like a fuel filter in a car’s engine. The fuel passes through this filter before reaching the engine and stops any dirt in the fuel damaging the engine. But the body's Tonsils go one step further. They not only help to contain and resolve any harm that could result from consuming food that is contaminated with viruses and bacteria, but they also tell us what basic foods and drinks are possibly potentially damaging us. In other words

When you get a sore throat or Tonsillitis, you are receiving a warning of unsuitable food or drink

And what do we do? Just shut them up by masking the inflammation with pain killers or antibiotics or eventually removing them.

Poor Tonsils - what a way to thank them.
