Eat Treats and Still Reverse Autoimmune Disease

When I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 22 years ago I was a complete and total full-blown sugar addict. I don’t say this lightly. I mean it. I was addicted to sugar the way an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol. In order to reverse my autoimmune disease (which I did within 6 months of diagnosis and it’s been gone ever since), I had to quit sugar. The break up was tough. In fact I write about this in my #1 best-selling book, Solving the Autoimmune Puzzle. I talk about what I now call the “detox-retox rollercoaster.” It took several detox-retox cycles before I finally knew that sugar was like rat poison. I knew I would never eat rat poison, so I was able to stop eating sugar. One of the ways I was able to stop so completely is by replacing the rat poison version of sugar and sugar substitutes with some alternatives that still gave me the sweet taste every once in a while.

Reduce Inflammation While Enjoying Birthdays and Holidays

I get patients in my practice who are frustrated with the limitations their autoimmune disease and leaky gut has placed on their dietary choices. I always feel nothing but compassion for these frustrated patients of mine. Navigating the dietary changes necessary to reverse inflammation, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, chronic pain, and autoimmune disease can feel very overwhelming, especially when you are told to give up sugar completely. My patients always tell me how hard eliminating gluten, alcohol, caffeine, dairy and sugar are. It is hard. But it’s easier now than it has ever been. They also treat me like their mother confessor or food police. They will make an appointment around birthdays or holidays and tell me how “bad” they were. Usually that confession is followed by how crappy they feel and the desire to get back on track. [Read more…] about Reduce Inflammation While Enjoying Birthdays and Holidays

How to Gently Detoxify Your Liver?

Today I want to get started on gently detoxifying your liver. No matter how hard you try to keep your diet and environment pure, you just can’t avoid all the harmful toxins in the air you breathe, the water you drink and the soil your food is grown in. It’s a global problem, and, unfortunately, there’s no escaping it.

Toxic overload can seriously impact your health and make you feel miserable. This occurs when your liver — your body’s primary organ of detoxification — just can’t keep up with the task of eliminating the toxins you’re exposed to, daily.

One easy, gentle way to help the liver out is to use a castor oil pack at night when you are sleeping. Use the instructions I have given you here and for the next 2 weeks place a castor oil pack over your liver and sleep with it. Your liver is in the upper right area of your abdominal area. Part of it hangs out under your last couple of ribs. Place the castor oil pack over that upper right quadrant.
