When I treat a patient with a cold or flu I seek to find out the underlying cause of the problem. It is hardly ever the cold virus, which is just a trigger. A cold or flu usually results from:

• Unresolved emotional stress (not being happy)
• Not enough sleep
• Going off the eating plan and consuming too many grains and sugars

If you resolve these health basics your body has no choice but to stay healthy and get better. It is my strong clinical belief and frequent observation in my clinical practice that each of us has been provided with an enormous array of biochemical mechanisms that are designed to generate health. Most of us have to regularly violate these principles for many years before we reap the fruits of our unhealthy choices.

Fortunately, the repair mechanisms work quite well for most of us and are activated once we eat right (check out my nutrition plan for healthy food recommendations), resolve emotional issues and make sleep a priority in our lives.

There are many practical considerations that are difficult to describe on the Web site, but believe me, the bulk of what we do for people who come to our clinic is apply the same information you'll find in The No-Grain Diet and help them resolve their emotional challenges with tools like EFT.
