tritional excellence, and some physicians who don't know about it

are convinced it is not possible.

Not only are common disorders such as asthma associated with

increased body weight and our disease-causing diet, but in my expe-

rience these diseases are also curable with superior nutrition in the

majority of cases.' Asthma is an example of a disease considered ir-

reversible that I watch resolve regularly.

My patients routinely make complete and predictable recovery from

these illnesses, predominantly through aggressive dietary changes. I

am always delighted to meet new patients who are ready to take re-

sponsibility for their own health and well-being.

You can watch a new you being made by the wisdom of your

body, and this new you will result in all your systems and organs, in-

cluding your brain, functioning better. Depression, fatigue, anxiety,

and allergies are also related to our improper diet. The brain and im-

mune system are able to withstand stress better when our body is

properly nourished.

1 am neither a research scientist nor a writer by profession. I am

a practicing physician who sees at least five thousand patients a year.

I work with these patients, educating them and motivating them to

do more than others have asked them to do. The results I see with

my patients are thrilling. Diseases that arc considered irreversible I

see reversed on a daily basis.
