Unknown health problems
QUESTION: Masters, I have a daughter who just finished university and has poor health for no known reason. She finds it difficult to eat, feeling sick at the thought of food, and wakes up with headaches. This has been going on since puberty, and we have been to an herbalist, chiropractor, and naturopath, as well as done allopathic testing. I know she has been working incredibly hard, but she balances her life with yoga, meditation, and volunteer service and she loves life to the full. She is so caring and compassionate and wants to do so much in the world! Can you help us understand this situation? ~Paula, Canada
ANSWER: Your daughter, with the onset of puberty, became very sensitive to all additives included in foods. She has a tendency to build up toxic levels of these within her system, resulting in the symptoms she displays. These foreign substances in foods are continually stimulating a negative reaction within her body. The headaches are the body objecting to the intruding chemicals.
She can start to desensitize her body to these intruders by removing them from her diet. She has a real sensitivity to dairy products at this time and eliminating them will help with the headaches. Salt reacts in a catastrophic manner in her body as well. The more processed a food, the bigger a reaction it gets.
If she were to begin eating a high-density nutrient diet, mostly fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and some grains, she would see incredible results. Her body has the ability to completely heal itself if the right fuel is available to it.
