You wander the same path over and over again - totally lost and bewildered. You appear to be alone with no one to show you the way out. There are many questions, but few answers. Which is the most effective treatment ? Who are the best doctors ? What options can be utilized so that the way out can be found ? You need to find your own path, and confronting your illness is a process that must be worked through . This process takes time and effort. If you live with a chronic condition, how you view the path you're on and decide to manage your day-to-day situations can greatly affect your quality of your life. Acute vs. chronic

Nutritional Suggestions For the ILL Diet is very important when you are battling a serious illness. This diet works wonderfully well along side of essiac MILD FOOD DIET Let us define mild food and see why this is the basis of all healing. Fruits are digested and removed from the body in twenty to thirty minutes because they are glucose sugar or simple sugar. Vegetables (not having heavy starch) will digest within forty-five to sixty minutes, when used alone. All vegetables have a certain amount of starch and are not as easily eliminated from the body as fruits. Vegetables, however, digest faster than the more concentrated foods such as starch, meat, and complex sugars. Concentrated foods cause the body to work harder and for a longer period of time in the process of digestion, requiring from four to six hours. Pork requires nine hours. It is also logical to use mild food in case of chronic or acute illness, since an adequate amount of hormones, hydrochloric acid, and enzymes are required to bring the concentrated foods into a state where they can be used by the body during this four to six hour process of digestion. Most people who are chronically sick do not have an adequate hormone balance so as to accurately make these changes. With the inability to make this change accurately, there is then an increase in the toxic waste by virtue of the unutilized foods. Fruit and honey are already glucose sugar and do not need much change. Vegetables have a small amount of starch but still do not require as much body effort in the process of digestion; they also have a cleansing and lubricating action, making them a suitable food for building as well as cleansing, with a minimum of strain on body organs.

Furthermore, we have found that most of these patients have multiple chronic infections that contribute to their morbidity.(2) If such patients refuse to change their dietary habits, they generally do not recover from their conditions, irrespective of the treatments used for their illnesses. Thus we consider that diet is extremely important in the treatment of chronic illnesses, and patients must follow some simple procedures to correct their dysfunctional immune systems and gastrointestinal tracts and restore proper nutrition to their bodies.(3) Chronic illness patients are often immunosuppressed or have dysfunctional immune systems and are therefore susceptible to opportunistic infections.(4) Simple or refined sugars can suppress the immune system, and simple sugars can also stimulate disease-causing microorganisms that require sugars for their growth.

Cancer Treatment Giving up the diet resolution This year, trade obsessions for healthy food and lifestyle choices America seems to be a country on a diet. At any one time, more than 25 percent of men and 45 percent of women are dieting, yet the United States has the highest incidence of obesity in the world. University of Michigan Health System cardiovascular nutritionist Marilyn Migliore counsels that it's not just what Americans eat that is the problem; it's also why we eat. She offers some suggestions to make your New Year's resolutions stick and help ensure 2005 is the year we abandon the “diet mindset” to controlling our eating decisions. A country on a diet “Americans are obsessed with dieting and food.” says Migliore, M.S., R.D., C.S.W., a cardiovascular nutritionist/social worker. It's not surprising that The South Beach Diet has consistently ranked as one of the top five advice books on The New York Times best seller list. The irony is that 64 percent of adults in the United States remain either overweight or obese – the highest incidence on the planet. Migliore says that, in part, the messages we receive are to blame.

Tired of popping antihistamines like candy? Can't go anywhere without your inhaler? The real problem may not be your stuffed-up head. It could be the microbes in your gut. At a recent meeting of the American Society for Microbiology , scientists from the University of Michigan Medical School presented results of experiments with laboratory mice indicating that antibiotic-induced changes in microbes in the gastrointestinal tract can affect how the immune system responds to common allergens in the lungs. "We all have a unique microbial fingerprint – a specific mix of bacteria and fungi living in our stomach and intestines," says Gary B. Huffnagle, Ph.D., an associate professor of internal medicine and of microbiology and immunology in the U-M Medical School . "Antibiotics knock out bacteria in the gut, allowing fungi to take over temporarily until the bacteria grow back after the antibiotics are stopped. Our research indicates that altering intestinal microflora this way can lead to changes in the entire immune system, which may produce symptoms elsewhere in the body."

In our society, many families discourage the expression of emotion. When a child's cries or outbursts of anger are punished or labeled as "bad" by the parents, the offspring tends to grow up denying the negative feelings and behaving in a rigid pattern which proved acceptable. Dr. Garnett stressed their feelings in order to deal with emotions and resolve day-to-day problems. She emphasized the importance of sharing feelings in our support groups. The insecurities, frustrations and adjustments related to the gluten-free diet and the illness should be aired with those who understand our situation. Such meetings can contribute greatly to easing denial, isolation and potential anger.
