Reports From The Front: Nutritional First Aid In Action At The Virtual Clinic
A Sugar, Dough, Dairy, and Caffeine-Addicted Mom
This natural health-oriented gifted cook was the devoted mother of several young children. In spite of the fact that some of her children had obvious health challenges, and many had obvious symptoms of food intolerance( moodiness, constipation, stuffy noses,etc) she routinely fed the entire family mostly wheat dough ,cheese, and sugar:
Morning cereal and toast
Bread and pasta with cheese for dinner, with homemade cookies for dessert.
Plus candy between meals…
In addition, she drank coffee herself all day long.
First she tackled her own addictions to gluten and dairy products, something that is so common. Because gluten and casein both attach to the endorphin receptor, they’re both edible opiates! To turn off these food cravings, she needed the help of DL-Phenylalanine. After that she reluctantly moved on to cut out the coffee. She emailed her nutritionist in amazement during the following week, saying that she was feeling so good without it! For her coffee withdrawal she had needed the help of Tyrosine. She was able to change the diet of the entire family and saw that her own and her children’s health and mood clearly improved (as they had every time she’d attempted to do this in the past.) But this time, because her cravings were gone, she was able to move forward with permanent dietary improvements for the whole family. All this took six sessions over 12 weeks!
A 55 Year Old Junk Food Addict
This woman’s goal was to stop eating at McDonald’s every night which she had been doing for years, and lose the weight that she had put on because of it.
Because she hated taking supplements, it took her three weeks to start taking glutamine, DLPA, and 5 HTP three times a day. In her third session she reported that she “had no desire for McDonald’s at all!” She continued taking her supplements and began working on some digestive problems that allowed her to start making permanent changes in her diet and losing weight.
