ALZHEIMER'S - What you must know to protect your brain and improve your memory
Each day, in every corner of the world, thousands of people are seeing their brains and their lives destroyed by Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a deadly epidemic that’s only getting worse. This is why Dr Sandra Cabot developed her 4-Point Program designed to prevent and slow the progress of the brain damage caused by Alzheimer’s.There are now approximately 170,000 Alzheimer’s victims in Australia alone—with an estimated 1,000 new patients a week being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of adult-onset dementia. In the U.S. the situation is even worse, with almost 1,000 people a day diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. In an average year the disease will kill some 100,000 Americans. These numbers are staggering, and they are also climbing steadily. But do not despair.
In Alzheimer’s: What you must know to protect your brain, which is based on Dr Cabot’s careful research and her 30 years of experience as a doctor, you’ll find new hope and many new options in your personal battle to reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Learn about how Alzheimer’s affects the brain and how other medical problems may mimic its symptoms. Also, hear from an expert, the vital techniques to improve your memory.
You’ll take a tour of the normal brain and see how billions of neurones guide your body and your life. Then, learn what happens when Alzheimer’s strikes.
With Alzheimer’s, you forget all too soon the things you thought you could never forget.
Are you personally at risk for the disease? Take a test and find out—and then review some of the most common risk factors and learn how many of these risk factors can be neutralised.
There is no one medical or laboratory test that can pinpoint early Alzheimer’s with certainty, but Dr Cabot has researched the most effective tests and is sharing this information in a manner that is easy to read, and even easier to understand.
Diagnosing early-stage Alzheimer’s is like trekking deep forests with no map—it’s very easy to get lost. Dr.Cabot can put you on the right path, as she reveals the 10 common warning signs of Alzheimer’s.
The association between depression and the risk of dementia is discussed for the first time in a book.
Lifestyle
With no current cure available for Alzheimer’s, this is essential reading for those who don’t want to leave the fate of their brain and their golden years to chance. For the first time in print, Dr Cabot explains her 4-Point Program for Stopping Alzheimer’s. She doesn’t accept the common medical belief that Alzheimer’s can never be prevented or slowed, and reveals how a few simple lifestyle changes are the stepping off point to a healthier brain.Brain Boosting Foods & Recipes
The fattiest organ in the human body…what is it? The liver perhaps, or a kidney? No, it’s the brain, and this fatty organ is terribly fragile and vulnerable to damage from free radicals. What you put in your stomach has a huge effect on the health of your brain. Dr Cabot pulls no punches in providing a selection of foods guaranteed to tune-up and protect the vulnerable structures of the brain against the damage caused by Alzheimer’s dementia.All of the recipes for meals, raw juices and shakes have brain-boosting and brain-protective potential.
Brain Booster Supplements
First, try powering your car engine with muddy water. Then, switch to a high-quality petrol. The improvement you’ll see is similar to the improvement that will take place in your brain when you start eating brain boosting foods, and taking the brain boosting herbs such as Ginkgo biloba and Bacopa monnieri.Brain Games
The final piece of Dr. Cabot’s 4-Point Program is mental stimulation, a definite Alzheimer’s antidote that can be practised any place, with anybody, and at any time. Learn simple brain exercises and games to strengthen you mind.Medications
There are a number of possible advances in prescription drugs where Alzheimer’s is concerned. You’ll read about these, find out what medicines are currently being dispensed, which ones may follow, and how participating in a clinical trial may help you and let you help others.Final Thoughts
Can Alzheimer’s disease be prevented? In many people it can. Can it's progression be slowed? Yes, again. Can some of the brain damage inflicted by Alzheimer’s be repaired? Very possibly, as we now have new research that shows that laboratory animals with Alzheimer’s dementia actually get better once the abnormal genes are switched off. We also know that it is possible to grow new brain cells and new connections between brain cells no matter how old you are. Dr. Cabot reviews the key points of her 4-Point Program for protecting the brain and shares her compassionate and practical tips on caring for loved ones who have the disease.

CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT? You Could Have Syndrome X
Dr Sandra Cabot’s revolutionary book... "Can’t Lose Weight? You Could Have Syndrome X" is the ONLY diet book that looks at ALL the hidden and medical reasons why people cannot lose weight:- Syndrome X
- Abnormal Metabolism
- Thyroid Imbalance
- Hormone Imbalance
- Body Shape Factors
- Liver Dysfunction
Syndrome X is -
- A chemical imbalance that makes people store fat!
- The most prevalent reason why people cannot lose weight!
- Indeed, SYNDROME X makes it virtually impossible to lose weight unless it is specifically treated!
SYNDROME X is often hidden and mysterious and yet it affects 25% of the AUSTRALIAN POPULATION.
SYNDROME X is well recognised as a disturbance of insulin metabolism that greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2. The incidence of diabetes has tripled in the last 20 years and there are now more than one million Australians with diagnosed diabetes. Diabetes Australia predicts that by the year 2010 there will be 1.7 million Australians with type 2 diabetes. Some researchers have compared SYNDROME X to an iceberg, as it is only the symptoms that appear above the surface while its cause (namely excess insulin) remains unrecognised beneath the surface.
Syndrome X is still not recognised as a major factor in weight excess. Dr Cabot highlights this oversight and says that excess insulin encourages the body to store fat. She calls insulin "the fat-producing hormone".
What causes Syndrome X? Consuming excessive amounts of carbohydrates and hydrogenated vegetable oils, which is typical in our culture. This causes excess production of the hormone insulin. The body then becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, and compensates by producing even more insulin to stabilise blood sugar levels.
High levels of insulin cause:
- carbohydrates to be converted into body fat
- excessive hunger for carbohydrates and sugary foods
- suppression of the fat burning hormone glucagon
This book reveals some surprising facts about Syndrome X and weight loss generally.

| Cholesterol lowering drugs are only prescribed in high risk individuals. | Cholesterol lowering drugs are prescribed liberally and in many cases prematurely. |
| People understand which foods affect their cholesterol levels. | Most people don't have a clue what foods raise their cholesterol. |
| Eating too much fat will raise your cholesterol levels. | Carbohydrates and trans fatty acids raise cholesterol levels more than anything else. |
| The lower your cholesterol, the healthier you will be. | If your cholesterol is TOO low you could suffer from serious health problems and reduced quality of life. |
| Cholesterol lowering drugs have minimal side effects. | Cholesterol lowering drugs commonly cause serious side effects which are not recognised. |
| The lower your cholesterol the longer you will live. | Elderly people with high cholesterol live longer than those with low cholesterol. |
| Cholesterol is bad for you. | Cholesterol is essential for good health. It is needed for the production of sex hormones and vitamin D, and healthy brain function. |
Diabetes Type 2
You Can Reverse It Naturally!
A book to change your life!
Australia is currently in the middle of a DIABETES EPIDEMIC. One Australian is diagnosed with diabetes every 10 minutes.
The good news is -
1. With the right diet
2. Nutritional supplements
3. And lifestyle changes.
Type 2 diabetes can actually be reversed in the majority of cases!
The conventional dietary advice given to diabetics can actually make the disease worse.
Diabetics should not follow low fat, high carbohydrate diets.
All carbohydrates are digested into sugar, and raise blood sugar levels.
Why manage diabetes with diet and medication when you can actually reverse it?
In this book you will learn:
• The importance of protein to blood sugar control and weight loss.
• The nutrients that diabetics are typically deficient in, that can lead to poor blood sugar control.
• How to reduce your risk of diabetic complications such as blindness, heart attacks,
nerve damage and erectile dysfunction.
• The essential tests that all diabetics must have regularly to maintain good health.
• That a low glycaemic index diet is not enough to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes
• Specific foods, herbs and nutrients that can help to reverse type 2 diabetes.
This new book contains a two week meal plan and more than 40 recipes suitable for type 2 diabetics to lose weight and lower blood sugar levels.
Testimonial
Barry is 57 years old and works as a surveyor. He is now a healthy and fit man who enjoys his life but for most of his life he was very overweight and developed type 2 diabetes as a consequence. At the age of 30 he was diagnosed with very high blood pressure and started on anti-hypertensive drugs. He tried different types of meal replacement shakes in order to lose weight but he was always hungry and craved sweets.
At the age of 50 Barry weighed 125 kilograms and for his height of 1.7 metres this was way too much and put him into the obese range. He tried to fight his weight problem by exercising more but he could only get down to 90 kilograms. He couldn’t maintain that weight for long because of his enormous appetite and the kilos slowly crept back on. Barry’s diet was low in fat and consisted predominantly of carbohydrates such as bread, pasta and rice.
At the age of 54 Barry weighed 135 kilograms and that is when he decided to see a specialist. Blood tests revealed elevated levels of blood sugar (glucose was 13) and elevated levels of insulin (fasting insulin was 330). The specialist told Barry he had Syndrome X which caused type 2 diabetes.
Barry was a fighter and was determined to overcome and reverse his diabetes. He was put on a low glycaemic diet and thought that this time he was going to beat his weight problem. Unfortunately after 3 months on the low glycaemic diet, he was no better off.
Barry started to test different foods by measuring their effect on his blood sugar. He found that carbohydrates such as sugar, grains, cereals, flour and many fruits spiked his blood sugar levels. It did not matter if the grains were processed, refined, wholegrain or whatever; they still caused his blood sugar levels to spike. Conversely protein foods like meat, eggs, cheese, seafood, poultry, nuts, as well as green vegetables had no effect on his blood sugar levels and they remained low.
Barry was motivated, he strictly stuck to a low carbohydrate eating plan because it produced results: Barry’s blood sugar started coming down and he was losing weight. Barry continues to control his blood sugar level and today his average reading for blood glucose is only 4 mmol/L. Barry is no longer a type 2 diabetic and today feels happy and fit at a normal weight of 88 kilograms. His diet consists of mainly protein in the form of meat, cheese, plain yoghurt, seafood, nuts, eggs, poultry and also green vegetables. He has one piece of fruit daily. He is never hungry, therefore finds this diet easy to maintain. Occasionally when Barry visits friends or attends a special family event he allows himself a sweet treat or two, but this is not a regular thing.
It has taken a lot of hard work and discipline for Barry to be successful but he thinks it is well worth it.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT - The Real Truth
Stop the confusion!
This book will help women of all ages. By exploring the common misconceptions as well as the true facts about H.R.T., Dr Cabot explodes the myths surrounding menopause. Here at last from an Australian pioneer in the field of women's health is a TOTALLY NEW and TRUTHFUL perspective on Hormone Replacement.
Here is a book that tells the truth!
- Clears the confusion surrounding HRT
- Explains the tests to check your hormones
- Prevent degenerative diseases
- Stop depression and anxiety
- Have a fabulous sex life at any age
- Get your mind and memory back
This book shows how to-
- Enhance the quality of our lives mentally, physically and sexually
Answers the questions -
- How do I feel and look today?
- How does my mind function?
- Do I have energy and vitality?
- Do I feel sexual, sensual and feminine?
- Can I have a good sexual relationship with my partner?
- How can I remain healthy for the next 20 years?
This book gives you SAFE and EFFECTIVE answers to;
- Menopause
- Balancing your hormones naturally
- Osteoporosis
- Weight excess
- Heart disease
- The tests you need
Dr Cabot says;
"Women are not so much interested in how they will feel in 20 or 30 years time, but rather want to be able to enjoy the still relatively young years, at least in today's terms, that exist between the ages of 45 to 65. Today's woman is smart and well educated, and wants to know ALL her options."During the 1980s, menopause was "medicalised" by drug companies and women were made to feel that menopause was a disease requiring long term use of large doses of synthetic hormones. This paradigm has now been shown to be categorically wrong and menopause should no longer be treated as a disease.
Many women now find themselves in the dilemma of "I don't feel safe with HRT, but I don't feel well without it." Many women who have given up their HRT are now finding that they have withdrawal symptoms and cannot find an effective solution to carry them through the turbulent years of menopause.
Thankfully Dr Cabot shows us how natural bio-identical hormones made in the laboratory from plant hormones can be given in low doses and in forms that are much safer then the conventionally used brand name HRT. For example, natural hormones can be given in the form of creams and lozenges that are tailor made for every individual woman.
The solutions to the side effects of synthetic or excessive doses of HRT are provided, which enables the patient to become aware of all her options. Advice is given on how the patient can change from synthetic HRT to natural HRT and their equivalent dosages.
Delicious recipes and menus are provided to enable women to increase their intake of cancer preventing phyto-estrogens and antioxidants.
A natural menopause kit is described comprising-
- Super foods for anti-ageing
- Phyto-estrogenic herbs
- Essential fatty acids, minerals and antioxidants
Important advice is given for menopausal women in special circumstances such as;
- Premature menopause
- After hysterectomy
- After breast cancer
The exact correct combination of hormones needed in natural HRT is determined after taking into account the following;
- The patient's body weight
- The patient's body type
- The patient's past history of medical problems
- The patient's bone density level
- The patient's symptoms and expectations
- The results of hormone levels in blood and salivary tests
Well, no wonder women are confused!
The experts are confused as well; some believe that conventional HRT is still safe, other eminent professors implore doctors to take women off HRT. Just because yet another hormone controversy has raised its head, does not mean that all women will want to stop taking any form of HRT. There is no doubt that natural hormones can help us to feel and look younger, as well as keep us sexually young. Yes "hormones make the world go round", and controversial or not, they are not going to become strictly taboo!Since the results of the American Women's Health Initiative Study were published in July 2002, many women have stopped taking their Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Many of these women now feel frightened and confused and somewhat abandoned, as they now wonder what they can do about their flagging hormones.
However the consensus is that it is no longer safe for women to take synthetic or cross species hormone tablets long term for the prevention of heart disease or osteoporosis.
Well that has to be accepted, but what women really want is something to improve the quality of their lives as they struggle with the symptoms of menopause.
Dr Cabot's book brings new hope and clarity for thousands of women who have been left wondering how they will cope.
Dr Cabot's book is well researched and contains the most recent information from clinical trials using synthetic and natural hormone replacement therapy. This book will also be of great interest to medical doctors who are faced with the daunting challenge of helping menopausal women. Many doctors are unaware of the huge and wide-ranging benefits that natural hormone replacement can offer women with hormonal imbalances.

MAGNESIUM -The Miracle Mineral
“You won’t believe the difference it makes to your health!”
by Dr Sandra Cabot
A new book by award winning author Dr Sandra CabotMAGNESIUM can be LIFE SAVING, as it is known to reduce the risk of sudden death from cardiac catastrophes – this is particularly important for men under stress.
Dr Cabot’s latest book looks at many different and common health problems, that can surprisingly be relieved, or at the very least, significantly helped, by simple and safe supplementation with magnesium.
Magnesium is a mineral that can make a huge difference to your health and yet many people, even in the developed world, have inadequate magnesium levels in their body.
Magnesium can help those who suffer with –
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Heart disease
- Angina
- High blood pressure
- Poor circulation
- Stress
- Depression and anxiety
- Poor sleep
- Constipation
- Muscle cramps
- Migraine headaches
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Asthma
- Diabetes
- Facial and eye twitching
- Muscle tightness
- and many other health problems.
Magnesium gives elite athletes the winning edge they would otherwise never achieve, enabling them to conquer world championships.
Magnesium can reduce the risk of SIDS, calm irritable children and balance the nervous system naturally – that’s why Dr Cabot calls magnesium “The Great Relaxer”
Make sure you are not deficient in magnesium and you may just change your life – yes it’s really true – you won’t believe the difference magnesium can make to your health.
RAW JUICES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE
There is no doubt in my mind that raw juicing can save your life. I have seen it work miracles in some of my patients who were stuck on the merry-go-round of drug therapy. The juice from raw fruits and vegetables has powerful healing and rejuvenating properties that can help people with all sorts of health problems.I have known about the healing power of raw juices from a very young age, because they were the only therapy that saved my grandmother’s life. My grandmother, Susannah Dalton, was struck with a very severe form of a kidney disease called glomerulo-nephritis while she was still in her twenties. This was during the 1930’s when very little was available to treat kidney disease. In glomerulo-nephritis, the immune system attacks the tubules of the kidneys causing widespread kidney inflammation and blood and protein in the urine. Susannah was truly at death’s door when the hospital told my grandfather there was nothing further they could offer to save her life. Thankfully, my grandfather Harry was a man ahead of his time and a hospital dietician.
Harry took Susannah home and started a program of raw juicing. Harry gave her a glass of raw vegetable juice made alternatively from a vegetable growing above the ground and from a vegetable growing below the ground every hour. A miracle then started to occur, and over the next 6 weeks Susannah gradually regained her health. Her kidney inflammation settled down and her kidneys regained normal function. The concentrated vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants in the juices had calmed down her immune system and put out the fire of inflammation. Susannah Dalton was a wonderful woman and lived to the ripe old age of 78 years. It must have been a labour of love for my grandfather, as in those days one did not have the luxury of easy to use juice-extracting machines.
Often in this technological age where computers diagnose diseases and perform surgery, we tend to minimise natural therapies. It seems incredulous that the simple act of drinking raw juices could turn around severe diseases, however I have seen it work in otherwise hopeless cases.
Juices are easily digested and absorbed and are superb for those with a poor appetite, nausea, digestive problems and an inflamed stomach or intestines. It is so much easier to drink a juice than chew your way through large amounts of fibrous raw vegetables, especially if you are feeling fatigued and disinterested in food.
Modern day medicine is focused on treating the symptoms of disease with suppressive drugs. Sometimes this is necessary when a disease is very aggressive and acute in onset, however raw juice therapy is something that should always be used, even in conjunction with drug use. I have seen many of my patients recover form chronic disease after they started juicing, and this has been after they have tried many other things. People of all ages can benefit from juicing, especially the very young and old, or those with serious disease such as cancer, immune dysfunction and liver problems.
Juices are a perfect medium in which to mix and dissolve nutritional powders, and will enhance their healing powers. The nutrients and herbs in powders are better absorbed than tablet forms of the same ingredients, and mixing them in juices enhances their solubility, digestion, and absorption. The juices bring the healing nutrients to the cells in the surface of the mucous membrane of the gut in an easily absorbed form. This requires much less energy to assimilate than solid tablets, especially in people with inflamed mucous membranes in the intestines.
Juices can be combined in so many ways to make them palatable and even delicious. Their diverse colours and taste enable huge variety so that you will not get bored. For those who feel they need an extra boost, there is nothing better than having a raw juice everyday. It will brighten up the day by providing extra energy and endurance.
Raw juices are easy on your intestines
Juices are packed with living enzymes to assist the digestive process, which means your gut, liver and pancreas do not have to work too hard to provide you with vital nutrients. This conserves vital body energy, which means that you do not feel heavy or weighed down after drinking juices. You can absorb up to 99% of their nutritional value. Juices supply a concentrated source of vital nutrients. A medium size glass of carrot juice (250 mL) is approximately equivalent to eating 500 grams (over one pound) of raw carrots. Eating so many carrots at one time would be hard on the jaws and teeth, and would take a long time to get through.Juices are unique because they allow the gut to receive very concentrated amounts of phyto-nutrients that could not be obtained by eating a normal amount of raw vegetables and fruits.
Ideally, you should consume a diet that consists of a high percentage of raw fruits and vegetables, with cooked vegetables and raw juices. If you find the juices too strong, simply dilute them with water or flavoured herbal teas according to your taste. If you are sensitive to fruit sugar (fructose), or are diabetic, then it is better to avoid fruit juices and use only vegetable juices.
Raw juices can reduce acidity and toxicity in the body
Many people consume a diet high in processed foods, along with tea, coffee and alcohol. This causes a build up of acids and metabolic waste products in the body, which can result in more inflammation. This acidic state of the body can be neutralised by drinking raw juices. Celery, cucumber and cabbage juice are excellent to reduce acidity. This is an effective way to balance the pH levels (acid-base) balance in the body, which will dramatically increase energy and well-being.
Raw juices are able to stimulate the function of the bowels, liver and kidneys, which increases the breakdown and elimination of toxic chemicals and waste products from the body. The raw juices can increase the quality and flow of the bile. This is very important in detoxification, because the liver pumps large amounts of toxic poisons out of the body through the bile. In some people, the biliary system is like a "sewer" in that it is laden with unhealthy fats and toxins. Little wonder that millions of people suffer with liver and gall bladder diseases and stones. If only they knew about the power of raw juicing and "The Liver Cleansing Diet", they would be able to keep their gall bladder, and enjoy a healthier life.
It is quite safe and very effective to go on a raw vegetable and fruit juice "fast" for 2 to 3 days. During these days, you have nothing to eat except raw juice combinations, and raw vegetables and fruits. Diabetics cannot do this, as they must have regular protein and complex carbohydrates, but they can still enjoy raw juicing.
There are so many sick people on this planet searching for lasting solutions to their health problems. Furthermore, some of the drugs used to treat common ailments, can themsleves cause disease, and we call this drug-induced disease "iatrogenic disease". For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can damage the stomach, kidneys and the liver, if they are taken on a long-term basis. The cholesterol lowering drugs known as "statins" can cause severe muscle diseases. Some of the drugs used to lower blood sugar levels can cause liver disease.
A friend of mine who is a flying instructor was taking anti-inflammatory drugs for several months to reduce the pain of a back problem. After several weeks he found himself depressed and unable to remember the things he needed to be able to fly and instruct well. He was about to start anti-depressants, when I told him to stop the anti-inflammatory drugs and try "The Liver Cleansing Diet" and raw juicing. Within 2 weeks, his memory and mental abilities had returned and he could cope easily. He had been told he was suffering with stress!
Long-term antibiotics can cause severe liver damage, which can lead to immune dysfunction resulting in allergies and autoimmune diseases. Steroids like cortisone may lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis. Also, these drugs become increasingly ineffective over long periods of time.
These problems led me to become a medical doctor who first likes to do no harm to her patients. This is why I have turned towards nutritional medicine and I have found it immensely satisfying.
The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes has tripled in the last 40 years because we are not in tune with our body’s natural needs. It is true that "the food keeps getting faster and faster and we keep getting slower and slower"! You may be aware that in the early part of the year 2000 there was an emergency recall in the USA of a drug called "Rezeulin". Rezeulin had been initially released onto the market for diabetics to lower their blood sugar levels. Rezeulin caused severe liver damage in a significant percentage of diabetics, and some of these cases were fatal.
We often tend to panic when we become sick and rush in to taking drugs or having surgery. It is often better to sit down, relax and think for a while, so we can look at more natural alternatives. Can we change our diet and lifestyle, reduce stress, and take the time needed to truly heal ourselves? Yes, we can afford some more time for ourselves, and even if we need to take drugs, it is vitally important to start a program of raw juicing and raw foods. This is so important but rarely given the credibility it deserves.
Whilst I was lecturing in New Zealand, I met a very young woman with severe autoimmune liver disease. Her doctors did not know why she had developed this severe liver inflammation and had told her that she was going to need a liver transplant. During childhood, she had suffered with numerous colds and flus that had been treated with prolonged and excessive doses of antibiotics. These had probably been very significant in the genesis of her mysterious liver disease. If only her parents had not panicked and taken the time to consult a nutritional doctor and a specialist immunologist to check her immune system thoroughly, she could have controlled many of these infections with raw juices, dietary modification and nutritional supplements.
Another of my patients had come to see me suffering with longstanding obesity and had tried stomach stapling, many fad diets and tons of appetite suppressant drugs. These had damaged her liver and she had developed a "fatty liver", which made it impossible for her to lose weight. I convinced her to start juicing and to take a powerful liver tonic. She was quite desperate and agreed to try this program. After 12 months, she had reversed her fatty liver and had lost 37 kilograms in weight. In her case, it was vital to get her liver burning fat again. The juices had improved her liver function, changing her liver from a fat storing organ into a fat burning organ. She found that the juices quenched her appetite and gave her the energy to start exercising again.
Another patient came to see me complaining of weight excess, a facial rash and elevated liver enzymes. She had originally suffered with acne rosacea, which is a red pimply rash of the face. The doctor had given her long term tetracycline antibiotics for the acne, which had damaged her liver and made her face bright purple in colour. To overcome this drug induced side effect, she was taken off the tetracycline and given cortisone and antihistamines. The cortisone upset her heart, causing severe palpitations and she then had to stop everything. She was very frustrated and had finally turned towards a natural solution for the imbalance in her body. I started her on a course of juices for her liver and immune system and within 3 months, all her problems had gone. Moreover, she had lost much of her excess weight.
It is surely time to turn back to the treasure house of nutritional healing, so that we can work on the causes of disease and rejuvenate the sick cells in our bodies back to health. I am always hearing stories from patients that make me saddened because they were not offered the benefit of using raw juices. Even though a program of raw juicing may to many seem simple and nothing new, it is an incredible healing tool.

THE 4 BODY TYPES:
All women’s bodies belong to one of four types. These determine your trouble spots, and the foods that spell danger for your figure.LYMPHATIC
Often chubby since childhood, the lymphatic-shaped woman gains weight evenly all over- like Roseanne or Oprah. She craves dairy products and salty foods. Soft, cuddly, and often a couch potato, she just hates to exercise!ANDROID
Her broad shoulders give her an athletic appearance- like Madonna or Cindy Crawford- and a spare tyre around the middle when she puts on weight. She loves high cholesterol hamburgers or steaks, and her excess kilograms may mean excess facial and body hair too!GYNAEOID
For the classic pear shaped woman, fat is stored in the buttocks and thighs. Favourite foods are creamy cakes and sugary quick fixes- just ask Elizabeth Taylor or Julia Roberts. Most diets make her lose weight where she doesn’t want to - her breasts and face.THYROID
Lean and rangy, she has long legs, a long neck, and narrow hips like Princess Diana. She may have a propensity for eating disorders and she relishes energy boosters like caffeine, cigarettes, spicy foods or chocolate. No wonder she feels high-strung!The Body Shaping Diet has many benefits!
With your own simple never-feel-hungry Body Shaping Diet Plan, you will discover the tools to attack those problem areas and overcome your cravings. And as well as fighting the flab, you will learn how to banish cellulite, boost your immune system and eat for a healthy heart!
