Life's Too Short to Feel Crummy All the Time (A Free Teleseminar)

Reading your blog, eating my gluten-free cereal. : )  I'll be there tomorrow for sure!! THANK YOU!!!!!

I'm familiar with food allergies and it does affect the way we feel.  The wheat-free diet is recommended for children with autism and I'm sure there are millions of adults who can benefit from it too.  One of my sons is now feeling much better on a gluten-free diet after years of suffering from a long list of skin and respiratory issues.

I'm in Jennifer.  This will be right before my income tax appointment so it'll help me keep calm through that ordeal.  :)

I will try my best...have a couple of appointments tomorrow and always have to be prepared for the inevitable "change of appt" but I hope to be there!  Life has been a whirlwind lately!

Great topic!  I've recently found out about some annoying health issues and have had to make some changes - it is amazing the difference already.

Jennifer: When you decide to feel good, great things can happen.

Good food = Good energy!  Kristine

I'm looking forward to it!  I spent three years with significant pain in the area of my gallbladder.  After the first year, I had my gallbladder removed (muscle was not expelling enough bile).  A year later when the pain was no better, I underwent a battery of tests including MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Colonoscopy and Endoscopy only to be told there wasn't anything wrong with me.  

The doctor described is as a "functional disorder" and kept encouraging me to take drugs to get rid of the pain.  He was less than thrilled that I wanted to determine the problem rather than treat the symptoms!

Last Christmas, we stopped using the microwave, got rid of all teflon and aluminum cookware, started using coconut oil and introduced more raw food to our diets.  Within 2 weeks I was feeling much better.  Now, I'm 95% pain free and really only have symtoms when I eat out.

Wow!  That was a long winded way of saying that you are what you eat.  Pay attention to what you are eating and you will likely feel better overall.

Looking forward to listening to the audio.  So interested in this subject!  Thanks!

I'm late to the party - but I will chime in with something.

When I was working in the lab - I got sick.  It started shortly after the tragedy of 911 - but it persisted until I left Einstein in late 2005.  The only thing I can think is that on 9/11 itself - I was coming down with something.   I had a fairly high fever that morning and stayed home that day -  (staying home actually prevented me from being within 25 blocks of the WTC that day)  Later the bug I had went into bronchitis...then pneumonia.  Ok - that happens.  But what happend next made is more to the point.

I kept getting sick - over and over and over.  It was an infection that I couldn't shake.  The bronchitis just kept coming back.  Within six months I was having increased issues in the lab when I did a lot of animal work.  The mouse rooms had thousands of mice in them.  The only relief was a big dose of benedryl before animal work.  Then I needed coffee so I could function.  I restricted animal work to 2-3 days a week so I wasn't taking benedryl every day.  But I still got sick.  9/11 and the pneumonia might have been the trigger - but I was turning out to be very allergic to the animals.  The bronchitis cleared up after I left the lab for good.

Looking back NO career is worth what that did to me for about four years.  It was like being in a semi-drugged state half the week.  If you are feeling sick there is generally a cause - for God's sake - nail it down - and then deal with it.  I didn't realize how misearble I was feeling until I was no longer there.
