Especially at the bottom of the article 'About the author' A disabled woman in a wheelchair has to take morphine to get out of her chair.
She changes her diet to whole foods and guess what? She throws away all he medication - She doesn't need a wheelchair anymore - not even a walking cane - she loses a lot of weight and returns to work.
All because she changed her eating pattern?
Yeah - pull the other one!!
Your health is centred quite significantly on the state of your gut and the foods you eat. That's because all the minerals, nutrients, elements that your body needs to function well and to function properly are coming from your digestive ability.
If you put the wrong things into your stomach you can compromise the whole works, even if you don't feel that different at the time. Once the gut flora begins to be degraded all sorts of health problems can arise and those problems then lead to other problems.
It is not at all surprising nor outrageous that someone can completely reverse an adverse health condition just by correcting diet and thereby correcting/rebalancing gut flora.
The walnuts of course are a great source of many beneficial things and therein lies the clue to things like shop bought Inulin. Nature creates produce that has a complex mix of minerals, nutrients, active ingredients and compounds and they all work together symbiotically (is that the right word?).
So picking apart Natures miracles and extracting just one single element is not Nature's way and therefore unlikely to be beneficial to us and in many cases is horribly bad for us.
We've extracted just the sucrose from sugar cane which is terrible for us.
We've extracted high-fructose corn syrup from corn starch which is terrible for us.
Nature knows best and Nature isn't a megalomaniac business corporation whose sole purpose is to con you out of money by selling you fake synthetic products.
Health comes from realising we are creatures of Nature, not creatures of Glaxo-Smith Kline. Healing goes the same way.
Eat what Nature has provided naturally and health will be ours.
Ignore any and all media nonsense to the contrary and be especially careful when you see TV pundits you currently deem to be respectable peers, touting manufactured foods.
Celebrities are very fickle, their income comes from media exposure and most are absolutely desperate to find any way at all to get it no matter how unwholesome.
They will try to get you to eat bad things, slap bad stuff on your face to look young, put your money into silly pension plans and all manner of things. Ignore them all.
Nature knows best. Nature is free. The mega-corps don't like that as it makes no money for them.
