WHAT SYMPTOMS TO EXPECT WHEN YOU IMPROVE YOUR DIET

If I were asked which is the area of greatest misunderstanding and confusion in the field of nutrition?  I would definitely be forced to reply, it is the failure to properly understand and interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better program.

A better nutritional program is the introduction of foods of higher quality in place of lower quality ones.  The quality of a nutritional program is also improved by omitting toxic substances such as coffee, tea, chocolate, tobacco, salt, pepper, etc.

Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind.  When the quality of the food coming into the body is of higher quality than the tissues which the body is made of, the body begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues to make room for the superior, which it uses to make the newer and healthier tissues.

What are the symptoms or signs which become evident when we first begin to omit the lower grade foods and instead introduce superior foods?  When the use of a toxic is suddenly stopped, headaches are common and a letdown occurs.  This is due to the discard by the body of toxins which are transported by the bloodstream during its many bodily rounds.  Before the noxious agents reach their final destination for elimination, the irritants register in our consciousness as pain or as a headache.  Usually, within three days the symptoms disappear and we feel stronger due to the recuperation which follows.

As one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the quality, interesting symptoms begin to appear.  The body begins a process called “retracing.”  The cellular intelligence has a chance to get rid of old garbage and build a beautiful new house.  The accent is on elimination and the body begins to move garbage deposited in the tissues.

People may experience skin rashes or eruptions due to elimination of poisons and harmful drugs through the skin.  If they go to a doctor not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he might diagnose it as an allergy and suggest the diet be discontinued.  They don’t understand that the body is “retracing.”  The skin is getting more alive and active. These toxins being discarded are saving you from more serious disease which will result if you keep them in your body too much longer.  Possibility: hepatitis, kidney disorders, blood disease, heart disease, arthritis, nerve degeneration, or even cancer.  Be happy you’re paying your bills now in an easy payment plan.  With some, colds may occur, or even fever.  This is nature's way of housecleaning. Understand that those actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment.  Do not try to stop these symptoms by the use of certain drugs.  These symptoms are part of a curing process.  These are not deficiency conditions or allergic reactions.

Symptoms, they may include: Headaches at the beginning, Fever and/or colds, Skin breakouts, bowel sluggishness, occasional diarrhea, tiredness, nervousness, irritability, negativity, etc.
