| Is
Your Food Making You Sick? |
|
| Are
you suffering from a stubborn health problem that
won't go away no matter what you try? Or perhaps
you feel like the medications and treatments you're
taking aren't actually getting at the root cause
of your illness - but you want something that will?
If you feel this way, or know someone that does,
here are some important facts to consider: |
-
Medical Research has shown that foods and food
additives can be involved in a wide array of
painful symptoms and chronic health problems.
- If
your diet is causing your illness, whatever
medications you take will ultimately fail because
they only mask the symptoms. They don't affect
the underlying cause of the symptoms. And as
is too often the case, many medications have
side effects that can lead to other health problems.
- If
diet is causing your illness and you don't address
it, you could easily end up suffering for many
years, spending thousands of dollars for treatments
that will never work the way you want them to.

Why
we feel sick…frequently
Food sensitivities are a common cause
of many chronic conditions and affect an estimated
15-20% of the population. Symptoms provoked by food
sensitivities occur when our immune system begins
perceiving foods in the same way it perceives things
which are truly harmful - bacteria, viruses, parasites,
etc. There are many reasons why this can happen,
but this mistaken identity leads to the release
of toxic chemicals called "mediators"
(such as histamine, cytokines, and prostaglandins)
from our immune cells. It's the inflammatory and
pain-inducing effects of the mediators that give
rise to symptoms, which ends up making us feel sick.
|
| Research
has shown that patients with irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS), migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic
depression, and many other conditions have higher
than normal levels of these mediators circulating
throughout their bodies. For many, the "trigger"
that causes the mediators to be released can be
linked to foods or chemicals in their diet. |
| Food
sensitivity symptoms are often chronic because the
mediators that make us feel sick are released every
time you eat your reactive foods. And it doesn't
matter what drugs we take to try and get better;
if we have food sensitivities and don't figure out
which foods we SHOULD be eating (and of course,
which foods we should stay away from), getting better
and staying better becomes a long-term losing struggle. |

Identify
a healthy diet and feel better
Your healthcare provider has a
new program called LEAP© that will help you
overcome any food sensitivity problems you might
have. LEAP will allow you to quickly identify
what foods, additives, and chemicals are provoking
your symptoms, and, more importantly, which foods
have the highest probability of being safe.
|
| LEAP
uses a patented blood test named MRT© (Mediator
Release Test©) to isolate a safe foods diet
for each patient. MRT eliminates the guesswork to
give you definitive answers. Once the test is performed,
an eating plan is developed and tailored to the
needs of each individual patient. Then your healthcare
provider or a trained LEAP Dietitian will assist
you in implementing your new, healthy eating plan. |
Your
improved health is in your hands
The LEAP Program has helped thousands
of IBS, migraine, fibromyalgia and other food sensitive
patients quickly overcome their food sensitivities
and find lasting relief, even to the point of feeling
completely healthy again after years of suffering.
In fact, most patients see noticeable improvement
within 5-10 days on the program. And all without
the ongoing costs and potential side effects of
prescription medications that will never fix the
underlying cause of the illness. If your healthcare
provider thinks that LEAP can help you, the next
step is up to you. Commit to improving your health
and follow through. If you do have food sensitivities
and you want to feel better, your improved health
is in your hands. |
