LEAP/MRT: 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 dietis 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.
Conditions and Symptoms Linked to Food Sensitivity
- Irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, functional dyspepsia (heartburn), diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramping and bloating
- Migraine and other chronic headaches, fibromyalgia, joint pain, muscle pain, muscle weakness, arthritis
- Autism, ADD/ADHD, fatigue, tiredness, insomnia, general malaise, restlessness and 'brain fog'
- Hives, eczema
- Excess mucous production, chronic post nasal drip, chronic congestion.
