Chronic illness may be triggered by small increments in insulin sugar and. fat.

In our culture, sugar is the mother of all metabolic toxins, inviting a more descriptive name Sugar Eater’s Syndrome.Our sugar-based diet is creating a culture of ill, malnourished Americans including toddlers.

Meanwhile the complex nature of inflammatory illness eludes symptomatic treatment because it will not address the cause Current evidence based approach to all chronic illness is long on cost and short on results. No one gets well. We are caught in a spiral of slow deterioration and the need for ever more medication and procedures and other treatments. The disease mechanisms are so diverse, complex and so profoundly tied to our very biochemical makeup that the idea of any curative medication is an expression of having missed that point.

Chronic illness account for some 75% of the 2.5 trillion dollars spent per year on healthcare in this country. The results of this effort are sadly disproportionate to the effort and the US is behind most industrialized countries in overall health status. We are implementing health care reform, but our current approach is not sustainable because it misses this point.

The remedy for a toxin is not “vegetarianism”, it is its removal of excess sugar and fat, which reverses inflammation and chronic disease. There is a plethora of studies confirming this,leaving us with the imperative to shift our food culture from sugar-based to food-based.
