			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you thought Part II of my holiday<br />
sugar series would be posted the<br />
next day? Afraid not my friend.</p>
<p>Since I decided to indulge in my<br />
favorite sweet for the holidays -<br />
pumpkin pie &#8211; I went into a spot of<br />
low energy and depression.</p>
<p>I am back up and running, though<br />
it always takes a few days. Sound<br />
familiar?</p>
<p>How in the world do you (and I) reduce<br />
sugar cravings that have haunted<br />
us our entire life? We can address<br />
nutritional deficiencies, remove<br />
barriers to healing and strengthen<br />
our immune systems. I will briefly<br />
discuss each strategy.</p>
<p><strong><em>Address Nutritional Deficiencies</em></strong></p>
<p>First it is important to acknowledge<br />
that sugar cravings mean that you<br />
are not giving your body the nutrition<br />
that is necessary for it to function<br />
optimally. We are certified body<br />
abusers. The abused victim in this case<br />
just happens to be our own body.  </p>
<p>You can approach this challenge in<br />
two ways. First, you can set about<br />
to determine what nutritional deficiencies<br />
are contributing to the imbalance. Is it<br />
too little of Vitamin D3, or B6, or B12 or<br />
magnesium or &#8230;?</p>
<p>You can ask your doctor to order an<br />
exhaustive series of tests that evaluate<br />
nutritional deficiencies in the body.<br />
Specific prescriptions of vitamin and<br />
mineral supplements will remedy the<br />
deficiencies in time and reduce the<br />
cravings.</p>
<p>This approach works well for some<br />
people. The downside it is expensive,<br />
time consuming and time limited. The tests<br />
have to be repeated again and again to<br />
maintain the balance that is needed.</p>
<p>Second, you can focus your intent and<br />
energy on giving your body all the<br />
nutrition it needs to heal. This means<br />
eating fresh foods that are free of<br />
pesticides and additives.</p>
<p>With this strategy, what does it matter<br />
today whether you are deficient in one<br />
vitamin or mineral or another? If you eat<br />
nutritious, fresh food every day, you<br />
will eventually give your body all the<br />
nutrition it needs to come back into balance.</p>
<p><strong><em>Assess Barriers to Healing</em></strong></p>
<p>What are barriers to healing? Certainly,<br />
food allergies are at the top of the<br />
list for most people. One of my most favorite<br />
foods is whipped cream. I love eating whipped<br />
cream. It makes me happy.</p>
<p>Whipped cream makes my intestines bloat.<br />
My entire digestive system screams out<br />
in pain. My spleen is not a happy camper.<br />
I pay the price for my few minutes of<br />
pleasure for the next 48 hours. And no, I<br />
am not out of the woods yet from eating<br />
pumpkin pie and whipped cream several days<br />
ago. </p>
<p>My body has a strong allergic reaction to dairy.<br />
End of story. If I eat dairy, I pay the price. </p>
<p>Toxins also pose fundamental obstacles to healing.<br />
Many people do all the right things to heal the symptoms<br />
of Parkinsons but see little result from their efforts.<br />
This is because their bodies are swamped with too<br />
many heavy metals, poisons, pesticides, cleaning<br />
chemicals or other chemicals that rip up the integrity<br />
of their body&#8217;s organs.</p>
<p>The solution is to identify the toxins. Then, <br />
adopt a program of cleansing to get rid of them. <br />
The cleansing program should work at a gentle<br />
pace that you body can tolerate. Too much<br />
scrubbing too quickly can create other worrisome<br />
problems.</p>
<p>I have invited Dr. Ivy Faber to be my guest<br />
in a teleseminar tomorrow (Tuesday) who will discuss<br />
approaches for identifying toxins in your body and<br />
methods for releasing them. Click on the link<br />

<p><strong><em>Strengthen your Immune System </em></strong></p>
<p>Finally, it very well may be that<br />
your immune system has crashed. You will<br />
never be able to fight off viruses and<br />
bacterial infections unless you can get<br />
your immune system back on track.</p>
<p>There are many very effective therapies which make<br />
use of natural herbs and medicines that can help<br />
build your immune system back up so that your body<br />
will have the overall strength to heal.</p>
<p>Your body will not begin to address neural issues<br />
if infections or viral threats are screaming for<br />
attention. When the body becomes overloaded with<br />
challenges, it prioritizes what problems need to<br />
be addressed first. Infections are at the top of<br />
the list. Neural abnormalities are toward the bottom<br />
of the body&#8217;s priority ranking.</p>
<p>In summary, pay attention to the basics and your body<br />
will heal itself. Sugar will no longer rule your mind<br />
or your life. The problems of fatigue, depression and<br />
sleeplessness will become memories of the distant<br />
past.</p>
<p>Write any question you have for Dr. Faber. I will be happy<br />
to ask it tomorrow time permitting.</p>
