Dr Mercola's nutrition plan - A wonderful read.

October 31, 2006

http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/index2.htm (Runs into many pages, a wonderful read) Introduction: have broken my nutrition plan down into three phases: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Success comes in steps, and this program has been designed to allow you to make your journey to optimal health in a step-by-step manner. Almost everyone should begin at the "Beginner" level. The exceptions are those who are already implementing the advice found there, and those with serious diseases or other conditions that may want to - or have been advised to - take the more extensive measure of implementing the advice found in several or all of the stages to promote healing and health. While

making every change within phase is ultimately recommended to help you reach your optimal health, to determine which areas you may want to put the most initial focus on, you should assess your "Four Factors" -- insulin, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol -- as defined below. You should also periodically update your knowledge of your four factors to determine the progress you are making. Each of the steps in these three phases has been placed there based on my clinical experience: while most people will benefit from taking the plan stage by stage, if you are just beginning but there are steps in the Intermediate or Advanced plan that you are eager (or have been advised) to implement now, by all means do so. Likewise, if you have achieved many, but not all, of the steps in the Beginner plan and would like to move on to some steps in the Intermediate plan while continuing to work on the

unfinished ones in the Beginner, go for it. If some changes present more challenge than others, just keep working at them. Remember, health is the greatest commodity you can ever have, so every step you succeed at taking throughout these three phases, whether it feels large or small, is a great leap forward in this most important journey. If you get discouraged at any point, keep this in mind: It is your one and only body and mind, and, more than anything else, it is worth it. After all, they (the pro-vaccine lobbyists) say to themselves, you can't make an omelette withoutbreaking eggs. But the eggs being broken are small, helpless, and innocent babies, while the omelette is being enjoyed by the pediatricians and vaccine manufacturers. - Harris L. Coulter,
