How I reversed my son’s ASTHMA

 

It took me a while to get up the courage to write this post.  'I didn’t quite want to say my son is CURED of asthma even though we haven’t had to use any inhalers or steroids for over a year now. Saying any chronic illness is “CURED” is pretty bold and I felt like “REVERSED” was a much better word.  Could my son still have the tendency for asthma?  Will he have a flare-up in the future?  Maybe.  But right here, right now he’s doing amazing.  And I wanted to share his story…'

'THERE’S NO DOUBT about it. Artificial sweeteners cause obesity.

I always thought it was funny to see a very large person order a Big Mac, large fries — and top it off with a Diet Coke. I also found it peculiar that I rarely saw thin people drinking diet sodas. So I began to wonder if there could be a link between diet beverages or artificial sweeteners and obesity. As I began to explore this notion, I discovered a number of different research findings that pointed to this very phenomenon.

'This year alone, nearly 600,000 Americans will lose their lives to cancer. Recent estimates tell us that 41 percent of all Americans will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes and 21 percent of the population will lose their lives to this devastating disease.[1] A new report released by the World Health Organization's (WHO) forecasts that by 2035, an incredible 24 million people will be diagnosed with cancer globally.[2] These numbers reflect the need for a complete overhaul of our approach to cancer.

Despite being overlooked for decades, volumes of scientific evidence prove that diet and nutrition play a leading role in cancer development.
