I am 23 years old and miserable! Whenever I am unhappy I become physically ill and my weird illnesses seem to better or worsen in direct correlation with my unhappiness/depression. There has been a wide range of ailments ranging from the common cold to kidney infections. The longer I’m unhappy, the worse they get or the more things I get. Things that should require ongoing medical treatment like growths or large cysts seem to vanish miraculously after a short time of me being happy. Its maddening! Even my doctor acknowledges it. What is this and why is it happening to me?

When I was pregnant, I was hospitalized on two seperate occasions for what I believe to be kidney stones. I strained my urine, but didn’t notice passing any. The doctors were only able to give me an ultrasound due to my pregnancy, but they said none were visible. The pain was worse than child birth. I have had one reoccurance since the pregnancy, unfortunately I was overseas at the time and couldn’t seek medical attention. I am worried that there is something wrong with me and I am scared to have another reoccurance. The pain is the most intense pain I’ve ever had in my entire life. Please let me know if you think this could be an enlarged kidney stone or if you know of any other illnesses that would produce this much pain in my lower back,side, and groin.

How much are we spending on healthcare to treat diet-caused illnesses?

From the book Eat To Live by Joel Furhmen, MD:

.."People are completely unaware that most illnesses are self-induced and can be reversed with aggressive nutritional methods. …The medical-pharmaceutical business has encouraged people to believe that health problems are hereditary and that we need to swallow poisons to defeat our genes. This is almost always untrue.

"…My clinical experience over the past ten years has shown me that almost all the major illnesses that plaque Americans are reversible with aggressive nutritional changes designed to undo the damage caused by years of eating a disease-causing diet. ….These conditions…can be effectively prevented or treated through superior nutrition. As their medical problems gradually melt away, patients can be slowly weaned off the medications they have been prescribed."

"Dietary-Caused Illnesses with High Prevalence":

–acne
–appendicitis
–atherosclerosis
–diabetes (adult)
–fibromyalgia
–gout
–high blood pressure
–irritable bowel syndrome
–macular degeneration
–sexual dysfunction
–allergies
–asthma
–constipation
–diverticulosis
–gallstones
–headaches
–hypoglemic symptoms
–kidney stones
–musculoskelatal pain
–stroke
–angina
–arthritis
–colonic polyps
–esophagitis
–gastritis
–indigestion
–lumbar spine syndromes
–osteoperosis
–uterine fibroids

"Not only are common disorders such as asthma associated with increased body weight and our disease-causing diet, but in my experience these diseases are also curable with superior nutrition in the majority of cases. Asthma is an exampleof a disease considered irreversable that I watch resolve regularly. My patients routinely make complete and *predictable* recovery from these illnesses, predominantly through aggressive dietary changes. …Diseases that are considered irreversible I see reversed on a daily basis."
