Food Holiday and Clearing Symptoms

A symptom is any unpleasant sensation which suggests that your body is not working properly. People have a great variety of symptoms which range from mild discomforts to incapacitating suffering. If we defined "normal" to mean that you have no symptoms, then there would be very few normal people.

Loud complaints such as severe pain usually get our attention. Pain should mean: "Stop everything and fix what's wrong." You may have learned to ignore less intense disturbances. 

When symptoms are moderate to severe you usually seek some help or remedy. In our culture it is quite acceptable to become increasingly symptomatic, especially as we age. Generally people expect to take drugs to relieve symptoms. 

It is less popular but more desirable to change and remove the causes of disease!

The Alpha Nutrition Program provides information about the origin of common symptoms. The program manual reviews three points of view:

1. Symptoms of illness patterns which respond to diet revision

2. Clearing-withdrawal; the flaring and then disappearance of symptoms that occurs when you take a food holiday 

3. Recurrence of symptoms with food introductions and "cheats"

Symptoms in pre-existing illnesses are considered first; then symptom interpretation during Alpha Nutrition Program transitions are explained.
