Question
Hi
Now that I am getting older(late 40's) I am starting to look like my Father and uncles,who all had a very pronounced abdomen.
Unlike them,I exercise and eat healthy.
My abdomen is actually quite firm but it sticks way out,and can be uncomfortable.
Is this a genetic trait that I cant change,or could it be related to a hormone imbalance or food allergy that I share but can do something about?
What about herbs or alternative medicine?
My last total physical I checked out A OK.

Answer
Dear Bud,

Thank you for writing. You sent your question on the 22nd it seems, but it took till today to reach me for some reason.
Forgive the delay.

Belly problems are often related to beer. Do you drink beer? If you so, cut it out completely, and this may very well alleviate it completely.

In the case of nutritional product, the only one i will recommend is this: http://www.tryfrutavida.com/main
An excellent product: I recommend taking 2 ounces daily.
Do some research on the website, it will give you more info.

If you do not drink beer... email me and let me know. I will look into this further for you. The cause is therefore something different.

General recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, soy causes thyroid degradation. Cut out pasteurized milk, take only certified organic or raw milk.

Cut out all artificial sweeteners: splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra sweet, equal, spoonful, saccharin, acesulfame potassium, sorbitol, cyclamate, alitame. These sweeteners are toxic.

Make sure you read labels on all products before you purchase.
Make sure you avoid everything that says "sugar free" on it.

Cut out the use of microwaves, they lower haemoglobin levels, deteriorate immune functions and produce high numbers of radiolytic compounds in foods. Replace your microwave with a nuwave oven when you can.

Avoid all hydrogenated oils, avoid margarine, canola, rapeseed, and soybean oil.

Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7-10 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water or distilled water. Remember, drink purified water only.

If you are using toothpaste that contain fluoride, please replace with a herbal toothpaste that is fluoride free.
If you have dental (mercury) amalgams---get them removed by a dentist who knows how to remove them.
Never agree to silver amalgams either, as they are 50% mercury. The dentist must provide a bio-agreeable material
as a filling.
