Question
Hi there!  I need some advice about what I could do to be healthier/more energized, maybe what special vitamins/minerals I should take daily (i try to take a multivitamin but sometimes i forget).  I have been getting sick more often lately although i am the kind of person who rarely gets sick.  I know its because i dont sleep nearly as much as i used to since I have a new job now.

Another big problem I have is that I never had much of an appetite...I actually DONT even like food much..if i could survive without eating i wouldnt mind (as long as i could have some chocolate, cheese, pasta every once in a while!)
So i eat very little and i dont include much fruits and veggies in my diet as i dont like them much and feel i dont have time to prepare/buy them.  i tend to eat cheese sandwiches more than anything else and noodles or pasta once in a while.  sometimes I order eggs and orange juice to my work for breakfast but not everyday. (im a vegetarian by the way so NO beef/chicken/fish)

I know im a difficult case but do u have any suggestions somehow? i used to have mild anemia but i think im better now as the last time i checked i didnt have it...i didnt have anything wrong with me except i almost had high cholosterol! (which runs in the family..i dont have it yet though but bordering almost) Im a 24 year old female who looks pale with circles under my eyes but other than that i dont have anything serious....yet! please HELP!

Answer
Dear Nada,

Thank you for writing. I have reviewed your letter and will advise you accordingly.

Your diet is too high in carbohydrates, therefore tiredness ensues, and dark circles are a sign of nutritional deficiency. This affects and weakens your immune system which leads to more sickness more often. So this cycle must be broken. Another thing is if you are working with computers, the electromagnetic radiation the electronics emit is quite dangerous to one's health. The radiation bombards the immune system, nervous system and hormonal system causing even more imbalances.

Diet:

Please avoid all soy products and all artificial sugars; splenda, sucralose, nutra-sweet, equal, aspartame.

Supplements:

The best supplement i have come across is the 'fruta-vida' .
Website: www.tryfrutavida.com/main

It contains a high level of nutrition and will provide you with everything your diet is currently missing.
Take 2 ounces per day.

If you can eat eggs and butter please do so. Whey protein isolate will provide all the protein you need.

To shield your body against detrimental electromagnetic frequencies, please use the 'environmental protection card'
found here:  www.safespace.net.tf

It is a marvelous device and will provide much benefit to you.

This protocol will address all your needs and restore our health.

Best wishes Nada,
