Is healing autism possible? Many people say yes.

The GAPS diet is a grain-free, sugar-free, starch-free diet designed to heal the gut. It was created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a pediatrician and neurologist living in England. Her own son was diagnosed with autism, and she researched a way to help him heal — which he did. He is now fully recovered.

With the help of the GAPS diet, children all over the world are healing from autism, Asperger’s, and other autism spectrum disorders as well as ADD and ADHD.

cheeseslave » 18 August 2010 » In Health & Nutrition » 30 Comments

We have an epidemic of mental illness in America. Robert Whitaker, author of Anatomy of an Epidemic, calls widespread mental illness a modern-day plague. According to Whitaker, the number of Americans who are on disability because of mental illness has tripled in the past two decades.

What’s going on here? Millions of Americans are on mood-altering drugs like Prozac and Ritalin — so why is the rate of mental illness skyrocketing?

Giuliana Rancic: Low-fat and Infertile

cheeseslave » 11 August 2010 » In Health & Nutrition » 57 Comments

Is infertility caused by aging? If you are over 30, are you doomed to be childless? Or could it be your diet?

This morning my mom and aunt and I were watching The View. Giuliana and Bill Rancic (star of The Apprentice) were on (a rerun), talking about their inability to get pregnant. I guess they’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and have now turned out of desperation to IVF.

Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures Raw Milk Dairy

Raw milk. I talk about it a lot. Not only is it a thousand times more delicious than conventional milk, it’s also a whole lot more nutritious.

I also can’t get enough of Mark McAfee, founder of Organic Pastures Raw Milk Dairy here in California. I buy all of our milk from Mark and his dairy, and all of our cream and much of our butter (not to mention some ground beef and cow hearts, and I love their kombucha).

A Weekend with Julia Ross, Author of The Mood Cure

cheeseslave » 15 June 2010 » In Health & Nutrition » 73 Comments

Last weekend I attended a seminar with Julia Ross, author of The Mood Cure and The Diet Cure.

I’ll be honest. The day before the seminar, I was having my doubts. Would the seminar really be worth the hundreds of dollars I was shelling out, not to mention the cost of airfare, hotel room and rental car? I had already read both of Julia’s books.

cheeseslave » 05 June 2010 » In Health & Nutrition » 70 Comments

It’s been over a month now since I’ve had a cup of coffee — and I haven’t had a single craving. Moreover, I’m feeling happier, with more energy, and the quality of my sleep has vastly improved. Best of all, I don’t need coffee anymore. This is nothing short of a miracle for me. I’m the biggest coffee addict who ever lived! I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 16 years old. I’ve tried to quit coffee many times throughout the years, but I could never make it stick.

Why? Because caffeine is a highly addictive drug.
