Linda Lazarides - The Big Healthy Soup Diet - Nourish Your Body and Lose up to 10lbs in a Week

I explained that like his doctors I did not know what could be causing his problem, but that skin conditions usually responded quite well to making more drastic dietary changes. These were often only required temporarily until the condition cleared up. Richard was prepared to go ahead and see what could be achieved on that basis.

I gave Richard a diet that completely excluded saturated fat, dairy products and red meat, which contain arachidonic acid, a pro-inflammatory substance found in animal fats. Arachidonic acid can also be made within the body, but if excluded from foods eaten in the diet, the overall body load will be decreased. The diet also excluded tea and coffee, artificial food additives and alcohol. I asked Richard to make lots of home-made soups and to throw every vegetable he could think of into them. He did this with pleasure. I also asked him to take vitamin A and zinc supplements, and fish oils, plus some herbs which would help to rejuvenate his liver.

Nothing much seemed to happen for the first few weeks, then we noticed that as Richard’s hair grew, the scab seemed to be gradually lifting off with it. By the 10th week it had grown out completely, and the skin underneath was normal.

Cases like this are not unusual. It seems so sad that more people don’t realize just how much can be achieved with dietary therapy. Richard’s confidence and sense of self-worth had been severely scarred by so many years of enduring this unsightly problem.

Energy problems can range from getting easily tired after exertion to feeling exhausted almost all the time, no matter how much rest you have had. (This extreme condition is known as chronic fatigue syndrome or CFS.)
