"I have started your no-grain diet, even before I've received my copy of your book, by following your Web pages for beginners. I am 56 years old and have, for the last four years, suffered with debilitating aches and pains in my muscles and joints. The least activity would set off an inflammatory response that would take days, sometimes weeks, to recede. I have tried everything to get to the source of the problem without success.

Within days of giving up grains and following your plan the pain I was experiencing began to melt away! You cannot imagine how liberating it feels to be released from this prison of pain. I am doing 30 minutes of exercise each day, something I have not been able to do and I feel sooo well.

I was not even aware of how unwell I was feeling! Other symptoms that have cleared are:

• Hot flashes (I had endured these for six years)
• Bloated stomach
• Excess gas
• Disturbed sleep
• Excess weight (I was only about 10 pounds overweight but could not lose it)

I trained to be a Healer and have recently qualified as a Meridian therapist using EFT with terrific results (particularly at the hospice where I volunteer)."

"I have been utilizing the information you have so graciously gathered in my healing practice and as a healer of myself for almost two years now. I must thank you sincerely and deeply for the tools you have provided. I have spent the last five years healing myself from an aggressive breast cancer using nutrition and holistic methods of healing. I have succeeded with a lot of assistance from pioneers in this field such as yourself. Thank you very much for putting it all together in THE NO-GRAIN DIET. I am excited to get such a gift. Thank you."

"In December 2001 I was diagnosed with lupus, and in February 2002 my wife was diagnosed with diabetes. Her blood sugar was 176 and two years previously it was 160, so the trend was obvious. Researching the Internet we came across the Mercola.com site, plus others, and decided to change our way of eating, to include no grain and no processed foods.

Within a week my digestion improved tremendously, and after a couple of months I realized I hadn't been popping digestion pills now and again. My wife's blood sugar came down to 113 on her next test, and we estimated [using a monitor] that it went down to that level after one week of our change to a more natural diet.

To make a long story short, here we are 15 months later, my wife's blood sugar is 108 and the last of the many various problems I have had with the lupus symptoms [fatigue] have just reliquished their hold on me--all without drugs or creams.

We have said goodbye to degenerative diseases for life. So, thanks a million for your help, and may many others see the light."
