This is a self-help system designed to track down food allergies. You take out those foods and drinks which are most likely to be indicated in food allergy and follow the hypo-allergenic diet for about two weeks. The diet is reproduced here by kind permission of the Society for the Promotion of Nutritional Therapy.

You may eat:
All fresh vegetables. Includes raw vegetables and salads, lightly steamed or stewed vegetables, soups made with fresh vegetables, potatoes (without butter). Frozen vegetables. Do not use tinned vegetables except for pulses.
All fresh fruits and pure fruit juices. Tinned fruit is occasionally allowed if it contains fruit juice with no sugar rather than syrup.
All fresh or frozen fish. Oily fish like mackerel, herrings and sardines are especially recommended. Tinned fish is acceptable if in pure oil, brine or spring water.
All fresh or roasted nuts and seeds (unsalted). Includes almonds, brazils, walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts and pecans. Sesame seeds and linseeds need to be ground up first otherwise they just pass straight through you. Other seeds to include are sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pine kernels. Tahini (sesame seed paste) and other nut butters are fine as long as they are sugar- and additive-free.
All pulses. Includes lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, butter beans, haricot beans, aduki beans. You can cook these yourself or buy canned. If you are cooking kidney beans and chickpeas, remember they need to be soaked overnight. The soaking water should then be discarded and the beans cooked very thoroughly in fresh water. Check that canned beans do not contain sugar or anything else except salted water.
All soya products. Includes tofu, soya milk, and miso. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for flavoring as it is wheat-free but soy sauce is not; and sometimes soy sauce contains MSG (monosodium glutamate) which should be avoided.
All cold-pressed (unrefined) oils. Includes sesame, sunflower, extra-virgin olive oil. The supermarket oils (except extra-virgin olive oil) often contain anti-foaming agents and other chemicals added in the processing to extract more oil and should be avoided.
Non-gluten grains. Includes brown rice, millet and buckwheat, as well as flours and flakes made from these grains. Since grains are very small they can absorb more pesticide, so try to buy organically grown ones if available. Use arrowroot or corn flour as thickeners.
Pure herbal or fruit teas. Includes peppermint, chamomile, rosehip, etc.
Natural sweeteners. Honey (in small amounts), maple syrup, rice syrup, date syrup.

Ревматоидный артрит – очень широко распространённое заболевание, которым страдает более 5% населения России. Многие инвалиды – больные ревматоидным артритом.
В чём суть заболевания?
Отложение солей на суставах конечностей и в позвоночнике. Отложение солей в суставах приводит к их воспалению (артриты), в хрящевой и соединительной ткани – к нарушению обмен веществ, разрастанию грануляционной ткани, которая прорастая в хрящ, изъязвляет его и определяет обезображивающий вид. Процесс заканчивается развитием костных анкилозов, т.е. обездвиживанием соответствующих суставов.

Piracetam is considered to be the first true nootropic drug. Since it was developed by UCB Laboratories in Belgium in 1972, almost all major pharmaceutical companies have created some form of nootropic drug based on the molecular structure of piracetam.

How Piracetam Works. Piracetam increases alertness and enhances memory by stimulating the cholinergic system of the brain, especially in the cerebral cortex. The cholinergic system uses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is synthesized from the smart nutrients choline (or the structurally related compounds lecithin and DMAE), vitamin C, vitamin B5, and vitamin B6.
Piracetam exerts the following effects on the brain:
It stimulates an increase in the metabolic rate and energy level of neurons.
It shields the brain against free-radical damage from hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).
It protects against loss of memory from trauma and poisoning from environmental toxins, such as pesticides and air pollution.
It heightens memory and learning in healthy people, as well as in those who have already suffered a degree of memory loss.
It facilitates the transfer of information between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Piracetam: Memory and Learning. Several recent studies have confirmed that piracetam enhances learning, memory, and overall mental performance. One study of human subjects revealed that the mental performance of middle-aged people who were in good overall health but complained of a noticeable degree of memory loss improved significantly after four weeks of taking piracetam (4.8 grams per day).
Humans are the only animal species that possess a two-sided brain. The left and right hemispheres of the human brain each control specific mental functions. The flow of information between the two hemispheres has been demonstrated to be absolutely essential for harmonious and optimally sympathetic mental activity. Piracetam has been shown to improve (and even increase) the flow of information between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
The two brain hemispheres are connected by a group of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. It is mainly through these nerve tracts of networks that information from one hemisphere is transmitted to the other. This bidirectional aspect of the human brain dictates that nerves from the eyes and ears, for example, cross over to the opposite side of the brain. Therefore, sights and words that are received by the right eye and ear, respectively, are perceived by the left side of the brain, and information that is presented to the left eye and ear is sent to the visual and hearing centers on the right side of the brain. Piracetam seems to enhance the connection between (to “superconnect”) both sides of the brain via the corpus callosum.

Piracetam Increases Brain Energy. The production of cellular energy depends upon the systematic buildup and breakdown of ATP. Biological aging decreases the amount of ATP available for conversion into energy, particularly in brain and muscle cells. The decreased amount of ATP, in turn, weakens the enzyme-induced processes that trigger the release of energy within the cells. Thus, as most people grow older, they find it increasingly difficult to perform under mental and physical stress, especially for long periods.
Piracetam promotes the synthesis of ATP, the universal form of cellular energy, in the cerebral cortex and so facilitates the transfer of information between the two cerebral hemispheres and increases the synthesis of proteins in brain cells, which research has established that long-term memory depends on.
Integrated information processing is suspected to be an important element of the creative insight enjoyed by artists, musicians, writers, and scientists. Some researchers speculate that because piracetam facilitates communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, it may enhance artistic, creative, and intuitive impulses. Piracetam does not produce the side effects that many people experience with the use of other synthetic stimulants that affect the central nervous system (such as amphetamines and cocaine). Even large doses of piracetam do not produce sedation or changes in brain waves or have adverse effects on the circulatory or respiratory systems. No toxic side effects have been reported in the medical literature following administration of piracetam to humans.
Dosage commonly used: 1.6 to 4.8 g per day (in 2-6 equally divided doses).
Sources: Piracetam is available in Mexico and throughout Europe and can be mail-ordered from the sources in Appendix I. A number of U.S. pharmaceutical companies are currently testing piracetam-based drags that show promise as memory enhancers.

All experts agree that, with the rare exceptions of thyroid insufficiency and defective metabolism, the number one cause of obesity is overeating. But what causes overeating?
The basic cause of overeating (and consequent obesity) is a disordered appestat mechanism which controls the appetite. Nutritional deficiencies caused by denatured foods disrupt the work of the appestat. Plenty of physical activity and/or exercise are required to keep the appestat working well. Also, appestat function can be disrupted by negative emotions, such as anxiety, fear, hostility, insecurity, etc. Thus, obese persons should make every effort to avoid such feelings and foster a positive outlook on life.

Dietary considerations
Low calorie Airola Diet of nutritious foods with emphasis on 5 or 6 small meals, instead of two big meals a day. Plenty of raw fruits, vegetables and fresh juices.
Avoid all sugar and white flour, and everything made with them. Avoid salt, coffee, tea, alcohol. Avoid all refined and denatured foods.
Take 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar in glass of water with every meal.
Low protein diet (35 grams a day) has been found to lead to safe weight reduction without the health damaging side-effects of a high protein diet.

Biological treatments
1. Repeated short juice fasts, one week, to 10 days. Long juice fast, up to 40 days, or more, can also be undertaken, but only under expert supervision.
2. Lots of physical work or exercise, especially walking, jogging, swimming, sports like tennis, etc. Strenuous exercise and/or physical activity are imperative for effective weight control.
3. Dry brush massage, twice a day and intermittent hot-and-cold shower every morning.
