Celiac disease is a malabsorption syndrome and chronic digestive disorder. The intestine is not able to absorb vital dietary nutrients from foods containing gliadin, an alcohol-soluble portion of gluten. This condition which is often hereditary means the sufferer has a serious intolerance to wheat (including durum, semolina and spelt), rye, oats, barley, and related grain hybrids such as tritaclae and kamut.
Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joint. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis which is characterised by joint degeneration and loss of cartilage. Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis which is also an autoimmune disorder. In this case the body's immune system attacks its own cartilage and tissue surrounding the joints.
Some detoxification experts advocate fasting, while others do not. It is known that the components of any well-designed detox program will stimulate the body to cleanse itself, but people who are underweight, are undernourished, have weak hearts, have blood sugar issues or are ill should avoid fasting. Some studies have shown that restricting food intake can actually lead to bingeing.
Hemorrhoids are extremely common in industrialised countries and it is estimated that fifty percent of persons over fifty years of age have symptoms of hemorrhoidal disease.

How do I control my weight naturally?
Eat low-GI foods: The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates from 0 to 100, based on the rate at which these foods raise blood-sugar levels. The greater sugar rush, the more you crave sweets and cakes, so it makes sense to follow a low-GI diet, which is also an effective way of slowing down the ageing process, as too much sugar robs the skin of its natural plumpness. For a complete list of GI ratings, visit www.glycemicindes.com.
Eat high-fibre foods: these are not only good for the skin, but increasing fibre content from the recommended 12g to 25g-30g a day can help you reduce calorie intake by almost 20%, without you making any other dietary changes.
Eat the right fats: Fats derived from plants and oily fish are burnt more quickly than those from, say, sweets and cakes. They also help burn carbohydrate calories faster and are essential for healthy skin.

At Natures Clinicals we offer the proffesional and highly effective Keto Weight Loss Program
The KetoSystem Explained
The KetoSystem is a natural fat loss system, which uses the body's own metabolism to burn fat. Available only from healthcare professionals naturopaths, herbalists and doctors, the KetoSystem is based on a person gaining a maximum of 20% of calories from low GI (glycaemic Index) carbohydrates, 30% of calories from fat and a minimum of 50% of calories from protein.
The use of only low GI carbohydrates by the KetoSystem ensures that the body does not produce high levels of insulin. This is important as high levels of insulin will cause the body to store carbohydrates as fat and stops fat being converted to energy. This has the effect of not only making a person fat, but will keep them fat. Similarly, the high protein content of the KetoSystem is critical as it ensures the maintenance of muscle mass, the place where fat is converted to energy.

Natures Clinicals basic rules for weight loss
- We recommend the ‘Body shape’ diet. For more information take an online or telephone consultation or read Maria Middlestead's book "The Shape Diet"
- Remember – there is no ‘bad’ foods just ones you should not eat so often – or types of preparation that are not so good.
- Eating 4-6 meals per day keeps your metabolism in high gear and means yoy will shift the weight faster.
- Theres no getting away from it, exercise is crucial
- Eat whole goods such as fruit, vegetables and whole grains and less processed food such as prepared meals and junk food
- Ignore the scales. If you have increased muscle mass and lost fat, the scales can’t see that. Check how your clothes fit.
- Keep a supply of fruit, nuts, seeds, crackers and protein bars handy so that you are not tempted by an easy muffin or high fat snack
- Be sure to eat a good breakfast. It will get you through the day
- Alcohol and wanting to lose weight don’t mix as alcohol reduces the bodies ability to burn fat by 30%. Reduce your intake or cut it out altogether
- Set realistic goals and aim to lose a maximum of one kilogram per week.
- Focus on your successes, not your failures. No one is perfect, so don’t give up because of one rogue piece of chocolate cake.
- Drink 1 ½ - 2 liters of water a day.
- Get maximum pleasure from your food by creating a diet that has sufficient pleasure while also making good choices.
