Sugar and Sweeteners

FatehSrajeldin N.D.

Sugar is the mother of all ailments. Our ancestors, who did not have this white poison, did not have nearly one hundredth of our daily growing list of new diseases. Almost always, once I take a chronically ill patient off sugar, the patient begins to feel well in a few days.

Sugar's danger stems from the fact that it creeps slowly into the user’s body under the disguise of its sweet taste. In the meanwhile it fortifies its roots deep in the body especially in the pancreas, liver and the lymphatic system. Eventually, it gains full control of these three organs. Once these organs fall into the sweet trap, the patient will struggle with an endless list of diseases without knowing the real cause.

Some patients question me about synthetic sweeteners consumption. These sweeteners are chemicals and are even worse than regular sugars. I am not talking about natural fruits or their sugars.

One important point to remember is that one teaspoon of sugar depresses the immune system for 2 hours.

So, for example, a can of pop, which contains 12 spoons of sugar will depress the immune system for 24 hours - a whole day!

During my lectures on digestive tracts, allergies and asthma, I question the audience about the nature of sugar. I ask whether it is a food or a drug. Almost always the audience is split 50%-50% on the question. Some swear that it is a nutritious food. Others say that it would not be sold in the market if sugar caused any sickness! Nothing could be more pathetically untrue.

Sugar is the most devastating chemical that we put in our mouth and the mouth of our loved ones. Sugar contradicts the principles of natural treatments, therefore almost all patients are asked to come off sugar. This is even more true for those who have Candida, Eczema, Weight problem, recurrent Infections, Asthma, Ear Aches, Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), etc.

Sugar Scoop

Sugar, the lucrative substance that we call our loved ones after, is the substance that we should avoid the most. While it stimulates our taste buds and makes some of us drool for it, our body extracts no vitamins, minerals or enzymes from it. On the contrary, instead of giving some nutrients like other foods would do, sugar actually negatively affects the body in the following manner:

• Depresses the immune system, so that one teaspoon of sugar would depress the immune system for two hours. A can of pop would depress the immune system and expose the body to infection for twenty-four hours;
• Depletes Calcium and consequently Magnesium from the body;
• High insulin demand;
• High enzymes demand;
• Allergic reactions;
• Hyperactivity and
• Fatigue.
