All of us start with the basic Nutrition Made Simple (NMS) Program. Some of us, for a time, or for a good while, need to add to the basic NMS diet, so that they can focus where their disease/disorders indicate a weaknesses. These choices are more broad than modern medicine sees. There are seemingly overlaps, but that is because some disorders have more than one significant area of weakness. than one significant area of weakness. Read and study all of the information that pertains to your interests.

The Nutritional Guidelines (NMS) choices include:

1. NMS for Inflammatory, Immune, Autoimmune, Cancer, Cardiovascular, Circulatory disorders and Type II Diabetes  This is a broad category and can be used for all Cardiovascular diseases including High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Arterial and Venous Disease, and Degenerative Heart Disease. Also, inflammatory disorders of every kind including but not limited to: Arthritis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, Dry Skin, and Hair and Cancer, and many more. Also use this guideline to support degenerative diseases with significant oxidation as an underlying cause, including all forms of cancer, Parkinson's disease, M.S., other degenerative neurological disorders, arterial disease/ blockages, Alzheimers, other dementia's and all other disorders ending in "itis". This is the largest single grouping with subgroups further developed in the sections below. Digestive disorders generate tremendous inflammation so this term in used below, in the second grouping too.

2. NMS for Digestive Diseases and Inflammatory Disorders: This category includes all diseases and disorders of the Gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, gastritis, G.E.R.D., colitis, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, Crohn's, many headaches, migraines, constipation, food allergies, asthma, GI Cancers, and many autoimmune symptoms and diseases. There is considerable overlap between the diseases that are dealt with under this group and the Inflammatory/Immune/Cardiovascular group, number 1 above. 

3. NMS for Depression, ADD/ADHD, Bi-polar, Schizophrenic and other Psychotic disorders, Neurological disorders, Cognitive Impairment, and some memory issues. This program is for anyone with a neurological, that is anything that is just not working well in the neurological sytem, their nerves, their brains, all of which relate to certain deficiencies.

4. NMS for Hormonal Balancing. This program included PMS, Infertility, Miscarriages, Pre-menopause, Menopausal, Menstrual (bleeding) Disorders. Additional bio-identical progesterone cream is used to supplement the diet to manage and recover from these disorders.

5. NMS for Pre-pregnancy, Pregnancy, and post pregnancy for nursing mothers. This program includes women who are preparing to get pregnant, would like to be pregnant, or who already are expecting a child. The guidelines are taken from three groups above as pregnancy is such a stressful event. Therefore, the hormonal imbalancing, immune weakening, inflammation stimulating, and neurological nutrients already not provided to the mother’s diet yet essential for the baby’s health all become hugely significant for the new little person’s health. The need for a great diet and tremendous supplementation of whole food fruits and vegetables couldn’t be more important or overstressed.

6. NMS for Cardiovascular and arterial diseases of all kinds: This is a subset of the first grouping above, deals specifically with the research surrounding cardiovascular heath and nutrient requirements for health. There are additional hormonal issues with cardiovascular problems, often misunderstood by traditional medicine and made worse by our poor undernourished diets and overfed population.

7. NMS for Cancer Patients and Cancer Survivors Still Recovering: This group is also a subset of the first group above. Cancer patients are subject first to the issues of a failed immune system then to the specific issues related to hormonal, or excessive oxidation, or degenerative issues related to the organ involved with the cancer. The Women’s health section will deal with breast, ovarian, uterine, and prostate cancers. The Digestive disease grouping will address cancers of the GI tract. There remaining cancers will generally be discussed in this grouping.

8. NMS for Yeast and Fungal overgrowth: This program steps through the underlying causes and some working solutions for this very difficult and for many long term illness.

Most of our problems do overlap and the underlying insufficiency of need nutrients due to an insufficient dietary intake of high quality whole foods causes illness to form over time. Really, though we believe that we are getting away with eating poorly, I don't believe that very many of us do. The disadvantage of our culture is that we are not connecting the dietary choices with the illnesses that we are experiencing en-mass. Somehow we believe, erroneously, that what we eat in junk is ok because we eat enough other good food....or don't think it matters. But as certain as I am writing this, neither of those perceptions are true. We need what we need nutritionally to be healthy and to believe otherwise probably doesn't make it so.
