. . . why gluten in your diet could be making you fat! The buzz at the Beyond Health office these days is from customers who tell us they’ve been losing 10, 20 and even 30 pounds by doing nothing else except cutting out wheat! Of course we’re all biologically unique, and this doesn’t work for everyone, but wheat (and the gluten in wheat) isn’t healthy for anyone, so if you’re looking to lose excess weight, going gluten-free is certainly worth a try! Why would eating wheat make you fat? Well, you might be one of the up to 50% of the US population that has a gluten allergy or sensitivity and is “gluten intolerant.” Food allergies and sensitivities can cause both water and fat retention. I’ve known people who lost almost 10 pounds in the first week after giving up gluten, most of it water-weight. It takes longer to release the fat, but that comes off in time too. Also, we often become addicted to foods we’re allergic to, leading to intense cravings for these very foods and compul…

If you are more than five pounds over your normal weight, you need to read my book Never Be Fat Again.  A catastrophic epidemic of overweight disease is sweeping America.  More than two-thirds of all Americans are overweight.  This is not a cosmetic problem - it is a serious, chronic and degenerative disease.  Even a few extra pounds will accelerate aging, increase susceptibility to cancer and other diseases, increase disability and shorten life.  Overweight is not a benign disease, and no one should be or needs to be fat.  Lean people live longer, have less disease, less disability, more energy, and a higher quality of life. While millions spend billions trying to lose weight, this epidemic is getting worse every year.  More than one-third of our children are overweight.  Because of this, life expectancy is expected to turn down, after two hundred years of increases. When I look at this problem, I wondered why, after all those diets and all that money, time, effort, diet books,…

. . . they're toxic, and you don't need them! For all too many people it's hay fever time of year again -- time to reach for the Claritin, the Allegra, the Zyrtec to combat sneezing, stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and fatigue. But like other drugs, these antihistamines are toxins that interfere with normal biochemistry. They can cause both minor and major symptoms including drowsiness and fatigue, dizziness, headaches, difficulty in concentrating, stomach upset, blurred vision, dry mouth, difficulty urinating, constipation and even seizures, hypertension and irregular heartbeat. The good news is you don't need to use toxic drugs to find symptom relief. The even better news is you can say goodbye to allergies forever. I've helped lots of people to free themselves of allergies. Here's how I did it: I taught them the fundamentals of healthy living that you can now find in Never Be Sick Again and my other books. I got them on a high-quality supplement program that covered the basics --…

"It would be a mistake to view Raymond Francis' Never Fear Cancer Again as a book solely about preventing cancer,” says Blogcritics.org. Here, Blogcritics writes an extremely informative book review and explains why Francis believes conventional medicine lacks success when treating cancer, yet this book is not solely about cancer.

Imagine if there were a magic potion that was: nontoxic, inexpensive, had no side effects, and worked to prevent aging, colds, depression, diabetes, flu, multiple sclerosis, obesity, and osteoporosis and was proven to prevent four out of five cases of cancer.  Most of us would take such a potion daily if it existed. Vitamin D is that amazing magical potion.  -- Raymond Francis, Never Fear Cancer Again, pp. 311-312.Around this time of year, Newsclips is usually talking about vitamin D and immunity. Keeping you cold and flu-free throughout the winter months has been shown to be one of vitamin D’s most useful and remarkable abilities. But did you know that this antioxidant vitamin can also prevent cancer?According to scientific studies, vitamin D deficiency plays a role in causing at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as in causing many, many other diseases, while levels of vitamin D up to around 60-80 ng/ml have been shown to virtually eliminate breast cancer.Unfortunat…

. . . a misleading new study from CanadaAmericans keep getting fatter. In the past 15 years adult obesity has approximately doubled in 17 states according to a survey sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Twenty years ago, not one state had an obesity rate of more than 15%. Now, only Colorado, with 19.8% obese, has an obesity rate of less than 20%. In twelve states, the obesity rate is above 30%.As obesity becomes more normal, it's become more socially acceptable and less cause for concern. In the same way that many people consider themselves healthy even though they're taking several different medications, the overweight and even the obese now tend to see themselves as fundamentally healthy. A new study from Canada feeds this misperception.Published last August in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, this study used a new rating system called the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) to categorize the obese. It puts them into five categories according to the prese…
