Dear Health-Conscious Reader,
It seems every time you open a newspaper, turn on the TV or browse the Internet, you hear about a new discovery proving that healthy eating can prevent disease and slow aging.
But you don’t have to look much further to find the dark side of the story – the rates of obesity and diet-related diseases are skyrocketing.
What’s more, these illnesses – which were once incorrectly associated with age – are affecting people younger and younger. In fact, some children are even beginning to exhibit signs of heart disease!
Take a moment to consider the following statistics:
- A hundred years ago diabetes affected less than 0.01% of the U.S. population. Today, nearly 27% percent of the population has diabetes or pre-diabetes. And new cases have increased 90% in the last 10 years!
- In 1930 about 3,000 people in the U.S. died of heart disease. By 2005 heart attack and stroke killed 795,670 people. While our population grew 144%, the number of deaths due to heart disease rose 26,422%
- A hundred years ago, cancer was responsible for only 3% of all deaths. Today, cancer is responsible for more than 20% of deaths in the U.S.
But these numbers are more than just statistics on a page…
Take a Look Around… What Do You See?
Take a moment to think back over the last 10 years of your life.
Do you know anyone who has had cancer? Have you known someone who died of a heart attack or has been debilitated by stroke? Have you witnessed Alzheimer’s steal the mind and memories of a loved one?
Chances are you answered yes to at least one of these questions.
In the coming years, hundreds of people you have met will die from these causes. Others will live the last 10 to 20 years of their life in pain, suffering and dementia… hobbling from one doctor’s appointment to the next.
It could even happen to you.
But listen to me very closely…
It Does NOT Have to Be this Way…
Nearly every disease that plagues modern man begins with what is on our plate. Most people are digging their own graves with a knife and fork.
But this DOES NOT have to happen. And it certainly does not have to happen to you and those you love.
You can change the course of your life and chart the course of your health with a few simple choices and a handful of easy healthy eating changes.
You can lose weight effortlessly. You can prevent disease in your body. You can reverse the symptoms of disease that may already be there. You can feel GREAT and have abundant energy!
And you are about to learn how…
Live By the Sword… Die By the Sword
In the last 15 years, we have learned more about the human body and the causes of disease than we have in the past thousand years. And we have technology to thank for it.
But as the saying goes: Live by the sword, die by the sword.
While technology has helped us learn more about nutrition and how the body works, it is also technology and the “advancements” in food science that have fueled the rise of chronic disease.
The improvements that were meant to make our lives “easier” and more convenient have come with a tradeoff. And that tradeoff was our health.
Mass production – from feedlots… to fish farms… to fake foods – has introduced an array of foreign substances into our diets… while stripping some of the most vital, disease-fighting compounds away.
The result has been a recipe for disease.
But all it takes is a little knowledge, the right tools, and a few simple healthy eating changes to ensure this never happens to you or the ones you love.
The good news is that regardless of your age or the “dis-eases” you have, you can protect and restore your health and burn away fat using the power of your plate.
Your Body is Being Constantly Renewed…
Your body is an amazing, dynamic machine:
- 50,000 cells in your body have died and been replaced, during the time it has taken you to read this one sentence
- The surface layer of your skin is recycled every two weeks
- Every three to five days your stomach gets a new lining
- Your entire liver is replaced about every 400 days.
- Your bones are constantly being rebuilt and your entire skeleton is replaced about every 10 years
Your body is in a constant state of renewal. And when you give your body exactly what it needs and avoid the things that harm it, the rate of renewal you will experience will astound you!
It doesn’t matter where you are today…
If you are overweight and want to lose fat… or unhealthy and you want to feel better. If you are worn down and you need more energy… or even if you are in top shape and you want to stay that way… this is exactly what you’ve been looking for!
In the next seven minutes I will show you a healthy eating program that is 100% guaranteed to restore your health, boost your energy and optimize your weight.
The Healing Power of Healthy Eating
The food you eat is not just calories that give you energy and fuel your body…
It is information, cellular fuel, immune support, free-radical defense, detoxification, hormonal balance, and glowing, supple skin… all wrapped up in a delicious, disease-fighting package.
That is, if you’re eating the right foods.
What if I told you that you can prevent Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, weight gain, premature aging, cataracts and macular degeneration, infertility and IBS… all in one meal?
Seem too good to be true? Well, it’s not…
While most chronic diseases may look very different on the surface, they are really just physical variations of the same underlying causes. When you eliminate the causes, disease doesn’t stand a chance.
I’ll get to that in a moment. But before I go on…
Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself…
My name is Kelley Herring. I am the founder and CEO of a company called Healing Gourmet.
I am also the Editor in Chief of a four-book series published by McGraw Hill on the power of foods and nutrients to promote health and protect against disease.
Over the years, I have become widely recognized as an expert on health and nutrition and what it takes to live a long, active and age-defying life.
But I didn’t start out to become a natural health expert. I was going to be a doctor. But faced with my own personal health emergency my faith in “modern” medicine was shaken.
A Five Year Old Doctor…
And a Very Disillusioned Pre-Med Student
It goes back a few years – actually 28 years – to the day I got a Fischer Price Doctor’s kit from the toy store.
Right away, I began to check my parent’s temperature… monitor my sister’s vital signs… and diagnose their various “ailments.” And from that day on, my goal was to become a doctor.
I never let go of that dream. And 14 years later, I was enrolled in the pre-medical program at Florida State University – majoring in biology and chemistry.
But it wasn’t long before I realized there was a dark side to medicine….
For all my life I had been very healthy. I never had more than the occasional cold and I always had a very high level of energy. As a teenager, I danced ballet daily, competed in dozens of competitions, and was a varsity cheerleader and gymnast.
Not once did I think about my health. But that all changed toward the end of my freshman year, when I became devastatingly ill.
A dismal, unrelenting cloud of sickness came over me. I was so weak I could hardly lift my body out of bed. I was constantly fatigued. And what began as a sore throat, progressed to open sores that trailed down my esophagus. I had to use a toxic numbing spray just to eat without tears.
To one degree or another, this went on for months. I wondered on a daily basis when the nightmare would end – or if it would end me.
A Pill for Every Ill… And Not a Cure in Sight
At that time, I wanted to be a doctor. So “doctors” were the first place I turned for healing. I can’t tell you how disappointed and disillusioned I became.
I began by visiting the university health clinic. Time after time they sent me away with another diagnosis, another recommendation to see a specialist, and with another prescription to fill.
I was put on antivirals, antibiotics, corticosteroids and recommended anti-depressants (since, of course, “depression” causes large, gaping sores in your throat). Even at 18 I knew that was hogwash. I never took the anti-depressants.
I was diagnosed with everything from strep throat, to hay fever to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). One doctor even suggested I could have AIDS, even though I NEVER did anything to put myself in that risk category.
But you know the one thing that NOT ONE DOCTOR out of dozens ever asked…
Kelley… Tell me about your lifestyle. What are you eating? What are you drinking? Has anything changed in your diet?
More than a dozen tests and prescriptions… one “specialist” after another… and NOT ONE doctor asked me what kind of fuel I was putting into my body or if anything had changed in terms of my lifestyle.
Looking back now, I understand why. Doctors aren’t trained to solve the problem; their job is primarily to deal with the symptoms.
So, after exhausting my options, and realizing that I had no one but myself to count on, I began taking a much deeper look at my life, my health and my diet.
What Had Changed?
I missed Mom’s cooking, that’s for sure. But other than that, I was pretty much on target, I thought. But delving deeper, I realized I was cutting some corners and adding some new “poisons” to my plate.
I had turned to campus hot dogs for quick meals between classes. And as a college freshman, I was attending beer parties on the weekends (gasp!).
I had found a lead in my own case. So, like any scientist, I isolated the variables, and gave it a shot. No more beer and no more campus hot dog quickies.
After eliminating those two things – and doing nothing more – the sores in my throat began to heal, I regained my strength and energy, and charted my course back to wellness.
It turned out that I had a wheat/gluten/malt sensitivity from the beer, coupled with assaults to my immune system from the sodium nitrites in the processed meat products.
While I am thankful the experience is behind me, I am grateful for what I learned. It opened my eyes and has led me to a lifetime of discovery. And little did I know that it would change my life forever.
I still graduated with that degree in biology and chemistry… but I no longer had an interest in becoming a “doctor”, chasing one symptom after another and putting people on a toxic blend of drugs.
I wanted to help people understand their health better… so they would never NEED a doctor. I wanted to help people heal. I wanted to help people prevent the devastating illnesses that are so closely associated with our diet and lifestyle.
The Biggest “Aha!” Moment of My Life…
I had just completed my degree as the “New Nutritional Frontier” began to dawn.
Technology was finally giving scientists the tools they needed to understand the thousands of compounds in food that have the ability to nourish and heal.
About that time, I was doing some post-graduate work and I needed a thesis topic. And there it was!
Foods contain unique nutrients that affect specific diseases.
Stumbling across this new world of nutritional science was the biggest “aha!” moment of my life. I saw an opportunity to pursue my love of science… and better yet, combine it with another lifelong passion… cooking!
I had finally found my life’s purpose… and most importantly, I knew that I could help thousands of people to enjoy total health and prevent disease for life!
Within just a few months, Healing Gourmet was born.
A lot has happened in the years since then. There have been exciting developments (like the book deals with McGraw Hill and an offer to do a TV show) and disappointing setbacks (like a last-minute denial from the National Cancer Institute for a grant and the challenge of funding the project on my own).
But we have always pressed on, continuing to develop a new way of thinking about food… and health. And that brings me to where we are today…
Through reviews of thousands of studies and working with some of the most cutting-edge minds in the fields of science and nutrition, the editors of Healing Gourmet have put together an indispensable guidebook to how foods work in your body to harm… or to heal.

Health or Disease?
It All Comes Down to “The Big Five”
You don’t just wake up one day with diabetes. You don’t catch cancer. And your memory isn’t here one day, and then gone the next.
All of these chronic illnesses take years, or even decades, of the same internal destructive processes before the diagnosis occurs.
We call these destructive internal processes “The Big Five” and within the The Food Cure healthy eating program, you will learn specifically (and deliciously!) how to tame these health foes.
Here they are:
- Inflammation: The Quiet Killer – Inflammation helps your body defend against invaders and repair injuries. But chronic inflammation is different. This quiet killer is the cornerstone of degenerative disease and physical aging. The good news is that the three primary causes of chronic inflammation are completely within your control. You’ll learn what they are… and dozens of delicious ways to tame the flames.
- Glycation: A Sticky Situation – When you consume too many carbohydrates or foods prepared in a certain way, compounds called advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) form. These sticky molecules speed up the aging process and cause a steady deterioration of your health. The good news is that it can be easy to guard against AGEs. You’ll learn the tasty ways to protect yourself.
- Oxidation: The Radical Robber – The average cell in your body is attacked by more than 10,000 free radicals every day. This “oxidation” process is perfectly natural. But left unchecked, it can lead to rapid physical aging and chronic disease. You’ll learn how to guard your precious cells with delicious, antioxidant-rich foods… and how to get your body to make more of its own antioxidant artillery.
- Depletion: The Silent Sapper – Researchers have shown that a deficiency of many key nutrients can mimic the same damage to your DNA as observed from exposure to radiation! If your body is missing nutrients, your health will suffer… Guaranteed! Learn why many of the plants and animal products we eat are nutritionally bankrupt… and how to get more bang from of every bite!
- Toxification: The Body Burdened – While the nutrients in our foods are decreasing, our exposure to harmful toxins is increasing. From the chemicals in our food and water, to the medicines we take and the products we put on our skin – our liver is on overload, and our health is paying the price. These toxins can cause disease, impair immunity, damage your hormonal system and even cause you to store fat. But there is a pollution solution. With good choices, you can keep the poison off your plate and put your internal detox machinery in high gear.
Most health books are packed with information…but lacking in good advice. In our 7-book series, you’ll get hundreds of tips on how you can put prevention into practice.
You will receive life-saving information and advice, all of it research-driven and scientifically proven.
You will have not only the knowledge, but the tools to change your lifestyle… and your life! This is exactly what you need to make dramatic and rapid changes to your health and body. All you have to do is follow along.
