I'd like to share what we did to successfully battle my mother's ovarian cancer. The doctors didn't offer great hope and threw the usual offerings of removal (operate) and chemo. We quickly learnt that the medical fraternity don't like being questioned. We knew we had to do more, and mum is living proof that you can do more using nutrition. Tino, Manly, Australia, April 2011
I have struggled with weight gain for over 10 years. At 32, I weighed 91kg and was desperate. I had tried all the diets...Everyone thought I didn't have the will power. I felt useless. A friend suggested I test for food intolerance. Once I discovered I was intolerant to 14 different foods I hit the jackpot. Thanks to your health program I lost 2kg a week for the first 3 weeks and I'm still losing 1kg a week after 12 weeks...I'm not even counting calories...just avoiding the foods that are toxic to my body.

Thank you for helping us test our daughter for food intolerance. Her ADHD is a thing of the past. Dean & Marie, Austin, Texas. August 2010
Taryn-Hall Smith has launched a new website of diet plans. HER son's chronic asthma and her own debilitating arthritis forced Taryn Hall-Smith to rethink her diet at the age of 37. They had both been prescribed large amounts of drugs to combat their conditions but Mrs Hall-Smith knew there had to be another answer. Her research into nutrition over two years led to the launch last month of her new website, thecontentedbody.com. Initially, her idea was to create a strict diet-based, illness-prevention plan for her family. But then Mrs Hall-Smith joined with Sydney-based nutritionist Chris Clark to offer a business website with more than 20 diet plans for chronic illnesses and food intolerances. The pair will put two new diet plans on the site every month, and each one will offer an eight-week diet plan with more than 200 recipes. Future diet plans will be developed and prioritised according to demand (votes) by website visitors.
Mrs Hall-Smith said she had never focused on nutrition until after her diagnosis. She said friends often would visit nutritionists after hearing of her experiences, and would change their diet with similar results. "It made me think there was something to this - that it couldn't just be a coincidence," she said. "It made me angry that we weren't fully informed of what you could do with nutrition."
Mrs Hall-Smith said some people believed chronic illnesses could never be overcome by diet, but she attributed improvements to her family's health to better nutrition and cutting out foods they had developed intolerances to. She said the most common food intolerances included wheat, gluten, dairy and yeast. Foods such as broccoli and ginger were also common problems, she said. She said many of these intolerances were too difficult to detect and anyone who suspected they had one should see their health practitioner for a test. "The biggest mistake people make is guessing what food they are intolerant to," she said.
Thecontentedbody.com is part of a growing industry in natural therapies which offer alternatives to mainstream medicine. Caloundra-based Suncoast Natural Therapies owner Melanie Lindsay said nutrition treatments had become increasingly popular on the Coast. "People are definitely becoming more aware of the benefits of natural therapies," Mrs Hall-Smith said.
She said food intolerances were a big problem on the Coast but most people could be treated with minor changes to their diet. "The problem is that most people are eating too much food from the one food source, and they're building an intolerance to it," she said.
Mrs Lindsay stressed the need for people to seek advice from nutrition experts to avoid confusion. "You have to make sure the information is correct," she said. "There's a lot of information out there that is incorrect."
Maroochydore's Sunshine Coast Dietetics dietician Sally Ann Livock said people needed to ask themselves if a strict diet actually matched their needs. "There are some people whose lives are absolutely affected by food intolerances, but there are some whose day-to-day lives won't be affected," she said. "Ask yourself, is this going to be something I can sustain. Is it asking me to change my life drastically?"
...a new and natural online solution is at your fingertips
An exciting and innovative new website company, The Contented Body, launches this month to help educate people on how to heal themselves the natural way.
"We've forgotten what Hippocrates told us - let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food".
That's according to Taryn Hall-Smith, founder of The Contented Body. "My personal health experiences set me off on the road to help others as I realised that nutritional medicine works on minor symptoms like eczema or headaches as well as really chronic disease like arthritis and asthma".
With the medical industry trained in drug therapy rather than prevention of illness and consumers in the habit of a ‘quick fix', health conditions are being treated with band aid solutions. The Contented Body has downloadable online health programs which address the cause of symptoms and chronic health conditions from recurrent headaches, eczema, PMS or weight gain to arthritis, diabetes and bowel cancer. The only way to help chronic illness is to address the cause of them. "We can even cure your food intolerance for you".
Taryn began researching the effects of nutrition on health over 4 years ago when her 8 month old son suffered with chronic asthma and then she was diagnosed with arthritis at the age of 37. Through much research, trial and error and sleepless nights, Taryn put together a health program for herself and her son. Both are entirely off medication today and their health prospects are excellent. Taryn then teamed up with a qualified nutritionist to devise health programs for many different conditions, always concentrating on nutrition, supplements, undetected food intolerances and many lifestyle changes.
As we all become more concerned about our health prospects, the toxins we consume and the stress we place ourselves under, The Contented Body provides the easy answers and guidance you need. "You've no idea how great it is to be able to take back control of your health," says Taryn.
Chris Clark is the site's qualified nutritionist who has had similar experiences. "I'm living proof that food can heal and that with the right advice, niggly symptoms and chronic illness can be greatly improved or even cured".
She has not only devised the Health Programs with Taryn but has devised the food intolerance I.D Kit for babies, breastfeeding mums, young children and adults. As around 70% of us have undetected food intolerance these days (due to increased chemical exposure through pesticides and personal care products, stress and overuse of drugs like antibiotics and the contraceptive pill), identifying food intolerances is a key step in curing and managing illness.
The Contented Body provides browsers with personal 12-week Online Health Programs with a step-by-step guide on how to heal naturally. It includes information on your condition (arthritis, diabetes, asthma, weight gain, skin conditions, PMT, food intolerance), an 8-week Eating Plan with recipes for your specific condition, advice on the right form of exercise, the correct supplements and even a suitable alternative practitioner for your specific condition if required.
Whether you're at home, eating out or travelling the world, The Contented Body will help you stick to your plan through constant support during the 12 week online program.
