Start by following the dietary and lifestyle advice in Gillian's books.
Avoid sugar, refined carbohydrates, processed foods, alcohol, caffeine,
chocolate, salt and additives. Eat a diet of whole natural foods including
whole grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, fruit, vegetables, sea vegetables, fish
and lean meats and drink water and herbal teas. Eat small, regular meals and
snacks rather than large meals.

Particularly important is the balance of fats in your diet; the omega 3 fats
are anti-inflammatory so include foods rich in these such as oily fish,
avocadoes, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts, flax seeds and their cold
pressed oils. Supplements of evening primrose oil, fish oil, zinc, magnesium
and B6 can also be helpful. There are various herbs that can help as well
but it is best to consult a practitioner before taking any of these.

Get some fresh air, daylight and exercise every day. Dry skin brushing is
great for getting the lymphatic system moving so do this before you shower.

There are lots of ideas in Gillian's books so read You are what you eat, You
are what you eat - the cookbook and The Ultimate Health plan for lots of
inspiration and recipe ideas. Gillian's new Food Bible is a must for every
household as it covers many aspects of food and health and has an A-Z of
illnesses and what to do about them.

In order to get specific and personal advice it is necessary to consult a
nutritional therapist for a face to face consultation. They will take your
whole case history and will explain what the imbalances are that may be
causing the symptoms and will give nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
to help restore balance. Go to www.bant.org.uk or www.ion.ac.uk to find one
in your area

Always consult with your GP or medical specialist before embarking on any
nutritional programme. Our information is for educational purposes, not
