We think of the Alpha Nutrition Program as a personal technology of health restoration and health maintenance. The program is a form of software, designed with the idea of re-programming your body to feel and function well. The central feature of the program is diet revision, a set of routines designed to achieve several health goals simultaneously.

The program has also become a diagnostic and therapeutic standard. Anyone can explore the possibility that a health-problem is related to his or her food supply by using the program. If the diet revision advocated by the program alleviates symptoms, you know that food was involved in the cause of your symptoms and your disease. You may not know exactly how your original diet caused the problem, but you find out how to make it better.
We recognize a set of general health reasons for doing the program and another set of specific disease-related reasons. The program allows you to solve a variety of health problems in the form of self-directed therapy. The most encompassing reason for doing the program is to feel and function better. While we are focused on improving health by changing food choices and eating behaviors, we also recognize that important changes in food selection involve other changes in attitudes, personal, and social values. If individual changes become more common, we recognize that the changes we advocate will have political and economic impact.

Most of the people who have pursued the program have been ill for several years and wanted to get better. Several thousand people have contributed their experience to the evolving program and have done well. Through their efforts, we have learned about the process of diet change. We have also recognized a remarkable diversity of health problems that improve with diet revision.

Benefits of the Alpha Nutrition Program
We have been impressed, pleased, and sometimes surprised by the positive impact of Alpha Nutrition in eight major areas of health concern:

* Resolution of some of the most common adult health problems such as asthma, eczema, hives, chronic rhinitis, chronic fatigue, migraine and tension headaches, indigestion, irritable bowel, chronic diarrhea, fibromyalgia, edema, and sleep disorders

* Resolution of health, learning, and behavioral problems in children. Food problems start in early infancy and continue to develop into major health problems as children grow into an increasingly synthetic, contaminated and polluted environment.

* Significant relief from several major chronic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.
 
* Remarkable pain relief. Some chronic pain disorders are caused by a faulty food supply. This is the most surprising of our discoveries. Pain in all parts of the body, from the specific patterns of migraine or joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis to the non-specific pains that attack people mysteriously in the head, chest, abdomen, arms, or legs all have improved with diet revision therapy.

* A solution for food-related illness and malnutrition problems in aging patients that stem from loss of interest in food, disorganized eating patterns, drug side effects, and symptoms from food allergy mechanisms that may lead to food avoidance.

* Relief from emotional disturbances and mental disorders has been another surprising discovery. Often foggy minds, irritability, anxiety, panic disorder and depression will improve with diet revision.

* Relief from eating disorders and other addictive eating and drinking behaviors. The program has been used in the treatment of bulimia, anorexia, and recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.

* Successful weight management: even though the initial design of the program was not concerned with weight loss as a primary goal, the program proved to be successful in achieving weight management goals.

We have also been encouraged and gratified to discover than many people who were successful in applying the program, used the experience for personal growth. Many patients began the Alpha Nutrition Program after years of chronic illness and were despondent; some had lost hope. With proper diet revision, their symptoms improved, their minds cleared, their energy returned, their zest for life was renewed and a whole new phase of personal growth began.
