Aloe Vera juice...

I know you will not like this one, but if you fast an entire day while drinking a quart of prune juice and a gallon of distilled water to flush out your system, you will probably feel better.

I have heard that gluten intolerance is quite common but very rarely diagnosed.  I have a family member who suffered from it for years - called celiac disease I think - and just recently was diagnosed.  She changed her diet and some very unpleasant symptoms disappeared.

How about bread mold?  That is about as homeopathic a treatment you can get.  What kind of idiot would eat moldy bread when he is sick?  But then, where would we be without penicillin?  Many herbal cures have a sound chemical foundation which, if the MDs can see past mocking them, can end up in a pill with a name sufficiently weird that people consider it 'scientific' and acceptable.

Example: in the morning I have a bowl of Frosties (which is the only thing that can get me going for the day), however this sometimes doesn't agree with me as quick as 5 mins after eating it.  We know that it is the Frosties and not anything eaten from the night before as I am empty most of the time.  I need to eat every hour or two because of my stupidly fast metabolism.

Here's how I start my day.  First a 3 mile walk in the morning.  Then breakfast consists of Milk, some raw oatmeal, a banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter, a little honey, and some cinnamon.  Put it all in a blender and puree.  Makes for a protein rich shake with enough complex carbohydrates to give me energy and liquified so as to be easily digested. Then a ten minute exercise routine and I am ready to go.

I try to walk to work when the weather allows. It's a nice half mile (Swedish mile) and it makes breakfast taste better.

Is that walk open country side or concrete jungle?
