I started this diet a month ago with a stubborn cold that I had gotten over
the holdiays and couldn't seem to get rid of.  2 days into it the cold was
gone and I have not had a sniffle since.  I think one of the reasons so many
people get colds in December is because of all of the sugar consumed in
cookies, candy and other holiday treats.  These things aren't treats at all
- they are bad tricks we play on our bodies!
