Celebrities entertain and these days, also educate us on the illnesses they face. Find out about the illnesses that your favorite celebrities face and how Body Ecology could help them.

There’s no question that celebrities capture our attention. And since they are in the limelight, we often learn about illnesses and diseases they have struggled with. While media attention can be overwhelming, many stars have turned the spotlight into an opportunity to educate people about illness and recovery.

Our hats go off to those celebrities!

In this article, we highlight some of your favorite celebrities, the illnesses they have faced and how Body Ecology could help them.

Actress Halle Berry: Type 2 Diabetes1– Known for her roles in the movies: Monster’s Ball, X-Men and Die Another Day, the 43 year old actress learned she had Type 2 diabetes at the age of 23. When working on the set of TV show Living Dolls in 1989, Halle Berry collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. She then went into a 7-day diabetic coma after which, she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the blood sugar is abnormally and chronically elevated. Basically there is too much sugar out in the bloodstream yet not enough in the cells, causing extreme fatigue.

Body Ecology Solution for Type 2 Diabetes: The Body Ecology Way of Life is ideally suited as a roadmap back to health, wellbeing and balance. Our antifungal diet is without a doubt the perfect diet for a diabetic because diabetics have a systemic yeast infection called Candidiasis. The Body Ecology Diet is sugar-free, mineral-rich and also helps conquer this dangerous blood borne infection, candida.

As you follow our way of life, as tens of thousands now do, your blood sugar will naturally become balanced and you will experience many other benefits including weight loss.

Craig Ferguson, Mel Gibson, Richard Dreyfuss, Kurt Cobain, Jim Carey (and many more) – Depression: A long list of actors, musicians, artists and athletes have suffered from depression and related disorders, like bipolar disorder.2

Body Ecology Solution for Depression: Healing your inner ecosystem is one of the best ways to boost your mood. The Body Ecology diet is rich in important nutrients like essential fatty acids and B vitamins that help boost your mood, but more importantly, the goal is to heal your digestive tract and balance your inner ecosystem.

According to Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride, “No system in your body functions in isolation. They are all connected, so it makes logical sense that all of our systems (cardio-vascular, digestive, nervous systems) operate together and affect one another.

“Most psychiatric patients suffer from digestive problems. They have unhealthy inner ecosystems where there is an overgrowth of bad bacteria, yeast and fungus; they cannot digest food properly. This creates a large number of neurotoxins that can move from their intestines through the damaged intestinal lining into the blood stream where the toxins are carried to the brain.

“This reality makes digestive health imperative for anyone with a mental disorder. Correcting digestive health can help treat the disorder, and in some cases heal it.”

Former President Ronald Reagan: Alzheimer’s Disease3 – In 1994, former President Ronald Reagan disclosed that he had Alzheimer’s disease, shocking the nation. Alzheimer’s slowly creeps up on mostly older people, robbing them of their memories, their ability to function day to day, and eventually their lives.

By the age of 65, 1 in 10 people have Alzheimer’s, and by age 85, nearly half of all people do.4

Elizabeth Hasselback: Celiac Disease7 – Former star of the hit TV show, Survivor and current co-host of TV’s The View, Elizabeth Hasselback recently revealed her decade long battle with celiac disease.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that 2 million people in the US (or 1 in 133 people) have celiac disease, possibly more due to under diagnosis.8

Celiac disease (also called celiac sprue) is an autoimmune disease that results in the body attacking its own small intestine whenever you eat products containing gluten (e.g., wheat, rye, spelt, kamut and barley).

While 31-year old Hasselback has recently written a book called The G Free Diet, that details going on a gluten free diet, we feel there is more to healing and preventing celiac disease.

Body Ecology Solution for Celiac Disease – Body Ecology is a  gluten-free, casein-free, sugar-free and processed foods-free nutritional program that can provide the missing link to celiac disease and gluten intolerance. The key is not simply about avoiding gluten, but also, healing your digestion by building a population of gluten-loving bacteria in your intestines.
