ANA is a blood test that detects antinuclear antibodies. The immune system creates these antibodies to fight infection (viruses and bacteria), however the antibodies can get confused and start attacking your own body.
Once your immune system starts attacking your body, different diseases can appear. For example, Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus or multiple sclerosis.
Even though many healthcare providers consider that ANA levels cannot change. This patient was able to change the ANA levels through diet alone.
By eliminating inflammatory substances from the diet, the immune system stops being damaged, which leads to disappearance of symptoms and a negative ANA.

Hemoglobin A1C or also known simply as A1C. Is a test commonly used to determine if somebody has diabetes and to check how the diabetes is progressing or improving. This test is usually done every 3 months.

Ranges are as follows:
- less than 5.7% is considered normal
- 5.7-6.4% is pre-diabetes range
- more or equal to 6.5% is diabetes

Improving on A1C percentage is a difficult task that requires a lot of discipline and self-control. Medications alone will not have such a drastic improvement as seen on the example below. A proper diet is a way more powerful tool to improve and resolve diabetes.

Glycine is an amino acid, which is obtainable though eating protein and some other foods.

Glycine is in part responsible for glutathione synthesis. Glutathione is a substance created in the liver by the 3 amino acids: Glycine, Glutamate and Cysteine. Glutathione is essential for the immune system’s functioning and is also a potent antioxidant.

Glycine can prevent muscle breakdown by increasing the levels of creatine in the body. Creatine is what gives a continuous supply of energy to your muscles and other organs.
