Excerpt from The Facial Analysis Diet Plan
"Based on German theories that draw on the principles of biochemistry - the scientific study of the chemical processes that occur in all living organisms - facial analysis is a technique used to detect certain food intolerances as well as digestive problems caused by mineral deficiencies. It is an accurate diagnostic tool which is a key factor in the treatment of disease. It's not difficult - we have all practised it at some stage; puffy eyes, dark rings and paleness of cheeks are all familiar signs of an imbalance of some kind.
"Facial analysis is a technique whereby the condition of our body's inner organs can be read and diagnosed by studying the face. Patches of colour, markings, lines, pigmentation and wrinkles are all signs of an imbalance of essential minerals (I'll come on to these a little later on). The fingernails, hands, feet and tongue can also be used as diagnostic tools - after all, years ago the family doctor would ask you to stick out your tongue before examining any other part of the anatomy. But why do the signs of imbalance manifest themselves through the skin? And why the face?
"The face is a particularly sensitive part of the anatomy and is affected by many fluctuations within the body. It is the lack of one or more of the essential minerals that create abnormal conditions from within which manifest outwardly through the face. When the appropriate minerals are administered, health is restored. If the minerals are not replaced, severe allergies and/or illness may occur."
