focuses of medicine, yet we’ve made no real effort to properly educate patients about their constitutional self. The average patient knows little about good nutrition and even less about their own body, mind, and spirit. When it comes to fixing our broken health care system, patient education in constitution coding might be a good place to start.
    In order for each of us to become more willing participants in our own disease prevention, we must become more attuned to our specific individual needs. Without a greater understanding of constitution, there can be no disease prevention. Before we can truly become well as a nation, we must first recover from our chronic “one size fits all” hangover.

    I continue to hear patients complain that when they leave my office following food allergy testing, they return to their families, friends, and work associates, only to be grilled by them with unending questions about not being able to eat certain foods—“But I thought dairy had calcium,” and “What’s wrong with whole wheat?” These questions only reflect a culture that has been programmed to view life solely from a homogenous perspective. To most, energy coding may not seem like such an important issue, but it represents a shift in consciousness that will enable us to take a quantum leap far beyond the imbalanced state of our present health care and lifestyle models.
    I have counseled thousands of people whose health conditions were previously either misdiagnosed or simply missed altogether, because the nuances of their personal energy codes were not deciphered. I once worked with a young boy who was dealing with life-threatening anaphylactic peanut allergies. When a few of his teammates on the soccer field decided it wouldn’t be a big deal to give him a cookie with a few peanuts in it, they soon discovered that they were very wrong. The boy was rushed to the emergency room, but passed away a short time later.
    His was an immunoglobulin E allergy (IgE). This type of food allergy is rare and represents only 1.5 percent of all food allergy reactions, but, as the anecdote illustrates, it is potentially fatal. Meanwhile, some experts estimate that as many as 80–90 million Americans suffer from less-threatening immunoglobulin G (IgG) food allergies. IgG allergies are the causal root of gas, bloating,constipation, and headaches, among many other ailments, but what’s more significant is that they are often major contributing factors to a variety of more serious conditions. The most important point of all this is that some 80 percent of those with IgG allergies remain undiagnosed. The reason why we are failing to reach beyond these health limitations is our lack of energy awareness, and the absence of personal coding.
    The recent defeat of Proposition 37 in the state of California represents a potential violation of personal coding. This failed referendum establishes a chilling precedent destined to spawn great regret in the not-too-distant future.
    Currently, 85 percent of the corn and 91 percent of the soybeans grown in America are genetically modified. About 70 percent of food products on grocery store shelves contain at least one genetically modified ingredient. In many cases, these foods are being bioengineered to include ingredients from other foods. For example, manufacturers have experimented with splicing a gene from deepwater fish into strawberries. Many thousands of years of survival specialization has allowed deepwater fish to develop a protective gene that keeps them from freezing to death. Bioengineering researchers are now looking to splice the fish’s antifreezing gene into strawberries to prevent spoilage. Sounds all well and good, but what about those strawberry consumers who are allergic to fish?
    California’s Proposition 37 would have required labeling for all genetically modified foods. In my opinion, this would have given consumers and emergency room
