"FFIS" is a phenomenon where one-size-fits-all symptom relief marketers encourage unsuspecting consumers to risk their health by eating foods that are either generally unhealthy or specifically incompatible with any individual's metabolism, while they promise to relieve the symptomatic consequences that one will suffer from eating these foods with their special wonder drug. This type of drug is specifically designed to allow you to survive the discomfort of eating the wrong foods, which would normally (without the drug) cause a great deal of discomfort to eat and digest.
A good example of FFIS can be seen in a current TV commercial for antacids that encourages the viewer to eat the foods that we already know will typically cause acid indigestion, heartburn, digestive distress (and worse); as the advertisement promises, taking this antacid drug in advance will protect us from experiencing painful symptoms. "Go right ahead and eat that 'bad' (i.e., incompatible) food," the commercial seems to be blatantly telling us. "After all, if you take this drug you won't feel the food hurting you—so, based on this commercial, why worry?"
This incredibly irresponsible suggestion encourages us to indulge in an unhealthy practice, where one can use artificial pain-relief drugs to block the body's messages that certain foods we are eating are damaging us! Don't buy into this unbelievable insanity if you value yourself in the least! in this particular commercial, the kids are about to put away a serving of greasy fast foods, while one parent questions the other for ordering the same fast foods as their kids. Both parents openly acknowledge that these foods are exceedingly unhealthy (and will cause stomach upset and other problems once eaten). They obviously don't value their own kids' health by endorsing the intake of indigestible fast foods! What's worse, the parent explains to her friend that it's okay for her to eat this junk food, since she's got a drug that will block the pain it causes!
in another prime example of FFIS, an advertisement encourages the consumption of certain milk products, which many people cannot digest due to lactase deficiencies. Promoters push a so-called "drug"— actually an enzyme complex—to "help" one eliminate digestive stress from these products.
The apparent analogy present in this mentality is that, again, it's okay to indulge in foods that are completely incompatible with your Phenotype (body type) and biochemical individuality, and which are ultimately harmful to your health. Chemical incompatibility causes uncomfortable symptoms and physical damage, all of which does not seem important anymore, when you can cover up the problem by popping pills.
In effect, the promoters' drug products in the above examples (and many others commonplace in our society) artificially "cover up" your body's natural defensive responses (that is, pain that you experience consciously) to incompatible foods. This natural defensive pain response to incompatible foods is termed "symptoms" or "dis-ease." If you willingly go along with the logic behind such advertisements as those described above, then with drugs in hand you can literally "force feed" your body with food that it would normally reject...and you will (seemingly) get away with it—at least from a symptomatic standpoint.
But you really don't get away with anything when you consider the metabolic damage these foods cause to your system; such damage will still occur, whether or not you experience painful symptoms. When your body hurts, it's trying to let you know that something is wrong' In the case of all pain relief medications, conscious symptoms are artificially reduced while the root physical cause of the pain goes uncorrected and is allowed to progress. At least with food-induced pain the cure is most obvious: simply avoid incompatible (or symptom-provoking) foods and/or food combinations! Prevention is the key.
Metabolic Typing and Profiling science systematically sorts out food incompatibilities for each individual, revealing whether food-reiated symptoms are due to genetic factors or actually due to other measurable metabolic and nutritional inconsistencies which can be overcome naturaily. Typing and Profiling will answer the question "is this food right for my body or is my body not right for this food?" It also answers the question, "can my body be made right for this food?" In all cases, understanding your biochemical individuality can ensure optimal health. Avoiding foods or food combinations, which require pain-relief medication, is a quantum leap in the right direction for eternal wellness.
