Philosophy of the Plan

Elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection.
Consumption of fructose and purines often exceed the body’s ability to process them, and as a result, too much uric acid builds up in the bloodstream.
A diet low in fructose and purines and rich in anti-oxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols can bring uric acid levels under control and restore optimal metabolism in the body, preventing often life-threatening chronic disease.
