one of the best investments you can make to your health is taking a living multi-vitamin (i use GARDEN OF LIFE brand) and taking a "greens" shake to start each day (I use EARTH'S PROMISE brand b/c other brands taste unbearable, whereas this one is sweet). This kick-starts your digestive system (which can consume a whole lot of your body's energy) for the upcoming meals. it contains fruits, grasses, vegetables, seaweed, and many other crucial "super foods" that we certainly don't get enough of (especially when many of these foods are "out-of-season"). Fresh is always ideal, but these are the next best (opposed to not getting enough of them). Eat PROTEINS for breakfast. throw out any notions you have of "american" breakfast foods- we stink at nutrition! other countries eat soup, bean and egg burritos, rice, yogurt, oatmeal, fish, nuts, etc,etc. and it's for good reason- we need that filling, energizing protein as our first meal of the day. if there is only one time you concentrate on protein, make sure it is breakfast! Avoid caffiene and sugar (including white, refined carbs) as much as humanly possible. Use 100% grains, instead. There are also natural alternatives to sweets (REAL maple syrup in my oatmeal, LOCAL, UNHEATED honey in my mint tea, etc) If all of this sounds sensible to you (as it has proven to be for me and my family), you should read THE MAKER'S DIET by Jordan Rubin. That is where i got my start to health and healing. Hope i could help in even some small way. P.S.- this could prove to be most helpful to your husband.....I hope all goes well.

You might think of trying some licorice tea or supplements. Your adrenals could be weak and licorice seems to help with this problem.
