Re: Dale: Complex Carbohydrates.

[Guest guest]

Hi Mama:

I know that many accept Mercola as their alternative medicine guru, but I've

seen stuff at his site that is unabashed trash. I would search elsewhere for

solutions to problems if I were you.

Most no grain diets mean no wheat or gluten. Brown rice (which is a grain) is

often used as an alternative to wheat/gluten and the Macrobiotic diet uses that

as its core and claims all sorts of healing. However, the Macrobiotic diet has

also been proven to lack a balance of nutrients and I have friends who were on

it for more than a year who felt better once they were off of it.

If you are interested in rebuilding and restoring your liver, for whatever

reason or whatever the cause, there is nothing better than Milk Thistle and

there is nothing cheaper. Do a Google search on that along with " liver " and you

will get a wealth of information.

Dale (or anyone else who can help), I was wondering if you could shed some light

on how one can do a 'no grain' diet as Dr. Mercola advocates but still fulfill

the requirement for a 'complex carbohydrate' as you described above. Or is it

possible to get the things the liver needs through other sources?

Thanks! )

Yes, by eating vegatables. They are complex carbohydrates it's just that some

like carrots and corn have a bit more simple sugars compared to some other

vegetables but these are not simple like sugar nor void of nutritional value.

Greens and beans certainly get you a complex carbohydrate too.

If you get an opportunity to get a copy of Dr Cabot's " The liver Cleansing Diet "

I think you see quite a variety of foods that you would be able to eat and stay

away from wheats too. Wheat give me heartburn around 45 minutes after eating it

and milk causes me a day or two of IBS after consuming it.

So for myself I have a pretty limited stock of foods available to me but seem to

be doing just fine for the past number of years now.

Such as???

I'm one who accepts Mercola as my alternative medicine guru, but I'm

willing to accept he's not right on every issue. I'm interested to

hear where you disagree with Mercola.

It's been 3 or 4 years since I found that he posted as gospel a report by

another " alternative " med guy that was totally false and an out an out lie.

Mercola did absolutely no investigation of the report at all. I can't remember

what it was, but I had done some of my own research.

The majority of what Mercola posts is good information but he is so anti-MD that

according to him nothing that an MD does is beneficial and I've seen downright

lies on his site in relation to MD's. There are many in the world who feel the

same way regarding MD's but I simply try to find a balance.

Great! I consume plenty of vegetables and vegetable juice. So carrots and corn

are okay in moderation??

I have a copy already. I'll go dig it out. Thanks Dale )
