Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm frustrated by the conflicts between the blood type diet and the genotype diet, but I'm working on combining the two in my own way. There is also a genotype group Genotype_Diet/. It has been very quiet, but you might generate some activity by asking questions. But this group works too. A number of us are in both groups.. ________________________________ From: Professor Val <professorval@...> Sent: Mon, November 30, 2009 3:51:36 AM Subject: Re: Newbie  Thanks , Funny thing is that most of the things that I do for ER4YT I had been doing before I read the book because that's what my body seemed to require.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 thanks.. cant hurt to join both groups. I'll do that. [?] I was thinking of making an appointment with Dr. D so I can discuss the conflicts as well... from what I understand (and correct me if I'm wrong) the GenoType diet is a fine tuning of the O diet so it would make sense to defer to the GenoType diet although it's so much more restricting it could make one nuts.. I'm not a caffeine addict but sometimes I like a cup of decaf coffee. I was looking on line for some " herbal coffee " substitutes and most of them are wheat based (a no-no for us Os). I did find one that was not wheat based.. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried Teeccino Caffeine-Free Herbal Coffee??

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Kathy, thanks for the warm welcome! I drink water and herbal tea all day long so yes, that's a biggie! As for carbs-I really eat minimal carbs for sure already.. I'm hoping that further correcting the damage done while I had active insulin resistance will take place and help me to shed these extra pounds. Has anyone taken the Deflect supplement?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Welcome Val. Seems like you already have a good start. Don't hesitate if you have any questions. Some of us have been on here a while and don't mind answering questions. Not all of us are as qualified as others, like Kathy and Irene. We will be glad to help and encourage as we hear from you. Newbie Greetings all! I have been doing Dr. D's " diet " for a few weeks now although I've known about it for many years. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) about 12 years ago and after going on glucophage (850mg THREE times per day) I decided that medication was not the way to go. In changing my diet and exercising more regularly my system is back in sync and I do not have any symptoms of PCOS and the last check up I had showed no diabetes from the original Insulin Resistance diagnosis (check up was several years ago). Although my body seems to be back in some order, my weight never was. I have lost and gained several times in the 12 years but never kept it off. In speaking with my chiropractor/somatic expert, Dr. Mark Filippi, he recommended that I do a combo of Dr D's diet and giving my body a break from the intense exercise I had been doing for years now (weight training/cardio with a personal trainer 5 or 6 times per week). My body tightened up a bit but I was still visibly fat, wearing about the same size clothing, and was about the same weight. I realize that more muscle=leaner body and the scale doesnt matter as much but no one with a 5'4 frame feels comfortable carrying what I do. I am doing this diet to repair the years of damage I have apparently done on a cellular level with my crapola food choices. Even though I had already limited gluten & dairy, and eliminated sugar, artificial sweetner, and all soda for 6 years now, I can not shake the weight. Mark's son was greatly helped by Dr. D and he is actually good enough friends with him that he got him to appear on our radio show a few years ago (internet radio show I am not part of anymore) and it's taken me quite a while to LISTEN to what he said although I always felt it made excellent sense... So I started easing into the diet on Nov 13th and felt less bloated in about 2 days. When I weighed myself on Nov 24th I had lost 2 lbs already. Again, for me this is first and foremost about health and secondarily about weight...I want to feel more comfortable in my own body and with this extra weight I'm just not comfortable. To give you an idea of the amount I need to lose in order to not be clinically overweight anymore, I'd say 40 to 50 lbs. Thanks for having me! Val from NY -- " Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Try a week or so on even less carbs and see if that gives you a push. And you are getting some fats. Olive oil, mainly?

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Kathy, not sure if I could go much less with my carbs but I can sure give it a shot. I get 95% of my carbs from veggies and lower glycemic fruits *heavy on the veggies, lighter on the fruits). I'm still at work (ugh long day) and I'm having a typical dinner (to give you an example). I'm having a piece of grilled chicken, grilled veggies and broccoli rabe (LOVE that stuff!) I definetly have olive oil daily. It's my favorite oil for sure. I made a really nice salad dressing last night with olive oil, pecorino romano, dash of salt, garlic and onion powder. It really hit the spot! I actually use cold pressed organic olive oil as a facial moisturizer as well. It works great and doesn't clog pores. For lunch I made the most delish escarole and cannelini bean soup-boy that was good... I've asked my pal Mark to talk to Dr. D on Monday (he has an appt for his son) regarding the BT vs GT diet and how confusing it can be for those who have read both books. If Mark remembers to ask Dr D I'll be sure to let you know what he says. He's not likely to remember but stranger things have happened!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Kathy, I was working out with a personal trainer 6 days per week (she is a friend so I didn't have to pay...thankfully). She fit me in between her other clients. In the year and a half I did that, I firmed up a bit but really didn't lose a pound on the scale. It was frustrating! Now along with the proper diet I am walking. My homeopath/chiropractor doesnt want me lifting weights for 3 to 4 months while my body recovers with ER4YT diet... then I can add it back in. I am walking daily and doing yoga. I can't wait to get back into the weights. I really love that.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 No not at all. Detoxified Iodine is a VERY low mg dose (usually 150 mcg) "electrified" iodine. It will not work for full body saturation. It helps some with health issues but it has not been tested to be effective in combating high halide levels such as bromide. Lugol's is Iodine & Iodide. In a 5% solution you will receive 6.25 mgs / drop. Steph NEWBIE Hi All,I have 2 bottles of Cayce's Detoxified Iodine?Is this similar to Lugol's ? Any help is appreciated, thanking you in advance.BlessingsJackwww.Be-Mpowered.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I know the feeling, I don't do well in new groups so the only suggestion I have is to just be yourself and accept who you are in your 'space.' Caring too much about what others think is a road to be 'less' traveled. We cannot accurately imagine what others may think of us, and from experience, we are usually very wrong. When things are embraced as something that is all about us, we do ourselves a great disservice and others also. People often think of us more positively than we might percieve. I understand fat prejudice so the nervousness is understandable, BUT you have sisters and brothers at weight loss meetings that are not one's who are usually judgemental people, we understand and we are kind because we don't want others to be treated like we were treated. You certainly should find very kind & friendly people, so being yourself is much easier than being who you think you should be because you never know about 'shoulds.' Take care and embrace the experience, I think when you're ready to go home you will probably be so glad you attended because you will have met some new, perhaps life-long forever friends...Take care and enjoy....

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hello Chris Thank you for your welcome. I was already on HC and Armour when I visited Dr Hs clinic but I saw one of his doctors as he is lecturing now but has trained doctors up I believe. I take Nature-throid 2 and half grains at the moment and 10mc of HC. I am still quite ill and although I have had a lift now I am back on HC I am still in a great deal of pain and also have another cold. I get one infection after another. My fatigue is chronic. I have managed to put some washing on the line this morning and I almost collapsed after doing that small job. My last bloods showed TSH 1.09 T4 14.4 and T3 4.5 and this was considered to be quite remarkeable on 50mc of levothyroxine although I was in a wheelchair and struggling to cope. I cling onto the fact that things will get better because to suffer wityh such ill health for nearly twelve years and poor health before that takes some rising above. Three of my siblings are all hypothyroid but for them their bloods allowed the endo's to treat them immediately and they are fine on Levothoxine.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Do you have thyroid labs for the hypo diagnosis? What dose of thyroid medication are you taking? The patch test is not considered a valid test for iodine saturation or deficiency. The patch test also would not be responsible for any hypo symptoms you had today. Are you being treated by a doc with a protocol for increasing meds to start? Please read the new member files, it will answer a lot of questions.LinnOn Feb 24, 2011, at 7:12 PM, convictuz wrote: Hi Gang, I'm from Janie's site and I've been reading but not sure about dosing info.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Convictus... not sure what your name is... But from looking over at the Adrenal group, your tests show low cortisol in the noon, evening, and the night time! Low cortisol means that you are adrenal fatigued and I have been reading how you need to work on Adrenal Health along side of Thyroid health or it will not be optimal in its function. They go together... I know I am hypothyroid and now waiting for tests on my cortisol. Also, if your iron is low, you cannot use the thyroid hormones as well either and can still feel hypo. I was recommended to use maybe 2 or 3 capsules of the 27 mg of iron. Since taking the iodoral- lower dosage, the supplements for iodine, and adding supplements for adrenals I am starting to feel a bit different. But I need my tests to know exactly what I need to do for my adrenals. you might look at http://www.nthadrenalsweb.org/ Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yes, Lugol's can be taken orally. The TPO antibody result is included here, negative for Hashi's. Your TSH is good for someone not on thyroid meds. Was this test prior to starting the thyroid meds? Was there a Free T4 included by chance? The Free T3 is low. Were the first test results listed for adrenal results? It is not labeled. What dose of thyroid meds are you taking?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yes all these results are from the month before I started Erfa. The Saliva test is indeed cortisol. My MD at the time would not run the anti thyroglobulin or T4 because he said there was no need as my TSH was fine....my TSH swings between 1.1 and 2.8 Also pls note the ranges look funny and are metric I think, as I'm in Canada, Thanks for your help. > > > > > > > Hi Gang, > > > > > > > > I'm from Janie's site and I've been reading but not sure about dosing info. I'm recently diagnosed hypo, possibly hashi's but waiting the antibodies test to determine certainty... A week ago I started to using Erfa Thyroid. Yesterday I painted a 2sq inch area on my arm with tincture of iodine antiseptic (what I had at the time)to see how fast it would get absorbed and it took over 10 hrs, I assume I'm not deficient. Today was a horrible day with a return of too many hypo symptoms.... I rec'd Lugols 2.2% solution today which is 2.55mg per drop. I'm under the impression I can drink this or paint it on my veins and that I should start slowly. Do I start with 1 drop daily?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks , Yes regarding the adrenal complications but since my temperatures were consistent and stable before I began NTH, (always at 98.2 per Dr Rind graph)and I didn't exibit any of the low cortisol symptoms except for muscle/joint pain. suggested that I try NTH first, keep monitoring my temps and see what happens. I've been on NTH now for 9 days and my temps are still stable. So maybe it'll work. My symptoms all feel a little different now but I still have a lot of pain. The good news is I'm sleeping much better, I can actually sleep 7hrs straight thru now which I haven't done in over 10 years. My vision seems better too. Thanks for your input.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 With those scores I would try other things first before adding in HC. Also, is your doctor the one who advised the iron supplement?
