Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Cool! I'll look for it. I don't have it often, just once in a while. I certainly don't want to confuse my body anymore than it already is. Aprilcupcake@... wrote:Any form of alcohol will slow your metabolic rate. So I think its confusing for our bodies at the very least. I know that the sulfites in most wine are the most damaging. Also un-necessary calories. There is a new organic wine on the market though if you must. It is called " Bonterra " . Most organic and sulfite free you can find.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I saw on some show a few days back that a glass of red wine a day (for women) can 'significantly' reduce the risk of heart attack.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi Casey. Don't know the name of the wine but the grape seed extract is called procyanidins which have been promoted for their free radical scavenger activity. Procyanidins (flavenols) appear to be some of the most powerful anti-oxidants. This has been well documented in scientific literature. Procyanidins are found in many types of foods, but in extremely small amounts, and the highest concentrations are found in grape seeds. And yes I do take it regularly. The one you mentioned below is actually Pycnogenol which is from Pine Bark Extract and is similar in composition to grape seed extract. But grape seed is the most potent. Regards Maraika Posted by: " casey " < denise05775 Mon Dec 18, 2006 10:19 am (PST) this is good. i have also learned there is a red wine (need to get name) that is very high in melatonin. a Merlot i think. red wines are excellent for health and many are organic which means no sulphates. also on the wine buzz, there is a supplement (pycnogenol) which is from grape seed, and also taken regularly lessens the inflammation in the joints which does provide some pain relief. but as far as the red wine my doc said only one small glass a day and to keep regular lab appts. so the pycnogenol is a good choice for compromised liver counts Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hello, I read Dr Walford's book last summer. As I am older I started by improving my diet. I am ready to start the restriction. I downloaded the Cron-O- Meter to analyse my diet. That identified 2 problems. I don't always get enough protein and I drink too much wine. I discussed wine consumption with my physician. He said 2 glasses were fine and when I told him on weekends I drank a bottle (750 ml). His only response was " Don't drive " I wanted more help than that. Can anyone offer some help? I don't see myself going to an AA meeting. Are there any websites? I did lose 8 lbs by improving my diet, but I need to lose a great deal more. My weight is 168 and I am only 5'2 " .

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Judy: Since you ask for help I suggest the following: Start tomorrow a 30-day period during which you consume no alcoholic beverages of any kind. After those thirty days ask yourself, and get an honest answer, whether you found doing without the alcohol dead easy or, alternatively, really quite difficult. If you found it dead easy then there is no problem for you with moderate alcohol consumption. If you found it difficult, or if you couldn't stop yourself from taking a drink once in a while, then you need to go to AA. Because if you are already dependent on alcohol it will only get worse. If you found it easy to go without then there is no reason why you cannot safely drink a glass of wine (or two occasionally) a day. But not more than two. However, because of the caloric content of alcohol, you will find weight loss a lot easier if you drop your alcohol consumption to perhaps a couple of drinks per week until you reach your target weight. And, based on the studies I am familiar with, you should restrict your alcohol consumption to wine only. Some people believe red is healthier than white, but I have not yet seen evidence that has convinced me of that. All the best, Rodney. > > Hello, > > I read Dr Walford's book last summer.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Duncan did say that. But you need to check in for yourself. I had a big problem with even dry wine, so depends on the individual.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 , All wine is a flat out no on the diet! If you're going on a fun vacation, however, and the wine won't make you feel horrible (achy joints, or whatever) surely a glass or two won't make or break you. Hope you have a great time! Wine I suspect that this is a long shot, but I think Duncan said that very dry wine is OK for candida sufferers. Is this wishful thinking?

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 and Terry, Thanks for your replies. Duncan wrote to me saying that very dry wine is OK as well as distilled spirits. I agree, though, that our own experiences should influence our actions on this. I think that wine affects me somewhat badly. Thank you,though, , for not laying a " guilt trip " on me. I guess we all need to know the facts of the situation and deal with it as best we can, including making occasional " exceptions " in the diet. Good health to you, > > , > All wine is a flat out no on the diet! If you're going on a fun vacation, however, and the wine won't make you feel horrible (achy joints, or whatever) surely a glass or two won't make or break you. > Hope you have a great time! > > > > > Wine > > > I suspect that this is a long shot, but I think Duncan said that very > dry wine is OK for candida sufferers.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Rossi is my favorite wine. Also my elderly sis-in-law still loves it. [ ] Re: Sulfur compounds in Garlic If I'm my stomch doesnt feel too good or even if I have some throat smyptoms I just use ordinary tomato sauce which is low in sugar and salt from the store, and crush 3 cloves of garlic with a garlic crusher or something and put on a bit of lightly toasted bread. Though my friends at work don't appreciate the smell if i eat the garlic the same day, so I do this after work everyday so by the next evening its not so bad. >> According to Dr. Weil "A 1999 Korean study did show that garlic juice reduced mercury toxicity in rat embryos, but I know of no evidence suggesting that it works in humans."> > Getting Rid of Mercury?> http://www.drweil. com/drw/u/ id/QAA348544 <http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA348544> > > I eat raw garlic when I have an upset stomach because of its antibiotic properties. It can actually be delicious if you make a sauce by grating half a tomato, a clove of crushed raw garlic, one teaspoon of olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce onto a slice of toasted bread, and enjoy. It is a variation of "Pan Catalan".> > Tony> http://scientificps ychic.com/ blog/2007/ 07/30/antibacter ial-properties- of-spices- and-condiments/ <http://scientificpsychic.com/blog/2007/07/30/antibacterial-properties-of-spices-and-condiments/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
