A Hummingbirds Guide to ME Newsletter - July/August 2008

[Guest guest]

Hello and welcome to the 'A Hummingbirds Guide to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis'

e-newsletter for July/August 2008

I hope this newsletter finds you and yours doing as well as possible.

I have a few new projects etc. to tell you about this month.

-----

'Treating M.E. - The Basics' has been fully updated and extended!

This paper was updated in July and now includes a new 'top10 treatments'

section, a short section on cancer and M.E. and how to reduce your risk,

information about how to avoid EMF radiation, a lot more information on diet

and the

importance of whole foods and balancing protein, carbs and fat, more

infomation on treatments to avoid (that can cause serious

relapses/deterioration),

information on tests you can have done privately that can help with

determining the best treatments, ways to save money on supplements without

sacrificing

quality, and lots more.

I recieved so much useful feedback after the July update however, that I

decided to act on some of it right away and so the paper was also updated

again,

and further extended, in August.

The section on diet was extended, and new sections were added about weight

loss and M.E., how to shop and prepare food more easily when you are ill,

which protein shakes are safest, and how to make meals that are liquid or

easier

to swallow.

A big thank you to everyone who offered suggestions and positive feedback.
