Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Will do! Thanks (: I'm blood type A - I do well as a vegetarian/vegan - just hard with my hubby who is a carnivore! Several years ago I did a testing - one where you send in money and fill out all these forms and they tell you if you are Vita or such. I actually was a rare combination - a balance of all 3. I never really understood what to do from there - they sent me a bunch of information, but just seemed like way too much work.

Just so you know you're not alone on this Candace, I did the questionnaires in s Mortitz' " The Key To Rejeuvenation " and found I was about equal in all three categories too.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 How do you balance it out though? Some things that are green for one are read for another. The person who handled my forms said to eat by the seasons - but I'm not entirely sure what they meant by that. I know I do my very best when I'm eating Vegan - or close to it. Some fish here and there doesn't seem to bother me.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi, somehow my words posted were not exactly what I had written. I wrote that I never fully researched the diet, and that I never implemented it b/c the doc said my son did not really have PDD. I do believe the Feingold diet is researched enough for my needs.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Dear Anne, The idea of eating what you feel like eating as long as it is either neutral or beneficial is all you need to ease yourself into this diet. However be sure NOT to eat anything that disagrees with you. Being listed doesn't make it good for you - just makes it an option for you. For example banana is listed as beneficial, but I have a life threatening allergy to it so I don't go near the things nor even allow one in my house! Looks like cayenne disagreed with you - so don't use it. Use what you LIKE that agrees with you. How I started was to list all the " beneficial " foods from the diet that I actually know I like - plus all the neutral ones I know I like - including herbs and spices - and planned my menus around those. I just had fun with new combinations of old favourites. If you like a particular ethnic type of food that helps. In my case Indian curries was it - and I built more around that. The beauty of any ethnic food area is that it will include many nice combinations of flavour, you just have to adapt it to BTD food lists. It's as if the BTD food lists are your grocery store - you don't have to eat everything in the store - only what you want to choose. Does that help at all? Like learning to swim, learning any new thing does not make you the butterfly champion overnight, so it is worth taking it slow and doing some practice runs, and don't give yourself a hard time for being reasonable about adjusting to a change. A lot of worthwhile things take a bit of effort to get right - but you can make all the mistakes you need on the way, as that will all be positive " lessons " towards *your* ideal BTD style of eating. :-) I did find it easier to look for beneficial meal options in the beginning than to get hung up on what to avoid. And I found it very handy to put the little O book in my purse after a while, to help with grocery shopping and eating out. That way if something is on sale that you like - for example I recently saw cod on sale and I like all kinds of fish - you can check whether it is a yes or no food and stock up - which I did. And for example if you eat at a fast food place you can ask what fish they use - last I asked it was pollack - and my type A pal said oh yummy, and I said oh something else :-) Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc; AASCA; MCSSA; D.I.Hom.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Thanks...what you said helped a lot...it made me wonder what it was that caused such a reaction so I again ate some of the maybes today and it wasn't the cayenne or the brown rice so it must have been the shrimp....I ate it the first time but the second time it must have been too much....I remember reading in an allergy book that if you only eat those kind of things that give you problems once every four days you'll be fine unless it's a true allergy....I will try the shrimp again in four days....so you guys are trying to find out if the source of the vegetable glycerin makes a difference...I would think it would....Friday they are having a seminar at Wild Oats about ER4YT and exercise given by some doctor. I'm going and I will try to ask afterwards. Any other simple questions?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 MILK. It DOESN'T do the body good. Dairy products are probably the worst. Processed foods of any kind. Mostly all non-alkaline/non-living foods create mucus. Mucus is creted to protect the body. Your body is alive and needs living foods with natural enzymes (fruits and veges) to keep it healthy, most other non-living foods without enzymes (dead foods) will take the body from a healthy state to a non-healthy/congestive/degenerative state. The real reason for mucus in the body is to protect from an acid pH in the body. Most non-living foods create an acid pH in the body, and thus mucus. Try eating only raw fruits and veggies for a week and you will see what I am talking about. :-) B >From: " asardar84 " <asardar84@...> >Reply-bowel cleanse >bowel cleanse >Subject: Diet >Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 12:42:45 -0000 > > >Hi Everyone: >Is there a certain foods that are mucus-forming, and feed >parasites?

He also indicated a raw lettuce salad a day >keeps parasites away. And he said, " ?three days of raw apples only, and >then olive oil, and we will cleanse ALL toxic forces from any system! " I'm sorry but I totally disagree. Edgar Cayce had a lot of esoteric knowledge about many things (some positive, some very negative), but modern alternative science proves that eating only apples for three days and then olive oil might rid some parasites from the body (though it is unikely) but " to cleanse ALL toxic forces from any system " is an amazingly naive statement. If this were the fact all we ever needed to do in life (regardless of how we eat or lived) is just to do this three day apple/olive oil diet and we would be able to heal our toxic bodies, since our bodies would be free of all toxic forces. This would be the only cleanse that would ever need to be accomplished. It takes months if not even years to rid a toxic body of " ALL toxic forces " even with a completely alkine Vegan/living foods eating lifestyle - ALONG WITH DEEP HERBAL CLEANSING. Parasites will be able to live within any acidic pH body. Just changing the diet to eat apples for three days and then olive oil might barely begin to change the body's pH from acidic to alkaline (depending on how depleted ones body is of organic electrolytes). It takes time and fasting once the body finally becomes alkaline to remove all parasites from the body. Parasites can live behind and within muciod plaque (which is acidic in its composition) even after the body becomes alkaline. This is the reason why ridding the body of muciod plaque is essential to ridding parasites from the body. So I would definitely disagree with Edgar Cayce's statement, and so would most modern alternative medical science. I don't mean to step on anyones toes here. I'm just sharing my informed opinion and trying to help and heal. B _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi Robin: I am Middle Eastern, and since I came to North America, my diet has blended with Western life-style. I did rotation diet, yet I wasn't successful detecting any food allergies. I read " The Metabolic Typing Diet " ; I followed the instructions, and felt a little improvement, and yet eating too much protein was new to me, so I gave it up. I have been avoiding raw vegitables because of indigestion. I will follow three days apples only. Yesterday I started taking Swedish Bitters; it is to clear up mucus-after two weeks, will see if it does its work. Thank you. Sardar --------------------------------- Post your free ad now!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The most mentioned on the list in the past have been: Nightshade vegetables that include: peppers, eggplant, etc...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 There are many people who say give up this or give up that. It seems to me that if YOU have a mild allergy to this or that, it could, of course, be aggravating your PA because your immune system is constantly trying to fight that food's presence in the body. Giving it up would therefore probably provide some relief. However, it logically follows that is you are not allergic to this or that, then giving it up would have no impact other than to deprive you of foods you love. We had a thread awhile back regarding nightshades - some people felt they improved when giving them up while some of us we sure there was no change other than to make us miss tomatoes or green peppers! If suspect that you would do better without something, give it up for a while and see if you feel better. You just might! If you don't, you can always add it back to your diet. The key is to eat a healthy diet in the first place and to watch your weight. Kathy F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi Mafe, I have to be on this awful diet because of calicum type kidney stones which I can't eat any wheat flour, no caffiene, strawberries, black raspberries, chocolate, etc. So I kind of agree with Kathy about eating what you like and giving up what you can't eat as long as it is a balance diet. I have to drink 10-12 glasses of water a day which I think is the best thing I have ever done. Since my teen years I have always drink diet pop-Mt. dew was my favorite and bypassed water. My skin is alot better and my whole body seem better-I think it flushes alot of the toxins out. mafe carandang <mafegc2002@...> wrote: Mostly the good stuff.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Dear Janet, I don't know if it means much, but I had a physical therapist who told me corn leads can cause inflammation and pain. I've noticed the same thing if I eat corn, but don't seem to have any problem with corn products. I have also been told that alcoholic has preservatives in it that can cause bad reactions in your lymph nodes. I know if I drink red wine, or heaven forbid over drink (those days are long gone now.lol) I ache like crazy the next day. Especially along any lymph node line. So far those are the only two things I've noticed that ever bother me. Hope this helps you some.

Love, Fran Thanks Fran, I am still in a great deal of pain since my cruise last week and I feel like I am 90. I feel like every joint is hurting and my right ankle is so swollen. I spoke to my rheumy today and he said he does not know what else to do. What an ass. I tried double humira and double Enbrel and they have not done a thing. He is now going to try to get the Remicade approved even though I was border for Rheumatiod arthritis. There has got to be something else I can do. He won't give Arava and he said since I am swollen he is not going to try Prednisone. He said after a few weeks on prednisone and then going off, it can worsen the P. I am going Wednesday to Florida to visit my sister and mom and when I get back I am going to go to another rheumy. I am trying to decide between Kathy's, 's at Columbian Pres. or if you remember Jerre, she had a good one as well at the hospital for joint disease in NYC. They all sound good so I have definitely have to decide. Thanks again, Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
