diet

[Guest guest]

I think that would be useful to many of us.

If there are sufficient members of the group in this area who are interested in seeing Dr.Theodora I can arrange a 'surgery' near Harlow, Essex, about half a mile from the M11 motorway. Which might be easier than going to Harley Street.

re the diet and would be very interested to learn more so an insight into the type of menus would be most welcome.

[Guest guest]

How about the rest of the country? Midlands would be a good location, central

to all? Of course i realise this would need enough patients to make it viable

for Dr T.

But how much would this cost? There are many people like me who are on

Incapacity Benefit and have been for some time, all my savings are long gone and

I live hand to mouth. There is no way people like me can afford special clinics

no matter how useful or necessary!!

As Dr Theodora is in Harley Street,I assume she has a private practice and is not available on the NHS.

Hi Glynis, Theodora charges £140 for an hours consultation,

follow up consultations depend on the particular problem.  This is very reasonable.

Dr Peatfield has had to put up his costs from 1st January to £150 from £140 for

new consultations and follow ups from £60 to £70.

Yes, she is a private GP so any prescriptions would be private

one's. However, your GP can refer you to her for a second opinion, and

hopefully, if Dr Mantzourani prescribes any medication for you, your GP will take

this on board and prescribe it within the NHS.

Sue - Thank your friend for providing this amazing article. Based on the

research/evidence the implications are clear. MSG and Aspartame are

toxic poisons to the human body! This is eye-opening for anyone unaware

of the dangers of these ingredients. Thank you!

In honor of 's new adventure into a healthier diet I thought I would send some research everyone's way. This was a study done about pain and diet. What they found out was " a vegeterian diet was poor option in the treatment of fibromyalgia."

Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull. 2000 Aug;26(2):41-7.

Vegetarian diet in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Azad KA, Alam MN, Haq SA, Nahar S, Chowdhury MA, Ali SM, Ullah AK.

Deptt. of Medicine, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka.

Brain tryptophan is low in fibromyalgia. Intake of protein rich in large neutral amino acids is reported to lower brain tryptophan. This study was undertaken to assess whether any reduction of such proteins by exclusion of animal protein from the diet reduced pain and morbidity in fibromyalgia patients. It was an open, randomized controlled trial. 37 subjects with fibromyalgia were enrolled in the vegetarian diet and 41 in the amitriptyline groups. The outcome was assessed with the help of frequencies of fatigue, insomnia & non-restorative sleep, pain score on a 10-point VAS and tender point count. Fatigue, insomnia and non-restorative sleep were present in 41, 26 and 32 subjects before and in 3, 0 and 0 subjects respectively at six weeks of treatment in the amitriptyline group. The pain score and tender point count were 6.2 +/- 1.9 & 16.1 +/- 2.3 before and 2.3 +/- 1.3 & 6.4 +/- 3.0 after treatment. All these differences were

significant (P < 0.001). In the vegetarian diet group, fatigue, insomnia and non-restorative sleep were present in 36, 24 and 27 subjects before and in 34, 29 and 29 subjects at six weeks of treatment. The pain score and tender point count were 5.7 +/- 1.8 and 15.7 +/- 2.4 before and 5.0 +/- 1.8 & 14.7 +/- 3.6 after treatment. All these differences were insignificant except that in the pain score. The decrease in the pain score, though significant, was much smaller than that in the amitriptyline group. So, it may be concluded that vegetarian diet is a poor option in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

> It seems that my brainfog goes away when I eat about 25 grams of carbs, but I

with fuzzy vision. I also break out with yeast in the crevices of my upper

legs. My most horrible symptom is the brain fog. When eating the 52 grams of

carbs, I feel terrific, but I can't think straight.

+++You can have less carbs, at whatever level helps. All carbs feed candida,

however it is impractical and unnecessary to eliminate all of them.

+++How many fat grams are you getting per day?

Also, the electrolyte drink causes me to puff up. Should I be concerned about

this?

+++Some people don't do well having lemons, so it is better to not have the

drink, and instead ensure you are getting 1 1/2 teaspoons of ocean sea salt per

day added to foods.

Would you stick to the 52 grams of carbs allowance or would you eat 25 grams,

and be free from brain fog with NO energy?

+++25 carb grams is okay.

Also the lymphnodes under my arms, stay swollen, and if I have a cheat, they

will break out with a bright red rash. I'm just not sure which approach would

be best. I have suffered from brain fog for 16 years. So much so that I

thought I had brain damage, and nothing would ever help me. Then I found your

website. Thank you, thank you very much.

+++No matter what you do you are going to " retrace " all of your past episodes

with brain fog and so to try to avoid it or treat it directly isn't going to

help. It just takes patience and time. See " Understanding Retracing & Healing

Reactions "

http://www.arltma.com/RetracingDoc.htm

+++It helps most if you closely follow the program (you can have lower carbs of

course) and to do things that help your body detoxify without interfering with

nutrient levels, since brain fog is caused by detoxification, i.e. Epsom salt

baths, dry skin brushing or another mild form of exercise, coffee enemas, and

ensuring you have good digestion.

All the best, Bee

Bee, You are brilliant. After not adding the lemon juice to my electrolyte

drink for a couple of days, alot of what I described above has gone away. I

thought it was the salt that made me puffy and foggy. I don't think I could

suceed if I had to give up more food. Thank you so much. I am very grateful as

I would never have been able to pinpoint this myself. Thanks again! Sherry

,

I have no answers but cannot wait for folks to reply. We are approaching the

two year mark on the diet and have been super strict for the past year. The

diet is the hardest part for us and we are so sick of it. I am scared to

stop it though because once he tastes what typical people eat, then it will

be even harder to go back. I guess I am writing to let you know that you

are not alone.

The dairy part of the diet would be good for all humans to follow. Research and

history has shown about cows milk (pasteurized or not) is not ideal for humans.

The low starch makes sense to not feed the fungal issues which most people

probably struggle with as well. Hang in there.....

Previously we had restricted all dairy products from 's diet. We have

recently reintroduced goats milk products. We were making our own yogourt and

keffir, but have found that Trader Joes has a great selection of goats mile,

cheeses and yogourt. If you have a Trader Joes nearby check it out. We try to

eat a lot of protein and vegtables, with minimal starches and some fruit. We

made buffalo liver and onins and while the kids did not love it, thay ate it.

Liver is great for kids with low blood iron levels. Collards, kale and other

greens are also good.

[Guest guest]

It's the Trader Joes brand. In a blue quart tub. Ask, because it might be

regional and custer demand drives product placement. Good luck.

Hi Bee and everyone,

Just wanted to ask every time I try to go on the diet eating coconut oil 6

tablespoons and 8 eggs and no sugar. I cant do any of the supplements because my

body is extremely sensitive right now. I am very starving on the diet, and major

acid reflux in which I hardly ever have. My hair really falls out way more than

normal. I know that you mention retracing, but I hardly ever had acid reflux in

my life. How do I stop being so hungry, and the major hair loss.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Martha

[Guest guest]

Hi Martha,

Are you working your way up to taking 6 Tbsp. of coconut oil a day or are you

doing it all at once? It should be a gradual build up to 6 Tbsp. Some people

take up to 6 months to get up to that level.

The program includes the supplements and they will actually support your body in

the healing process, so it important to include them.

Your hungry will eventually decrease as your body gets used to running on

ketosis. In the meantime, it is okay to have a snack of broth with fat in it or

an egg to help you feel more satisfied.

You should try sauerkraut to help deal with your reflux symptoms. Are you

taking Betaine HCl?

Most people on this diet have reported that their hair loss slowed after a

period of time.

I have been using coconut oil for over four years and I did work up to 6

tablespoons. I tried HCL but my bowels bleed everytime. I tried for several

days, and then when I stopped it, the bleeding stopped. My body is so sensitive

I cannot use any of the supplements at this time, and I cant even take any type

of salt right now. I have an extremely hypersensitive immune system right now.

Hi Martha,

Bee is away for another few days. Perhaps it's best to repost your message to

Hi Martha. I have been on Bee's diet for 6 months, but have been low-carb

generally for the last three years. All through those three years my hair has

been falling out. I think it may well have started actually before that - it

certainly became very lank and hard to do much with, considering that I used to

have very thick curly hair it's quite depressing.

The hair loss got very bad not long before starting Bee's diet - it was shedding

everywhere. I kept blocking the sink with it and my husband got pretty fed up

picking it out of his dinner!

Gradually though over the 6 months the loss has slowed thank goodness. It is

interesting that as the hair loss has slowed, evidence of detoxing is also

abating, so I can only assume that it is detoxing that is causing the hair loss.

Bee did say that detoxing is the probable cause.

I initially went low-carb three years ago because I had terrible stomach pain

and raging D and could hardly eat anything. I realised I was gluten intolerant

and dumped that, but all carbs were an issue so I dumped most of those too.

Like you, I was pretty hungry for a while but gradually that abated, especially

when I lowered my carbs to no more than about 30g per day so that I was in

ketosis all the time.

I had issues with quite a few foods - meat was hard to digest, I couldn't eat

eggs and nuts, but gradually that improved and I have no problems with them now.

Carbs are still an issue at the moment though, but even if they weren't I still

wouldn't want to eat them in any quantity. I don't eat nuts at the moment

because they encourage weight gain which I don't want!

I now have Bee's egg drink twice a day with a tablespoon of nutritional yeast in

each one and each is made with two eggs. I have one for breakfast and one in the

afternoon. Lunchtime I usually have some meat of some kind, or fish, and I have

a dinner in the evening, meat or fish again and a portion of green veg and that

is all I need.

When I was eating carbs I would pick all day. The evenings were the worst, but I

just have my dinner now around 6pm and that is it for the night.

I have had some acid reflux - more gas really recently and on Bee's suggestion I

have been taking some Betaine which has helped a lot. As suggested,

perhaps you could try taking sauerkraut instead to see if that helps at all.

Start gently with a spoonful and gradually work up to half a cupful.

Can you have any lemon juice? What happens when you try to take any salt?

Ali.

Hello ,

Wow....I must have somehow overlooked the dosing of the coconut oil; I started

out with 6 Tbsp. a day--that must be why I'm having such a hard time with the

healing reactions, especially the glands under my armpits. Do you think this is

a correct assumption? If so, I guess I need to throttle back on my daily

dosage. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Mike
