Re: New diet...Lorenzo warriors? Glucose....neuro-inflammatory

February 4, 2011

Hey Rick,

These are interesting observations you are making, but I have to say that I

disagree with you.

I have CFS and I am on a GFCF and sugar free diet, and while that did quell some

of my symptoms, I am still sick.Â

I also have a child with autism...my other kids are showing signs of illness.Â

This is a family affair and I think we are all sharing the same pathogen that

causes immune dysfunction, I believe that pathogen is a retrovirus:XMRV.

Hi:

I found one of Dr Goldberg's videos on YouTube 2 nights ago and I finally found

someone that understands about the commonality of CFS, autism and other related

diseases. I went through all his videos and have gone through some twice!

I believe I have a diet that will be of interest to those that believe food is

the underlying cause of neuro-inflammation. Why I am here?

I came down with CFS when I was 27 years old and I am now 54. I first believed

the root cause ( I was in Telco so we use root cause analysis instead of

eitology...lol)of my problem was internal inflammation back in '98. I believe

now I have found a different approach to the neuro-inflammation riddle.

Has anyone here seen the movie Lorenzo's Oil? I refer to anyone like the parents

in the movie as Lorenzo Warriors. That is what I appreciated about watching Dr.

Goldberg's video. He strikes me as being a Lorenzo Warrior.

If you have seen that movie and are that type of person ( I like to think I am

too) then here is what I am saying.

The root cause of neuro-inflammation is glucose. When I finally understood that,

I was able to create a meal plan for myself to avoid glucose. ( To me, all

sugar, carbs are glucose because that is all the body allows in the

bloodstream..glucose).

I am " irked " because after all those years ( 25 years, 3 months) I was able to

escape CFS with a few months!

I hope I am in the right place and can find a few " Lorenzo Warriors " that might

be interested in what I have to say? For example, if you watched the movie, did

you notice how they had to focus on and understand VLCFA ( very long chain fatty

acids) to understand the disease of their son? This is why to me the GFCFSF

diets fail....because they still include glucose.

Understanding or being aware of this type of information is what I found key to

my finally understanding neuro-inflammatory disease and creating my meal plan.

I so hope there is someone here that is interested in hearing what I have to say

and might be a Lorenzo Warrior learning type?

Sincerely:

Rick

Hi :

Thanks for your feedback. Can you tell me what diet you used to go

completely sugar free?

Thx

On a similar note--

I have a son with autism (not doing at this point) and seizures. He seems

to benefit from a low-carb diet (although have not jumped on the MAD diet yet

due to multiple food allergies). My hubby came down with diabetes last year. I

kept telling him to go low, low carb and NO SUGAR. Now that he is finally doing

this (eight months later...), the neuropathy in his feet is significantly

subsiding.

Hi:

How is your son doing now? When I say no sugar, what I mean is that

since the body only allows glucose into the blood stream, I refer to all

sugar, carbs, etc as glucose.

So I get about 400 calories ( max 100G) per day from glucose ( cane

sugar) and the rest of my calories, about 1400, from ketones. I have

massive amounts of energy, clear head, no brain fog, etc. I believe

since I get so many of my calories from ketones, that this also denies

energy to gut pathogens. The cane sugar is part of my heated drink, so it

is absorbed across the stomach lining. Therefore, I don't think I am

passing ANY glucose at all to my small intestine.

I used to know that glucose was causing my problem because I could feel

it. Living with CFS to me was like being under a sheet of ice and trying to

break through. I knew day after day after year after year, that I wasn't

functioning but could not do anything. My first clue was after I had CFS

for about 7 years, I got sick with the flu and emptied my stomach. Right

away and for a day only, until I started eating, I had a clear brain for

the first time in years. So I strongly believe a gut/intestine pathogen is

causing toxins in our blood stream and affecting our brains.

So I have been eating like this for a year now. I can go biking ( I live

in Vancouver) and do everything anyone else does, EXCEPT a varied diet. To

me, this is no problem because of the old saying " I live to eat or eat to

live " . It's pretty obvious which one I choose. Protein is for the immune

system, so we only need about 70 to 90G per day, divided into small doses.

Fat (LCFA that is) is only to make us feel full, not for energy. Try

eating avocado and/or cow fat (butter, bacon, etc) for energy. Any

combination and we still feel hungry. When we check the science, we see

that LCFA are wrapped up in a delivery vehicle called chylomircon (basically

just a delivery vehicle because the body will not allow a foreign particle

like cow fat into the blood) and delivered into the blood where they are

delivered to the whole body. Since the brain can only burn glucose and

ketones, it can't use fat for energy. So some of the fat goes to the liver

which converts the fat to glucose and then dumps the glucose into the

bloodstream. Then the brain must compete with the rest of the body for the

preferred glucose.

You can try it yourself ( as I have). I had many avocados per day and

was still hungry.

So the solution for me is to drink my ketones, keep my stomach full with a

special meal I prepare and now I have a life again after 25 years.

Hopefully this helps somewhat.

Best wishes

Rick

I just removed all simple sugars from my diet (even fruits), I am trying to keep

my blood sugar under control.Â I havent removed all carbs, I still eat rice,

potato and gluten free bread and I do feel better but I am still not well. I

have headaches, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and more but I wont bore you.Â

Hi :

Gluten free bread still has glucose, as does rice and potatoes, so to me,

this means gut pathogens still have an energy source.

The glucose aspect is interesting to me... I recently had a bout of stomach

bugs... where I couldn't eat off and on for 5 days and then 3 days a week or so

later.

It was amazing... For years I have very bad fibromayalgia pain, huge brain fog

to the point of confusion sometimes, constant headaches (I have to use advil way

too often) I haven't been able to do strenuous excersize in years because it

hurt too badly, sleep problems, and always being tired, extreme panic attacks (I

often need someone to call me in the AM if I am alone, because it feels like I'm

having a heart attack.. and I'm afraid for my son to wake up with no mommy... I

know these are panic attacks... but it doesn't help that much because the chest

pain, difficulty breathing, tight throat, etc. are real)

Any way... after these bouts of stomach sickness and little to no eating... here

is what happened... all of the above symptoms went away...(I was able to start

running, because it didn't hurt, no anxiety attacks, no headaches, etc.) It was

unbelievable. But as I started eating again, they started coming back with a

vengence. I started trying to implement Dr. Goldbergs diet for myself... but

found that if I ate almost anything at all the symptoms were coming back. I

definately noticed that sugars seem to affect me along with lots of other

things. It feels like the only things I can eat with out getting the symptoms

back are maybe lean meats, vegetables, and some fruit. I wish I had the self

discipline to eat like that, but I don't think I do.

Anyway the sugar aspect makes me wonder... it seems like it might end up being a

fit. It doesn't really help me with figuring out a diet I can manage/stick

to... but at least it might give me some information, and that's never a bad

thing.

My son is being treated by Dr. G , and seems to be doing great. I am going to

try to see him myself.

February 5, 2011

Jennnifer, try reducing rice - and be wary of GF bread - some of the

substitute flours are allergens too. Potato is the least offensive carb it

seems

Hi:

I believe that there is a better diet than what we have read about, including

the SCD, GFCF, etc. Just as when the Lorenzo's found a solution, I believe

there is a better meal. However, I am curious as to whether the group is

interested in the science, because we quite naturally don't make changes without

knowing the science.

For example, we know saturated fat(cow/pig) is extremely bad for us and causes

oxidative stress. The scientists gave us a clue when they said it was

saturated. Saturated with...? With hydrogen.

Google: " h plyori hydrogen " Those 3 words. Do you know want causes ulcers?

I just asked this of two people yesterday and they said stress. I have only one

person in all the time I ask this who told me bacteria. For 20 years we have

know that this bacteria causes ulcers and can be cured with anti-biotics. It

took the scientist in the 80's who discovered this ten years to have his fellow

doctors prescribe anti-biotics for it.

As mentioned, we seem to know that it is glucose causing the problem,

but to gut pathogens, it is all glucose. rice, GFCF, potato, bread, organic or

not, baked, fried, natural...gut pathogens don't care what we humans call it or

how we prepare it.

Wouldn't it be better if we nourished our cells but provided NO glucose to the

intestines? Wouldn't that be the ideal meal?

Thanks for your time

Rick

LOL the sugar is tough! I'm such a sugar addict I think I need to

create a sugar anonymous group to help.

I've noticed an odd difference recently.Â We hear all about the evils of high

fructose corn syrup, but I am prone to break my diet with a dr pepper.Â I love

them, I crave them, a day doesn't go by where I don't wish I had one.Â If I do

buy it, I'll drink it all.Â It's also harder to stay committed because I don't

really seem to have much side effect from it but I know it's loaded with sugar

so well you know.Â But I do occasionally fall - but I don't eat other sweets or

ice creams etc (most of the time), or heaven help me most pizza (although

there's one kind of thin crust I can eat w/out problems).Â

But one day I tried one of those 'retro' sodas made from real sugar, and the

next day my gut was so full of yeast - or at least inflamed -Â I was in agony,

and it took days to go away.Â Well I didn't make the connection until I tried

another one (yeah I'm real bright sometimes), and the same thing happened.Â Â

(They were nasty anyway.)

Anyways, I've wondered periodically what the difference was, especially since we

hear high fructose corn syrup is the death of us all, the devil of all foods,

but I tolerate it (not that I should have it - I know.Â I know.), but not real

sugar.Â Hmmm.

Great.Â Now I wish I had a Dr Pepper.Â
