My take on meds is take what you think is best. nobody can tell you what to and

what not to take

BUT ALL chemical meds affect us one way or another. This is the curse of fibro

LOL

Listen, For the first year I had to take a lot of things. I had a lot of

emotional problems back then and food, all I new about food was 'I was addicted

to it!!!!'

I could not control my carb intake, I could not control anything, and as much as

folk were telling me, you just have to stop, I could not

It is a terrible terrible thing to have addiction, and because I had addiction I

needed the meds, and the meds were also feeding the addiction and this is a

state I pray nobody I care for ever gets in

This is how I got out of my vicious circle

I totally focused on the nutrition. I made sure I had sea salt every day. Sea

salt is a mgic cure, I am not kidding, it is fabulous because whether you are

eating 'pure' or 'junk' sea salt helps the body gain all its minerals, even

trace minerals

I used substitutes for starch. these really were not the best thing for me

because I cannot tolerate starch at all, but the lower and lower I could get

thisd starch the easier it was later on when I needed to get off it

Lactose too. I wanted to eat it. I new I had a problem with dairy but I felt I

needed it. I started cutting out one thing at a time. I cut out milk first,

thena bout a month later yoghurt (Up until I cut out the yoghut I used Greek

Yoghurt because I new that had the least lactose. I then cut out cream and soft

cheese, and remained on hard cheese only for about a year. In the end I cut that

out tooo, and stayed off that for 18 month. I now can hve a tiny amount of hard

cheese and cream if it comes from Unpastursed A2 milk, but I will when I gwet

time share more about this

Next I worked on the furctose. I weaned down to apples, berries and lemon juice.

About a month later I got off the apples and later the berries. In the end I

ended up just on lemon juice which I now believe is the only fruit I can

tolerate, and I even have to be careful with this. But I am not bothered, the

other food I eat, particularly the protein food is so delicious, I now consider

myself to be blessed. Almost illness free, and can eat steak, lamb chops, Pork

Joint, salmon and tonnes of other great tasting food, and I can even have a

second helping if I fancy. but I had to learn this gift, remember, carbs had a

'devilish' hold on me. I was brain washed, and this was not my fault, I was very

young when all this started with me

Anyway, you know I do not eat sugar, have not for a very long time but I also

had to wean off the sweeteners. Gorden bennett, I can hardly even think about

this without feeling poorly. To this dauy I still do not know how I did it. and

I know this sounds like an exagersation but it was not

Aspartame was my weakness and since those days I have learned why. Aspartame

raises dopamine and it raises it a highly addictive manner. I would argue that

in my case aspartame was at least as addictive as heroine.

as you know I hang around with quit a few ex-addicts and I can tell you very

very few of them had to go through the agony I had to go through to get off this

anyway as I learned the skills to get oof all this ie eating 'pure' natural

food, taking my supplements, slowly but surely gettign out of work places and

even home places where 'nut jobs' had power in my life LOL

and finding spiritual places to visit, a job I could do without being stressed,

playing music at work whilst I had to put up with stuff and listening to my

MCKenna etc. I managed to very very very very very slowly get off all my meds

Besides paracetamol, I have not had to take any medication in two years. And

beleive it or not it was when I got off the meds, thats when the rapid healing

occured

This is what this diet can do for you, or anybody, but first of all we really do

have to fall in love with this diet and this life. It has to become our

boyfriend LOL, My husband is laughing, but it does. It has to become number 1 in

our life and we have to get besoted with it

As you know, I belvieve this way of eating, particularly the ketosis way, is a

spiritual gift

Nuns and monks use ketosis to be closer to God, and this is why they fast so

often when they are praying. Muslims, buddhists and Jews fast too for the very

same reason. And I know in the USA many s fast but here in England

fasting in the Christian community is basically unheard of, can you beleive

that, can you Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyway, I will not get onto that, but what I will tell you if that our Lord

Jesus can and will help anybody who asks Him, and I am frankly yet to meet one

single person that did not have faith in god that could do this

All the people I meet that are on the path are the most loving kind caring

devouted folk I know and this more than anything confirms for me that this what

I am doing is correct

I know I cannot pass this experience on, this is something folk have to find out

for themselves. but anybody new here reading this, who is still not sure if this

is safe, workable, really healing and so on all I can say is go to the forums of

the diets I have mentioned here and just lsiten in. you will be extremely

surprised what you here

My love to you all

wow, ok, that is real close to what I am attempting.

my blood pressure has been sky rocketing, with my recent trips to the ER

and today my doctor prescribed a blood pressure medication, a side effect of it

is that is makes me a little constipated which is good because when i flare i

have the opposite problem....i have a great dr. who found a cork for me to take.

I am not sure if I have already sent you this but just in case I did not,

here is a very good article

http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/crohns.html

Barry Groves is a great guy, he works with the Weston Price Foundation and is

keep to expose the many lies we have been told about how eating sugary and

starchy carbs can be good for us and how unnatural vegetable oil do not harm us

Barry Groves himself follows a high fat diet and as you will see if you examin

his site his research is showing that many conditions, including Colitis,

Arthrtis, Neurapathy etc can all be treated using good foods with a high fat

diet that includes coconut oil, butter, olive oil and Codliver oil

When i get time I will post more but now I must go to bed. I have been working

all day and may well be doing so again tomorrow

Love Joanne
