Re: A book I am reading...

I have not heard of this but am very interested.  Thanks for the tip.

 

[ ] A book I am reading...

My wife recently introduced me to a book recently written entitled " And

They Say It Wasn't Possible " by R. Hurd. She is a nutritionist

who lives in Fall Creek, WI (about 10 miles from me) and her take on

diseases like colitis, RA, and Crohn's Disease is very interesting.

She claims that RA is not an auto-immune disease but is a problem of

the adrenal glands not producing enough corticosteroids. There is a

specific diet she has advocates and I wonder if anyone has heard of or

tried it. I am going to try this diet. Its efficacy will determine

for me whether or not I start DMARDs. She has a website at

www.karenhurd. com.

I checked her web site and did not see anything pertaining to RA.  I like the

theory about adrenols not producing enough corticosteriods because I know I sure

feel much better when I am on them. What type of diet does she suggest?  linda

Hi Brad - I know that taking the DMARD's and even the Biologics can be

a daunting option. I've heard of several others who have gotten relief

from adjusting their diets. I have also heard of several others who

have had no relief. I guess its a crap shoot either way. 6 of one,

half a dozen of the other. The best thing is it won't hurt, so best of

luck to you. Keep us posted and God Bless.....Doreen

,

I'm still reading the book, but initial steps include an almost

exclusive diet of beans (kidey, lima, black, etc., not green beans)

and water six times a day to get a good steady flow of soluble fiber

into the intestinal tract where bile from the liver can be excreted

from the body, thereby helping to heal it. Also, one should stop

eating cruciferous veggies like broccoli during this time. Basically

the diet slowly changes, first addressing the need to reduce toxicity

in the blood and body, then healing the intestinal tract, then

improving the production of corticosteroids. As I've been reading,

I've seen many of the bad food/drink choices I used to make (and

still sort of do). I used to drink a six pack of soda a day, ice

cream, fast food, and other junk. Hurd goes through a detailed look

at what is occuring to our bodies, how the systems are interconnected

and what can lead to problems like RA, Crohn's, colitis, etc. Her

take is that a lot of diseases begin in the intestinal tract and the

problems occuring there spread to other systems, and I've seen other

research to support that theory. Once I'm done with the book, I'll

give a better synopsis.
