Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 , Have you read " Adventures in Macronutrient Land " by Sally Fallon and Enig? http://www.westonaprice.org/nutrition_guidelines/macronutrientland.html Judith Alta -----Original Message----- Thanks Jim. That is very sound advice. I shall go low carb. I think I will just eat taco. I get meat, veggies, avocado (for healthy fat), cheese, and the crispy shell probably would not bring my sugar up. One or two should suffice. I get a balanced diet and lose weight at the same time. Do you think that is healthy enough? I do swim as my exercise once in a while when I'm (ever) home, but I know I should do it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Betty, Are you misunderstanding something here? All veggies are not high glycemic. Fat with carbs reduces the glycemic index. Prescribed diabetes diets are low fat. Makes it difficult to feel satiated. What veggies do you want to eat? Wanita Can a diabetic ever go back to eating veggies? I LOVE my veggies!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Check out the book " Brain Allergy " by Philpott. In it, he talks about food intolerances as opposed to food allergies. Allergies are a IgG reaction while intolerances are an IgE reaction. With IgG reactions the symptoms are predictable like hives, bronchial constriction, etc... while with IgE reactions the symptoms could be anything - brain fog, depression, kidney problems, migrane, or blood sugar changes. He talks about some mostly forgotten studies where they gave people foods they were reactive to and watched the blood sugar change - it could skyrocket then plunge so low they were nearly comatose! Even from things not associated with diabetes like cheese. He said some people are labeled diabetic when they really just have blood sugar reactions to foods they eat commonly. He didn't go into what type of malfunction causes the body to develop the IgE reactions to foods, but did say it could happen to anything you eat very often, and when people start getting IgE reactions, they must be careful not to overexpose themselves to anything too often or there is a risk they could develop a reaction to it. Now here's my theory: Lyme affected individuals very often develop reactions to things they are commonly exposed to, and the reason is that when they get infected with the lyme they often get infected with very small parasites at the same time. To prevent the immune system from destroying them, the parasites give off chemicals that alter the immune system. While the U.S. tries to hush up the fact that people here can get parasitic infections, the produce we buy is very often from countries that are known to have all kinds of parasites. Who knows at any given time what is living in us? Mostly the little hitchikers are pretty good citizens and don't cause much trouble, but they do cause little problems like the immune reactions. <Probably not worms but maybe amoebas> Our doctors are probably the least equipped to identify it and deal with it because of the denial. - Renate --- In , " Betty Pearson " <betty@...> wrote: > > Can a diabetic ever go back to eating veggies?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes... you could eat a few LC ones. But, I know type 1 diabetics that eat as close to zero carbs as possible and never have to shoot insulin. Shooting insulin is SO damaging to one's body! It may be worse than shooting meth!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Renate, Interesting theory. So... is there a way to get rid of these parasites? Or does it matter if we have them? Would love to hear more.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Isn't Lyme a parasite? Around here, in MA, they say not to touch a deer's hide without gloves and long sleeves because the deer mice sleep with the deer, bringing the tiny Lyme carrying ticks there and that the disease and parasite was found in deer mouse stomachs. Wanita Now here's my theory: Lyme affected individuals very often develop reactions to things they are commonly exposed to, and the reason is that when they get infected with the lyme they often get infected with very small parasites at the same time. - Renate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 The lyme group I'm in shares all kinds of nutritional methods to get rid of parasites. The problem is it can take a year or more to completely get rid of them, so it takes perseverance. Artemisinin, an herbal supplement that is incredibly effective against malaria (a parasite) is also effective against other parasites (and cancer). Right now the talk on the forum is about Hulda 's cleanses and people who are trying them are saying they feel something happening. The Lymestrategies folks say salt/c, especially the salt, is effective at getting rid of the parasites on it's own. The interesting thing about this is that vitamin c is used by the body to make a host of enzymes which help the immune system and detox among other things. If you look at this in a Weston A. Price way of thinking, our ancestors ate a huge amount of salt, either because they ate primarily meat (in some areas) or because they preserved their foods in salt. The book " Salt; A World History " by Mark Kurlansky, says around 1800 people ate around 40 GRAMS of salt a day! So the two main things lacking in the modern diet that rarely get addressed in the mainstream are that we are getting much, much less salt than our healthy ancestors did, and much, much less enzymes from our diets. Anyone ever consider the reason our bodies lost the ability to make C is because of all the fermented foods we ate that were rich in enzymes? Note to anyone who wants to rush out and down a teaspoon of salt - you can't eat that much table salt, it will make you sick. Not only are the minerals removed so that your body gets overwhelmed with sodium and becomes imbalanced, but there are a lot of additives in it to make it flow freely, etc... that are not so good for you. Another thing, and I've seen this on a site about artemisinin as well as the salt/c forum; when parasites die in your body, they can break down and cause release of toxins in the body, initially making you feel pretty sick. On the salt/c forum they recommend you go very slowly, ramping up until you have an idea of what kind of parasitic load you are carrying. Some people have been knocked flat by just 1/2 gram of salt and c, and a woman who was an international traveller who took artemisinin became very very ill from the die-off of parasites. Hulda recommends detoxing the organs of elimination - the liver and kidneys before and during parasite cleanses to help the body get rid of the toxins from the die-offs. Interestingly, some people with mercury problems spontaneously get better after a good lyme treatment; and autistic children are also being CURED of autism from lyme treatment. I don't know if it works on all of them, but there certainly is anecdotal information on the lyme forum! One theory is that the parasites absorb and build up the toxic heavy metals they get exposed to. I've also read on an autism forum that several people whose autistic children who were treated for parasites (like were travelling and they drank the water & got sick) spontaneously improved their autism symptoms while on the antiparasitic, but regressed when the treatment was over.

Except for corn, potatoes, and peas, veggies have so few carbs and so much fiber that I can eat a whole meal of them and not have to inject any insulin at all. Tomatoes take a little insulin, but then they are a fruit. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
