failsafe test diet questions

[Guest guest]

Hey Emma,

The shampoo aspect is no problem, but what to use for

body oils? Umm, I'm a massage therapist so I need a lot of oil.

I make own face oil, using a carrier and a few aromatics,

but I use only two drops--diluted with water--per day...to what would

I switch during the interim?

For the record, I don't have any clinical symptoms or conditions which

implicate amines, et al., other than a malaise from time to time, but

because my diet is loaded with them, I'm curious what will happen if

they are drastically reduced in a trial.

Learning about this subject has supplied a missing puzzle piece for

some questions I've long had.

Cool. QFI sells mango butter. The thing is, vco easily washes out of

fabrics. All those oils listed are too unstable to use in the

quantities I need.

That doesn't sound horrible to me; I like fooling with unusual lubricants.

Meh, I could well need it; it could optimize my diet. Like I said

before, I've had some ambivalence about a few of the broad WAPF food

recommendations based on other reading I've done and your information

resolves it.

Also, what I've discovered in the past is that moods, compulsions,

and other milder issues can be taken for granted, then later, with

diet adjustments, one finds they were neither personality quirks nor

otherwise a " normal " part of life at all.

Further, a number of my clients have mystery ailments and/or seemingly

unpredictable responses to WAPF-diet standards who possibly can be

helped with this information, so it'd be more useful if I had some

first-hand experience.

Emma,

Cocoa butter and shea butter?

Low sal but high amines?

Okay, can someone list for me what exactly these symptoms are that you are

talking about? Are there some that are definitely due to a food chemical

intolerance?

That's why I'm here and why I wanted to get this debate going. I felt

for a while before I found failsafe that WAPF was " almost there " for

me but not quite, and I hope that with WAPF's help this info can be

spread to a wider audience and help some of the folks who aren't yet

fully healed and fixed on WAPF.

**okay, this is something I could get into. That is why I asked in one of my

last posts what the symptoms are so I could see if I need to change my diet.

I will say that I have no more depression, anxiety ( I think, although it's

hard to remember the last time I felt it as severely as I had).the last

couple of nights I have not had as much noise going on in my head and I felt

I slept better and was able to get back to sleep easier after having to get

up and nurse than I have in really forever. But I can't figure out what I

have been doing differently that would have affected this. I did start

taking magnesium, but does it usually take a while for a particular

supplement to take effect?

, here is one of the many great links that Emma Davies has

posted several times:

See the " Allergy or intolerance? " button.

Just ignore the recommendations for soy and vegetable oils
