FW: [MS-Diet] RE: Re: traveling

[Guest guest]

Mike,

You were right! This is the answer I got (below).

Apologies to the group for not trimming the post but it doesn't really make

sense unless you see the thread.

Although I am very strict with the BBD, and don't do egg white because of an

allergy, nor yeast as I have always suspected an allergy, I do egg yolk without

a problem and will continue doing so on occasion.

Janet

Eggs and Yeast? Avoid or Restrict?

There are confusing anomalies all over the Best Bet Diet. In his original essay

these were to be avoided, the latest info on his website says they still need to

be avoided, in answers to direct questions over the years he has softened his

stance and they are now to be restricted by most, avoided if you have a known

intolerance or reaction, and this is confirmed by the guidelines in his recipe

book shown below.

Egg Restrictions

Eggs are one of the most highly allergic foods. If you have sensitivity to eggs

restrict them. Again, it is important to read labels. Products containing eggs,

egg yolk, egg white egg albumen or albumen need to be avoided .It is advised to

use eggs only in moderation, no more than two a week.

Yeast Restrictions

Yeast is another highly allergic food and needs to be restricted

Re: traveling

Janet, FYI I am referring to info contained in MS direct.org by Ashton Embry's

Multiple Sclerosis-Best Bet Treatment where it does MOST CERTAINLY say no eggs.

it classifies them as a food containing proteins that mimic self-proteins and

they need to be avoided.

Here is the link:

http://www.direct-ms.org/bestbet.html

and here is the excert:

The second and perhaps most important strategy for halting autoimmune reactions

is to stop eating foods which potentially contain proteins which can mimic self

proteins. Unfortunately there is no test which can be administered to establish

which foods may be problematic for a given individual. Thus it is essential to

eliminate all foods which have the potential to mimic self. These foods include

all dairy products, all grains, all legumes (e.g. beans), EGGS and yeast. For

grains the most problematic ones are glutenous ones which include wheat, rye,

barley and oats. These must be avoided without fail. Rice seems like the safest

of the non-gluten grains but even it can be problematic for some. The ELISA test

can help guide decisions on the safety of non-glutenous grains although such

grains must always be regarded as potentially problematic. Also one should

always be aware of how a given food affects them and eliminate foods which

consistently result in discomfort and minor symptoms (fatigue, tingling etc.).

Not trying to cause static here but this is why it's so confusing. I've read

it's not ok and then you see others saying it is. I have similar uncertainties

on which meats are ok, ok in moderation, and not ok at all. Mind you I have no

formal nutritional training as all the knowledge I have is from what I read and

discuss with others. If I'm mistaken then what and where is the right source?

Thanks
