Guest guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 A few weeks ago I emailed the group and talked about the low oxalate diet. I've been slowly lowering my oxalate intake while remaining gf/cf/sf and food chemical free. And, I am noticing a solid difference in how I feel. I've had mild detox reactions (the LOD people call in dumping) just like when I removed sugar, gluten and the chemical additives. Since the detox reaction has cleared, I've experienced less brain fog, no urinary urgency, and overall my mood is better. I'm still in the mid range of oxalate intake as far as the LOD experts are concerned, but the researcher behind LOD says that if I didn't need to detox oxalates I would not have a detox reaction. My experiences so far on my ms journey tell me that what she is saying is true. So, I'll continue to slowly lower my oxalate intake and see what happens. And as a side note, I have my 9 yr old Aspie stepson on LOD, too. He had an initial dump that left me wondering just who in the heck this kid was. Now that he's done his first minor dump he is talking SO much better. He's only stuttered 4 times this morning -- a huge improvement from his " normal. " I'm not pushing LOD as a " cure " but I " m starting to believe it is one more tools for those of us with ms. Owens is the researcher behind LOD. She has several papers published on the effects of oxaltes and immune function. I know for sure she is Master's level, and I'm relatively sure she is a Ph.D level researcher. I sat on her LOD list and read every post for a year before I decided to take this leap because it is so different from everything I have ever learned. But.. I think it is working for me.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 *Interesting, are you going to try the Guaifenesin too ? have you done any other detoxing stuff like chlorella or iodine or msm ? I have been dumping bromine for 9 months on iodine and did another dump of who knows what with MSM, I have been trying to be able to tolerate more than a few grams of msm for years, but couldnt break past there. Point is, you may be able to add some of these detoxing agents and further your progress without having to further lower your oxalate intake. I think this is what people are using the Guaifenesin for. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
