Guest guest Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Sorry Ann, I cannot help your regarding the cosmetics, now I look so much younger I am not using any consmetics or anything on my skin other than the coconut oil. I would think others here will be able to help you more than I can with this  I know you have been doing the diet for a while and probably know a lot of this below anyway, but I am right now trying to put all the information, of relavence, that I do have, into one email.  This is not complete, I would say around the same amount of links needed to be added, but it is getting there. This does not cover cosmetics but there might be other things of value to you, so hope so!!  Love Joanne  Here is what I have put together so far................................  WHERE TO START WITH THE DIET To heal yourself, the only three sites you really need are 'Fibromyalgiacured' (that is this group), 'Healing Naturally By Bee' and the Candida support forum below  http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/fibromyalgiacured/  http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foodslist.php  http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/candidasupport/  These are the foods that are safest for us  http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foodslist.php  And these are the supplements I take, I take these and no others. These supplements are usually safe for most people but if you have doubts or you are on medication you should check with your doctor regarding possible interactions  http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp7.php  This is the calculator I use to work out how much fat, protein and carbs I am allowed.  http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/ratios/ratio.php  I use the diet ketogenically which means I do eat the same amount of fat and protein indicated with the calculator above but I only eat 15g of carbs. If you want to do the diet ketogenically it might be worth looking at Bees all meat and fat diet and then slowly adding good carbs from the candida diet above. Here is some information on Bees All meat and fat diet  http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/meat5.php  Myself I am fine with the meat and fats that Bee advocates and with the meat and fat I tend to eat organic herbs and spices, low starch veg, saurkraut, and occasionally lemon juice  When we become well we can add foods from Bees healthy eating program. This is where I am now and now I can have a small amount of unpastuirsed cheese, sprouted seeds and correctly prepared nuts, but you will learn more about this as you do the diet --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------------------- INDIVIDUAL NEEDS  Different people on Bees diet do have some different needs and if you join her support group Bee will help you with all that, but in the meantime if you are looking for the best brands to but, bee dies have a list. You do not need to buy everything on this list, but if at any time you do want to buy any of the products this list contains some very good quality brands. Also there is a voucher on Bees site that will allow you between $5 and $10 discount at iherb  http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/iherb.php  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ----------------------- MORE INFORMATION ON KETOSIS AND KETOGENIC DIETS  Earlier I mentioned that I do the diet ketogenically. You yourself will need to decide if you do want to do the diet ketogenically and this part of the diet does require some study of the literature and evidence, but here below is a list of some of the links that have influenced me  http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/January/Coconut-Oil-Touted-as-Alzh\ eimers-Remedy/     All the diets above a brilliant, I do not think any of them are as good as Bees diet because Bees diet is all natural an foods are selected in regards to sound research, which you will see over time, and her supplement list is very very good too  If you want a film you can sit and watch on your TV that will help you understand many many things that are going on with us and also why no treatment is being found then this film below that Meryl Streep is promoting is available at Amazon and Ebay . I think this film is brilliant and after watching it I became 100% commited to the diet   http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=first+do+no+harm & view=detail & mid=DF76C8C7F27\ 9FE3C75F5DF76C8C7F279FE3C75F5 & first=121 & adlt=strict --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------------------------------- SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT FIBROMYALGIA IS A GUT, BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDER  So why is a diet used for epilepsy good for people that have fibromyalia? This is not easy to explain, but in a sentence, I would say at least in part, it is the same reason as to why epilepsy meds work for fibro generally. These doctors below shed some light on this. I do agree with there findings but I do not agree with their treatments, their treatments are drug based and we do not need drugs to get well    http://www.drdryland.com/pilot.asp  My understanding of what is going on in the brain and nervous system is that we are creating too much glutamate (An excitory neuron) and the high glutamate is leading to high substance p (Pain neuron) and the stress from all this is leading to low seratonin, dopamine and noraphines, plus other stuff of corse. Anyway, when the body enters ketosis one of the first things it does is turn the glutamate into GABA, and as the glutamate lowers so does the substance p, since substance p is regulated by glutamate levels, and the GABA which is a soothing neuron calms everything down and this is when the brain and nervous system is more easily able to make the seratonin, dopamine and norapinephine that we need  This article below is a bit long and goes into things a bit deep, so really it is one to look at over and over over time, but here it talks about the unique effects of ketosis in regards to healing of the brain and nervous system and it also points out why no other treatments are really as effective for calming the irraticness that can sometimes occur in the brain and nervous system  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2692867/ IS KETOSIS SAFE ?  http://www.biblelife.org/ketosis.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet  I am one of the lucky ones, within minutes of being in ketosis I can see a difference in me but as I get closer and closer towards ketosis I get really bad pain and anxiety. I sometimes have to take painkillers at this point but once I am in ketosis I never need any meds. Instead these exercises are enough for me to keep my anxiety levels low.    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ -------------------------------- SIMILAR DIETS AND RELATED RESOURCES This Paleo diet below is like bees but we cannot eat the nuts and the fruit until we are well The GAPS diet is like bees diet but we do need to get well before we can eat the nuts, fruit and honey Another good resource is the GAPS book and DVD, but you do not need to buy these to do Bees diet. All of Bees information is free, but if you look up information relating to the GAPS diet it may help you understand Bees diet better and why it works. Here is a link below relating to the GAPS diet. We can eat most of the foods on that diet but not all the fruits, dairy and nuts, we do have to wait until we are well before introducing most of these foods but Bee does explain why this is so on her site The Primal Diet http://www.marksdailyapple.com/definitive-guide-to-the-primal-eating-plan/#axzz2\ 4VS4frj7 The Stoneage diet. Dr Myhill is one of only a few doctors in the UK that advocates a high fat diet for the recovery of Fibromyalgia http://drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Stone_Age_Diet_-_this_is_a_diet_which_we_all_should_f\ ollow Terry Wahls, has her own Hunter Gatherer diet for Multiple Sclerosis and related conditions  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------------ WHERE TO FIND MORE INFORMATION For foods and groups in your area you can look up your local Weston Price Chapter at this site http://www.westonaprice.org/ And the videos available from the Weston Price foundation are very informatiand can help us stay on track http://vimeo.com/wisetraditionsuk has put together an excellent selection of links relating to the scientific literature http://healthydietsandscience.blogspot.com/p/how-each-article-is-structured.html   If you live in the UK this site can be helpful when searching for stores and farms that sell the foods we can eat http://www.naturalfoodfinder.co.uk/ This is Croxton, he tells the truth about food http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66J-GLa7sC8 ature=results_video If you join Dr Mercola's site he will send you a news letter via your email daily and the information he sends is always useful. Dr Mercola is supportive of the Paeo Diet, the Weston Price Foundation and the GAPS diet http://articles.mercola.com/videos.aspx This is Taubes, he is another good person that tells the truth about fat and carbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmePQ1oEd64 Barry Groves site is very informative and shows many examples of diseases being healed by similar low carb/high fat diets http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/diseases_index.html Dr Westman promotes a Ketogenic Diet for the treatment of Diabetes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSLf4bzAyOM  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ -------------------------------------------------- RECIPES This is Bees Recipe Group http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Recipes_For_Candida_Healing/ We cannot eat all the meals on this DVD whilst we are ill, but an eat some whist still ill, but once well we can eat most of them http://www.doctor-natasha.com/cooking-with-gaps-dvd.php Pope is a member of the Weston Price Foundatio and she has a number of recipes that can easily be adapted so that we can have them use the foods from Bees diet http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/videos/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------------------------------------------------- CHEAPER SUPPLEMENT A gray sea salt similar to the one bee promotes is available cheaper at Salt Works http://www.saltworks.us/shop/product.asp?idProduct=264 Swanson's and Amazon are selling coconut oil at cheaper prices http://www.swansonvitamins.com/q?kw=coconut+oil & x=55 & y=9 http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Virgin-Coconut-15-Ounce/dp/B001EO5Q64/ref=s\ r_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid=1344979894 & sr=8-2 & keywords=coconut+oil Vitacost are particularly good for things like organic herbs and spices, plus many of the supplements we use, and if you know somebody that is already a member there, if you ask them to recommend you you and they will both recieve a voucher via your email that will give you each $10 off your order http://www.vitacost.com/Referee --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------ WHAT IF I AM ADDICTION TO CARBS  I have a particularly bad addiction to carbs, to stop me returning to the carbs, or indeed any of my addictions and to help me with my sleep I use McKenna books and CDS. These are a bit expensive but I have at times managed to pick them up cheaply on Amazon and Ebay (Not everybody needs these to do the diet but a few have said they helped)  http://www.paulmckenna.com/  Chronic anxiety depression is usually the result of hypoglycemia and insulin resistance and can and will improve over time with the diet.  http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/2011/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd-and-hypo\ glycemia/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------- SUPPORT GROUPS AND SELF HELP PROGRAMS  Although this board and Bee's board do provide plenty of information needed to get well from Fibro, often folk with fibro have ended up isolated because of their illness, this happened to me and I became very lonely and felt nobody could help me at all with the many problems I had. But I was fortunately I found several 12 step groups in my local area and these groups have helped me enormously with my carb addiction, other addictions like addictions to cigarettes, diet coke etc. They also helped me wean off the many meds I was give by my doctor to ease the pain and other symptoms of fibro. Because of the help I have had from these groups Inow do not have any addictions and I cope much better with my PTSD stuff. I also now have no struggles with carbs and I have lost 60lb. The folk I have met through these groups are very supportive people with good attitudes, they are very supportive towards my diet and my desire to treat this illness free of medication. These groups are not for everybody but for anybody that is feeling like some face to face contact would be helpful of all the places I have been these groups are indeed the most useful. They are free too, and they do not take your surname and so they are easy to leave and also no records are kept there about you   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_twelve-step_groups http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=amygdala+fibromyalgia+gupta & view=detail & mid=\ A3DC2EB4E4E83BE089DAA3DC2EB4E4E83BE089DA & first=0 & adlt=strict --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ----------------------------- TV PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT NATURAL HEALING  http://www.joycemeyer.org/ http://trylivingorganic.com/2011/10/05/living-beyond-organic-television-show-wit\ h-jordan-rubin/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ---------------------------  TOXINS THAT ARE NOT GOOD FOR US http://www.ei-resource.org/ Electromagnetism is partcularly harmful for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs2nF1LLt0Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTV1Qey4km4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pTj-gtwIq0 & feature=results_main WHAT MIGHT HELP US DEAL WITH THE TOXICITY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbqIJKW56s8 http://www.longevitywarehouse.com/category-s/43.htm   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------  THE GERM THEORY VERSES THE TERRAIN THEORY FOR SELF HEALING  http://www.naturalnews.com/036219_germ_theory_human_body_bacteria.html  http://liberationwellness.com/?s=bechamp & submit=Search  http://liberationwellness.com/2009/11/25/germ-theory-and-the-end-of-antibiotics-\ part-2/  http://liberationwellness.com/2009/11/25/germ-theory-and-the-end-of-antibiotics-\ part-3/  http://liberationwellness.com/2009/11/24/germ-theory-and-the-end-of-antibiotics-\ part-4/  http://www.oikos.org/aids/intlanka.htm http://www.whale.to/a/lanka.html Genes  http://soilandhealth.org/02/0201hyglibcat/020123lindlahr/020123toc.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
