Mark's Diet - Success Stories?

November 7, 2000

Hi,

As more and more people say that Mark's diet has helped them, I was

wondering if those with food triggers who follow his diet have been

able to eat those foods that caused the problems in the first place.

Also, I was wondering if you're able to withstand external triggers

such as heat, wind and cold better.

I can control my rosacea through avoiding my trigger foods and not

getting too overheated. However, there are circumstances where I

can't avoid the heat or eat a trigger food without knowing.

Anybody's input is very much appreciated!!

Thanks,

Matija

Hi Everyone,

It's far too early (3 weeks) for me to be claiming " success " with Mark's

Diet, but I can tell you I have had noticeable improvement in some systemic

symptoms that I believe are linked to my cea.

The red, hot, swollen hands are gone, as is the blotchy redness on my arms

and the " v " area of my neck. I feel better, too.

As for the face, I have had 8 sessions of Photoderm so that was more or less

under control previous to my trying the diet. I can say that I haven't had

any papules in a few weeks, or transient flushing as I had experienced

prior to this.

My whole attitude toward the plan is, what do you have to lose? Mark

suggests a wholesome diet that I can't imagine hurting any otherwise healthy

person. I haven't even proven to myself that I suffer from Leaky Gut, but I

figured I would give this an honest try before making that determination.
