Re: moving to raw fruits and vegetables.

October 17, 2005

A;lso, Sheila, as you know I have been belly-aching about getting the

abdominal xray that the Pfeiffer Center recmmended, and decided not

to go for it. But the lady who analysis his voice prints thinks that

there is probably some food still in his diet that he isn't

toleratingand is causing inflammation which might be inflaming the

bowels. It's difficult to pinpoint, but she suggested bringing a

little bit of all the foods he eats to our kineseologist for testing,

and if he can't find anything, she thinks it's time for a GI workup

with Dr. Buie (or maybe Dr. Krigsman) who is familiar with asd

problems. I really hate to go that route. We'll see.

I had awful skin (eczema etc.) before and at the beginning of the

diet. It actually got much worse before it got better. I expect I

had massive die off that irritated my skin.

How long has he been on the homeopathic treatments for parasites?

Hopefully as he is on the diet there will be more healing inthe gut

to allow the antiparasite treatments to work more efficiently.

Do you know which parasites it is?

What is the x-ray for exactly?

Can you remind me if you started with the intro and what exactly he

is eating now?

Hi Sheila,

He's been seeing this doctor for 10 months. He still has giardia and

intestinal fluke.

Pfeiffer said that they 'can't clean him out if there is an

obstruction, so he needs an xray first'. As for the diet, I don't

know what the intro is. We started with stage 1 (one day), then

stage 2 (one day), then stage 3 for the next 3 months. We couldn't

do the first two stages more than one day since he has to rotate his

proteins. If he ate chicken for 3 days, that would be the end of

chicken for him. Could happen with vegetables to, actually. What he

eats now is 15 cups almond yogurt per week, 'sour' fruits (g.s.

apples, pears, berries, kiwi, grapefruit), all vegetables except

mushrooms, brocolli, watercress, eggplant, peppers), chicken, turkey,

salmon, almond butter, avocado, and we added back in cultured

vegetables when we saw no change from scd.
