Re: fast phase 1/liver phases, was Rounds question

Dean,

The short anwser is I don't know I thought it was Andy's

suggestion and when I looked at my report- it isn't him. On page

40 of AI Andy speaks about phase one inducers or accelerators.

(licorice is one of them) I guess my interpretation was that if you

already have a fast phase one liver, speeding it up more would occur

with inducers (just so you know, I am so over my head in this

topic). Also my response to licorice was so dramatic - thought I

might need to go to the hospital. That is how I put that together.

There might be greater authorities on this.

Also Andy suggested Feingold diet to reduce aggitation. He words

are " The Feingold diet is relevant here as it claims to rank and

exclude phenols, salicylates and other relevant compounds. It is

actually an empirical diet derived from many clinical reports of what

people react to rather than based on chemical analysis of the foods.

Perhaps 15-25% of people who have a lot of agitation will respond

positively to it. " The feingold list has oranges, broiled food

tangerines etc...which are also listed on pg 40. Oranges give me the

same reaction as licorice just not as dramatic. That is how I have

interpreted it...may not be correct.

I'd love to learn more but I really need the book called " liver

phases for dummies " hope someone writes it soon.

I'm just throwing this question into the mix:

I know this has been discussed before, and I may have notes on it (that I'm

still trying to organize), but I'd really appreciate an updated opinion on which

lab (Great Smokies? I think they have a new name?) is the best to get a Liver

Detox Panel from. Thanks in advance!
