Re: daughter's doctor always scaring me about not enough carbs

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I just wanted to share that my 4 year old son wasn't officially diagnosed with

autism, but had had digestive issues (chronic diarrhea for 6 months prior to

starting Bee's diet) and attention and agressive issues, wouldn't make eye

contact, had a severe speech delay and just 'wasn't right'.

He's been on Bee's diet for 17 months and is doing beautifully! His

concentration is great and he is affectionate and his aggressive tendancies have

decreased immensely!

I have had to deal with uninformed doctors this entire time as well since my son

goes to daycare and in this country all schools must (by law) provide the

children food, so in order to have something different than the standard fare,

the children need to have a doctor's note. They, too, have reluctant to

recommend the diet and write the 'doctor's note' for my son, but they cannot

deny how healthy is.

The doctors have taken his blood and have done EEGs on him and they cannot find

anything that would indicate that he is unwell. In fact, in addition to the

improvements that I've mentioned, he also healed two spots of vitilago on his

arms. He's extremely healthy and hasn't had so much as a runny nose and his

bowel movements have improved significantly.

How old is your daughter and how long has she been on Bee's diet? We didn't put

our son 'cold turkey' on the diet, so if your daughter is just starting out, you

can gradually take out the goat yogurt and pecan butter. Commercially-made

pecan butter would not be properly prepared, so you will need to stay away from

it. If you make your own pecan butter with nuts that have been properly soaked,

it would be okay in small amounts. Just be aware that nuts can be hard to

digest and they can quickly add a lot of carbs. I don't know about your

daughter, but my son is a carboholic and I need to be really careful not to give

him too much carb because he will crave them like crazy!

Anyway, I hope I've said something that gives you the hope and confidence to

continue with this diet for your daughter. If you need more support, please

feel free to contact me offlist.

You're doing a great a job, Mom!

Take care,

+++Hi . Welcome back! helped you a lot with your question, but I

will add a couple more things to help you feel even more secure that your

daughter is getting all of the nutrients necessary for health.

1) Dr. Weston A. Price wrote the fantastic book called Nutrition and Physical

Degeneration, which covered 10 years of research with thousands of photos of

people he studied in isolated groups all over the World. On page 464 he writes:

" We humans have the same rigid restrictions regarding food selection as the

simpler forms of life when foods are evaluated from their chemical basis. "

On page 415 he writes: " Also, it is not necessary to adopt the foods of any

particular racial stock, but only to make our nutrition adequate in

all its nutritive factors to the primitive nutrition. Tooth decay

is not only unnecessary, but an indication of our divergence from

Nature's fundamental laws of life and health. "

He studied the Masai Warriors in Africa and found them to be extremely healthy

and they didn't consume any carbs - see this:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods26.php

Carbs are very unnecessary for humans anyway, since all nutrients humans require

are found in meats, eggs, and " good " fats. For example, meats and eggs contain

vitamin C, which most people do not realize, and our bodies require less vitamin

C if we don't consume sugars and high carbs. Here's some carb facts to help you

understand: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2_1.php

Also the Eskimos Dr. Price studied were very healthy, yet they consumed no carbs

and only had meats and good fats - here's an article about them:

http://www.biblelife.org/stefansson1.htm

Also the ratios of protein to fat to carbs I recommended are exactly the same as

Dr. Jan Kwasniewski recommends for his Optimal Diet. He is in Poland and has

been curing people of heart disease, diabetes, asthma, obesity, cancer, etc. for

over 30 years with his diet: http://homodiet.netfirms.com/

I hope that helps you feel more secure that your daughter will be getting proper

nutrition.

All the best, Bee

[Guest guest]

Thank you and Bee,

I am feeling somewhat more secure about the diet. Help me understand something

though, as I am restricting the carbs (reducing nut butter) and I've already

taken out fruit, I notice she is losing language?

When I gave her some nut butter today for the first time all day, the language

started improving?

The only other things she was having today were eggs, meat, tomato sauce and

veggies and ghee?

I feel nervous that by leaving the carbs out I am making her lose language????

Thanks,

+++Hi . When changes are made it takes time for a person's body to adjust,

so you cannot say that carbs have anything to do with her language skills. In

fact the opposite is true, like 's son, and the other autistic boy. The

other boy hadn't spoken at all at 4 years old - this is from her Success Story:

" Within two weeks their son [4 years old] spoke his FIRST words and by the end

of that month he was talking in complete sentences. Up to that point the boy

wasn't saying anything. He was having full blown meltdowns. Now those have

stopped. He told it was a miracle. The first two weeks were hell. He said

it was like watching a junkie going through withdrawal, but they stuck with it,

and now the kid is speaking. He said it was like a door opened and they have

their son back. I almost fell off the couch! "

** Hi :

I won't speak to your daughter's language issue, as I'm sure Bee or will

have good advice. But I did notice that you may be confused as to what carbs

are: carbs are anything that is not fat or protein. And many foods have a

blend--for example nut butter has both carbs and fats. (In fact: noticing

language improve when you gave her nut butter may be linked to her getting good

fat not " carbs " .... or it may not be related at all???? Hard to say. See what

Bee or make of it.) But I wanted to point out that you are still

feeding your daughter carbs as well in the veggies and the tomato sauce. She's

not going without carbs and you might rethink attributing any language issues to

carbs since she is getting carbs throughout the day.

Hope this is helpful to you,

Marissa

Help me understand something though, as I am restricting the carbs (reducing

nut butter)

Hi again :

I also wanted to point out that nuts have protein carbs and fat in them... so

again, it may be that she is responding to more than the carb component in nuts.

How is she liking the egg drink? That's chock full of good fats.

Marissa

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

thanks for the responses. Her language and cognitive processing improved today

even though I am trying to focus more on meats, veggies and ghee.

She was doing some other strange things (vocalizing) but I was relieved to see

the language and processing improve.

Thanks again,

PS--Marissa, I can only get her to take small sips of Bee's egg drink, but I am

working on it.

** Hey :

I'm glad to hear you are seeing some progress. I know it can be difficult to

trust this diet when you hear conflicting advice from other sources. But this

diet works, and Bee has laboriously outlined all the science that backs it up,

so you may get some solace from her work on her website. Also

(moderator) is a fantastic resource for you because she has had so much success

with her autistic (though very much improved son) on this diet. She's very

knowledgeable and supportive, so I encourage you to take her up on her offer to

discuss this further with you whenever you get conflicting info or have doubts.

Have a great day.

Marissa

Thanks Marissa for the help and encouragement! Today my daughter was so with it

and her language was great! The diet is really helping her, I'm so relieved.

I just need to keep coming up with new ideas for meals that she will eat. I'm

hoping I can do it. She's a tough cookie.

Thanks again,
