tell me what you eat right now and what you will not eat. How much you

weigh. And are willing to eat like an O so that the body can heal itself.

I'll tell you about supplements once I get a response from you.

Intro/Post-Op Help Needed

Hi guys, I need your help. Let me do my overdue intro first. I am in

my late 40's, look as if I'm in my late 30's (great luck!!!) and in addition

to having the ravages of failed attempts of living the vegetarian lifestyle;

i.e., high cholesterol, hypertension and elevated blood sugar levels (not

yet diabetes, thank God); and am losing some excess weight; I have some

pretty debilitating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. This primarily has

sidelined my life, especially in the last 6 years, and I've been officially

disabled since 1997. I have had all the worst symptoms at one time or

another, such as being unable to stand, walk etc. and fatigue. I have been

in a remission of sorts for the last 7 months for which I'm very thankful.

I do not need my cane - a first since '97, and also do not stagger-walk

unless really fatigued. Even the fatigue has improved since I started ER4YT

in August! Overall I'm thrilled with my systemic health, and cannot ever

envision going back to the conventional eating lifestyle!!

In June I had a very mild stroke, which left my right arm and leg

temporarily paralyzed and then extremely weak. After 6 weeks of very

intensive therapy, I was able to forget about my wheelchair and a month

later, my cane. This episode caused a tremendous strain on my left arm and

shoulder, and led to the resurgence of a 22 year old injury (which

originally needed 7 surgeries to heal). As a result, last week I had

shoulder surgery (left), - needed repair of a torn rotator cuff muscle, an

impingement and scar tissue removal in the joint socket (repairing a

dislocation). Luckily, my orthopedic surgeon was able to do this with 3

arthroscopic incisions, and did not have to open my entire shoulder up. I'm

allergic to most antibiotics, and was scheduled to spend 2 days in the

hospital on antibiotic IV, but started to react negatively to the

antibiotics, and it was terminated the following morning. I was sent home,

and the next morning awoke to excruciating pain in my left foot! Because I

have multiple sclerosis, I have had flare-ups after surgery in the past,

however, this was different. To cut a long story short, it appears that

somewhere between the operating and recovery rooms, I suffered real bad soft

tissue/ligament damage to my left foot. X-rays show that my ankle bones are

not arthritic, so the conclusion is that I have a really bad sprain! I also

had an old injury repair to my right knee last September; and in 1999 I had

major surgery on my right shoulder due to a car accident. In that accident

I also sustained 3 herniated discs in my neck and lower back. I also have

carpel tunnel syndrome in both wrists.

That's the background. my question is this - what extra supplementation

do you think I should take to support my body with the extra healing it has

to do at this time? Is there a product that could support my bones to

halt/prevent future arthritic changes? I really need some input here.

Thanks,

Jannette

Hi ,

We spoke on the phone in October...I had called you in panic after a very

disappointing visit to the cardiologist and finding my cholesterol levels higher

on the BTD. Now, as then, I am about 95% compliant, especially when it comes to

Avoids - none knowingly; I eat primarily HB, and use neutral foods sparingly. I

started BTD in the first week of August 2001. Unlike many, I had no detox

reactions....it was all good - immediate weight loss, inch loss and greatly

increased energy!!! On Labor Day weekend, while out of town, out of sheer

starvation I grabbed a slice of cake in the hotel lobby! What a mistake!

Having never suffered from sinus/allergy type problems, I was unused to dealing

with (I know it sounds gross) PHLEM!! 3 hours later, after a compliant dinner it

started........it seemed like gallons of it! I remember calling the hotel front

desk for 3 extra pillows, as it seemed that I would drown in it if I laid down!

Thankfully, at 3:30am, I finally wretched my guts out and it was over! Never

again will wheat/corn knowingly enter my body. The upside of this experience is

that I will never have to make myself ignore traditional " goodies " , I am simply

" not interested " !

The one area I initially needed more compliance in was protein and carbohydrate

portion, and , thanks for getting me straight on that. I doubled my

protein and cut my carbohydrate to a quarter. To be honest, I feel that what I

need most for the reversal of my cholesterol, weight and blood sugar problems

now, is time. Time to erase all the damage of 25 years of following the " one

size fits all heart friendly diet " . My family history makes me high risk for

cardiac disease and losing my 44-yearold father to a fatal 4th heart attack made

a great impression on me. So I first tried to become a vegetarian at 20 -

disaster, I thought weakness etc. would kill me! I still kept trying though,

and was always into " eating healthy " , and come my 40s, most definitely not

reaping the benefits! So I KNOW this is the diet for my health!

My concern at this time is insuring that as my body is undertaking this massive

healing project to give it all the support it needs. I am not overly concerned

about menopausal changes right now as recent blood tests show that the process

has not even began (yikes!), but I need a supplement that will aid healing,

build cartilage and strengthen muscle function.

I currently take:

CoQ10 10mg q-gelcaps

Vit. C

Nitricycle

Deflect (2c daily)

Fucos Plus

MSM 1000mgs

Vit B-3 (1000mg daily for high cholesterol)

Cal/Mag liquid

Cod Liver Oil

Lifestar Women's Multivitamin

Maca

In addition I take prescription drugs for hypertension, hypothyroidism and

" restless legs syndrome " (taking less now) and now a painkiller, Darvocet (not

too much yet, physical therapy starts next week!).

It seems like a lot, but believe me, its the least amount of drugs I've been on

in YEARS! LOL!

Thanks for any input.
