Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hey Barb, As I understand it, that diet is a guideline to be adhered to as closely as possible. Particularly with the first couple of weeks - one should try to follow it fairly strictly. But I don't think it is meant to be the gospel that all need to follow the letter for the rest of eternity. If you are not one that eggs bothers, then by all means, eat them sometimes. I would think that eggs are on there because often times those, that have allergic reactions to vaccines, are actually reacting to the egg whites that are in many vaccines. Eggs are a common allergen. Dr. M's diet is very good advice. But as is true with everything in this issue, that advice has to customized to each individual patient. Sharon I'm brushing up on Dr Marinkovich's info and in his diet he says 'no eggs'. His diet recommendations in general are to avoid ingesting mold and mycotoxins in food, and to eat low carb. For sure eggs are high carb, so the no egg suggestion must be to avoid either mold or mycotoxins. I can't figure out why eggs would be in that class. I know they can contain samonella but I don't know of any mold. Does anyone have a clue as to why moldies should avoid eggs? If I see him, I'm going to add it to list of question for him. I need to leave in as many things as possible, list is so small that I can eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 the ''no eggs'' recommendation from dr. m is because they are highly allergic and most people with mold/mycotoxin issues have hyper-immune systems. eating eggs and having a sensitivity to them will stress the immune system even further than it is already working to combat the fungal problem.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 It sounds like you are maybe wanting some protein? If you do well with soy, you could try some tofu. It is very soothing, and is nearly all protein, no carbs. It is a complete protein, so no need to worry, and it is easily digested. We eat it nearly every day. It is easy to put a little in shakes, or to saute on the stove top with a little turmuric for color, or soy sauce. Another vegetable protein that is easy on the system is wheat gluten, or " mock duck " . That is another that is nearly all protein, no carbs. My husband loves to cook it in the oven with some sauce (he likes it barbeque style, but is branching out with peanut sauce). If cooked soft, even a sick person can eat it easily (watch the sauce) or if you bake it longer, it can be crunchy (my favorite). We gave up eggs almost 15 years ago from getting sick all the time eating them. I can't think of a reason it would be necessary to a healthy diet. If someone wants to eat them, that is just fine, but optional. I grew up eating them daily, and thought no one could live without them, and was very irritated at the polluted state of the food supply, but it turned out fine. We have been healthier for it. > > I'm brushing up on Dr Marinkovich's info and in his diet he says 'no > eggs'.
