Re: N-acetyl-L-cysteine - Lea

June 12, 2005

Hi Lea,

Lynda’s diet is very close to what I eat as well except that I added a little bit of red meat to my diet last year. I avoided it for 4 years but my Dr. Leu requested that I eat it again because my iron count is so low and supplements didn’t bring it up enough — at least the level of supplements that I could tolerate. I also take NAC and glutamine because my body doesn’t make glutathione. A weird genetic snip of mine.

Lea, you can make tremendous changes in your health with diet and supplementation alone.

Kenda

Everyone has to do their own thing, but what I did was avoid many things,

like all sugars and white starches, all dairy, all red meat, ate organic

vegetables, free range chicken and turkey, deep ocean fish, organic grains

(cooked from scratch) and drank tons of pure osmosis filtered water. I

also took a lot of natural supplements, as we do not absorb nutrients.

Dearest Kenda:

I have changed my way of eating so much because I was sick of being fat. Our children own their own cattle, and they are certified organic, we get our beef from them. We eat very little meat, but we love red salmon. I know that we do not absorb our food like normal people.

I do keep my acidophilus in the fridge and it is Jamison's. Is this a good brand?

Thank you honey, you are great at this stuff...love you....Lea

Lea, It sounds like you have an excellent diet. A couple of suggestions would be for you to try vegetable juicing. This is considered a detox and there is no digestion required. All the nutrients go directly into the blood stream. Also, I have learned that there is a big difference between pasteurized milk and raw milk. Pasteurization changes the chemistry of the milk and destroys enzymes. My son cannot tolerate pasteurized milk but does fine on the raw milk.

Thank you dear Anita:

I can only have certain vegetables because of the Coumadin. What would you suggest that I use for juice.? Tomato juice is too acidic. My daughter has a milk cow but they live several hours away. She uses raw milk and they make all of their own cheese and butter.

Love you...Lea....I'm off to bed again.

Hi Lynda,

I’m the same way. I cheat occasionally, when I feel I can get away with it. All of my groceries come from Wild Oats and are organic and natural. My latest cheat is drinking iced mochas. At least they’re non fat.

eat any.

Hi Lea,

My doctor Leu recommends eating very little fish, because of mercury. I used to eat fish several times per week and actually started losing my memory! He recommends taking a fish oil supplement instead unless the fish is from very deep waters. I explained this to the fish market where I buy my fish and salmon was on the do not eat list.

I am not familiar with Jamison’s acidophilus. Can you send me the bacteria counts and I’ll compare them to mine?

Kenda

Dearest Kenda:

I have changed my way of eating so much because I was sick of being fat. Our children own their own cattle, and they are certified organic, we get our beef from them. We eat very little meat, but we love red salmon. I know that we do not absorb our food like normal people.

Nice to be able to cheat now and then, isn't it???

I was so strict for so long, but it is the only reason I'm still alive.

Lea, You are so lucky to have access to raw milk. I get several gallons and freeze some. When it thaws you have to shake it as the cream separates somewhat but it is so worth it. As for the juices try to use whatever green vegies you can eat. They say not to use things like carrots or beets because the sugar content is way too high and taking the fiber out is to much of a sugar blast. You can start with mild veggies like celery and cucumbers. I use leaf or romaine lettuce, parsley, celery, broccoli, dandelions. They say cabbage is also very good. I haven't tried that yet.

Hey Kenda

Dr. Mercola's website directed me to Vital choice seafood about 2

years ago. They sell wild alaskan salmon that has been mercury

tested and has found to have virtually undetectable levels. These

are caught off the coast of alaska. I buy and eat only their

salmon. They are delicious. They have free shipping if you buy

over $100. We buy that much and put them in our freezer.

Yes, it sure is but I always feel guilty. I didn’t cheat at all for two years, when I was so sick. I truly felt like I was dying, I even had my doctor run an AIDS test back in the late 80’s because I thought certainly there was a different way to get it than we were being told because I didn’t fit any of the risk groups. Of course the test came back negative and my doc had a good laugh.

Nice to be able to cheat now and then, isn't it???

I was so strict for so long, but it is the only reason I'm still alive.

Since Lea is on Coumadin, aren’t green vegetables out of the question or is it just salad greens?

Kenda

Lea,

You are so lucky to have access to raw milk. I get several gallons and freeze some. When it thaws you have to shake it as the cream separates somewhat but it is so worth it. As for the juices try to use whatever green vegies you can eat. They say not to use things like carrots or beets because the sugar content is way too high and taking the fiber out is to much of a sugar blast. You can start with mild veggies like celery and cucumbers. I use leaf or romaine lettuce, parsley, celery, broccoli, dandelions. They say cabbage is also very good. I haven't tried that yet.

Hi Kathy,

Thank you! Dr. Leu gave me Vital Choice’s name a couple of weeks ago too! I haven’t had a chance to order from them yet but I plan to. A shame most fish is too toxic to eat. Unless someone here can order mercury free fish, you probably shouldn’t be eating it, especially if you are already having health issues.

Kenda

Hey Kenda

Dr. Mercola's website directed me to Vital choice seafood about 2

years ago. They sell wild alaskan salmon that has been mercury

tested and has found to have virtually undetectable levels. These

are caught off the coast of alaska. I buy and eat only their
