Re: DISCOURAGED/mini strokes

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I think this post was reposted by yahoo. I was reading in an older book

" low blood sugar and you " 1969, It talked about mini stroke recovery being

helped by nutrition, and mentioned bioflavoids in particularly. The book

mentioned the ketogenic diet and it helped epilepsy, and the effect of low blood

sugar on epilepsy. He did not recommend a very low carb diet for low blood

sugar. Those books helped me in the 1980s to reduce my sugar, but wished they

had gone further in recommending very low carb. My glucose tolerance test then

was fasting 80 and down to 60 later. My blood sugar never got real high in

between. I have had tinnitus as long as I can remember.

Hi ,

Are you saying this guy did not recommend a low carb diet if you had low blood

sugar? I thought it was opposite. By the way I get tinnitus off and on and a lot

lately. Strange so many of us have it. Quite a while back my doc sent me for

some test, and on the lab slip it said: TIA? Which it seems I didn't have

(hoping), but it also said: brain lesions. I got scared and asked him were they

serious and he said no, you're fine and I've been fine. No more blood sugar

collapses, but I have pretty bad memory problems. But it's good enough. I just

hope it's good enough to keep a job.

Love,

Jean

Hi

Actually, he did recommend lowering sugar, but not very low carbs. He did

mention the ketogenic diet in the book for epilepsy. I just think if he had

mentioned all with low blood sugar to go on a very low carb, we would have had

better improvement in our overall health, as well as better blood sugar control.

I struggled with sugar cravings, and only got a handle on it with very low carb.

Overall, I have less of a problem with brain fog, only once in a while, I

struggle to come up with the right words.

Hi ,

I am low carb and no sugar and I have been craving carbs like crazy. I even

added butter to my oils for variety. But in the last few days the carb cravings

are strong. I finally broke down last night and got up and had cereal at 3:00 in

the morning???? Craving was that bad.

My mood is okay, but my memory is just less than great, not great and I'd like

to see improvement in that. I'm going to see an aryurvedic dr. today. Very

ancient medicine and it worked for my friend and her husband.

Love,

Jean

Hi

Yes, lowing carbs can really induce cravings. I sent through it as well. Try to

stay away from sugar, don't look at it. do dry skin brushing, make sure you have

plenty of water and 1/1/2 teaspoon sea salt a day, and vitamin c. If you slip

up, try to get back on it. If you can handle coconut oil though you don't have

to go as low carb to reach ketosis. Bee says some buckwheat pancakes are good if

you must back off and have some carbs. Dr scott Olson who wrote " Sugarettes "

says he never really had the cravings bad, until he went really low carb. He has

a good website and a small yahoo group.
