Will do! Thanks (:

I'm blood type A - I do well as a vegetarian/vegan - just hard with my hubby

who is a carnivore!

Several years ago I did a testing - one where you send in money and fill out

all these forms and they tell you if you are Vita or such. I actually was a

rare combination - a balance of all 3. I never really understood what to do

from there - they sent me a bunch of information, but just seemed like way

too much work.

The blood type diet for my type (AB) did not correspond with my food

allergies, but Mercola's guidelines make a lot of sense.

And Candace? Check out ph Mercola's No-Carb Diet and Total Health

Handbook and Cookbook (something like that) for good recipes for candidiasis

patients.

Just so you know you're not alone on this Candace, I did the questionnaires

in s Mortitz' " The Key To Rejeuvenation " and found I was about equal

in all three categories too. At first I was disappointed and then I figured

it was a bonus - I just don't have to fret too much about that aspect of the

healing 'cause I'm middle of the road!

[Guest guest]

How do you balance it out though? Some things that are green for one are

read for another. The person who handled my forms said to eat by the

seasons - but I'm not entirely sure what they meant by that.

I know I do my very best when I'm eating Vegan - or close to it. Some fish

here and there doesn't seem to bother me.

Hi, somehow my words posted were not exactly what I had written. I

wrote that I never fully researched the diet, and that I never

implemented it b/c the doc said my son did not really have PDD. I

do believe the Feingold diet is researched enough for my needs.

Dear Anne,

The idea of eating what you feel like eating as long as it is either

neutral or beneficial is all you need to ease yourself into this diet.

However be sure NOT to eat anything that disagrees with you. Being

listed doesn't make it good for you - just makes it an option for you.

For example banana is listed as beneficial, but I have a life

threatening allergy to it so I don't go near the things nor even allow

one in my house!

Looks like cayenne disagreed with you - so don't use it. Use what you

LIKE that agrees with you.

How I started was to list all the " beneficial " foods from the diet that

I actually know I like - plus all the neutral ones I know I like -

including herbs and spices - and planned my menus around those.

I just had fun with new combinations of old favourites.

If you like a particular ethnic type of food that helps. In my case

Indian curries was it - and I built more around that. The beauty of any

ethnic food area is that it will include many nice combinations of

flavour, you just have to adapt it to BTD food lists.

It's as if the BTD food lists are your grocery store - you don't have to

eat everything in the store - only what you want to choose.

Does that help at all?

Like learning to swim, learning any new thing does not make you the

butterfly champion overnight, so it is worth taking it slow and doing

some practice runs, and don't give yourself a hard time for being

reasonable about adjusting to a change. A lot of worthwhile things take

a bit of effort to get right - but you can make all the mistakes you

need on the way, as that will all be positive " lessons " towards *your*

ideal BTD style of eating. :-)

I did find it easier to look for beneficial meal options in the

beginning than to get hung up on what to avoid. And I found it very

handy to put the little O book in my purse after a while, to help with

grocery shopping and eating out. That way if something is on sale that

you like - for example I recently saw cod on sale and I like all kinds

of fish - you can check whether it is a yes or no food and stock up -

which I did. And for example if you eat at a fast food place you can ask

what fish they use - last I asked it was pollack - and my type A pal

said oh yummy, and I said oh something else :-)

Namaste,

Irene

Thanks...what you said helped a lot...it made me wonder what it was that caused

such a reaction so I again ate some of the maybes today and it wasn't the

cayenne or the brown rice so it must have been the shrimp....I ate it the first

time but the second time it must have been too much....I remember reading in an

allergy book that if you only eat those kind of things that give you problems

once every four days you'll be fine unless it's a true allergy....I will try the

shrimp again in four days....so you guys are trying to find out if the source of

the vegetable glycerin makes a difference...I would think it would....Friday

they are having a seminar at Wild Oats about ER4YT and exercise given by some

doctor. I'm going and I will try to ask afterwards. Any other simple questions?

Thanks for your help...Anne

MILK. It DOESN'T do the body good. Dairy products are probably the worst.

Processed foods of any kind.

Mostly all non-alkaline/non-living foods create mucus. Mucus is creted to

protect the body. Your body is alive and needs living foods with natural

enzymes (fruits and veges) to keep it healthy, most other non-living foods

without enzymes (dead foods) will take the body from a healthy state to a

non-healthy/congestive/degenerative state.

The real reason for mucus in the body is to protect from an acid pH in the

body. Most non-living foods create an acid pH in the body, and thus mucus.

Try eating only raw fruits and veggies for a week and you will see what I am

talking about. :-)

I'm sorry but I totally disagree. Edgar Cayce had a lot of esoteric

knowledge about many things (some positive, some very negative), but modern

alternative science proves that eating only apples for three days and then

olive oil might rid some parasites from the body (though it is unikely) but

" to cleanse ALL toxic forces from any system " is an amazingly naive

statement. If this were the fact all we ever needed to do in life

(regardless of how we eat or lived) is just to do this three day apple/olive

oil diet and we would be able to heal our toxic bodies, since our bodies

would be free of all toxic forces. This would be the only cleanse that

would ever need to be accomplished.

It takes months if not even years to rid a toxic body of " ALL toxic forces "

even with a completely alkine Vegan/living foods eating lifestyle - ALONG

WITH DEEP HERBAL CLEANSING. Parasites will be able to live within any

acidic pH body. Just changing the diet to eat apples for three days and

then olive oil might barely begin to change the body's pH from acidic to

alkaline (depending on how depleted ones body is of organic electrolytes).

It takes time and fasting once the body finally becomes alkaline to remove

all parasites from the body. Parasites can live behind and within muciod

plaque (which is acidic in its composition) even after the body becomes

alkaline. This is the reason why ridding the body of muciod plaque is

essential to ridding parasites from the body.

So I would definitely disagree with Edgar Cayce's statement, and so would

most modern alternative medical science. I don't mean to step on anyones

toes here. I'm just sharing my informed opinion and trying to help and

heal.

My only intake of milk was through home-made yogurt, but allergic reaction

removed from my diet; though it took me a while to figure it out the culprit.

Now I limit cooked meals. Thank you .

Hi Robin:

I am Middle Eastern, and since I came to North America, my diet has blended with

Western life-style. I did rotation diet, yet I wasn't successful detecting any

food allergies. I read " The Metabolic Typing Diet " ; I followed the

instructions, and felt a little improvement, and yet eating too much protein was

new to me, so I gave it up. I have been avoiding raw vegitables because of

indigestion. I will follow three days apples only. Yesterday I started taking

Swedish Bitters; it is to clear up mucus-after two weeks, will see if it does

its work. Thank you.

The most mentioned on the list in the past have been:

Nightshade vegetables that include: peppers,

eggplant, etc...

Dairy

Red Meat

I am not sure if there have been any studies on diet and PA or autoimmune

diseases.

S.

[Guest guest]

There are many people who say give up this or give up that. It seems to me

that if YOU have a mild allergy to this or that, it could, of course, be

aggravating your PA because your immune system is constantly trying to fight

that

food's presence in the body. Giving it up would therefore probably provide

some relief. However, it logically follows that is you are not allergic to

this or that, then giving it up would have no impact other than to deprive you

of foods you love. We had a thread awhile back regarding nightshades - some

people felt they improved when giving them up while some of us we sure there

was no change other than to make us miss tomatoes or green peppers! If

suspect that you would do better without something, give it up for a while and

see if you feel better. You just might! If you don't, you can always add it

back to your diet. The key is to eat a healthy diet in the first place and to

watch your weight.

Hi Mafe,

I have to be on this awful diet because of calicum type kidney stones which I

can't eat any wheat flour, no caffiene, strawberries, black raspberries,

chocolate, etc. So I kind of agree with Kathy about eating what you like and

giving up what you can't eat as long as it is a balance diet. I have to drink

10-12 glasses of water a day which I think is the best thing I have ever done.

Since my teen years I have always drink diet pop-Mt. dew was my favorite and

bypassed water. My skin is alot better and my whole body seem better-I think it

flushes alot of the toxins out.

Dear Janet, I don't know if it means much, but I had a physical therapist

who told me corn leads can cause inflammation and pain. I've noticed the

same thing if I eat corn, but don't seem to have any problem with corn

products. I have also been told that alcoholic has preservatives in it that

can cause bad reactions in your lymph nodes. I know if I drink red wine, or

heaven forbid over drink (those days are long gone now.lol) I ache like

crazy the next day. Especially along any lymph node line. So far those are

the only two things I've noticed that ever bother me. Hope this helps you

some. Love, Fran

Same for me: corn (corn, tortilla chips, corn flour, etc.) is bad, I

get a lot of pain and swelling after eating it (so I don't :-), but I

can tolerate corn byproducts (corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup,

etc.).

We had a poll question a while back on what effect alcohol has on your

If

anyone who hasnt already cares to you can add your data to the poll. Orin

Thanks Fran,

I am still in a great deal of pain since my cruise last week and I feel like

I am 90. I feel like every joint is hurting and my right ankle is so

swollen. I spoke to my rheumy today and he said he does not know what else to

do.

What an ass. I tried double humira and double Enbrel and they have not done

a thing. He is now going to try to get the Remicade approved even though I

was border for Rheumatiod arthritis. There has got to be something else I

can do. He won't give Arava and he said since I am swollen he is not going to

try Prednisone. He said after a few weeks on prednisone and then going off,

it can worsen the P. I am going Wednesday to Florida to visit my sister and

mom and when I get back I am going to go to another rheumy. I am trying to

decide between Kathy's, 's at Columbian Pres. or if you remember

Jerre, she had a good one as well at the hospital for joint disease in NYC.

They

all sound good so I have definitely have to decide.

Thanks again,

Janet
