Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I skimmed this book last night. It is very good. I had no doubts. is a dr. with three kids so I doubt she had time to read and recommend a bad choice. What is great about the book is the recipes and the way they lay out: this is the kitchen equipment and the food staples you will need. I could have realy used this when we started. Still, it is helpful as I tweak diet at this point. Some of the recipes are inapplicable as gluten, casein, soy, and rice are issues for us and we have to go light on corn to get the best results. However, perhaps if we fully address yeast this may change. No way to know except to try. We have yeast issues. The book, our history, and 's post tell me that. The extent is another story. The child this book was written for is much worse off delaywise than we have in this house. BUT my kids have wierd health stuff so I can't write this off. I have plans to seek out mold testing from the allergist for all of us. I am curious about a few things in this book: 1) Is nyastatin the cure all he describes? I have read a lot about yeast and it does not sound that straightforward as it is described in this book...more of a starting point. 2) They tout sunflower and safflower oil. When I made the coconut oil discovery (I realize allergy prevents some from using this) I read that coconut oil was best for heating and certain limited olive oils could be heated but that oxidation was an issue with the rest. In fact I read that safflower, canola and sunflower oils, the way they our processed and how they get to us, are rancid by the time we open the bottle. Anyone know the deal? We had gains using canola oil heated just the same. So hard to know the truth. Just because I read it does not make it right. 3) He favors elimination rather than rotation. I get why...is there ever a time that is right for a neurotoxin to enter your mouth? But, with some things I favor rotation if for no other reason than we live in a toxic world and that sort of ecercises the body to handle what is to come. That may be foolish. 4) Honey is used a lot in the recipes. Isn't that a yeast feeder? They actually use clover honey. Perhaps that is different. Anyway, just my two cents on a very good book that I'd say was a necessary read for anyone looking to make any diet change as it is universally helpful. If anyone has answers or comments, even if it is to tell me I got a lot wrong, I'd love to hear it. The only way I learn. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Liz, Regarding the honey, if you read the book Breaking the viscious cycle, it reviews the honey and yeast thing. Basically, since honey is a simple sugar, it is absorbed quickly and does not give yeast a chance to feed off of it.kathy ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 But is does feed yeast for some who are already really struggling with it. Every time I would give my boys something made with honey, they would regress majorly. This is even with fanatical SCD adherence.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 That's just it...honey bothers me and so I fear using it as a staple.
