Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 She'll need liver detox, since the drugs are filtered through it. dandelion tea would be good, and beets. Milk-thisle should also be helpful. I would juice the beets and add some carrot and have her drink it raw. It tastes better with carrot juice. Lots of fresh filtered or puried water too. Small fish would be safest, like sardines, but the omega 3 in Fresh Alaskan salmon would be great for her brain and health in general. I'd limit eggs 1-2 a week. For B-12 get dissicated liver pills from a HFStore. Cooking food destroys the enzymes and vitamins, so as much raw foods and nuts she can eat, that would be really good for her. Almonds, roasted cashews (raw can be toxic so be careful with cashews to get roasted), brazil nuts etc. Peanuts have CoQ-10 or just get the supplements if she can't tolerate peanuts. CoQ-10 is really really essential. Vegan would be best at this time, no animal meats. They fog the mind and tax the digestive system. Get blueberries, high in anti-oxidants. Look for foods known to mop up free radicals. yeh, I'd avoid the gluten to be on the safe side for a few months in case she ended up with leaky gut from the meds. If you are familiar with the opioid excess theory then you know both dairy and gluten can end up as caseomorphine and gluteomorphine, which of course cloud the brain. I just put up for ebay auction 3 GF books..Special Diets for special kids by , and 2 Gluten-free gourmet cookbooks by Bette Hagman, and also a cookbook by the AMA Family Health Cookbook which seems to have some excellent recipies. I have no room in my tiny kitchen for cookbooks so am selling them all. My aunt is going thru that over medicated right now. She's 83. She was fine until she was given the wrong drugs for a week, which gave her a stroke. All she needed to do was sleep off an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. The uppers caused a stroke then they put her on bi-polor meds (she's never been bi-polor) by mistake, now they have her on anti-depressants and now she can't read or speak and her personality went away. My cousin (her only child) is a chemist so having a real hard time believing the doctors are killing her, but she is slowly seeing the light. She won't give her CoQ-10, she didn't want to since they aren't FDA regulated like meds.... so I told her then get her peanuts... she said well ok I'll get her Snickers bars. Way to go, Jack. At least Snickers are safer than drugs!!! It's a start.

I'm trying to figure out what to feed her. My gut tells me " Inflammation Nation " or Vegan. I lent out my Inflamation Nation book and my friend is on vacation till next week. Is anyone familair with it enough to get me going for a week or so? If I remember oats were bad...is all gluten bad? and only certian fish was OK. What about eggs. I might just put her on Vegan until I get the book back. But any thoughts would be appriaciated. Thanks, Holly Quote
