Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Okay all, I've been wanting to post about this for a while but haven't finished the book yet so I was hesitant but with all of this health talk I feel that now is the time to share. First, for your sake and for the sake of the environment Don't buy bottled water if at all possible. Invest in a good quality Reverse Osmosis Filter and a stainless steel water bottle. Second, avoid Artificial anything - especially sweeteners - also anything refined or processed. If it doesn't look like something your great grandparents would recognize on their table you probably shouldn't be eating it. Most of our food SHOULD NOT come in a package! Third, check out Sally Fallon's book Nourishing Traditions. Also this website: http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm It is eye opening and educational. Basically, moving forward is great in many areas however when it comes to diet we need to move backward to a simpler more wholesome way of eating. The way our ancestors did. Fourth, the best way to make an impact on any industry - food processors, refiners etc. is to NOT give them your money!!!! Buy only whole unprocessed, unrefined, non-GMO foods. Grass-fed meats and organic produce. Fifth, even the most natural of sweeteners should be used sparingly. Here are some reasons why: http://www.mercola.com/article/sugar/dangers_of_sugar.htm Sorry if it's too much info - don't mean to preach and I don't think I know it all - I'm still learning just like everyone else but I do know that the SAD - Standard American Diet - is just killing us all. > > I see there is an occasional person that thinks LDN is not > helping > > them.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just be careful if you use xylitol. Yes, it’s good for your teeth and a good sugar substitute, but if you have a dog you need to be very cautious. It is toxic for dogs and some have died. It messes up their blood sugar. We have had to make 2 calls to Animal Poison Control in the past month (at $60 a pop) because our dog got in to some sugarless gum in someone’s purse. The second time it was a rush to the hospital because she got the whole pack. Depending on your dog’s size and the amount of xylitol in the gum, a few sticks can be enough to cause damage. All the more so for those who bake with xylitol and think that letting the dog have an occasional treat from that food is ok. It’s not.

It is actually beneficial for our health and teeth. www.xylitolnow.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I have had the same problem, and I don’t have IBS or Crohn’s. I can’t even chew xylitol gum without having digestive issues. Judy (a different one) Re: health thoughts Posted by: " JC Freeman " gwayles@... gwayles Wed May 28, 2008 2:52 pm (PDT) , I am not so sure about xylitol. I have IBS - or so I'm told - along with what I think are several other immune-related conditions, which I hope will respond to LDN, if I can find a doctor to prescribe it. In any case, I have found that xylitol, as well as all the other sugar substitutes, are quite effective at bringing on INCREASES in the IBS symptoms. Meantime, sugar is not a problem. Can't say for stevia - haven't tried it. This leads me to believe that most sugar substitutes, including xylitol, are not safe for everyone. I wonder if anyone else has had similar reactions?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 BOB C. - my hospital stay was a disaster, as far as diet was concerned!! i never got any of the foods i requested, the WAY i requested them!! if i requested dry chicken slices on white bread, it always came up either with gravy or mayonnaise, always on brown bread!! no dairy - always got milk, butter, and cheese!! the doctors were worried about my weight loss; but i couldn't eat all that i was given to eat!! one evening, i had only mashed potatoes for dinner, as i couldn't eat anything else on the platter. the tea was always cold, too!! all in all - one miserable experience!! marshiris@...

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I think I am late coming into this sweetener conversation and may have missed something, but has anyone read the report about Monsanto and Aspartame? Aspartame poisoning mimics the symptoms of MS. If ANYONE is using Aspartame in ANY amount they should stop now. IMO, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
