I have to say, the words 'might', 'may' and 'current thinking' always make me pretty distrustful of the authenticity of any given statement. The words 'may' or 'might', 'can' put things into the Public Psyche that are unproven or unconfirmed, and that is pretty snidey. Shredded wheat 'may' be...

I think the fact that I am not anti-carb somehow got lost in the melee. Whilst I do believe that cutting out all processed improperly prepared grain-based foods is important, I don't necessarily believe that all people should be very low carb. The fact that I seem to have to be is irrelevant...

Oh dear Ka-mon. I thought I'd go and have alook at Anthony Colpo's website. Full of himself isn't he. I found this on there. http://anthonycolpo.com/?p=874 If low-carb can cause mineral deficiencies, and low-fat can cause mineral deficiencies, then anyone who is on both is in a bit of a...

Thanks Smidge. I have had all sorts of weird things happen during the time I have been on this healing journey. This is just the latest. They come, stay for a while and then they go. It is part of the process of my body healing itself and sorting itself out. I am confident that I am giving...

Viv, this is interesting on the use of Coconut oil to aid Alzheimer's sufferers. It may not be a cure, but perhaps it is a step in the right direction. Perhaps the fatty acids enable the brain to make connections it is unable to make without them. http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/res ...

Hi Ailz. I can't lose weight either. I only have to sniff carbs and on it goes. I have been assured by the lady who runs the healing diet I am on that it will move eventually once all my hormones have sorted themselves out, but I haven't a clue how long that will take. I can only get a very...

Thanks for the inquest Ka-Mon. And thanks for the clarification Phoenix. Being in the early hours when I posted I failed to clarify that I meant calories not weight. Unfortunately, most of the Medical Profession - and the Scientific Community has been duped by the same untruths and...

It's not about what I would consider to be low - or high fat for that matter. The criteria for low-fat is that generally set by the Government guidelines and that is supposedly the way many people eat today. And sadly, much of the fat they do eat is pretty awful stuff. The criteria for high...

The thing is Ken, that we are way too programmed into the idea that you go to the Doctor and get you 'pill to end all ills' and everything will be hunky dory immediately. Maybe the pills take the pain away, or stop the diarrhea, or bring your blood pressure down, but they very very rarely, if...

Ken, I also managed to control my diabetes within a few weeks by going low-carb, but by the time I started the healing diet (14 months ago to be exact) I was very sick and had ended up in Hospital on more than one occasion. On several occasions my BP went through the roof and I was so bloated I...

You see, that's the problem. People always want to try and 'replace' carb foods with other veg, and it just doesn't work. Of course cauliflower doesn't taste like rice - it isn't rice! But mashed, with a little Marigold bouillon powder (from Tesco, etc), a knob of butter and a dash of cream...

My concern about low-carb and low-fat is that as the body can only burn carbs in the form of glucose, or fat in the form of ketones as fuel then if an individual is on low-carb AND low-fat, the only other place they could get enough fuel from is their muscles. Of course they feel ok because the...

Re: ...and 'they' say higher protein is bad for the kidneys. As far as the bread is concerned, something dawned on me today. My Mum had Coeliac Disease. We didn't know it until about 4 weeks before she died, but there were big clues, like the fact that she was type 1 Diabetic, had anaemia all...

Re: ...and 'they' say higher protein is bad for the kidneys. I would think that the reason your blood sugar is less controllable in the UK is because you will have to go a long way to find traditionally prepared bread - and probably food in general, of the type you consume in France. Most...

Re: ...and 'they' say higher protein is bad for the kidneys. Well, as I am sure you well know - one thing often leads to another.....that's the sheer enjoyment of discovery - not standing still and stagnating in one spot..... Umm, let's see where the thread takes us today.....

Re: ...and 'they' say higher protein is bad for the kidneys. A very telling quote from the 'Whole don't mean wholesome' book by Clive Lawler.... During her research some years back, the Australian author Amy McGrath came across Government issued pamphlets released in the 1950s warning...

Re: ...and 'they' say higher protein is bad for the kidneys. Phoenix - nearly every post of mine is a magnu opus :lol: it is good that you are able to get a more traditionally made bread. To get a bread that is highly nutritious is a good - and pretty rare thing. Where you live can make a...

Re: ...and 'they' say higher protein is bad for the kidneys. Thinking of that article on bread in the Daily Mail - I have been doing some research this evening, and came across an article on sourdough bread. I can't eat anything with gluten in it because of the reactions I get. My husband...
