[QUOTE="worrywart, post: 860003, member: 45687"] Hello all, Sorry for not answering sooner i had a tummy bug last weekend which has taken some time to shift. (well it couldve been a tummy bug or another round of raw vegan "detox symptoms" i read about). Anyway [USER=91575]@Ian DP[/USER] thankyou for taking an interest and following what i have been doing, also thanks for sharing what you are doing aswell. In answer to your questions: [I][B]Would your lifestyle not be better if you ate meat?[/B] [/I]A: I cant say actually, whilst i like eating meat and would so love to chow down on some spare ribs i (and everyone for that reason) dont know what the underlying cause of the antibodies are and meat might be a controbuting factor. Sure the meat probably wouldnt have a major effect on my blood sugar but its contrary to the diet im following........ [I][B]Why the veg diet?[/B] [/I]A: After being diagnosed three years ago i searched high and low for a solution to what seemed an inevitable progression to T1. The only people i found through my lengthy research were people that had gone all out on this raw vegan diet. I found the Dr Gabriel Cousens 21 Days Raw DVD and was so inspired i decided that was what i'll do. There is a possibility these people are controlling/preventing the onset through what they eat, not necessarily curing themselves, but my GAD and IA2 antibodies have been close to zero and i think if i could control my anxiety they might disappear completely. If anything though i think while im eating like this i dont think (touch wood) it will come on The diet has been hard at times but it does get easier, whether its sustainable i guess we'll see......... [USER=160246]@Winnie53[/USER] thank you so much for your kind comments, its words like those which make me feel much better/confident about what im doing Regarding my supplements i take i've been taking different things at different times, its never really been consistent and is really only based on what i think i should be taking at the time. Since the tummy bug i've cut right back but starting monday i'll go back on my standard regime: 1x good quality multivitamin/day 1x complex vitamin B/day 1x probiotic/day 3x 550mg nicotinamide/day (1 each meal) 10x spirulina/day 1x kelp/day 1xb12 1000mg/day I've been on/off with: magnesium zinc ginkgo biloba (taken for most of the last 3 years) chlorella vitamin d Please keep the questions coming if you are interested but theres so much i've done over the last three years i'd be sat here all day writing it out Edited to remove reference to a supposed cure for Type1.
