 Post subject: Dessert
PostPosted: Sat Aug 18, 2012 9:23 pm 
I think I found the perfect dessert for a hot summer day and it's not ice cream. Frozen cherries! Clean the cherries and then spin them dry in a salad spinner. Freeze them in a ziploc bag. For dessert, take out a dozen or so and enjoy! Don't forget to watch out for the pits of course. Depending on the temperature of your freezer, you may want to let them sit for a minute or ...

 Post subject: Red meat increases inflammation ... even organic?
PostPosted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:51 am 
Ive read MD's like Swank all prohibit eating red meat
Some say organic red meat is ok, but some MD's say all red meat increases inflammation so bad for MS.
Is there any journals or evidence that organic red meat is not inflammatory or harmful to MS people?

 Post subject: Dietary fat, not glucose, is the preferred fuel
PostPosted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 6:39 pm 
Perhaps we have been misled about diet once again; maybe the no-fat/low-fat diets recommended by many, from Swank on, are not the best for fighting MS – according to this article by Dr. Joseph Mercola, dietary fat, not glucose, is the preferred fuel of human metabolism: http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitnes ... ucose.aspx

Quote:
Conventional advice has focused on low-fat diets for weight loss and heart disease prevention, but again and again, studies demonstrate ...

 Post subject: Hemp oil
PostPosted: Sun Aug 12, 2012 9:08 pm 
Was wondering if anyone tried it? It is high in omega 3's. Has the GLA.. it really looks a lot like what we need. I am not talking about the stuff made from weed. I am talking about what comes from the vitamin store.
I know many of take flax and fish oil. It looks like to me this stuff would make a great addition to get the good fats we need.
Any input..

An interesting article on diet and epigenetics...


Your Diet Affects Your Grandchildren's DNA, Scientists Say
http://www.livescience.com/21902-diet-e ... ldren.html

You are what you eat, the saying goes. And, according to two new genetic studies, you are what your mother, father, grandparents and great-grandparents ate, too.

Diet, be it poor or healthy, can so alter the nature of one's DNA that those changes can be passed on to the progeny. While ...

 Post subject: Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
PostPosted: Sun Jul 29, 2012 5:34 pm 
A documentary film discussing the benefits of a diet similar to Dr. Wahls' diet. It tracks the progress of two men who lost weight (one who was morbidly obese) and cured themselves of urticaria, an autoimmune inflammatory condition and a woman who cured herself of migraine headaches and restored her physical energy levels.
