lynda,
i could ask my GP when i next see him, i doubt he will prescribe s it's "off-lbel" though as he refused me LDN which ive been taking for 5 years

thanks lynda, those dressings look great, but they are not available yet, so will have to go for a different dressing, any thoughts on these 2 dressings for pressure sore - that isnt healing after 18 months - located on the natal cleft / tailbone: hydrocolloid dressings – these contain a special gel...

thanks JL and vesta, i will continue to eat wholemeal rice and gluten free oats and see what happens, in my breakfast smoothie i have a cup of spinach cup of brocolli and a carrot, all boiled jl, i recall yo saying something about spinach being best when boiled, if i remember correctly? as id much p...

ive been eating quinoa for the past 7 days, 50gram servings 1-2 times a day, after the fifth day i had a bowel incontinence, then today i have again! from googling i realise quinoa works as a laxative (which explains the accidents, i hope) so am going to have to cut the quinoa out, could anyone reco...

ok, your fat intake looks good JL! As i am reintroducing 1 supplement every 3 days, ive realised its gonna take me over a month to get back on all of them, including the important ones like vit D3, zinc & Magnesium, do you think it might be wise to just immediately take the vit d3, zinc and magn...

okay, but now im on the Swank diet, it stresses no more than 15grams of sat fats and 50g unsaturated fats a day, so according to this site http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3085/2 1/4 cup of almonds contains: 136kcal 1g sat fats 11.5g total fats, which is 18% of RDA Including...

thanks jl for this routine, thanks for those links, i do take this vit E daily but i remember you didnt approve of it: http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=901&prodid=623&cid=69 so i could drop this and just eat a few daily sunflower seeds/almonds re flaxseeds, i cou...

thanks for explaining lynda, the BCG vaccine i had at 15 (maybe i was 14) does make me wonder, i was always a stocky/chunky kid/teenager then around the age of 14 i lost all the weight and have been stick thin every since, my MS symptoms also started at 14-15, diagnosed at 17 maybe the BCG started m...

Lynda, I had the BCG when i was 15 , i remember, but looking at the symptoms of low blood sugar / hypoglycemia, i only have one or two which could just be from my lack of calories consumed, Lets say my pancreas is producing too much, is treatment effective? what would you expect from it? what do oth...

Is coconut meat/flesh allowed on the Swank/Jelinek diet?

I've read coconut oil is forbidden due to the high saturated fat, but can't find any comments on other coconut produce like coconut meat/flesh or coconut water?

i know coconut meat is high in sat fats so assume it isn't allowed?

lyndacarol, i would have had all the vaccinations all UK children get, why do you ask? Bartman, i dont know what infection i had on the coccyx but it was c,early due to the location being so near the anus and so must have come in contact with feces, i took 7 days of oral flucloxacillan, with no herx...

thanks JL, i know the variables make it so much harder to work out, im sooo tempted to stop the wahls/paleo diet and return to my tasty diary/gluten diet but im scared that i will miss out in repairing the myelin damage, and my walking could improve - this is the only treatment that claims to have d...

-RE Copper, while i have been feeling worse, symptoms and mobility , there has been several variables. so its unlikely the increased (6/8mg) copper is causing problems, based on my mild deficiency. but on the same token, should i have been feeling better afta 7 days on the increased copper dose? for...

thanks for the paleo link, its just a shame Dr Wahls 'new book isnt out till 2014, i could really do with strict guidelines of The Wahls paleo diet - i do appreciate one size doesn't fit all though After having an eye test with an optician a few weeks back, he saw signs of nystagmus - involuntary vi...

its okay, i've stopped ALL my vitamins today, including copper. can't get much worse than i am at the moment, i remember i stopped all my vitamins in August and September for my other bloods, 5 days off vitamins each time, before bloods being drawn I weighed my dinner meat = Organic Beef mince patti...
