Some of my friends still live there. His then playmate has a bothersome psoriasis now, and my son inspired him to try a gluten-free diet (I think it is the easiest food limitation possible unless you have to avoid even tiny crumbs) . Recently I talked by Skype with the young man's mother, and she told me that his psoriasis got much better.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-11734755529623342462015-05-17T21:06:44.194-05:002015-05-17T21:06:44.194-05:00Me, who hasn't had a cold in 4 years, gets lec...Me, who hasn't had a cold in 4 years, gets lectured by GP that LC/Atkins is "silly and dangerous"' as it eliminates food groups, and yet the sickly vegan suffering from colds and anemia is practically treated like a saint & told to take iron tablets...grrrr....true storyJasmineJohendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807503482277639920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-64584682918631825502015-05-16T18:25:24.098-05:002015-05-16T18:25:24.098-05:00thank you, Amy! :-) ...i think when we know more...thank you, Amy! :-) ...i think when we know more about epigenetics, it's going to be GAME CHANGING for the medical world! <br /><br />it was a real surprise to me when i had a chance to begin wandering in OLD WORLD cemeteries (i've always enjoyed doing it here in the US) -- people of really advanced ages are buried in Edinburgh, in very-old graveyards. i remember that distinctly; we have this image that people usually died at ages implied by life-expectancy statistics, but no -- these old folks balanced out infant mortality, to make a forty-something LE actually pretty impressive.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-41103644917484802392015-05-16T18:19:16.396-05:002015-05-16T18:19:16.396-05:00:-) when the premium coffees came out with flavor...:-) when the premium coffees came out with flavors, decades ago, i was very excited about them ... but i quickly palled, because they're so artificial-smelling! back about a quarter-century ago, i could hardly bear to walk down the detergent aisle at the grocery, because of the perfumes. :-P<br /><br />"i'd rather chew an aspirin" -- LOL!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-68736971361117351862015-05-16T05:33:16.318-05:002015-05-16T05:33:16.318-05:00I haven't read Dr Prudden, will look it up Tha...I haven't read Dr Prudden, will look it up Thanks!Larcanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109743909244156390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-67824226323394382582015-05-15T13:27:29.254-05:002015-05-15T13:27:29.254-05:00"Unfortunately you can't take the good of..."Unfortunately you can't take the good of the internet without being regularly punched in the face by the crazy."<br /><br />"Given the amount of meat I eat, I'm pretty sure I'd know if it was rotting in my colon.

I remember ridiculously long comment threads about Inuits being in ketosis or not , I think myself that it is not related to the benefits of ketosis or any LC diet. Here we see the difference between a paleo approach and a LCarbing - paleo is more like a religion, food has to be "real" first of all, but LCarbing is result-oriented - you eat or don't eat this or that because it affects you in a certain way. For paleos the traditional aspect of a food is more important, and it could be absolutely enough for many people, but not for everybody. Wooo started her diet eating almost exclusively salami and cream cheese rolls + sugar-free Cool aid. Now she noticed the difference between the meat grown without hormones and antibiotics and the conventional one, but so called "clean food" absolutely didn't become not her priority.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-71027957666096244092015-05-14T11:17:08.490-05:002015-05-14T11:17:08.490-05:00I was really hurt by some of the shit slung at me....I was really hurt by some of the shit slung at me.
