me.I did not eat meat,one of the main reasons being i could not
tolerate the taste..(guess what i am?)..:)…yup an o!!..I am very
passioned by this way of eating,I can see where all my life eating
avoid foods have done to me,extra weight gain,unmanageable asthma,for
the down side,I am having unbelievable gas and recently my
significant other has said my bad is not so sweet smelling,(there I
said it,lol)..Is it the change in my eating?…specifically the
meat..could it be the post nasal drip? Could anyone share if they
have gone thru this and what natural remedies are out there…thanks

Everyone detoxes differently, although a lot have flu-like symptoms, headache,
diarrhea. And it all depends on how long it can
last. Each person is different. I had major sinus detox for months, felt like I
was drowning. Using deflect does help, you can
also check out the sacrificial molecules found in Live Right book. Stick to your
food list and avoid avoids….

I would like to take this opportunity to remind people
that sea vegetables are extremely useful for their
chelating and detoxifying properties alone.
Various sea vegetables are suited for chelating (binding
to) various radioactive and toxic heavy metals for
example. These vegetables from the sea, containing all
50+ identified nutrients (as opposed to merely 30+ from
land vegetables) also help to heal the linings of the
intestines, lubricating and protecting the intestines,
like flaxseeds has been reported to (kind of explains
their gelling nature).
So be a good O-BTDer and eat your sea vegetables.

Hi Axel,
You talk a lot about sea vegetables, I can understand their nutrition.
However, in the small town area where I live I just feel fortunate to find a
co-op in another state.that can furnish me with Nori, and Dulse. This has
only become available in the past six months. What is the difference between
Kelp and Sea Vegetables? What names would I look for for sea vegetables?
Sarah

Kelp IS a sea vegetable. It is the sea vegetable highest
in iodine, which is a very important mineral for the
proper functioning of the thyroid gland, which plays an
important role in metabolism (and hence, dieting/losing
weight). The different sea vegetables have varying
proportions of minerals and vitamins… looking on the
internet you could find out more than I know off-hand…
as far as names of sea veggies go. I find knowing the
names such as arame, wakame, dulse, hijiki, nori (laver)
kombu and kelp to be of little real-world use because
when I go shopping for sea vegetables I go to the asian
grocers, not the HFS because the HFS is so expensive;
the asian grocers don’t have english translaters
available and the packaging is written in various asian
languages so… I have to identify them by sight. Since
there are different kinds of sea vegetables of the same
species I really can’t pinpoint EXACTLY what I’m eating
except for the laver and kombu.
P.S. though we aren’t well-suited for legumes, we can
make them even more digestible with seaweed. After
soaking and rinsing the legumes (12-48 hours) to remove
the anti-nutrients simply throw in a strip of kombu
after bringing the pot ‘o beans back to a gentle simmer
for the long cook.

Thank you Axel. As Asian markets aren’t any closer than 3 hours away, I’m
just thankful that the HFS and co-ops handle them. I’ll check on the
Internet on dulce, kombo, and Nori as these are the ones available to me.
Dulse seasons beans well, also. That I’ve been able to find out. Do you know
if there is a location to find out the nutritional values and what they
detox? If you don’t, I’ll see if I can find anything and share it.

About two weeks ago Axel and I had a ’stool talk’ conversation running for a
while and at the end of it, we both decided that my body went into major
detoxing.
Shortly after that discussion, I was fine for about a week - peak condition, no
problem.
Yesterday suddenly I got this massive headache and my sinuses are draining like
you can’t believe! I have not eaten anything wrong! No avoids, nothing! Could
this be a continuation of the detoxing, and if so, is it normal to come again so
soon?
I have decided to just fast today to try and get rid of this headache. I am
planning to take lots of water today. Will this help?

Hi Axel - no I didn’t take any probiotics. My body settled down all on its own
to its normal regular self. For a week that was. Now my head feels twice its
size.

Hi, Hilda,
Somewhere (I can’t remember where) Dr. D. explained that the wheat lectins might
take up to two years to completely get out of the system, sooo, hang in there,
you may have found just another way of detoxing. Dairy does the sinus thing to
me big time.

Hi Hilda,
I’m Ons and my system is pretty reactive to everything in my
environment and it gets real crazy if I go off the ER diet. When I
get headaches its a sure sign my GI tract is upset about something
and I immediately take massive dosages of probiotics. I’m real fussy
about what probiotics I take as I’ve noticed a big diff in how I
respond to them - many seem ‘dead’ and are a waste of money. Natren
is a good brand….I’m currently experimenting with KE-99. The thing
with probiotics is there are different types and they live in diff
areas of the gi tract.
With headaches, diahrea and nausea that won’t go away I use larger
amounts of bifidus (bifido) as it not only helps the gi tract it
helps the liver detox too. Acidopholus is better for the upper gi
tract which I use a lot for short term stomach upset. (upper? or is
it middle…sorry I forget. Bulgarius is for digestion so maybe
thats the upper one.)
I’d forgotten about the charcoal until Axel mentioned it. I used to
use it years ago with great success. For some people, like myself,
the best detox is going lite on foods, using LOTS of juiced greens,
taking probiotics and just patiently allowing the body time to detox
at its own speed.
Hope your feeling beeter.
Bonny
all on its own to its normal regular self. For a week that was. Now
my head feels twice its size.

My question would be “What kind of ’supportive drink’?” What are the
Reminds me of the time I
ingredients? I generally believe that organic HB vegetables (raw is
good) and organic grassfed meat (the rarer the better) is all the detox
that a Type O needs. I know that I wouldn’t try going more than 24
hours without meat. I did that one time while visiting my vegan friend
in Berkeley (Type Bnow on the BTD!YEAH!). Let’s just day that nobody
wanted to be around Ryan after a day or so.
tried to be vegetarianyeah, that lasted for…a day! I’m reposting my
“detox” for those who are new or have forgotten it.
Cheers,
Ryan
The best way for a Type O to detoxify is to eat a diet consisting
exclusively of high quality protein (organic grassfed meat and
wild-caught HB fish) and organic green vegetables (at least 50% raw).
All carbs in the form of fruits, tubers, squash, pumpkin, grains, beans,
and dairy are to be avoided. The only carbs you should be getting are
the tiny amounts from the fibrous vegetables. Nuts should also be
avoided during the detox, as they are hard to digest. First cold
pressing organic extra-virgin olive oil, organic cold-pressed flaxseed
oil, and organic grassfed ghee are the fats to use during a detox.
Gerolsteiner water with a squeeze of lemon or lime has been a great
tonic for me. Green and herbal teas should be your other primary
drink. I would recommend eating this way for a week or two at the most,
as your body will need some carbs after a while. Start phasing in live
walnuts and almonds, HB tubers, pumpkin, and HB fruits. If you feel up
to it, you can introduce some rice, HB beans, and manna bread. Wait at
least a month before you reintroduce neutral grains. You may find it
best to eliminate these altogether, as many of us have. Be strong and
keep us updated on your progress.

Hi Trish, Axel, Ryan, Thomas,
My ND recommended a vegetable detox for 4 days for hubby and me - dh is an A.
Right now I am cleaning up my diet and feel challenged by that…some slips this
summer re milk and wheat and much more fruit than is good for me.
The de-tox suggested also includes a rice protein drink called Biocleanse that
supports Phase 2 detoxification. It is like UltrClear + for those that know that
product. Ingredients are pretty good for me although I don’t much care for it.
What kind of a detox did you do, Trish?
I agree with all you that suggested that a HB diet would work well….and the
real beef, Axel. I really do not do well when I miss my animal
protein…organic of course.
Thanks for all the advice. Ann
March 16th, 2006 at 4:05 pm
Agreed.

Hi Ann and group
I would like to explain the detox that I did and would appreciate some
opinions . . . keeping in mind that it was specifically a liver
detoxification and it was done before I started on the ER4YT diet. After
the two week detox was complete I started on the diet.
First four days - spread throughout the day:
5 Greens + Transform shakes, with 2 Tablespoons of blueberries and 2
Tablespoons ground flax seed. Supplements - 3 Thorne L.C.H., 3 Thorne
Calcium D-Glucarate and 6 Tyler Detoxication Factors Phase 1 and 2 nutrients
Next ten days - 3 of the above shakes a day, same supplements, for the other
two meals small amounts of veggies or fruit (but no tomatoes, oranges,
bananas or potatoes). Lemon juice for seasoning.
I had amazing results with this . . . but it was the first detox I have ever
done, so I have nothing to judge it by.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Trish

Hi Ann
Greens+ Transform is soy based.
My amazing results were: nearly all my eczema cleared up, heart burn,
indigestion and gas almost completely eliminated, energy level sky rocketed,
texture of skin and hair totally changed, bags under eyes dissappeared, heat
and light intolerance disappeared, numbness in feet disappeared, blood
pressure went back to normal . . . etc
All of these were things that I had put up with for years and the MDs gave
me drugs and tests with no results at all (if not making some things worse).
By staying on the ER4YBT I have been able to maintain my good health.
Trish
Lowell Barron <lowell.barron@…
Hi Trish, I do not know what is in Transform but perhaps it is similar to
what has been recommended for me except that for me, the Greens is covered
by making an alkaline broth from green beans, spinach, zucchini, celery and
parsley. Also a lot of veggies and limited number of “shakes” which are rice
based and formulated to cover the detox. The problem area for me is that it
has fructose in it and as a nonnie that is bothersome.
What results did you get that were amazing? I think that my hubby will do
the cleanse - he is an A and will do well on it. I will take the supps that
suppport the detox and do veggies and white fish, perhaps eggs and I haven’t
decided on the oil yet. Possibly EV Olive for my particular physiology. I
tend to be way too high on Omega 3 so flax is perhaps not a good choice. ND
is back on line on Tuesday and so I will consult with him.
I really appreciate all the info from Axel and Ryan and others and it is
important for me to be very well informed. However, I feel that this is not
a “do-it-yourself” project for me because I have had a lot of serious health
problems. There is just way to much info out there and we are all so very
individual. I appreciate Dr. D’s brilliance but he does not know ME and my
problems or physiology. I looked at the long list of what I could take and
do not feel comfortable taking that number of supps. Some of it I have tried
before such as Deflect and it is not suitable for me because of the Fucus in
it and my tendency towards to hyperthyroid.
I am off today to get some menu plans for blood type and recipes for O
nonnies…also for A’s (for hubby)and things that work for both. A woman
here in London, Ont has done a lot of work and had many of her clients
contribute so it should be a help.
Also off to the market to stock up on organic veggies and better bread for
hubby.
Good luck on your program. Ann
