Chocolate (was food combining/Dr. D’s books)

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

<<As a nonnie, I should not have the sugar in it but it is one vice I have
not given up…great feel good chemicals in it and hey, lets not be too
obsessive.
There are many sources of unsweetened chocolate or just plain cocoa powder
out there. Prior to finding out I was a nonnie, I would make a chocolate
fudge using gelatin as a base with unsweetened chocolate and cocoa powder
with stevia to sweeten. Although I know stevia is an O nonnie avoid now, I
still use it from time to time since it doesn’t kick off the carb cravings
for me the way sugar does.
Like you said, we can’t be too obsessive :-) Dianne in L.A.

Indole - 3 - Carbinole

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Hi All, I asked on the main BB and have not had a response so will ask here
too.
I have not received my encyclopedia yet and am wondering if anyone can look up
for me…
My ND (who follows general principles of ER but is not into details) has
recommended Indole- 3 -carbinole to balance the estrogens to help prevent Breast
Cancer recurrence. I-3-C is from cruciferous veggies. Now, broccoli is fine for
me - as an O nonnie - but think that cauliflower and cabbage are not. This
product I have is derived from cabbage and since it is a derivative, it may or
may not be OK. Also it smells awful! Even after I take it.
Other ways to get a better estrogen ratio are ground flax which I already use
and soy - perhaps the supplement would be OK but I don’t feel good on soy in
general and it is not an O food.
Another supp suggested in the report (from the test) is diindolylmethane (DIM).
Yes, Axel, I will do a search on it.

food combining/Dr. D’s books

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Hi Axel,
Well, I should keep my big mouth shut about food combining, since I really
haven’t spent enough time understanding it. I do not eat grains with meat, and
I think what you are saying is not to eat grain with protein, period, and that
includes eggs. Thank you.
I have experienced the heightend sensitivity you refer to. The more my
compliance approaches 100%, the less tolerant my body is when I eat an avoid. I
figure this is a good thing, because my “treats” are no longer that. Now an
avoid generally makes me feel very uncomfortable, even a little ill. So, now
they don’t appear appetizing to me.

Delicious Garlic

There are little garlic roasters that should work fine. You would probably have
to search this out….

Millet

Monday, May 16th, 2005

Is millet ‘n carb or a complete protein as I have heard from someone. And
if so, how does it affect o’s in general - we should say off grains as we
are trying to do low carb… is millet then okay to use more often in the
place of other grains?

Delicious Garlic - No Odour!

Monday, May 16th, 2005

Over the holiday period while visiting friends we had this with our dinner.
Delicious and no odour! Absolutely amazing!
Take the garlic and cut off the top. Wrap tight in foil and either bake in
the oven (I am not sure of time) or if you are cooking outside on the fire,
put it right next to the coals and turn frequently. You will know it is
done when you squeeze it and it feels soft. You eat it like this: break the
bud off gently and squeeze the garlic out onto a nice piece of steak. It
looks like toothpaste. Spread it with a knife and enjoy! The taste is
different with a delicate flavour but very nice. No garlic taste in your
mouth the morning after, no odour, just sheer eating pleasure!
Lots of love

kidney stones - new report

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

I just heard on the news this morning about a study on kidney stones.
Apparently, they [used to] tell folks to cut down on calcium, e.g.
dairy products. Now they say that isn’t right. Some study in Italy
says to cut down salt and meat, meaning most animal flesh. Can you
believe? I bet the people in the study were A’s or something (no
offense, Thomas). Anyway, I’m off to take a “Business Writing” class
all day. Will try to check posts at lunch.

folks selling religion on our O list

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

Amanda,
when you sent in the e-mail you received, I recognized it. I have seen a few
other listmembers in the last year forward this same e-mail to us, and wonder
what it was about. My take on this is that you have to realize a lot of
people are not really dedicated to spirituality, not theirs, and not yours.
Religion is just a business to them. When I signed up for this list, I
remember the description was not just that it is for O blood types, but that
it was geared to people with chronic health issues, MS was specifically
mentioned. I have found the list is in reality more “wellness” oriented, and
that’s fine with me. But based on the description that is out there, I would
not be surprised that certain avaricious religion-charlatans are lurking
about, hoping to find a few chronically sick people, who might be desperate
for any shred of hope or assurance. I suspect they just lurk on the list,
scanning the messages for anyone who sounds like they’re looking for some
hope or direction, or anyone who expresses sadness or frustration. Then they

how to give blood

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

The first time I gave blood, about 10 years ago, I fainted. It wasn’t due to
squeamishness, I just got weak as the blood left my body, and I faded out.
But after that, I gave blood regularly for over five years, until I started
taking weekly interferon injections (for possible MS). You have to
understand what you are losing when you give blood. Blood delivers oxygen to
your muscles and to your brain. If you are dehydrated or low in vital
nutrients, your blood is sluggish and not as much of it is delivered where it
is needed. Also the quality of what is delivered is low. That is my
paraphrasing of a much more complex principle. Anyway, I found giving blood
was a breeze, if I ate a big, meaty meal one hour or less before I gave
blood, and included a generous portion of carbs, and if I drank double my
usual water intake all day. That goes for before AND after, so you won’t
feel grungy later in the day. I started giving blood for a friend in the
hospital, so I was very motivated to find a way to do it. Once I got the
hang of it, then it was no big deal to go back every 8 weeks or so.
