Hi there, my spleen was removed at age 11 after it ruptured in a car accident.
All these years I have been under the impression that the function of the lost
organ was taken over by the liver and bone marrow only to hear stuff to the
contrary this week. Anybody out there with some info on this?

Remember that the primary objective of this diet is to get and stay well.
Weight loss is a byproduct. You’ve got to get on it and stay on it.

try replacing your cola addiction with these steps:
1.) wean yourself on only specialty colas from the 50s which ONLY
contain PURE CANE SUGAR adn not the cheap corn-syrup infused stuff
you’re currently consuming
2.)start drinkin the lemon-flavored perrier 2 weeks later
3.)then 1 week aftwerwards…..get down and dirty with carbonated
water. Now your cured.
I have no clue how to do this program since i really don’t luike to
drink much of anything
Being that it was tuesday(my “off the diet day”)…..i chose to use
myself as a guinea pig to help examine ACID REFLUX.
If you DON’T want aacid reflux, don’t do the following
example meal #1:SAUTEED PASTA/BALSAMIC VINEGAR PASTA SAUCE/CHEESE-
STUFFED ITALIAN SAUSAGES
(followed by 4 freshly made cookies & TIRAMASU ICE CREAM)
example meal #2:WOLFGANG PUCK PIZZA(SAUSAGE/PEPPERONI) & BBQ SAUCE
(followed by 4 frehsly made cookies & TIRAMASU ICE CREAM)
example meal #3: example meal #1 but instead of the funky orange &
green angel hair pasta, substitute garlic chicken-stuffed ravioli
with the stuff(followed by 4 freshly made hot cookies)
Also, DRINK WATER OR SNAPPLE CACTUS JUICE WHILE EATING ANY one of
those meals above.
2 extra strength gas-x capsules may be mandatory to relieve the ACID
REFLUX
Damn right, Ham Bone! There is no sense to the idea that for a few days or
weeks each year we are kind and beneficient to each other, then the rest of
the year we cut each other off in traffic, elbow to take cuts in line, etc.
Is that so complicated?????
Oh, here’s a good one. How about asking someone, “How are you today?”, and
then really listening to their answer?
SALTY DELIGHTS
had to be fried and eaten hot:(rice/tortillas/seasoned battered fries
or veggies/sauteed pasta/pizza
“SUGARY” TASTIES
more warm the better…..
had to be CHEWY
…………………………cookies/cakes(anything with a RICH mix
of eggs/milk/flour)/ice cream on top of a brownie/PUMPKIN PIE CHEWY
CRUST/COOKIE DOUGH
/But i always couldn’t get into the “halloween - style”
baddies…..rock candies, gummy bears, candy bars, (that ORIGINAL
power bar that tasted like a pure sugar bar)
Anyone like that….is that common among “us” non-sectretors.
With regference to NEUTRALS and BENEFICIALs….
I tried last year to hit up my omega 3’s & calcium requirements wiht
daily sardines. YECK!! further proof that somewhere inside me is a
RABID DISTASTE FOR FISH. I could never be aneskimo.
i’ve had to do extensive rotating of veggies to prevent what happened
with a few of the O-adherent items;. Anyone else?
Like, I can only consistently eat zucchini or squash SKINS!!! The
more fried/sauteed the better.
Also, any squash eatend more than once a meal for awhile….that’s it
for me.
Typically the ORANGE/YELLOW versions of any kind of veggie gets
me “sicker” quicker. Even when i throw ina yellow or orange bell
pepper…..it’s just WAY TOO SWEET!!!
So, to all of you HARDCORE adherents, ROTATE THEM FOODS!!!!!
They’ll only ever admit whatever they look absolutely ridiculous not
admitting. If they admitted benefits to anything more then drug companies
would lose out on too much $

When you say “jesus bread” served at Catholic mass, surely you are referring
to the Communion wafer. And the ritual by which an approximately 8-year old
child is put through a study course of intense propaganda and Catholic
indoctrination (”Good Catholics don’t ask questions like that, Donna!”),
culminating in the little ones being allowed to participate in Communion:
that is called Confirmation.
You’re lucky, you forgot most of this stuff!
Well, mine I know exactly what it is. I have degenerative disk
disease. It’s genetic and I’ve had it since I was about 12. Two of
my disks are pancakes and one is slowly leaking. My L3 is a flat one
and when I get too heavy, it hurts more. It gets inflamed and puts
pressure on nerves that go to my legs causing horendous pain. Most
days it is okay. I have some sort of limp, to what degree depends on
the day. I hardly notice some days until some idiot points it
out. “Gee are you okay? You’re limping” When I get my weight down,
it hurts less and I limp less. I just want to stave off surgery as
long as possible (forever if I can).
Thank you for your help. I wish it were easy in my case. Darn
genetics!
