Update on Dad

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

My dad is still sort of in a holding pattern. He has meetings with two
doctors next week to discuss two different types of treatments. One is
radical surgery, which if the cancer did not spread past the prostate then
they consider this a cure. The other is a cryogenic treatment where they
freeze the prostate and it essentially dies and remains in the body dead.
They cannot be certain they have gotten it all, but it’s a much more minor
day surgery. I’m sure even after he picks a treatment he’ll have to wait to
be treated by the right doctor so I don’t think things will change much for
at least a month or so. I got mom and dad high-speed internet for Christmas
and it has been a great gift as dad has been researching heavily on the
prostate. I think it has given him more of a sense of empowerment. He is a
Type B and he and mom have begun heavily adhering to Living Right 4 their
type. I even spent part of one day making a list of all the common neutral
and beneficial foods between Type B Secretors (Dad) and Type O Non-Secretors
(Mom). If anyone would like a copy of the list I’d be glad to forward it.

non edibles and sea and ski

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Wow, interesting, remember the sun tan lotion sea and ski? I got terrible rashes
when I used this, coppertone had no problem at all. Only the Sea and Ski did
this.

another question for the ladies

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I have a happy story on this front, she has had her first pain free
AND short period ever. She was so pleased with the changes so thank
you all for your advice. Long may this positive change continue :O)
I am hoping that because things seem to have settled down this time
that they may be able to be controlled long term. I would hate to put
her through all of the medical specialist business!

Pummelo

I was given a Pummelo. It looks like a large (if you can believe that)
grapefruit. It is not in the Typebase. Anyone know if its ok?

ER4YT diet and Perfectionism

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Ham Bone surprised me by bringing up a valid discussion topic: perfectionism
(notice the double space following the colon).
Here is his inspiring passage:
“But the main thing is that this ain’t the catholic church, where you
get your orders from “on high” ….and where you wait for word from
to determine if doing this or that(eating this or that) is allowed by
the pope(dr. d’adamo)…and that if you make a mistake(eating an
avoid) you will have to go to confession(this board) and ask for
forgiveness and then basically hold in your true sins(cravings) until
you go out and commit sin(binge) because you’ve been raised to be a
perfectionist(the best self-liars in the world).
I know..cause I’ve gone through all that. I come here for a
little insight into creative ways to satisfy my palate, see about
recipes, maybe provide some happiness, but NOT to get worried about
if what i’ve been eating is WRONG. I also don’t get into all this

skin cleansing

Monday, September 25th, 2006

This is in response to Aduladi’s post on February 13th:
“Subject: Re: Newbie here! Please comment on my “attack plan”…
Well you may not have acne you might have boils..also
it is a fallacy that don’t get acne as an adult. As
for will this diet help - I can only say most likely.
Most people find that their skin improves immensely if
they get on the healthy bandwagon. I think the skin
eliminates toxins, etc., which can cause your skin to
look unhealthy (the same as any other organ that is
taxed to do its work). The best thing is to just try
it - doesn’t hurt and it will probably help.”
Axel:
Yeah, the largest organ of the human body is also an organ of elimination.
Anyone here experimented with niacin, not the flush-free kind but the

Roughing Up Ham Bone

“Anyways…..”why do {you} advocate eatin avoids!?” Why? Well, I
just think you guys are independed enough to understand that a cravin
is a craving. And if you are cravin something “bad,”(according to
some doc on the east coast) you should go after it. There’s
something in it you want….and you should take time to munch down on
it to figger out not just the components of the “bad” food but also
whether you put yourself in the situations where you end up eating
foods you neverreally craved. I probably can’t explain it as i
understand it…..cause i always forget what i wanna say when i
transfer mental thoughts to my fingertips on the keyboard. Also,
when someone reads something you type, you never know where the typer
really meant to emphasize, make sarcasm, question, or even
recommend. We’ll never really understand each other…hell, even
your closest bestest buddy or spouse will never ever really

non-edibles

Monday, September 25th, 2006

This topic has been discussed several times here, and we really do need
guidance from Dr. D. to know the correct answer. So far, our discussions
have been anecdotal, with some people experiencing no negative side effects
to the topical application of avoids, and others reporting adverse reactions.
I personally get a severely bad reaction, big red welts, anytime I apply an
avoid to my skin, such as witch hazel, eucalyptus oil or aloe vera. I even
read the ingredients on shampoos and cosmetics to stay away from bad stuff.
But lots of other people on this list have had no problem at all.
You should have seen me about 20 years ago, as a teenager (ok! 30 years
ago), when I tried a product called Sea Breeze. I no longer see this product
at the store, but at the time, it was an astringent marketed to teenagers,
and it’s active ingredient was witch hazel. You should have seen me, as soon
as I applied it, my face swelled up so I looked like The Elephant Man, and it
took 24 hours to go away!

non-edible products

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

After i shave my beard, i need to use a non-oily, non=alcohol, non-
aloe vera, non-witch hazel(or any other allergic herb) AFTER SHAVE. I
bought something neutral last time…….this time i bought some
expensive shit containing: deionoized water, gotu kola extract,
sorbitol, panthenol, carrageenan, xanthn gum, algae extract,
essential oil of sandalwood, horsetail extract, methylparaben, and
imidazolidinyl urea. ACK. d’damo needs to come out with a skin book.
