Digest Number 1751
Tom, I echo Michael’s comment to drink LOTS of water. It helps me stay alert,
stop often, and helps combat travel-lag, easy to get when dehydrated at all. I
also notice that if I’m too warm I get sleepy. Safe travels! Paulita
Re. protocols & supps . . . I seem to recall Heidi saying on OTD (On The Diet
column @ www.dadamo.com) that most protocols were appropriate for 4-6 weeks (I
think all the protocols give time duration recommendations in the Encyclopedia)
and then should be set aside for a time before restarting.
My sense is that the O diet is awesome for O children. When I have my kidlings,
I’m going to get their secretor status tested asap, so I have that info as
well. There are lots of other good sources of calcium other than dairy and if
yours are secretors, there’s still mozzarella a couple times a week. A mineral
supplement including calcium is pretty highly recommended for all O women by
Dr. D if I am remembering correctly, and I would be interested in what
calcium/mineral supp would be appropriate for O kids. If they still crave their
favorites, how about almond butter & jam sandwiches on Ezekial bread, homemade
mac & cheese with kamut pasta, butter, & mozzarella, pineapple juice, etc.
