I'm right there with you on the pizza and I can't even eat gluten be I can dream about it. All of you are correct we have to make our own decision about what is best for us but when you get to where nothing is helping we should consider that there are other things out there we could try even if it goes against everything we were raised to believe. I don't know about you but when I hurt I will just about try anything to make it better.
Which brings me to think the board administrator or the people complaining about peoples post must not be sick with something that constantly hurts them because if they were they wouldn't be so quick to kick people off for trying to give people every option out there to help them.
Funny, I thought we're all simply sharing information we gleen through our experiences and readings - for others to think on, glance over, or totally igore. Relievedly though, I see now I don't have to panic that 1. I might find myself in the horrific position of my eyes making contact with printed surnames of any designated persona non grata sorts, or 2. I could become distraught and overwhelmed by the anguish of making an intelligent decision for myself.
Otherwise, MH and the AI disorders community a fine source, been very helpful and informative, lotta good people. I guess we just move on, smile, send out for a pizza (all-dressed pls..)
I can tell you for a fact they don't like you putting certain information on some of these boards. If too many of the people on these boards do not agree with what you are posting they will report you and you will lose your ability to post. Then in order to post you will have to get another name and e-mail address. If you notice my name has changed. Seems people on the MS board do not want to know about certain things. I was told I shouldn't be posting Hal Higgins book "Solving the MS Mystery". The things I recommend such as diet, detoxification, juicing and fasting were posting a "cure" and since they did not see this as a "cure" I couldn't post there anymore. I mention to the board administrator that other books were recommended on their site but think it depends on if the majority agrees with what you are saying. If too many complain about you they will stop your abilitiy to post. Fortunately this board seems to be more receptive to freedom of thought.
I've never heard of Dr. Max WhoseNameMayNotBePrinted and was vaguely curious as to who he is. I would however appreciate if MedHelp would offer an explanation to everyone re the censorship of the mere utterance of his or anyone's name.
I'm not trying to argue, just have a discussion like everyone else here. I would love to get better, and I am trying a lot of ways to do it. I purchased several books about diet and lifestyle, and as I said I eat pretty healthy, drink nothing but water, etc. I do the best I can. But I also have to take some medicines, which I know help me, such as blood pressure pills.
Also, you have to live your life. To expect people to eat all raw food and never go out and have a slice of pizza or a hamburger is unrealistic. I try to find a balance.
Hey hi and thanks for the post.
I'm only here to educate and inform of something I'm doing to heal. i want to hear every one's story and what they are doing to feel better.
As one poster stated it may not fix everything but I certainly feel MUCH better than I did even 6 months ago. So food is huge in how i feel every day. I'm not gluten and wheat free yet but when i eat it..I don't feel so great...so something is going on..food, for me is atleast 80% of my overall "healer". Iknow in time if I have celiacs and I don't get ride of it completely I can die...due to mal absorption of the minerals and nutrients i need to live.
That's a bit sobering.
Tell us your story :-)
