Hi, I have found that I have had differing reactions at different stages of my life and have altered profoundly. At onetime, I did extremely well on raw fruits and vegetables and little meat (I only had meat sparingly and hardly ever ate eggs). I had also eliminated sugar and gluten from my diet. But still had some milk in my tea and cereal (non gluten cereal). So I did excellently on these foods, especially raw.

However, people change sometimes through circumstances and it appears through other problems my body is so different now to what it was then, as to be almost completely opposite. The only similarity is having to stay off sugar, gluten, yeast.

If I try and eat that diet now? I do not get away with it. I now cannot eat fruit at all, other than some lemon juice and "tomatoes" (if they are technially a fruit). I only get away with meats, eggs and low carb vegetables, little plain acidophilus yoghurt and "maybe" some raw almonds/brazil nuts. Branching out into fruits and grains and my troubles begin to worsen quite rapidly. THen I have to go through the pain of waiting till symptoms subside again. Cheese included.

This is how bad I have become. I feel that through infections/bacteria etc, that my body now deteriorates readily through anything that is sugar, even natural and that means high carbs in veg and grain, not just fruits. Almost as though it feeds this now so easily.

I am sad because though I had to once miss out on sugar and gluten, I could still eat the other stuff once, including natural treats like some honey, and carob. I did so well on those things once with fruits etc that it just amazes me how different I now am.

So I think the main, worse things anybody can consume is the typical sugar, gluten, white flour type of diet. But those of us that really have so many things wrong at once, may find ourselves heavily restricted in order to control symptoms. I dont enjoy it, but that is how my body now responds. So I eat mainly the foods I once would hardly eat at all (eggs and meat).

I really think a person has to find out what suits them. Avoid the obvious garbage foods and concentrate on all the natural and go from there. If some of the natural stuff causes problems? Eliminate that also and see if there is improvement. If you find you do ok or even well on meats and eggs, great. If not? limit them. Problem is, they give so much of what we need like iron and B12 etc. I dont know if one can get enough of that from just vegetables, considering also how much now is stripped from those foods in this world.

Everybody is so different, that what one person can tolerate lots of, another person may have to limit. I wish personally I could go back to my previous diet, but it is not worth the agony.

I believe in my personal opinion that all these natural foods should be fine to eat for all of us. Nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, yogurt, meat, eggs, honey, properly prepared grains, etc. But so many things have mucked so many of us up, as to tip us into some strange reactions, even to good foods.

I also am an advocate of Dr Weston Price because of his extensive studies around the world of so many cultures and the healthiest specimens and finding out exactly what they ate, their lifestyle etc. He got the best out of them all.
