Yeah I eat almonds....the problem I have with all this James is the body is designed to have roughage and things to act as a broom as well as easy foods. I already have no grains, so if I'm eating soft foods continually, steamed etc, where on earth am I going to get the stuff that makes my bowels etc work?

I understand temporary maybe, but long term?

Thing is, I was not eating these foods a long while back.....yet had the same issues. These problems began after the dental work in 2004.

I haven't actually pounded my system with drugs believe it or not. So I have to correct you on that one. I was actually one of those people that tried to avoid any medicating. My chelating days started with natural methods, but were too painful for me. I only started to use DMSA last and this too was not too long term.

I was doing very well, gaining a lot of health at the end and I stopped using any chelation at all.

Alongside that? Barely any supplements and sometimes none at all. I used vitamin C and selenium and E sometimes. ... so if anything I used less than most people. Often I coudl not tolerate them anyway....

I did well until the viral infection and then extraction work on my teeth. That's when it all fell apart. Again it had nothing to do with DMSA, I wasn't even using it at that time. I've never really done anything hard core for long term. The only thing I have done passionately is the diet.

I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke. My supplements now are minimal.....so I'm really not doing too badly. Again, I was not eating nuts, onions etc when I was already this way years ago...so eating or not eating them never made the difference.

I can give these extras up however if you feel it would make the difference. Can I have stir fried vegetables? Do they all have to be steamed? I gather one cannot have anything raw?

I would like to know how long that has to last? I don't like the idea of giving up fats again, this at least allowed some healing and helped me gain much needed weight and helped my skin.

We all think there's a magic pill or supplement or surgery out there that is going to make us well but in the end it all comes down to the quality and compatibility of the food we put into our stomachs. We try to fool ourselves thinking that we can do all sorts of things to overcome what we eat, drink and smoke but in the end it is what it is. Thats reality.


I haven't actually ever thought this. I have put healthy foods into myself for years now. I used to get excellent results from it too. LIke I said, one cannot live with chronic gangrene in their system regardless of how well they eat. I did better with amalgams than I have with what I now deal with. I never thought that any pill or surgery is the magic cure. But I believe if it removes a non stop tap of poison, it may allow the body to then gain benefits from the continued efforts the person makes with their diet and lifestyle. I think you would be taken aback if you knew exactly how well I've treated my body for years on end now. ONe would need to experience the devastation of what happened to understand how the efforts that once produced wonderful results come to an almost standstill.

I felt like 18 too when I stuck to a good diet and even though I still had amalgams. You don't feel like 18 with chronic viral infection and ongoing possible gangrene. Doesnt quite work that way. Wish it did.

This subject was brought up on a candida forum recently and was spoken about by the owner. She mentions how important the fats are for healing digestion, but also mentions that one can massage those areas you mention to help in the meantime....
