A: THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION

Any experts on Atkins or South Beach or other low carb high nutrition diets for comments?

Q: I am looking for any expert advisers who would take the time to comment on my views. Simply because I do not want to steer anyone down a path to poor health since I have been down several myself and with bad results. So I am seeking comments on my post that follows:<<<<<<<<POSTING1>>>>>>>>>Hi,After reading your question I thought I would give you some pointers I have learned the hard way from my own bad ‘uninformed’ choices.Keeping to any plan that fights against bad habits is tough but being fit and strong versus being fat and sickly is all about how many calories you eat versus how many you burn and IF the calories are mostly the BEST QUALITY PROTEINS or mostly junk sugar-carbs. Many years ago I found that the Atkins Diet Plan made me healthier compared to my old high carb diet since it put my diabetes symptoms into remission, but PLEASE consider my experiences when I used the Atkins high cholesterol and fat philosophy for my long term nutrition.After the Atkins plan promoted many diseases, what now works best in order for me to keep my pruritus-urticaria in remission, after my gallbladder-biliary-liver and heart disease problems, is a 96% VEGAN diet, (for the required B12), that is low-carb low-fat and HIGH-PROTEIN. Because of my gallbladder-biliary-liver disease I no longer can eat much olive oil or dressings or nuts or other fats or any cholesterol because it causes immediate pruritus since my liver’s biliary system is plugged with cholesterol and calcium sludge, and I can not eat too many carbs because of yeast infections that break out after one, two, or three high carb meals.What I now do is what they teach most students in high school nutrition classes – which is to add up the vitamins and minerals from my ‘digestible’ foods and calculating the RDA’s [Recommended Dietary Allowances] or DV’s [Daily Reference Values] for each day to see if I am more than 100% for Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Thiamine-VitB1, Riboflavin-VitB2, Niacin-VitB3, VitB6-Pyridoxine, and Folate-VitB9. Things like bran are not digestible and not added since it is like a work horse or work oxen eating straw instead of digestible grass or alfalfa leaves. Also, after I accidentally poisoned myself with supplements, I leaned that supplements like iron and magnesium and colloidal silver etc are super toxic since they are ‘metallic’ minerals and oftentimes raw fertilizers with a 1000 fold markup. These ‘metallic’ mineral supplements have not yet been converted into a non-toxic food when during photosynthesis the electrons in a fertilizer are stripped away making it the more positively charged ‘non-metallic’ and non-toxic mineral element within the plant. Also, the highly profitable synthetic vitamin supplements I used to purchase have no unambiguous research backing them, and there is some obviously valid research concluding that they are more toxic than beneficial to any animal that has ever consumed them.What now keeps my diseases in remission is mostly a diet of cooked lentils then mixed with tomato sauce and boiled celery to make a quick microwave super high protein veg-chili. I boil all my foods since my digestive system is in such poor shape and I need as many nutrients as I can get out of the semi-expensive foods I buy.I used to eat much more meat when I was an Atkins dieter, before my pruritus attacks became so obvious that the cholesterol and fats in the meat or eggs and the calcium in the homemade yogurt I was eating was the root cause to the problem. FYI – IF you know of people getting colon cancer, it was during my Atkins period I learned to always eat enough vegetables to be a minimum of 2 x the weight of the meat that I ate – in order to not have any constipation or worse. I used to have reddish stools since I was likely on my way to getting colon cancer myself from eating much more meat protein than I could ever digest properly in my stomach and colon.After the Atkins Diet allowed my present health issues, I replaced the crock potted round steak or beef heart or chicken and sometimes river trout in my chili with lentils, because I learned that the nutritional content of lentils ranks high alongside, and comparable to, very lean meat or lean fish if it is grown in well fertilized soil. [Note: e.g. the labels on store bought spinach sometimes have a 4 fold difference in nutrition based upon the fertility of the soils and the growing methods for the farms it is grown on.] I also eat a-lot of boiled frozen broccoli and boiled organic or re-washed and re-boiled canned spinach with a vinaigrette of organic sugar with glass_bottled_cider_vinegar. The glassware is because of some friends that got lupus from eating too much plastic stuff, or inhaling it since they were house painters who used vinyl paints.The nutritional DV numbers that I now eat are three times what most others in my family are eating every day. I keep at about 100% and they are about 25 to 33%, but they are all morbidly obese diabetics. Even though I was once morbidly obese myself and had a heart attack from too many carbs for too long, (which I think gave me all the symptoms of beriberi, scurvy and pellagra, along with the beginnings of my gallbladder-biliary-liver disease), I am now more fit in comparison to most others I know.I hope you have learned something from my ‘mistakes’ that will soon help you along your way.<><My best to you and for your good health,A1[(-:]PS1 – I currently feel that what Dr. Fuhrman MD teaches is the best nutritional information available in the nation.http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/cat-low-carb-high-protein.html http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2627/2 http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=43http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ PS2 – Boiling spinach can reduce the pesticides from 80 to 95%+ as per canning studies done in the 70’s, by boiling the pesticides off with the steam – after boiling it long enough to pull the pesticides out of the plant. Boiling also reduces the hundreds of percents of acid carbs, like folic acid, that makes eating a lot of raw spinach not digest easily and it would sometimes cause loose stools, and also breaks it down a first step so it is then easier to digest in the stomach. It also kills any bacteria or e-coli problems that may have somehow been introduced into the raw or commercially canned produce.http://www.foodnews.org/index.php

The whole idea of taking a course is to learn something…not just to get unearned credit.Here are some of the best and easiest sites to use:http://health.nih.gov/Just type in the keyword – disease in the box and you will be given a selection. Try the first and second ones.Another easy site is the Mayo Clinic using the same procedure as above::http://www.mayoclinic.com/That said here are the best keywords and other info to use for each question: 26) I provided website information in my previous answer – this is one where you should really read – I’d avoid Wikipedia on this one as it will just confuse you. 27) The answers are in the other answer I provided Type in “Diabetes Type 4” to begin with – you’ll find a shorter selection which will lead you to a discussion of all types and therefore your answer.28) Warning signs of skin cancer or just think logically and then double check.29) Fatal form of skin cancer “Most dangerous form of skin cancer” or just enter each term provided in the multiple choice30) Begin at the top of your list and stop when you think you have the answer – If you’re not sure, continue to the last 2.31) Begin at the top of your list and check each term.32) The search is “atherosclerosis” – very basic33) Cancer – survival You could also type in “American Cancer Society” http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp34) Begin with Alzheimer’s disease move on to Parkinson’s disease Paget’s Disease Graves disease 35) “Hypertension” and then each of the choicesYou can do this and you need to do it.
