Below you can read my health journal. Please note it's a quite subjective diary. Also, I'm often (too) enthousiastic about things I try, so please keep that that in mind while reading.
Nonetheless, I hope that reading my experiences might be helpful for you.

	Feeling Report  10 Monday, December 23 2002 Hi, I've upgraded my diet a step further.. After yet another trial with including fruits in my diet, I've concluded that fruits are not compatible with me.. I get weaker and weaker, my muscles decrease in size rapidly and my stamina decreases up to the point where I feel like *shit*.. Since last week, I've been eating the normal high-fat, relatively high protein diet, with the following changes: * All meats raw * All nuts raw * Veggies raw and cooked mixed * Enough water, target is 2.5 liters * At least three lemons a day, made as a 10% juice, diluted with water * Some olive oils * Generous amounts of butter (probably raw from France, but not 100% sure, might be pasturized) Well, the results are quite well.. After a few days on this diet, my energy levels started to rise, also my stools turned very well: Solid and perfectly dehydrated I also need less sleep and I look a lot better and healthier, which other people tell me too.. Going from a mostly-cooked to no-cooked foods at all cold turkey is *very hard*.. So, here are some nice tips: Recipe 1 * Carpaccio (beef) * Some small cherry tomatoes * Olive oil * Chunks of butter * Some fresh lemon juice Put the carpaccio (I use 100g or 200g portions) on a plate Pour some olive oil on it Cut some slices of butter (Don't forget to be generous with the butter) Cut the tomatoes in slices Sprinkle some fresh lemon juice on it For the drink: Take the rest of the lemon juice and add 9 parts of water Note, this is a testimonial of what lemon juice can do for you: Recipe 2: * Raw beef steak (100g-200g) * Endive (cut yourself or pre-cut) * Onion * Generous amount of butter * Seasalt * Cayenne Pepper * And again a glass of lemon juice, 1 part juice, 9 parts water Heat the butter Add the slices onions Wait a while until the onions are well done Add the endive Lower the gas a bit and heat the endive Make sure the endive keeps its crispness quality While the endive is heating, take a plate and cut the beef in small pieces Make sure the endive is not *too* hot (so it won't ''cook'' the beef) and throw it over the beef Add some nice chunks of butter on top of the endive and eat it before it's fully melted Season with seasalt and cayenne pepper Drink a glass of lemon juice with it Recipe 3,4,5,.....etc Use variations of the above (i.e. use other veggies, use other meats/fish) Note on the nuts: Only unshelled nuts can be fully raw, as the shelled nuts are shelled using either high heat or freezing cold, which does damage the proteins enough to disqualify them as really raw foods.. This way you get 90% of the benefits of a raw diet, but without the rough edges of it.. It works for me :-) Best wishes and greetings from The Netherlands, Ed  9   Saturday, December 14 2002 OK.. Something new.. I will adopt D'Adamo's guidelines, as in Live right for your type from now on.. This means I won't be able to eat avocado's, which I always liked to eat so much.. Here is the list of foods I, blood type O+, can eat: www.atlantisenergy.net/o-blood_type_diet.htm (Replace the o in the link above by a,b or ab for your diet) I analyzed the list and found some foods I had some doubts with.. So, I'll just give it a try.. Note, this means I'll be restricting my SCDiet even further.. (I won't eat spelt-bread just because D'Adamo says so).. We have to watch out for the lectin-part (D'Adamo), but also the more general things like digestive capabilities, how natural foods are, how many carbohydrates they contain etc.. Well, I'll let you know the results.. After second consideration, I'll do this experiment sometime later.. Although the research does make sense (lectins, anti-genes etc), it's inconsistent with history.. If an O-bloodtype person sees an avocado, he will just eat it, because he likes the taste.. He won't leave it there, just because it's not compatible to his bloodtype, of which he has no way to determine which is his.. The real reason for the postponement is that I don't see a good alternative for my daily avocado.. First things first.. This is what Wai says about it: www.waitalk.com/cgi-bin/bb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=000033#000000 By the way, the first tray of lemons (again, in Dutch lemon=citroen, lime=limoen) is gone and I'll get another one today.. I will continue the lemon-juice as a nice addition to my diet.. Ed  9   Friday, December 13 2002 Overall, after drinking lemon-water juice daily (three times a day orso), I do feel better, more energetic and clearminded.. So, it does work.. I just finished reading Kirbam's book, Health Guide for Survival and it's really nice and written very convincingly.. I'm near 100% sure that Reams discovered how to cure most disease.. The story on leukemia is very interesting, as Reams says that all you need to do is re-enable to body to absorb vitamin A... Once you've done that (don't ask me how), leukemia is the ''easiest'' condition to turn around.. It's so sad that many people and children have died from leukemia, while the cure was discovered already in 1976 ! Kirban's book isn't all that technical.. It's a nice read and it's about Kirbam's personal visit to Ream's clinic. After he came back after 10 days, his wife told him he looked exactly like he was when they got married ! He also feels so much more vital and energetic and his allergies disappeared within 3 days.. He started on a three day lemon-juice (distilled water) fast.. He got more and more energetic, even though he thought he would feel really bad due to the fasting.. It was no problem at all.. I also read that Reams was able to predict, almost to the day, when a person would get a heart-attack if he wouldn't change his diet for the better.. He cured hyperactive persons, he cured epilepsy with ease.. (Most of) Epilepsy is just plain sudden low-blood sugar, very easily corrected with the right diet.. The book is full of interesting feats. and also some nice photo's of Reams and his retreat in the nature.. It looks really nice.. Alas, there are no technical details.. For the details I will need to order another book, the one written by one of Reams' colleagues.. I'll do that soon.. It fascinates me more and more.. Also read my latest note at www.newtreatments.org/doc/WisdomExperience/89 , Ed, The Netherlands  9   Thursday, December 05 2002 This morning, my saliva pH was very close to 7 again.. Somewhere near 6.6.-6.8 I guess.. So, it seems the lemon-distilled water fasting *does* work quite good.. But, it's still too soon to draw conclusions.. I'm also taking the bicarbonate successfully in between meals.. No side effects whatsoever.. Check some more here: www.newtreatments.org/doc/WisdomExperience/86 I will keep you updated, Ed  9   Wednesday, December 04 2002 Hi, Yesterday, I fasted until 9:00 PM, when the hunger got the best of me.. I had been drinking lemon juice + distilled water (10% lemon juice) since 1 PM and each half hour a glass of distilled water.. I felt quite well the entire day.. This morning I checked my saliva, the first thing in the morning, and it was very close to 7.0, perhaps even the optimal pH 6.8.. The two days before it was a stable 6.2, which means 4 times too many H+ ions, i.e. my saliva was way too acidic.. Don't know what this means yet.. I can't imagine the lemon treatment to work *that* fast on the pH of my tissues.. Another side effect I noted is that my armpits smell like nothing at all.. Normally they have a slight (or worse) scent of sweat... Another side effect I already experienced friday night, when I took my first glasses of lemon juice (not distilled water and no fasting however) is that I felt a strange sensation in my liver area.. Just like small rocks moving around.. Perhaps those were liver stones of some kind ? Well, It's ofcourse way too soon to draw conclusions, but I'll keep you updated, Update 12:00 5 minutes after breakfast my saliva pH = 7.5 This is also better than before.. Update 16:00 2 hours after my last meal, my urine pH = 7.2/7.3 Ed, The Netherlands  9   Tuesday, December 03 2002 My morning saliva pH is again very close to the 6.0, I think about 6.2.. Which is ofcourse to acid.. 6.8 is optimal.. Some more thoughts on Crohn's disease, incorporating the latest info on pleomorphism and the Reams theory: * I think Crohn's disease is not a problem of the intestines, but more a problem of the liver. In an acidified body, the liver can't work for 100% anymore and it can't produce and deliver all 6 billion enzymes anymore. Reams stated that Diabetes (2 or also 1 ?) can easily be cured by regenerating the liver by taking the lemon-distilled water treatment. The liver regenerates --> It produces the enzymes for the other organs to regenerate --> All organs regenerate The word *enzyme* triggered a new thought: The duodenum produces enzymes, needed for the digestion of di- and polysaccharides. Suppose, like most other organs, the duodenum gets it enzyme *input* from the liver.. In that case, regenerating the liver, will regenerate the duodenum, which will re-enable digestion of complex carbohydrates.. The liver also produces the bile, which is anionic and which counters the cationic food.. Without sufficient anionic bile, you can't digest the food and you can't get any energy out of your cationic food.. * Crohn's could also be a problem of a too acidified body and also a too acidified colon There are different approaces to de-acidify the body and in turn also the intestines: * Base Powder as on www.euroamericanhealth.com/bbp.html Taken in between meals this increases the pH of the stomach fluids, trigger the stomach lining to produce more acids and taking their acid input from the rest of the body.. Net result: Body gets de-acidified * Coral Calcium * Sodium bicarbonate ----------------- What do you think of the above thoughts ? Has anyone tried anything like this before ? Thanks in advance for your input, Ed, The Netherlands  9   Monday, December 02 2002 My morning saliva pH is slightly higher than 6.0, but less than 6.5. I've started the Reams Theory treatment with lemon juice and I will do the pH measurements daily, according to the protocol on www.euroamericanhealth.com BTW, the morning saliva pH should be very close to 7. 6.8 is the optimal value.. So, this is the first proof that I hold too much acid.. Will keep you updated, Ed  10 Saturday, November 16 2002 The last few days I felt remarkably well and very energetic and clear in the mind.. I think it's the Bowen treatment that's doing some really amazing stuff to me.. Today, I went to the supermarket and some other shops and I started to feel worse due to the electrosmog in there.. It took more than three hours to regain my complete goodfeeling. Then I started to think: Hey, I haven't been to any shop the last three-four days.. Perhaps I felt so good because I hadn't been near any electrosmog sources for that time.. Now I don't know if the Bowen Treatment made me feel so good or if it was the absence of electrosmog those days.. To be continued, Ed, The Netherlands  9   Wednesday, November 13 2002 here's a short report on my visit to a Bowen practicioner yesterday: Yesterday, I went to a Bowen practicioner to give it a try.. I decided to do so after the good results Ann reported after only three treatments.. It was a new experience and if I wasn't as openminded I would have thought it was all nonsense.. I'm already convinced it is working, by the way.. A really nice, friendly woman treated me at her home.. After the questions she asked me, I had to lie down on my belly, arms next to my body. Next she started to locate some specific points on my back. I needed to breath in and out several times, so that she could locate them correctly. It's all quite precise.. Then she started by pushing some points very lightly, doing it on both sides symmtrically... After doing some points, she would leave me for a couple of minutes.. This procedure happened three or four times and then I was ready.. At that time I didn't feel that much difference, perhaps some slight tingling in my upper leg.. She treated primarily my intestines by touching the specific spots on my legs.. I fel a bit fuzzy after she finished.. That afternoon I felt quite nasty and in the evening I felt OK.. My intestines started to make some noises.. I slept well.. Today, my intestines are making quite some noises, even though I ate what I eat regularly.. Something *is* happening, that's for sure.. I think I feel better, more energetic, but I'm not sure yet.. Also my acne seems to have diminshed, even though I eat cooked meat, which would previously cause acne.. I'm not sure yet, I'll have to wait some days before I can draw conclusions.. Perhaps interesting, I found this testimonial: *From Catherine Arbeid: Having now had five Bowen Technique sessions with *you, I am no longer taking the Steroids and other medication prescribed *to control the condition with which I was diagnosed just over two years *ago, knows as Crohns Colitis. * *As I think I told you after the first treatment, the following day was *the first morning I have woken up free of the stomach cramps and other, *more unpleasant symptoms which have for the past few years heralded the *start of each day; in fact I felt so good, I forgot to take my *prescribed medicines. In the time that has followed that first treatment *I have been able to greatly reduce my medication and now, just four *weeks later, I have stopped taking any of my prescribed tablets - with *no ill effects whatsoever. * *The relief and general well being I now have are something I had *forgotten I could feel, and thus my life in general has improved vastly, *thanks to you. * *I now wish to continue seeing you periodically, in order to maintain my *general health and well being; I find the treatments so relaxing I would *be loath to go without them for too long. From: www.thefinchleyclinic.co.uk/nojavascript/therapies/bowen/testimonials.htm *  10 Wednesday, October 30 2002 Here is another update on our use of the Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator. My father's pain in the shoulder keeps returning, even though it disappears each time he uses the lamp of the MWO on his shoulder. The increased energy level, both mental and physical is still there in all five of us (my parents and two brothers and me), very well noticable.. What's even more noticable for me is that my stool is perfectly dehydrated, each day for the last week. I don't need to toilet paper anymoer ! This is very uncommon and probably even an unique event for me.. I think this is caused by the local use of the MWO antenna 4 inches above my abdomen.. A man who has started his clinic a month ago already has more than 10 patients and has much success and great results treating them with his MWO. He recently bought a second one. Another man decided to buy his MWO last week and has promising results. The effects on his intestines are very noticable.. I think he has Crohn's disease or another IBD.. I will keep you updated on how we fare,

	Feeling Report  9   Thursday, October 24 2002 This morning I used the MWO again.. I really increases the energy level and it also increases mental clarity and the ability to concentrate and mental stamina.. Yesterday, NewTreatments.org had more than 750 unique visitors ! Ed  9   Wednesday, October 23 2002 The Freiburg Appel is now also available in Dutch: www.newtreatments.org/Electrosmog/ga/477/Freiburg%20Appel Ed  9   Monday, October 21 2002 I received the following article in which many german doctors (Dr. Med.) and professors (Prof. Dr.) want attention for the hazards of electrosmog. The DECT telephone is one of the worst electrosmog creators in many households.. It's really cool that doctors have joined together and are making a difference. It's just so amazing that DECT telephones are not forbidden by now.. The same for cellular phones by the way. The problem with DECT phones is that the base-stations are turned on 24 hours a day while a cellular phone is only transmitting when you talk or when you have it in a moving car.. Check the PDF document here, it's in German, but an English and a Dutch version is on its way: www.newtreatments.org/Electrosmog/ga/476/index.php This morning I again use the MWO on my abdomen.. This morning my stool was perfectly dehydrated.. I think (subjectively) that the MWO caused this, but I'll have to wait some time to be sure.. I slept perfect, so I will continue to use the MWO in the morning.. Ed, The Netherlands  9   Sunday, October 20 2002 Hi, As promised here is an update on the MWO use.. My father, mother, my two brothers and me have all used the MWO the last days since we got it.. During the first treatment I got extremely relaxed and a bit sleepy.. After an hour (after the treatment) orso, the sleepyness disappeared and I felt relatively well.. That night I didn't sleep for one minute I think (never 100% sure if you've slept some short moments). My mother hadn't slept much, but was able to sleep a bit in the morning. My brother (R) did sleep ok, but woke up about 10-15 times.. My other brother (A) slept just fine. My father had slept relatively well, but his intestines/stomach was making noises all night. He had diarrhea the next morning. Probably due to toxins released from the body.. The next day we all did another treatment.. Again, the same like the day before. Getting relaxed and sleepy, of which the latter disappeared some time after the treatment. That night I again didn't sleep at all I think. Brothers R and A slept fine, my mother relatively fine, and my father had some trouble to fall asleep but slept ok afterwards. Yesterday, I didn't use the MWO as I was eager to have a good night's sleep.. The strange part is that after two sleepless nights I feel amazingly energetic.. I think my mother looks more relaxed. My brother R doesnt' show much difference. Brother A felt a lot more relaxed and that's quite remarkable. He also makes a much more stable impression. He had some powerfull dreams those nights he told me. I haven't dreamt at all as I hadn't slept. My father first treated his entire body with the MWO and then used the special lamp, connected to the MWO generator to treat local places. He used it on his shoulder, which is still inflamed after 2 years by now. After 5 minutes the pain had disappeared completely. Today, I decided to use the MWO on my entire body, the first thing in the morning.. Perhaps I will sleep fine that way.. The other times I had used it in the late afternoon.. After the body-treatment I decided to lie down and put the antenna over my abdomen to treat it locally. I could feel some things happen in my abdomen. I think it caused some flatulence. My bowel contents also feel a bit more loose. My brother R also used it today for his own body. My father's shoulder pain is still gone, even when he lifts things.. Normally it would ache a lot.. By the way: I also read a testimonial of a man with a ''tennis elbow''. Each time he used the MWO-lamp on his elbow the pain would disappear in minutes and stay away a few days. It would then return.. After several weeks, the pain had permanently disappeared. One more note about the magnetic ''immortality'' rings. I lent my rings to my brother A one night. The next morning he was quite pissed off. He had several dreams about traumatic events in his life.. He didn't like that a bit: ''Just leave old things be''.. I think the rings cause the life energy to flow freely through the body, even on places where emotional armors have formed due to traumatic events. These armors block energy flow (through meridians and through organs). Using the rings each night will dissolve these armors and at the same time heal diseases.. Imagine what happens when life energy is blocked in or near the intestines. The intestines won't work perfectly and besides that life energy has an antibiotic property. Reich used this property to kill the cancer-bacteria successfully in his cancer-patients. He used the Orgone-Accumulator for this. Patients often complained about emotions surfacing.. The orgone accumulator would successfully get rid of the tumors. The cancer could however only be permanently cured when the patient would *let* these emotions surface and be processed instead of suppressed. To be continued  9   Thursday, October 17 2002 Hi, Today I received the Multi Wave Oscillator I had ordered from a Dutch company.. ( home.wanadoo.nl/henkhemelrijk/mwh/home.htm ) It costs 1360 euro's and is probably as powerful as the one they use at the NGC Energy Healing Clinic I went to several times already.. Now, I will try this device each day for half an hour orso and let you know the results.. I think this will be very interesting.. We spoke (my parents and brothers were also there and very interested) to the man who designs, builds and delivers the machine himself for almost three hours and heard some amazing testimonials, comparable to the ones I saw at the energy healing clinic.. Amazing.. It's especially powerfull for reumatic diseases and cancer: Tumors that completely disappear. It also has a huge effect on the emotions and in the beginning it might be quite hard as deep burried emotions will surface.. The machine uses voltages near the 100,000 volt range and when you hold a lamp nearby it will light up by itself.. The price is very interesting and the sales are increasing a lot.. Today he dropped off 4 machines around The Netherlands, Belgium and France.. In Belgium the situation is comparable to the US. If you install a Rife machine you will be thrown into jail without pardon, just like in the States.. In France, it's accepted upto a certain level.. I don't think he'll ship to other countries besides the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, as some of the components are quite large and fragile (and you know how the mailman handles the post).. I'll let you know how this works out.. Greetings from The Netherlands, Ed  9   Wednesday, October 16 2002 I'm still following Wai's diet, but I reduced the amount of fruit.. Everything was going just fine, my acne disappeared completely (first time after 1.5 years when I developed the acne on the high-cooked-protein diet).. Alas, I noticed I would get stressed way too early and too heavily by small events.. When I drive in my car and somebody irrationaly would try to overtake me from the right, I get such a high dose of adrenalin that I start to shake, my heart-rate goes up a lot and I feel very much like fighting-flying.. For those who think that's normal :-), well, it ain't.. I thought it was just because I hadn't slept enough last night or something else.. Yesterday, I was at the energy clinic in veldhoven (8th time I think) and I continued reading the book ''Fats that heal, fats that kill'' by Udo Rosenthal and in between the very interesting information (which is remarkably compatible to the information on my website) I read that high bloodsugars cause a 4-fold secretion of adrenalin during stress.. Well, that explained my stressy, itchy feeling immediately... So, I will decrease my fruit intake even more, to about 70-80g of carbohydrates a day and see of the problem disappears. If it doesn't I'll be back to where I started, the 30g of carbs a day diet with plenty of protein, but this time it will be *raw* protein.. Udo Rosenthals book states that a high starch or high carbohydrate diet is a real burdon for both the pancreas *and* the adrenals.. The pancreas when the sugar levels are high, because it needs to produce excessive amounts of insulin and the adrenals when the sugar levels plumet and cortisol is produced to signal the liver and other tissues to release glucose into the blood and to convert muscles into glucose.. Due to the SAD I had eaten for 22 years (I discovered the SCDiet only 2 years ago and am 24 years old now) my pancreas and my adrenals are obviously burned out and Wai's diet is not an option for me, even though it seemed to go great, which is why I kept following the diet for 7 weeks now.. 70-80g of carbs a day is in the range of the ''Life without Bread'' diet.. If that doesn't work I will go down to the 30g carbs a day, as in ''Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution''. I will eat *everything* raw. Nothing cooked will get in my mouth anymore.. I don't regret the last weeks on Wai's diet, as I've learned and experienced a lot.. I know now what really causes acne: primarily cooked proteins. To be continued  10 Wednesday, October 09 2002 Hi, Last night I slept while wearing the rings. I hadn't worn them for several weeks and I decided to give them another try.. With succes: My stool was perfectly dehydrated, which is very unique, especially since I started eating everything raw with a lot of fruit.. ( cooked foods contain sedatives that paralyze the intestines, causing constipation or at least very well dehydrated stools ) So, my opinion on the rings remains: Effective, but don't expect dramatic results in a short period of time. I think these rings need to be worn for longer periods to see real differences (rejuvenation).. The problem is that the differences show up gradually and you won't notice the difference on a day-to-day basis. Do expect more vivid dreams and more dreams. Some nights I get too many dreams and I stop wearing them, so I can sleep quietly.. To me the effects on the intestines and skin are the greatest.. Ed, The Netherlands  10 Tuesday, October 08 2002 Please note that I don't consider Wai's diet a vegan or fruitarian diet. In fact her diet is focused on fat and that's a major difference. Mimimum intake is of fat is more than 50% of the calories. My version of her diet is even higher in fats. I keep on monitoring my condition (weight, feeling, immunity, etc) and until now it's still perfect, as long as I stay away from white grapes (which I probably didn't buffer with enough fats). In theory: * A low-carb diet is so healthy, because the bloodsugar levels are very stable and don't affect the immune system, metabolism. One needs to eat more protein, because the body still needs some glucose and will convert some protein into glucose.. The main powersource is fat, which is perfect. * Wai's diet is probably also healthy, because the bloodsugars are also stable because of the huge amounts of fat all carbs are buffered with. One can eat less protein, because the body won't need to convert any protein into glucose. The main powersource is still fat. Only high quality raw protein is allowed. I think Wai's diet is more related to the low-carb paleolithic diet than to a vegan or fruitarian diet. A vegan or fruitarian diet is primarily a very high-carbohydrate diet. Wai's diet is primarily a high fat diet. I conclude my bloodsugar levels *are* stable, because I don't get any signs of bloodsugarblues at all. If I eat one piece of fruit and don't buffer it with fruits, I *do* get the bloodsugarblues: Blood-shot eyes, lots of eye-dirt, feeling very itchy, etc, etc.. I've been following Wai's diet 6 weeks and feel perfect... Once I see that I'm starting to deteriorate I will stop immediately and go back to the low-carb diet I was on for over 18 months.. But for now, I feel better on Wai's diet than on the low-carb diet and I do look a lot better..  10 Friday, October 04 2002 Hi, Today I experimented some more to find a nice compromise between Wai's diet and the low-carb raw paleodiet.. I ate 2 pears and directly afterwards a salad with avocado, tomato, cucumber, chives and olive oil and to top it off a nice chunk of butter. That went just fine and I got hungry again after about 3.5-4 hours, which is normal and shows that there are no bloodsugarlevel fluctuations. I think I now know when Wai's diet doesn't work for me: When I eat grapes (the big juicy, high glucose ones), my glucose levels still get too high, even when I buffer it with fats. Subsequently they fall too low and I get hungry and itchy as a result. So, when I stick to the lower-carb fruits and I don't overdo it, Wai's diet is just fine it seems.. It seems more logical to me to eat some fruits, so the body doesn't need to convert protein into glucose. The bulk of the energy will come from saturated and some mono-unsaturated fats. Besides that some protein for tissue regeneration and muscle increase. I still think that Wai is right that 100-150 gram of meat should be enough for most people. If the body doesn't need to use proteins for energy, all of it can go to the muscles.. On a low-carb diet, you *need* to eat a lot of protein, because a lot of it is converted into glucose. What's the minimum amount of meat one should eat on a low-carb diet ? How much glucose does the body still need, when the primary fuel is fat ? If I would eat 6 pears each day, that would be about 150g of carbs a day.. I think I can handle that without problems. I think 150g of carbs would be sufficient for the total carbs need each day. Because the glucose levels don't fluctuate and I eat enough fat, virtually no muscle mass will be wasted. That way, my skin can get free of acne and the body acidity will decrease. Both high glucose levels and high protein levels in the blood cause water retention, causing clogged pores and eventually acne.. Any errors in my reasoning above ? Greetings from The Netherlands, Ed  10 Wednesday, October 02 2002 Hi, Check this: Depression cure finally found After about 6 weeks on her diet, I quited Wai's diet. I noticed I was getting hungry too often, even when I ate enough fat with the fruit (indicating bad glucose regulation).. I'm now on a raw paleo-diet and that *does* feel better to me.. Things I learned: * IF you eat fruit, always eat some fat afterwards, at least 2:1 carb:fat relation * Really raw meat and fruit is difficult to find. Most have been frozen and then the proteins are damaged, causing cellulite and acne * Really raw shelled nuts don't exist. They are shelled by means of heat or freezing, damaging the proteins * To prevent acne and cellulite, you need to eat as less as possible salt, water-retaining minerals and heated or frozen proteins * Egg yolks are well edible. It's important to know how to determine the freshness of eggs In the end it was worth the try. Wai's website is full of interesting stuff. For me, the diet is impossible, because my insulin/glucose regulation mechanism was already damaged. This also has to do with my adrenals I think.. I still think that for most people, where the glucose regulation mechnism is still ok (i.e. not damaged by the SAD or medication), Wai's diet can be a good healthy diet..Many people on the discussion forum have good succes with Wai's diet. One thing I know for sure is that Wai's diet is perfect to get a perfect skin. Well, it's back to a low-carb (60-70g max) for me.. I found an organic butcher nearby that has really *RAW* meat, ie not frozen. How would be the minimum amount of protein to eat each day if I limit my carbs to 60-70 g a day.
