Know what you Eat !
In my struggle to find the right diet and the right nutrients for my specific situation, I've gathered a lot of information on the nutrients (or non-nutrients) in different foods. I've summarized all the links I've found below:
Basics
Beyond Vegetarianism: Paleolithic Diet vs. Vegetarianism
This site shows in great detail what was humanity's original diet. Very interesting
What was humanity's original, natural diet ? By Ward Nicholson
The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD
This site dismantles all myths about cholesterol. Did you know that high-cholesterol is NOT RELATED to heart diseases.
That your body produces cholesterol to supplement the cholesterol in the diet (So eating low-cholesterol doesn't help).

Intestinal Diseases Treatments
David Gregg's Crohn/ColitisTreatment Information
David Gregg is the founder of the theory that four different types of Crohn/Colitis
exist. His experience and knowledge in the chemistry and nutrition-fields,
combined with his strong ability to analyse data, make him a very unique person.
He keeps fascinating me time after time with new details he discovers very
frequently. Check his website. He has also written an article about the treatment
of cancer, which I would most certainly give a try. .
The SCDiet Web Library
There are specific carbohydrates which are trouble makers in the digestive
system, especially to those people suffering from Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative
Colitis, IBS and Celiac. The purpose of the SCD is to eliminate these carbohydrates
and cause a healthy, natural, controlled remission.
IBS Starch-Free Diet
A diet, which is very simmilar to the SCDiet. The difference is that the
IBS Starch-Free Diet is based on personal experiences, while the SCDiet is
based on scientific studies. The fact that two books (Gottschall's Breaking
the Vicious Cycle and the IBS Starch-Free Diet) have been written, that both
cover the same treatment for intestinal diseases, can't be a coincidence.
This increases the credibility of the treatment. Also check the simple experiment
(iodine) with which you can check whether or not a food contains starch.

Dismantling a myth: The role of fat and carbohydrates in our Diet, by
dr. Med. Wolfgang Lutz
Dr. Wolgang (Germany) already knew for many, many years that the complex carbohydrates
are the main cause of many intestinal diseases. A nice quote: I remember one
patient, the foreman of a Mercedes-Re service station, who came to me years
ago and told me that he has had diarrhoea for over 15 years now and that he
had consulted at least ten physicians without any success. <...> I prescribed
him a low-carbohydrate diet and told him to see me again in a fortnight, because
I was sure that the problem would have resolved by then. This was indeed the
case. He came, thanked me and told me that of the many doctors he consulted
previously, not one knew how to help him. He did not quite understand that,
because if there is mechanical trouble with one the Mercedes-Benz models,
all service stations in the whole world would be informed and instructed how
to repair the defect. Whether this was not so in medicine? No, I had to admit:
we have the so-called scholarly medicine with certain dogmatic views, and
other views are not tolerated. The many "outsiders" among the medical scientists
will surely agree with me wholeheartedly. Read more
The Healing Crow's Nest
A fantastic site that lists different treatments for many (autoimmune) diseases.
All treatments are medication free. The founder of the site has regained his
health by changing his diet to the SCDiet and later refined it into the paleolithic
diet. Many diseases traditionally labeled as autoimmune diseases are in fact
caused by a wrong lifestyle and diet. He has been medication free for more
than 24 months and is very healthy ! The articles about the paleolithic diet
and the human timeline are very interesting. A must-read !

The antioxidant + proflavanol treament by Ray Strand, M.D.
This treatment ressembles the treatment proposed by David Gregg. Instead of
the DMSO, Dr. Ray Strand uses antioxidants (which take take of the radicals)
in combination with proflavanols (which take care of the iron).

Dan's Paleolithic Diet Site
Dan has been eating like a caveman since July, 2000. He has cured his Crohn's and Grave's Disease (an autoimmune thyroid disorder).
Check it out:
Mike's SCDiet Food Blog
This is really amazing: Mike writes down what he eats on the SCDiet. If you need some inspiration, check out his
Nirvana of Peristalsis.
Hypoglycemia and Diabetes Treatments
Survive Diabetes
Information on a diet that stops the risk for kidney disease, overweight,
high blood pressure and cholesterol, coronary heart disease and heart attacks,
neuropathy, retinopathy and blindness, and leg ulcers with their attendant
risk of gangrene and amputation.
www.survivediabetes.com
Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution
This book is a must-read for every diabetic or hypoglycemic person.
The book's title is the truth: It's the only real solution for all diabetics and hypoglycemics.
Improve your health and weight
Lower Your Grains and Increase your Health
A really nice article about the dangers of high-carbohydrate and low-fat diets.
The Meat, Leaves and Berries Diet
This website contains the proof of the theories above. Check it out for yourself.
Pictures before and after included. Really nice:
Nutritional Information
International Starch Institue: Starch
Starch, common name applied to a white, granular or powdery, odourless, tasteless,
complex carbohydrate, (C6H10O5)x, abundant in the seeds of cereal plants and
in bulbs and tubers. Molecules of starch are made of hundreds or thousands
of atoms, corresponding to values of x, as given in the formula above, that
range from about 50 to many thousands. Native starch denotes untreated starch.
Read more details about the different types of starch and which plants contain
which type of starch on the website:
USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference
A very large searchable database that lists all different types of foods and
its contents in very high detail. For example, when you search on almonds,
you'll get 28 hits. When you click on one of the different types (of preparation)
of almonds, you'll get very detailed information about its nutrients. Water/Energy/Protein/Lipids/Carbohydrates/Fiber/Ash/Minerals/Vitamins/Fatty
Acids/saturated/ monounsaturated/polyunsatured/etc..
The nutritional composition of fruits and vegetables
This site lists the composition of many fruits and vegetables in high detail.
This is the only site I know of that also lists the starch-contents of foods.
The banana, the papaya and the passion fruit all contain starch and should
perhaps be avoided when on the SCDiet (or at least only be eaten when really
ripe).
The Glycemic Index List
A large list of foods and their glycemic indices (the glycemic index shows
how fast the blood sugar is raised. Human-compatible food has an index of
50 or lower). Very handy.
Discussion Forums
Healing Crow Community
The Healing Crow community discusses non-drug related approaches to healing chronic illnesses.
Specific topics include: The Specific Carbohydrate Diet and Inflammatory Bowel Disease,
Paleolithic nutrition, Orthomolecular nutrition, low carbohydrate diets, and others.
