Alobar,

 

The added salt is probably the--or at least one of the--problems. Recently I

recommended " The Gerson Therapy " on this list. Dr. Gerson cured Dr. Albert

Schweitzer of diabetes when Dr. S. was in his late seventies and the man lived

completely cured of the disease for another twenty years--on a saltless diet.

But of course there's more to the therapy than this. Your Vitamix would have to

go. <g>

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a swelling in my left

foot. No pain or tenderness. Edema? Water retention? My right

foot is fine. I have diabetes with peripheral neuropathy. I had a

non-healing ulcer in my rt-foot over a year back, but it has been

fine now for over a year. I am thinking the right foot may have

worse circulation than the left foot so maybe that is why the left

foot shows swelling.

 

I am not sure as to the origin or the problem or what I need

to do to re-balance. Doctors & tests are out of the question as I

have no money for either. Over the past month or so I have been

indulging in a treat of pistachio nuts 4-5 days a week. I located a

source of shelled pistachio nuts which I make into pistachio nut

butter in my VitaMix. I have been eating about an ounce of the

butter a day. I am thinking the increased salt intake may have

something to do with the swelling. Maybe some other change I have

made to my diet may be the culprit, but I am not sure what.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi Mindy,

 

<What about sea salt?>

 

I'm afraid nothing except the organic sodium that " comes with " certain veggies

such as celery.

 

I think giving up salt is difficult, but not impossible, and it's amazing how

the taste buds will adapt and become in some ways more sensitive. I've been

salt-free for six months now.

--- Does the swelling go down (eventually) if you put your feet up - especially

if you raise your feet to a higher level than your heart?

My Mother used to have an enormous ankle (and heart trouble) My brother (66) has

started to suffer the same, and My sister (55) has suffered with oedema for

sometime (and high blood pressure) she uses grapeseed extract to successfully

control the condition.

None of the above suffered from diabetes I might add.

 

Ray.

*shudder* Without salt, there's no meaning to life!

 

What about sea salt?

Penel,

 

<Clare,

Do you iodine suppliment with sea weed or what?>

 

Since I don't do well with dried foods or herbs (maybe because of molds),

seaweeds aren't an option for me. I know my thyroid is low (from low morning

temps and because of the chronic fatigue syndrome), so in addition to eating

salmon every day (also for the omega 3s) I've been using an external application

of iodine. But the stain is supposed to last 24 hours before you know you're

" full " and I never get much past 12 hours, so I know there's still a need there.

I've been thinking of buying Lugol's Solution (used by Gerson in his therapy)

online which is the only place you can get it without a prescription.

 

Anyone out there . . .,

 

I have found a ceviche recipe really helps me eat the salmon " raw " but is it

really raw after the lime juice works on it--that is, raw in terms of live

enzymes?
