Soy Myth

[Guest guest]

Here is a link to a page that explains soy. Don't know who conducted the

study and all that stuff that makes folks question an arcticles validity.

 

http://www.westonaprice.org/myths_truths/myths_truths_soy.html

 

I consumed soy daily and loved it until I read another arcticle, which I

found on:

www.gooff.com called " soy myth " And I emmediately stopped it's consumption.

I had this pain in my left breast for along time and was very concerned,

the gynoclologist couldn't find anything but I knew something was wrong. I

read the arcticle, quit soy and the pain/discomfort went away. I confided

in my mom as well regarding my pain and she ironically said she had a

similiar one in her breast, she also consumed soy. She quit as well and

the pain went away. I tried getting to the gooff sight but it's

unavailable so I came up with the first link for any of you interested in

delving into soy further.

>I am a morbidly obese woman, 46, who has recovered from stage four ovarian

>cancer with three grapefruit sized tumors. I had both chemo and radiation

>(all in 1991.) I am a Strong willed Leo with four Scorpio risings.

>(Hmmm... that is a rather redundant sentence...

>

>I ended up RAPIDLY gaining a HUGE amount of weight in spite of eating a

>fairly balanced diet. (My creed is... If you can't wash it, don't eat

>it... I call it Louise's Raccoon diet.) I literally doubled my weight in

>six months or less. My " then " doctor insisted I was " merely overeating. "

>

>What I didn't realize, and my doctor missed is that my thyroid and pancreas

>were badly damaged by the radiation and chemo. In fact, I had never heard

>of such a thing and (I guess neither did he.) Due to being so ill, I was

>on state aid, which meant I was limited to the really old town doctor who

>had completely missed the cancer. He was over 80 years old and still

>practicing medicine.(It was found by accident and someone stepped forward

>and paid for my surgeries by an talented oncologist)

>

>I am in Washington state after moving back from Arizona and now have a new

>doctor. I walked into this young female doctor's office and the first

>thing out of her mouth was " My God! How long have you been diabetic? "

>(She had not even picked up my chart...) I had a glucose tolerance test

>and she was SO right... Moreover the three month test suggested that I had

>been diabetic for a very very long time. (Did I mention that I was

>chronically anemic and at death's door too?) My sugars were right out the

>roof.

>When I asked her how she knew, she said she could actually tell from how

> " sweet " I smelled.

>

>Well we have been working very closely together... I have gone from 332

>pounds down to 305.8 (Having lost six in the last ten days since my prior

>visit) and my three month blood levels have gone from 9.3 to 8.8 to 7.9.

>(I am due again in August and she thinks I will be under 7.0)

>

>I make my own soy milk, sprout my own grains, and transplanted all my

>garden veggies into pots to go on the move to the Big city with me (yellow

>squash, zucchini, beans etc.) Thankfully a have a bit of yard to work

>with. I am also taking dozens of buckets of the soil I organically

>composted with me...

>

>I am willing to do cleansings, and have one for Candida. I thought it

>would be a good one to try since I have had dozens of prescriptions on

>antibiotics. I will be moved by the end of the month and will be unpacked

>enough to be able to have the space, time, and peace to cleanse by the end

>of August.

>

>I am open to much and would really appreciate suggestions. I do have to be

>very careful as I am still very weak and VERY easily fatigued. My Chinese

>doctor that I go to in China Town, San Francisco refused to give me

>acupuncture as I was too weak. I have been drinking a special tea he

>blended for me... (I am not sure tea is the right word for the roots and

>things that I soak in a pot and drink... but the word escapes me. (That

>happens a lot lately...)

>

>I am on the following meds.

> a.. Glucotrol 5mg with Breakfast.

> b.. Metformin 500mg with each of three meals.

> c.. Lisinopril 20mg with Breakfast

> d.. Amitriptyline 50mg a few hours before bedtime for nerve pain in my

>legs and back

> e.. Omeprazole which is generic prilosec 40mg same time as the

>Amitriptyline

> f.. Ferrous Gluc 324mg once or twice daily.

> g.. Vitamin C 200 mg with the Iron

> h.. Flax Seed oil capsules 1000mg (three a day If I remember.)

>I walk as much as I can, (I have virtually no kneecaps, a birth defect

>which makes it dreadfully difficult to rise from a sit or use stairs.) I

>have and normally use an Ab Doer and Ab Cruncher a couple times a week and

>do callenetics and facercise on the other days. I would love to learn

>Yoga. My daughter tried to teach me, but the positions were far too

>advanced for me. One of the first things I will do at the new house in two

>weeks is to get a beginners yoga book of some type.

>

>Well that is me and where I am at...
