MS - or any autoimmune disease - Reg

[Guest guest]

Reg - Following

are nutritional and supplement strategies for inflammatory and autoimmune

conditions.

 

Carol

 

 

I.

Remove Offending ”Trigger

“ Foods:

 

•

Remove strong acid producing

foods. Examples are beef, chicken

and pork.

If you must eat any of these meats, at

least reduce the amounts significantly.

 

 

• Remove all dairy products (cheese

and milk). These are also acid

producing

foods. If you can not avoid them,

then buy goat-based cheese (the soft kind) or raw goat milk.

 

• Avoid grains that are considered

high-glycemic foods. Examples are corn

chips,

instant processed grain mixes (i.e., puffed wheat), cakes, pies, pastry,

processed breakfast cereals, instant grain cereals, white rice, white flour and

white flour pastas.

 

• Avoid breads containing

yeast. It may be prudent to consume

types of

bread

made from whole rye and leavened with lactobacillus.

 

• Remove hydrogenated oils and

margarine from your diet. Use

coconut

butter or

oil (not processed) for cooking.

Use extra virgin olive oil or raw butter for any cold spreads.

 

• Avoid non-foods (i.e., salt,

alcohol, artificial sweeteners, coffee, tea,

soft

drinks, ....etc.).

 

• Avoid soy products, except for

fermented soy products (miso, tamari

sauce,

and tempeh).

 

II.

Your Daily Anti-inflammatory Diet:

For the first 14 days:

 

Michael

Klapper, M.D., recommends this strict diet for the

first 14 days.

Eat

only: (In unlimited amounts)

A) Brown

rice and sweet potatoes (for

energy and protein).

B) Green and yellow vegetables (for vitamins and minerals).

C) Non-citrus fruits (for vitamins, minerals and

fiber).

D) Vegetable soups, broth, and fresh

vegetable juices.

E) Ample pure water, at least a 6 oz. cup

or glass every 1-2 hours.

Reconstruct

your diet after 14 days with “safe” foods. You can add oily fish, such as salmon,

halibut or cod, soft goat cheeses, citrus fruits, all types of vegetables,

nuts, seeds...etc.

 

When

you add such foods back to your diet, it is a good idea to add one food at a

time, every two days. You need to

observe carefully any effects on your joints and other tissues while keeping a

food diary to record your body’s reaction (if any) to each single

reintroduced food. Note any food

that incites swelling, stiffness, pain in joints, or other adverse bodily

reactions

within 2 days. As your list

of “safe foods” grows, base your

daily

meal choices on foods that cause no problems and that make you feel your best.

 

III. Repair “Leaky”

Gut:

 

A) Friendly Bacteria supplementation:

 

Lynne

McFarland, Ph.D......., from the Department of

Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine in

Seattle, WA., reported that oral supplementation of

friendly bacteria such as acidophilus (http://tinyurl.com/24ajq

)and bifidus (http://tinyurl.com/26rur

)can help recolonize the intestinal tract with good

bacteria which can then force out toxic bacteria (Bland, Genetic....p.

133).

 

One

of the best friendly bacteria products in the market today is a wide-spectrum

friendly bacteria supplement micro-blended with fructo-oligosaccharides. Following are its ingredients: Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Bifidobacterium bifidum,

Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum,

Lactobacillus salivarius, Streptococcus faecium, Streptococcus thermophilus,

Acerola and Rose Hips blend, wild blue green algae,

Jerusalem Artichoke, Lipase, Amylase, Protease, and Cellulase. (http://tinyurl.com/6gzqa

)

 

B) Enzyme Therapy:

 

Digestive

plant-based enzyme therapy is used to improve the breakdown and assimilation of

food nutrients, reduce stress on the gastrointestinal mucous, help maintain

normal body pH levels, detoxify the body, promote the growth of healthy

intestinal flora, and strengthen the body as a whole.

 

Systemic

enzyme therapy is used to reduce inflammation and stimulate the immune system. Enzymes improve circulation, help speed

tissue repair, bring nutrients to the damaged area, and remove waste

products.

 

One

of the best enzyme products in the market today is a wide-spectrum blend of 12

active enzymes with digestive-enhancing ingredients such as blue green algae

(high mineral food), fennel, ginger and cayenne pepper. (http://tinyurl.com/ey8l )

 

C) High quality dietary fiber:

 

To

maintain intestinal hygiene, you need about 35 to 40 grams of different fiber

sources everyday (i.e., bran, cellulose, lignin, pectin, etc.), all found in

different organically grown, ripe seasonal fruits, seeds, whole grains, and

vegetables. Dietary fiber helps

improve the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Dietary fiber is fermented into SCFAs by friendly bacteria like acidophilus and bifidus. One of

the best fiber sources is from brown rice and it has no adverse reactions in

the intestinal tract. Rice has both

the insoluble and soluble fiber, which friendly bacteria ferment to SCFAs. SCFAs nourishes

the critical intestinal lining.

 

Another

source of good fiber is flax seed.

Besides being a well-rounded source of both the insoluble and soluble

fibers, flax contains another component called lignans. Lignans have

antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties (grind flax seed

immediately before you eat it).

 

IV.

Enhance Natural Anti-Inflammatory Processes Through

Whole Food

Supplements:

 

A) Wild-crafted blue Green Algae: (http://tinyurl.com/g1iz )

 

A

specific amino acid, L-glutamine, is found to reduce inflammation.

According

to Douglas Wilmore, M.D., a trauma care surgeon at Harvard Medical

School, the amino acid

L-glutamine improves intestinal function and can help preserve the gut lumen

and heal a leaky gut (Bland, Genetic ..., p. 135).

 

One

of the most amazing foods high in L-glutamine is wild-crafted blue green algae

from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon.

It is nearly two-thirds protein which is an unusually high proportion,

particularly for a “plant” food. Dietarily

essential amino acids compose 49.1% and non dietarily

essential amino acids compose 50.9%.

Supplementing with 4 capsules a day gives the body 78 mg. of L.

Glutamine. High amounts of blue

green algae are needed to promote healing of a leaky gut.

 

In

addition, Wild-crafted blue green algae provides the vitamins

and minerals that can put messages of inflammation to sleep. For example, blue green algae is high in vitamin B-complex, including vitamin B3 or niacinamide. B3

can prevent inflammation by reducing immune system activation and the resulting

oxidant stress, which ultimately produces the pain, swelling, redness and

tissue destruction of arthritis (p. 137).

 

 

B) Virgin coconut oil:

 

Coconut

oil can reduce inflammation. In a

study reported by Dr. S. Sadeghi, coconut oil

decreased pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body. The researcher suggested that coconut

oil might be useful in therapies involving a number of acute and chronic

inflammatory diseases (Sadeghi, S. et al, 1999,

Dietary lipids modify the cytokine response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide

in mice.

Immunology

96(3):404).

 

Coconut

oil has strong antimicrobial effects and can eliminate harmful and toxic

organisms and therefore can prevent/relieve the inflammation and pain they

cause.

 

To

get a therapeutic benefit from consuming coconut oil, 3 1/2 tablespoons is the

recommended daily intake. You can

also incorporate more coconut meat and milk into your diet. For example, seven ounces of dried

coconut provides 3

1/2 tablespoons of oil.

 

 

C) Wheat Sprouts:

 

Wheat

sprouts as a whole food supplement provides one of the most potent antioxidant

enzymes to fight inflammation; superoxide dismutase (SOD).

Since SOD requires copper and zinc as cofacters

to initiate maximum effectiveness, a whole food supplement that combines other

foods high in minerals would be the best type of supplement. We recommend a whole food antioxidant

made of organic wheat sprouts, blue green algae and red beta algae (dunaliella salina). (http://tinyurl.com/6vxtu )

 

D) Turmeric and Ginger:

 

Take

turmeric powder internally as an anti-inflammatory food. Taken internally, turmeric can inhibit

TNF which is a chemical mediator of inflammation. Take one teaspoon three times daily with

or without meals. Best taken at bed time.

Ginger

is considered an important anti-pain and anti-inflammation food in the very old

Ayurvedic and Tibb system

of medicine in India. Buy organic ginger powder and start by

taking a heaping teaspoon per day.

Mix the ginger with your favorite beverage. Or if you don’t mind the taste,

mix it in water (ideal way of taking it).

 

Nutrition and the Inflammation Process:

 

If

you have a problem with chronic

arthritis symptoms including ankylosing spondylitis, your first course of action might be to utilize

the above recommended dietary changes and whole food supplements. Look for ways as to how your diet and

lifestyle can interrelate to reduce the outcome of inflammation. By modifying your diet and lifestyle,

you may be able to realize considerable improvements in your body’s

immune system function and thereby lower the level of “alarm

substances” traveling in your bloodstream that trigger inflammation.

There are differences in our viewpoints that might resonate with

people (comments interspersed)...

Many alternative practitioners point out that we require lots of

animal protein. As an alternative to avoiding meat we can control the

net acidity by eating 80% alkaline-forming foods and by supplementing

with toxin reducing antioxidants and alkalizing minerals.

 

Similarly, removing all dairy for wellness is a myth that is

especially counterproductive; cold-processed whey for example is the

highest biological value and balanced protein source you can eat,

it's also mildly alkalizing and it produces the body's most important

antioxidant and detoxifier, glutathione.

It's equally important to reduce intake of all starchy foods

including rye bread, whole grains and potatoes. All the starchy foods

are deadly in th long run; potatoes convert to glucose faster than

sucrose does.

Even fermented soy should be limited to an ounce or less per day to

avoid the carcinogenic, goiterogenic and thyroid-inhibiting

proprties. Soy is not safe as a protein substitute because of these

properties.

The resulting glycemic rush to shut down your growth hormone

production and reduce your immune response for about 5 hours. Your

energy and protein needs are better met with cold-processed whey.

Glutathione produced by the whey is directly involvd in ATP energy

generation in th cells (Krebs cycle), and the whey is a vastly

superior protein source.

Recolonisation is unnecessary in most people; the starter culture is

already present as millions of colony-forming units. What people are

looking for is a decent fluorish of beneficial bacteria, and

predictably that fluorish of activity, and the benefits that occur,

requires feeding them. Adding probiotics in capsules doesn't do that,

and that's the reason that probiotic capsules only work if you keep

taking them. They fail to feed the prebiotic organisms, so they fail

to compete on the bowel lining. All your existing culture requires is

several grams of inulin daily.

 

> One of the best friendly bacteria products in the market today is a

> wide-spectrum friendly bacteria supplement micro-blended with

> fructo-oligosaccharides.

 

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) is a very short-chained polysaccharide

that can feed many kinds or organism besides the prebiotics in the

capsule. The large amount of gas produced and the associated lack of

control over which bacteria are fed, make short-chained FOS a poor

choice as a prebiotic except in the place the company has used it,

inside the capsule. However, the tiny amount in the capsule is a only

a marketing maneuver; it is vastly insufficient to provide a

meaningful amount of feed for the probiotic even if the encapsulated

probiotic got all of it. One needs several grams -- about 12 to 15

grams per day is optimal to feed the bowel's probiotic population.

 

For that matter the probiotic itself is a marketing maneuver, as it's

been proven to be unnecessary, and if had been necessary, on the

order of 200 capsules daily has been calculated to supply the right

number of bifidobacteria to the bowel alone. That might provide also

enough FOS too, in this case The science on prebiotics is here:

I believe in enzyme therapy and I've seen some of what it can do, but

I question the necessity of enzyme therapy in most people because the

raw foods we eat will usually provide plenty of enzymes. You might

have to select the food a little better. (Also ensuring the body

isn't mineral deficient will allow it to make its own) What's more, a

diet rich in raw vegetables would provide lots of phytosterols and

other phytonutrients as well as plant-based antioxidants.

Antioxidants reduce inflammation, and that's a specific property of

the glutathione produced by the cold-processed whey mentioned above.

Here's more of the science of glutathione:

The reason that cellulose for example doesn't have my vote is that

several of the pathogenic bowel organisms can fluorish on it, e. coli

and clostridia I know of, and I think also rotavirus, all diarrhea-

causing opportunists that surge particularly if the inulin

requirement in the bowel has not been met. This problem with fibre

generally is repeated across th board; many problem bacteria can use

fiber. In contrast, pathognic organisms can not use sugar-free, FOS-

free inulin, which is a high quality dietary fiber in addition to

being a prebiotic.

The part about the benefits of SCFAs is true, but one would be better

off remembering that in addition to the starch in rice being a

prebiotic, it also feeds just about everything else. This can and

does produce a pronounced adverse reaction in the intestinal tract;

ask anyone with bowel dysbiosis and candida.

Many plants contain lignans and plenty of insoluble fiber so it

should be unnecessary to supplement lignans in addition to the

dietary vegetables. If you're taking inulin you don't need psyllium

for the soluble fiber either.

> A) Wild-crafted blue Green Algae:

 

I prefer what Life Force International did with Body Balance; by

using the whole (cold-squeezed) juice of nine sea vegetables and aloe

vera gel, they avoid the inherent limitations of a monoculture. For

example the mineral component from sea veggies is practically an

exact match for our requirements. A complete complement of

phytonutrients, chlorophyll, vitamins, and amino acids is present,

it's a supernutrient and it's about 90% bioavailable. Moreover, the

beneficial polysaccharide component of the sea veggies (fucoidans)

and the aloe vera (acemannans) has been well researched and in fact a

new branch of biological scince and Nobel prizes has issued from it.

These particular polysaccharides are not available in algae.

 

 

> One of the most amazing foods high in L-glutamine is wild-crafted

Another good source of glutamine is cold-processed whey. Wheys vary;

the brand I have has 5.2 grams of glutamine per serving, and most

people take two servings daily. This is more than enough glutamine to

feed the bowel lining and help heal leaky gut. In addition, the

whey's high biological value makes it a metabolic increaser, so if

the bowel dysbiosis is corrected the healing takes place pretty

quickly, even more so because the glutathione produced by the whey

directly soothes inflammation, quenches free radical damage and

prevents further damage.

High amounts is an understatement; 266 capsules of blue green algae

would provide the same amount of glutamine that a single scoop of

cold-processed whey provides at a cost of about a dollar.

Referring back to the research with regard to glutathione shows its

pivotal role in oxidative stress, as it's correctly called. Here's a

research query into PubMed on glutathione and arthritis:
