I was diagnosed back in 1980 as being hypoglycaemic by an alternative medical practitioner _____ A typical, run-of-the-mill headache arises when the body constricts blood flow through the brain for a period of time. Most commonly, this occurs when the body is trying to remove some toxic material. To protect the brain, the body reduces the surface area of the blood vessels themselves until the toxin has passed. Lynne, all the foods you suggested are very acidic. When you douse your system in acid, the acid must be removed promptly, if the body can (has the energy and other resources to) do so. Also, did you eat ANY high-fat foods (avocado, nuts, seeds, nut butter, oil) or any cooked food at all within 4-8 hours prior to eating the oranges and/or pineapple? If so, you likely experienced a food combining problem in addition to short-term hyperacidity. In other words, this is not a " blood sugar problem, " and it probably never was. Therefore, two things: 1. Emphasize the sweet fruits, get those into your system ahead of lots of acid fruits each day. 2. Eat greens. In other words, alkalize, give your body lots of the most alkalizing material you can, within the normal bounds of healthy portions for you. PS Almost all " blood sugar problems " actually are caused by something occurring before the blood sugar is observably off. Since virtually all medical practice, allopathic and alternative, seeks and responds to symptoms, the actual causes of conditions are rarely even sought, much less identified or addressed. This is definitely the case with the various " blood sugar " diagnoses available for sale from allopathic and alternative practitioners alike -- hyper/hypoglycemia, insulin resistance (that's a newer diagnostic code available for sale, at least in the US), diabetes type 2, chronic fatigue syndrome, Candida, etc. In general, as I wrote in a previous post, these conditions arise from elevated blood fat -- ---------------------[ Ciphire Signature ]---------------------- vlinfo signed email body (1901 characters) on 22 March 2005 at 16:02:26 UTC rawfood ------------------------------- : Ciphire has secured this email against identity theft. : Free download at www.ciphire.com.
