re: After much research, and the help of a family member who is a doctor, I slowly came to realize that it is the foods we eat today that are causing a multitude of problems, including the epidemic of type 2 diabetics, mostly related to how the body processes sugars, and how the body utilizes insulin.)))
Have cut my own "impacting" carbs down to around 30-40 grams a day, about ten percent of what's recommended on the AHA food pyramid. Attained my weight goal six months ago. I used to be famished by ten in the morning, and sleepy by three in the afternoon. No more... The Heart Association has turned us into a nation of rolypoly diabetics, and they have the nerve to blame video games...
I suspect diabetics are also consuming too many carbs. I've looked into using foods designed for diabetics and they are too high in sugars/starches.

I have been 95% cured of horrible allergies with this same therapyThat's wonderful! I first saw Dr. Ray on TBN about 7 yrs ago.....since then, he has trained several physicians in the DFW area in his techniques. When my friend took her daughter...it was still a controversial method and the insurance companies wouldn't touch it. The cost wiped out her savings....but it was worth every penny. Blue Cross was the first to start funding it...I'm sure do to the alternative expense of treating kids with respiratory disorders, ADD, etc...for years on end.
I'm really BIG on treating the root cause....not just the symptoms. When I first started nursing, I watched my patients used as guinea pigs,(try this drug, that drug) sometimes with horrific results. I started paying more attention to alternative health methods through herbs, food and food supplements. We have no idea what we've truly been exposed to in the way of chemicals/drugs that have crippled our immune systems. Allergies are just one of the symptoms of that. I used to have crippling migraines... but since I started pumping my immune system... I haven't had one since 1997...and that was due to a neck injury.

Ah, the tomato defense, yes, people don't kill people, guns do, tomatos do, etc. Your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, when my client was 3 years old he ate a lot of tomatos and this made him into a vicious serial killer. It is not his fault, it was the tomatos. In fact, maybe one day they will determine that cereal makes someone into a serial killer. The cereal-serial link. Let's keep spending billions of taxpayer dollars to find out.

The only good use of a tomatoe is
in a bloody mary.

we found out that the sodium in hotdogs and lunch meats made his behaviour very bad.While I'm very happy for you and your son, it was most likely the nitrites, not the sodium, that affected his behavior. An OD on sodium will just give you high blood pressure.
Best of luck!

The Cactus Clinic, at Teesside University in Middlesbrough,
Peopled, no doubt, by a bunch of dumb pricks. Of all fields of science, it is nutrition that draws the most quacks.

How can you not like Granger County Tomatoes? It's easy. I can eat one and puke, or not eat one and not puke. Given the choice, it's easy. :)

I used to know a guy who's mother wouldn't allow him to have tomatoes for this reason..
Seriously, even the local restaurants wouldn't allow him ketchup.
No kidding..

Food from the middle east makes me want to develope weapons of mass distruction and take unreasonable control over women. I one day had Sauerbraten for lunch and a Soufflé for dinner. I kept invading the neighbors that evening and then surrendering. Very odd.

In other words, our real knowledge of diet is still extremely primitive.Eat a well balanced meal.
A little bit of everything in moderation, nothing to excess.
Stick to foods that are still somewhat recognizable as having been raised by a farmer.
Individual needs may vary, but this should be good 'nuff for the majority of the population.
Eat what God intended you to eat, you can't go far astray.

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
Now I know it may sound funny.
But it keeps them on my knife.
