Okay. You've got me interested. It seems as though we have been studying the same things and have been coming to the same conclusions although you are light years ahead of me.
After having perused this site now for a few days, I gotta ask, what is your diet? Please tell me exactly because I have been making major modifications and I feel great yet I want to know what else to do.
Last year against my better judgement I got three Hep B shots. This was to please the school where I am taking Nursing courses. I almost didn't do it and I wish I hadn't. These third shot set off the autoimmune response in me and later I came to find out that Hep B shots are notorious for bringing about Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. Needless to say, my joints felt horrible and have for the last 9 months which is when I got the last of the 3 shots.
That is until recently. I have cut out even eating tortilla chips which are loaded in corn oil and soybean oil. I have stocked up on coconut oil and only have beef or nitrite free bacon and no high fructose corn syrup and the daily aspirin routine has stopped because I don't feel the same low level inflammation anymore. But I want to keep going with this?
What should I do? |

On the left margin of this site you will see links to essays I've written. One is called "the best practical diet..." Just read that and if you have questions, ask me on this thread. I suggest that you read through those essays, along with the long thread on the "underlying cause of disease" and you will understand about as much as I do at that point. |

| No, it is not available where I live. There is a "health food" store, but the dairy is pasteurized (and much is homogenized too), which is what I'm mostly concerned about (not whether it's organic). Plus it's much, much more expensive, which irritates me. In any case, I witnessed my great grandparents live to very old ages, and they ate a lot of canned fruit and dairy, from the local grocery store. They usually did not cook the dairy, they used olive oil rather than the highly polyunsaturated oils (though they didn't use much oil in any case), and they ate only small portions of meat. Though I'd prefer to eat flash pasteurized, organic, non-homogenized dairy, it's too much of a hassle, overall. I think if you "compensate" with some antioxidant-rich foods like berries, raisins, dark chocolate, etc., it may not make much of a difference. |

| Be sure to take magnesium in the citrate form. About oxidized cholesterol - it's not nearly as easy to oxidize cholesterol as it is to oxidize PUFAs, so the key is not to cook it. I've seen studies that claim that "leftover" skinless chicken and also steamed salmon are very bad for oxidized cholesterol, but that fried eggs might not be as bad (I still boil my eggs anyway). If you drink fat free milk, there are no PUFAs or MUFAs, and it's lower than cholesterol, containing hardly any per serving, so if there are no lipids, then you don't have to worry about lipid peroxidation. I would drink non-homogenized whole milk, but it's very expensive around here and I just don't see the point to spend the extra money on it (it's not even organic, and it's pasteurized). |
