I recently discovered a book called "The Virgin Diet". Don't worry, it's not what you think, the author's name is JJ Virgin.
The book advocates basically a Paleo diet, but also addresses food allergies/sensitivities. The 1st 3 weeks you eliminate the 7 most likely candidates: gluten, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, peanuts and sugar. (I actually haven't read the entire book so I'm not an expert, but for sugar I think fruit is still OK and small amounts in things like ketchup are still OK.) After the 3 weeks are over you have challenge weeks which re-introduce one of these foods at a time, if you want to, that is. I've been trying this for a week so it's still early, but have had no arthritis pain (or any other pain; I often get random abdominal pains) since I started. My arthritis was not severe, it only occasionally gave me minor pain, but my Dad had it pretty bad and I want to address it before it gets bad. You absolutely cannot cheat during this 3 weeks or it's all a waste of time. For some reason knowing this has made it easy for me so far, I've not even had the slightest urge to cheat. -Alan On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 9:09 AM, Gary Hilt <[email protected]>wrote: > Its me again. i have been active everyday lost 48 pounds. i have tried, > borage oil ViteE, potassium,sveral others calium/magnesium etc. i stillhave > this annoying achesin hips and shoulders. i have used dmso and caposaisin > australian dream cream. > Any other ideas ???
