Hi there

I'm looking for buddies to join me with increasing my healthy green veg intake, together with paleo, pre and probiotics, de-toxing and generally working at a nutrient dense and corrective, low sugar (big challenge) diet.

Would others like to join me?

Kind of a hand holding exercise with laughs and lots of fun and confessions! ie how appalling our diets have been and maybe still are!! Would love to hear from you with your best confessions of disgusting habits so we can all feel better and help each other. Who's really practical out there to nag/cheer and encourage those of us having a go?!

Love Marey xx

    yes you can use a slow cooker i gather. its been really good connecting with you and I will try the chicken...many thanks for that...is it your favourite per chance?

    heres a recipe from me: warm beets and walnut salad

    roast about 3 beetroots for 1 1/2 hours (max 2hrs if large) and peel off skin to discard. lightly bake some walnuts for no more than 10 mins. assemble with a salad or just spinach leaves or basil leaves unshredded...together with vinegrette or a dressing using fresh pressed orange and champagne vinegar!

    enjoy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      here s a healty anti-oxidant desert. this is for those munchy times when if you're like me you'll otherwise go out and buy a bag of organic fudge!!so this is ideal as small lumps in the freezer to quench those urges with just the odd one ....whilst forcing yourself to make a  healthy salad!!!!!!!!!

      ADVOCADO CHOC MOUSSE (frozen pieces)

      in blender (mary this is for you and your blender....but only for reward times when you've kept it together otherwise and as an incentive to get there!!)...whizz 1/2 cup of medjool dates (good for the thyroid and very oxidating) together with 1/2 cup of grade b maple syrup (least processed) and one tsp of organic vanilla then add 2 or 3 organic advocadoes (would be 1 and a half cups when mashed) with 3/4 cup of organic cocoa...also highly anti-oxidant....whizz again and add half a cup of filtered water til smooth.

      stores in freezer in lumps for 3 weeks... thaw 5 mins.    xxxxxxxx

      credit to Dr Axe with love and thanks xxxxxxxx

    Hi Marey,  This is not meant to be rude but just a thought!!!  How about starting your own site or discussion about your diet ideas!  You may find this more rewarding for yourself instead of being shot down when you have ideas good or bad.  Obviously we all want to heal ourselves but we need to make our own minds up and not be forced into decisions.  I think you would feel more forfilled on your own site, where people can choose to take your advice or not.

      Hi Chrisy,

      I will answer on Marey's behalf here. She has done exactly that, ie started a new discussion which from the title is obvious what the subject matter is.

      Marey - do you want me to move this discussion to the Alt Med group?

      Regards,

      Alan

      oh gosh thanks alan.

      well its been sitting here happily enough ...i would really like it to stay please as its specific to LS...the exchanges have obviously been of assistance to some women and there may be others who will refer to it and may find it helpful in the future.

      what is the symbol and number beside my name please?

      I would like folk to be able to continue to private message me should they so wish from this location and in connection with this thread if that would be possible please?   I do feel sad that others are having to resort to private messaging both me and each other so we do not all get the benefit of various ideas experiences and so on but have to hide away instead of enjoying the lovely open and friendly sharing that mostly goes on. But thank you for the question and yes I would like this thread to remain as a resource for new users trying to find their ways around.

      I will be starting a new thread on the alt med site soon. Yet another friend has had the all clear from her gynaecologist!!!! I am so delighted for her. Give it a year...or less and I hope to be joining her. Am proposing to share the journey so those around can see and maybe gain the confidence to try it themselves.

      I believe we are dealing with bullying here Alan. I really appreciate your input. Under the circumstances I will private message you with a list of the names of 'the dictators' because I am fed up with the interference. New people are made to feel uncomfortable.

      I do not accept any rules other than those overtly put forward by the site hosts. I am quite prepared to post new alternative medecine ideas on the new site but I still enjoy interacting here by way of chit chat, recipes and contact with newcomers. Those who want to rely on conventional meds are perhaps the users who need to move!? Due to self imposed restrictions and choice for themselves with which I do not want to interfer.

      However I do wish to resist being ethnically cleansed! Nor being made to feel that these attacks are personal. BUT I DO RESPECT THE WISH OF SOME TO QUIETLY TAKE THEIR MEDS. I'm not sure its right that such a group are able to make it difficult for those newly diagnosed to question their doctors recommendations however.  

      I really appreciate that you are intervening hopefully to bring people to their senses ...once the boundaries are clarified ie. that all are welcome....I'm sure users will settle down. No one is saying 'you cannot use conventional meds if you choose to' (except on the alternative site where concerned people are able to speak freely) but there's a lot of worry about steroids and others are likely to come along again with the same concerns. These concerns are very real. Fortunately there are many medical people who are resisting the clutches of the pharmaceutical companies and educating themselves about alternatives. I don't think its a conspiracy as such but the practices that I used to see (as a nurse and whilst going out with a medical student) whereby drug lunches and so on where common practice has been construed in other countries, noteably China, as bribery and banned to protect its citizens. I wish we were more protective of our citizens and more honest about the conflicts of interest.

    Hi Marey,

    I am so sorry that you thought I was bullying you. I was not. I have no objection to your conversations on this site. I only thought you would enjoy having your own one as well. My only complaint about the way a lot of these conversations are going is when people seem to be made to feel guilty for following doctors advice and using conventional meds or going their own way and using alternative meds. I do appreciate that alternative routes can be just as usefull, I infact use some myself. I had noticed that you are often shot down which I do not feel is right either. I will only comment to someone who is dictorial in their advice as I feel strongly that this is wrong. I too can be single minded about some things and I am sure I will be put in my place for this too at some point. I only meant that we do not know who we are talking to and need to be careful. I do not see the harm in someone seeking doctors and complementary therapy, but I do think it dangerous to tell someone we do not know not to do something that a doctor or therapist has advised. Again I apologise if you think I was bullying. Re-reading my post I suppose it does sound that way a bit, I did not mean that you were not welcome to comment on this site, it is after all an open forum.

      Hi Chrisy/Marey,

      I have edited this post in the guide https://patient.info/forums/discuss/alternative-medicines-etc--257695 to hopefully cover all of the issues that have arisen lately.

      If you get or see replies that are "bullying" or "dictatorial" you can refer the user(s) to that discussion. If you add the link to a post it will not go for moderation as it is "in-site".

      If any user is continually posting "anti alt meds" or "anti conventional" etc please send me a Private Message to let me know and I will message them rather than posting in discussions.

      Thanks,

      Alan
