Fascinating! Healthy fats are crucial—and, of course, staying away from manipulated, processed fats, as your sister discovered.<br /><br /><br />My daughter has mild absence seizures, and I've noticed an enormous improvement with keeping her on a low-carb, high-fat (coconut/olive/butter) diet. When I slip and don't watch her diet carefully, she will predictably begin having problems within a few days. Specialized nutrition is powerful medicine—I'm a firm believer. <br /><br /><br />Great to connect with you here—thanks again!ThriveLivingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650468754883908280.post-74069679435834533522014-03-16T09:23:36.432-06:002014-03-16T09:23:36.432-06:00Most interesting recovery!

I suspect that the removal of the easily oxidized omega-6 from the diet, possibly in combination with reduced inflammation due to lower blood sugar excursions without modern fast carbs can have caused the regression. <br /><br />A younger sister of mine started to develop face and hand tremors at 63 years age. We didn't say anything as we regarded it running in the family on the female side, had by both mother and grand mother. During my then visit I mentioned in an unrelated context the damaging effects of industrial margarine and vegetable oil and the advantage to go back to butter and even saturated fat as it then became clear at least for me that it had been wrongly implicated in heart disease, something really caused by sugar and blood sugar raising junk food.<br /><br />One year later we met again and we others noticed then that her tremors were gone, but said nothing as it could be temporary. Another year later same thing, so then I mentioned it. I asked her if she had made any changes and she said no. Except that after I left 2 years earlier, she took my advice and threw out all vegetable oils and margarines and since been using only olive oil and butter instead!<br /><br />So it may just be worth trying! <br /><br />Regarding "autoimmune disorder", it is an unconfirmed hypothesis. It could be as simple that myelin made of easily oxidized material - like untested omega 6 in never before seen excess - starts to degrade due to time and unfortunate levels of oxidation. If the immune system then starts to clear up the broken residues , the body is not "attacking itself".<br />It is known that monounsaturated fats are low in myelin that degrades. <br />If saturated fats, that are the most long lasting and hence hard to oxidize fat also is found to be low, it may just be a lack of proper raw materials that causes the problems. I recall reading of a very sharp increase of MS 1920-1930 from virtually nothing. Margarines were introduced on a wider basis the decade before. Then it of course also contained transfats but the removal of these have not stopped MS.Nostents4menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650468754883908280.post-9999541026640892242013-10-15T23:12:25.051-06:002013-10-15T23:12:25.051-06:00The healthy food that comes highly recommended fro...The healthy food that comes highly recommended from Cavelady Cooking is the Breakfast <br />Hash.

I think the reason so many have found the paleo way of life to be helpful is that it eliminates grains, starches, dairy and processed sugar (which tend to be problematic). <br /><br />I myself was vegetarian for almost a decade with periods of vegan and high raw. I love the sustainable aspect and truly feel it is the most ethical diet. However, I eventually had to face the fact that I wasn't thriving on it. You can read more about my decision to give up vegetarianism here: http://www.thrive-living.net/2013/07/flash-greens-with-red-pepper-olives-and.html<br /><br />Over the years, I have become more flexible in my ideals and have acknowledged that everyone is different. We are all highly unique and complex. What works for one may not work for another. <br /><br />I applaud your vegan lifestyle and it's wonderful that the diet is such a good fit for you. I agree, eliminating processed foods and eating more veggies is an excellent way to improve and maintain health. Keep up the good work!ThriveLivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033405028261584056noreply@blogger.com
