Hi everyone,
I am really finding this way of life interesting and what makes it so interesting is that there is research to back it up.
My health problems are:
PCOS
severe hypertension
gerd
abdominal obesity
75 lbs overweight
mild cardiomyapathy from the high blood pressure
candida
depression
Acanthosis nigricans
fatigue
Anybody else on here got rid of any major diseases or disorders? I would love to hear it.
I've gotten rid of a lot of major problems, though Fast-5 was just part of it. I like the fact that there IS a lot of good science backing up the ideas, unlike pretty much everything else I've done in the past.
The thing that really helped me originally though was going gluten-free ... I never did get diagnosed officially with celiac but my gastro NOW says that is what was going on. Thing is, the antibodies that are produced in that condition can lead to a lot of what you are dealing with here. Fast-5 really, really helps treat gluten issues too, which is why I do it. The gut gets severely messed up by years of eating gluten and having a reaction to it (think of living with a dog if you have a dog allergy). This leads to antibody problems where the antibodies attack your pancreas, liver, thyroid, etc., which can lead to blood sugar problems. Again, this is backed up by a lot of science.
Getting *tested* for it is another thing though, because most docs just don't think of it and think it is a very rare problem. Now though there is another problem, which is that everyone is saying "it's just a fad". It's not a fad, it's a real disease, and it is very, very common. And deadly.
So if you want to do some *more* homework, you might want to peruse, say:
He's a veterinary doctor, which is an interesting take on things. I think his first (and excellent) writeup is under the "The answer" link.
Fast-5 helps with this ... it cured me of some lingering gut issues (though I still come up with new tweaks!). Doing F5, when I actually get exposed to gluten it just doesn't affect me as much, and I'm less reactive to *any* food. I used to have to take enzymes to digest food, because basically I just don't produce enough of them anymore, probably due to organ damage. But on F5 I don't: I eat a meal and it doesn't really matter if it has a lot of fat, a lot of meat. Too much sugar is still problematic unless I take glucomannan with the meal.
Anyway, kudos to you for keeping an open mind, and trying out things to see what works!
