Doctor treats husband's alzheimers with coconut oil

I've read about this before and forgotten it.  Jim just found it in ALIVE, the Canadian natural health and wellness magazine.  Since we're not allowed to have corn oil or soy soil we are definitely switching to coconut oil.  Here's the link to the article.  I made pancakes this morning using tapioca flour and millet flour.  Jim had his with blueberies and I had mine with artificial syrup.  We each had one, then filed the rest in the Trash Bin!  yuck  Back to the drawing board!!

Foodprint 200+ IgG Food Intolerance Test

Jim and I have gotten the results back from the bloodwork we had done for the food intolerance testing called Foodprint.  Food intolerances can be the cause of many symptoms including bloating, weight problems, depression, sinus issues, headaches, anxiety, skin problems and insomnia to name but a few. So we're now changing our diet to avoid all the foods that our results indicate our bodies can't handle.  No more dairy, eggs, yeast, wheat flour, rice, beans, cabbage, corn, peas and sugar to name just a few.  Each day is a new adventure in shopping and eating.   I'm still looking for a supplier of water buffalo milk, which is the only dairy that we can have!  The good news is we can eat ostrich, octopus, eel, cuttle fish and barnacles if we can catch them!
