I spoke with a friend yesterday who was just on a retreat in the mountains of Peru. She's been ketogenic for about three years, eats no grain, potatoes, etc ... She is a CIRS/biotoxin phenotype with a history of lyme, so very sensitive to things. She was really worried about what food would be available and how she would get by. She said she ended up eating more carbs in 12 days than in three years and had no reaction. She commented that the quinoa tasted completely different from even the best available in the US, and that they soak it 24 hours before cooking it. Now maybe her body has just healed enough to eat that way again, or maybe it was the immersion in a world that hasn't gone industrial and where people are happier and give more and are far more connected to the Earth. The lifestyle X factor where the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.SusanJ wrote:circ, it is likely context, and not just genetic, but maybe other assaults on our gut are setting the stage, like antibiotics, glyphosate, BPA and other toxins we have ingested in our lives and still can ingest unwittingly. What are those doing to our guts, microbiota and immune system?
I feel as though I'm in the second generation of a huge chemistry experiment. I see a potential connection between my dad's AD (he was a farmer and WW2 vet), and his use of DDT, aldrin, 2,4-D and other agricultural chemicals, not to mention the military's use of DDT and the like on mosquitos to prevent malaria. One of my brothers who used to farm is still in an Iowa State study tracking his biomarkers over a lifetime. Another brother gets ill around the chemicals that lawn services use, he suspects, because he was in Vietnam and around Agent Orange. And who knows about dicamba and the other chemicals used today.
I really hate being the canary in the coal mine, but I think that's where E4s are today. Maybe without the other assaults, we'd fare okay with lectins and other foods that have ended up on the problematic list.
