I feel like a voyeur here. I've been reading this whole exchange...no comment.
I agree with one of Mig's observations- food is just about one of the only real pleasures I get now.
Now substance for a sec... The reason I see that we who use medications do them on a trial and error basis
is simply that the meds work or not differently in different people...I think there are probably at least as many
subgroups as there are variations in diagnoses. I also believe that the diet program may work also differently
in individual cases.
Personally, confronted with a weight problem, I did the stillman diet for ten months: meat, fish, boiled eggs,
cottage cheese, salt and pepper, and ketchup...10 glasses of water a day...NOTHING ELSE> that's a no
starch diet if there ever was one. Well my back and hips were worse the whole time; my experience with
stillman leads me to conclude the LSD/NSD would probably not improve my life; and, with my now history of
ulcer from NSAIDS the greens and salads stuff give me the willies...a vegetarian tiger ?
