Jim, Laura...
Many people have literally eaten their way out of health problems, which is intriguing, but not possible for everyone. I am curious about your diet changes -- and sacrifices -- have you two gotten better because of your iterative changes? I'd be curious if your blood pH (and saliva) changed during your doc's care and dietary changes. For sure, your oral pH affects your bacterial flora!
I have met people that "eaten" their way out of arthritis, IBS, mood problems and/or juiced their way out of back pain. Of course, these were all different people, different problems, different diets. But what is cool is that they committed to a change and stuck to it.
And thx for the reminder on Pollan's book...I'll check to see if my library has it. Should I buy it? Do you find it's a good reference too?
Hope your test results are unambiguous, interesting and helpful.
