This is a quick note in response to any people asking if they should stop medications they are on. You should NEVER stop medications or wean off meds, go "cold turkey" on medications without a doctor's supervision and OK.<br />
<br />
That being said many more functional medicine or holistic doctors or naturopathic doctors are going to be on board with lowering or trying to get you off medications completely. Always do your own research and make sure any doctor you choose has great recommendations. Any doctor can be great or awful and make sure you are OK with what they are telling you to do and what protocol they tell you to follow. The are working for YOU and YOU can call some of the shots, they are many doctors out there that will listen to you, the patient, as they should!Toni Kaste NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16471800660629204875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935729912257046543.post-34111685115643382092016-05-31T08:56:00.001-07:002016-05-31T08:56:12.904-07:00Mold in Foods in NY (Winter)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
As winter turns to spring here in NY, I was told by my holistic doctor to avoid moldy foods. Right away I thought avoid grains, nuts, beans, sugary foods, root veggies, tropical fruits and more...foods stored for long periods are most at risk.<br />
<br />
The problem is in NY the growing season ends in November and between November til April/May, NY gets food "trucked" in from FL ,CA , and then tropical locations as well.<br />
<br />
When the not usually moldy foods are on trucks/ships for a week/2 weeks or more to get here...guess what? EVERYTHING gets moldy! It was VERY frustrating to find foods that were not moldy.<br />
<br />
Now, thank goodness it is the end of May and the farmers are cranking out those veggies and there I will be to get FRESH veggies/fruits from their fields.<br />
<br />
Another way to make sure your food is fresher is to grow it yourself.<br />
<br />
I have realized gardening is not one of my strengths, although I love to see things grow!<br />

Elimination diets can be sooo helpful to find the foods that are causing inflammation and thereby causing you pain in your joints, headaches, muscle aches, sinus pain, etc They're not the same for everyone, but for folks with joint issues/ diseases there are some foods that are much more common offenders. <br />
<br />
Watch the gluten, wheat ,barley, rye, and even oats (even gluten free oats) dairy and eggs of course...<br />
<br />
But when people eliminate the wheat, eggs and dairy...many add in corn, white potato, gluten free grains /oats (broken down to sugars), and sugar ...these can also cause inflammation.<br />
<br />
Some foods that cause pain, in many with joint problems, are beef (not sure if grass fed beef would be less inflammatory- seems to be a plausible theory), tomatoes (and other nightshades- eggplant, white potato, bell peppers etc), bananas, and peanut butter.<br />
<br />
When you do an elimination diet, pay special attention to these foods if and when you add them back in.Toni Kaste NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16471800660629204875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935729912257046543.post-33141791017845353112015-03-17T07:04:00.001-07:002015-03-17T07:04:37.030-07:00Come Visit Lupus Hope on FaceBook<br />

I got 66,000! I'm proud! I eat lots of veggies and fruits and nuts. And I take supplements recommended by a holistic doctor. Yay! I have lots of anti-oxidants! They have a cool video in the link below, from the Dr. Oz show explaining the scanner and the audiences results. Please click the link below and scroll down to watch the Dr. Oz video</span><br />

<br />
A really great article on chronic illness and marriage. I saw a statistic that 75% of marriages fail, when one partner is diagnosed with a chronic disease. Life changes when one is diagnosed and some parts of marriage life must be mourned. Also one of the "best" ways to cause your relationship to fail is to "bother" the chronically ill spouse saying things like "Why don't you do more/work more.? Are you REALLY sick? Please read the article below.<br />

Why do people want to eat things that don't agree with them...or they don't even want to admit or even try to find out what is "stressing" their bodies and making/keeping them ill. They just want to eat what THEY want to eat!<br />
<br />
Part 2 should also be changing the rest of your lifestyle...not ONLY what you eat....<br />

Another person helped by changing their diet. Elimination Diet from Mark Hyman MD. Why not give it a try? Read any of Mark Hyman's books for more info. Free if you get them at your local library (and they even come on CD so you can listen in bed/in the car etc)<br />

Chronic stress can create chronic disease.<br />
<br />
Happiness can create health. Your immune system works better. Your brain and your body work in harmony and everything is right with the world. Give me a second here and just indulge this thought. I had a fiancé years ago that wouldn't let things get him down. He "practiced" being happy no matter what the situation was. It's easier to be happy when you had a little tiff with a loved one than if you got the news that you have cancer. But YES in BOTH situations you can practice being happy. It is a learned art. Now, if you have someone in your life that chronically makes you feel bad DUMP THEM!<br />
<br />
I am a dog trainer and I can tell you that if you pretend to be confident (body language/breathing etc) even if you are scared of a dog they will respond to you as you are the leader.<br />
<br />
You can learn to have the body language and "pretend" to be happy and you will actually BECOME happier.<br />
<br />
Watch comedies, watch comedians, hang with folks in your life that make you smile/laugh. Read joke books. Do exercise you REALLY like. Do hobbies/activities that you really like. Breathe. <br />
