any suggestions on what i should be eating??

[stangshelly]

i have been trying to eat healthy and wondered if the "organic" which still has chemicals in it is the right way. would preservatives be causing my rash to flare up? i thought it was from the one med, but to no suprise its flaring up again. it seems to come and go. my fatigue level has been really bad as of late and i hate to go out looking all rashy,bruises,and losing my hair...i find myself becoming more and more of a recluse and hate it. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Am composing the results of the doc appt and will post later. Amazing, it is a BB and the shoes are two-toned.  Where's that website - the Aussie one?

[Forseegood]

okay, howzabout you Florida Man? a nice pic with you out on the links, big ole Big Birtha Driver in your hands? spiffy two-tone golf shoes, it would be truly a vision...

[GoofyDad]

Did you think that was me? Ha ha ha, what a laugh. No no... I just posted that cause I thought it resembled what I might look like if I wasn't me, which of course, I am, though often I feel like I'm not. Plus, I think that's the Eiffel Tower, and well, I hate to admit it, but I've never even been to Canada, let alone had my picture took on any tower.

SFgirl -- we're waiting!

So how did it go at the doctor appointment?? Let's hear the report!

[FlGuy]

You're exactly like I imagined. But, who's the guy with the glasses?

[sfbaygirl]

Cool Goof, you posted the photo here! I checked out the photos over at the aussie site and saw you and your hubby, Tracy. Cool. You are right this is much better than a booze discussion!

Okay, Forsee, we want to see yours. I am so brain fogged, the only pic I can find is at the PJ party in Jamacia. Pretty risque!

[GoofyDad]

Forsee says: Wouldn't it be funny if one of the guys was like, Fabio going incognito? and he posted his Fabio picture?

I'm like Hellloooo? <a href="http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m64/hepcaustralia/goofydad.jpg">Check this out</a>! How much more like <a href="http://www.dmsports-wsmx.com/fabio.jpg">Fabio</a> could a guy get, ferchissakes??? What are ya, like from Hollywood or something??? Sheesh.

Sundie Undies, Huh? Now there's an idea. Go for it Forsee. Better than a good booze debate......

[Forseegood]

hi, know what you mean, you get used to this site being so easy to navigate...firstly, if I'm not mistaken, I think you have to join up which is easy...I might be wrong...up in maybe the left hand coner on top?, you'll see home, punch that and it'll give you a list of the things on the site, then you scroll down till you'll see I think, picture gallery? punch that...if I'm wrong please correct me...Wouldn't it be funny if one of the guys was like, Fabio going incognito? and he posted his Fabio picture? ha ha! I've had too much sun today....

[amirtracy]

If you go down toward the bottom there's a link that says "member photo gallery". promise if you go you'll leave your smiling face!

foresee,
thanks for asking, actually having a decent day today. i'll take 'em where i can get 'em lately! hope you have a great evening. and the next day and the next day...etc...:)

[sfbaygirl]

I just went over to check out the photos etc. I feel pretty dumb, I couln't find them. I think Brian hid it from me. Any suggestions?

I like the way they have the profiles set up, lots of people from here. It would be fun if they all posted pics. I know what you mean Forsee about wondering what people look like.

[Forseegood]

Yeah, what a cute kid, and of course he has his daddy's scintillating wit! betcha you make more poopy jokes than he does, ha ha! Yes, I know at Janis, but they post this little tiny picture and you really can't tell what's going on... This Shane fellow really blows the thing up! ha ha, what's that song, youre so vain, you probably think this song is about you!...What glamour shot? you mean those places where they shoot your picture with your Sunday undies on for your hubby or something? what a riot...thanks for sending us your north winds, it's really, really nice down here...

Tracy: hope youre doing well, you sure sound good! I haven't seen you post much and I was wondering...

[sfbaygirl]

I just got home from the World Trade Center movie. John had a tough time handling it. It was intense.

Okay, okay, I will post a photo, but like I said I am so brain dead, I gotta remember how to do it.

So Goof, if that wasn't you, was it Tele? LOL

[Forseegood]

oh please, oh please, oh please, can't you post the pic at the PJ party???? I betcha it's lovely and fun! Really! No kidding!  

Maybe I can dig up one or two of my old mugshots from the post office, just to add a little intrigue! he he he

[amirtracy]

Risque is what this place needs! look forward to "seeing" you!

[Forseegood]

If I'm mot mistaken, I don't think youre allowed to post your personal picture on this site, but maybe the good people who monitor this site will let you slide cause you didn't know, hopefully...I might be wrong, don't always check rules and regs myself...but nice pictures though! I don't know??? Can Do has hinted that he's the real Fabio, but we can only guess...I mean, didn't he say he dealt in butter and ice cream? tip offs for sure if youre lookin... Jim often talks about the gym?, oh, we can only speculate...

[GoofyDad]

Well ain't that always the risk of a game of 'I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours'? Getting caught out with your britches around your knees. No worries though -- whatever floats your boat. Don't understand the fuss though -- you've already posted your glamour mug at Janis, right?

If you can't tell I'm pretty proud of the kid. Not for his looks ... he's a pretty remarkable fellow. Maybe I'll bore you with stories sometime. A real clown too, if you can believe that ;-)

[amirtracy]

Hi there. Please post your picture! I know you're beautiful! How could you not be? It is nice putting faces to names and people here have come to be such a big part of our lives. Just wanted to say hi.   tracy

[Forseegood]

oh, sodium huh? It's just that there is too much of it out there, and you get soooo much of it, that maybe trying to cut down on really salty foods is a good idea, (high sodium in the diet is drying to the skin too.) But of course the odd pack of popcorn or something won't necessarily kill ya!

Speaking of skin, saw your pic on the Aussie site, what a wonderful duo! Your son is soooo cute! You make a handsome pair...boy, if it were me, I get such vertigo up in places like that, as many times as I've been to NY, I've never been atop the Empire State Building...Yikes, especially if youre on grading and you can see down...getting dizzy just thinking of it, I'm such a whacko!

Anyway, know I'd said I'd post mine if you posted yours, but I'm chickening out, ha ha! naaa, I will I guess...I know how Tracy feels, it's not about looking good or whatever, I know that most are treating and are not going to look their best, it's just that I think it's human nature to want to SEE who you are talking with for so many months! Funny, I'll picture someone with dark hair and they'll have blond, .....it's interesting...I would love to see Dale and his family, cause he talks about them, things like that...Wish more members would post their pics...For some reason I picture Can Do with blond hair...whatever, I'm nutz! Anyway, really nice pic! Have a great sunday...

[Kalio1]

I know it's mind boggling! I am right where you are, just trying to generally head in the right direction too.
Luckily my preferred diet dovetails nicely with the recommendations. Whew! At least I am able to eat what I usually enjoy and havent had to start some gawd awful diet regimen.
I do however read the label and look for salt content now...amazing how much salt is in things you wouldnt think of, like ice cream!

You are lucky being in your locale, the land of the BEST variety and quality of foods in the country. You'd think this area I am in would have great food resources but compared to NoCal it is pitiful! I actually bring supplies back down from Sonoma when I go up there LOL

[GoofyDad]

I'm just trying to generally head in the right direction, and currently salt intake strikes me as the next point worthy of attack. Thanks for the list, I hadn'r seen it.

This paper <a href="http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf/HERBS_color.pdf">reccomends avoiding Milk Thistle</a> but my Doc was OK with it. It also cautions against blue green alga and I take a 'super green' supplement powder with it listed as one of the last ingredients. Oy Vey!

[Forseegood]

Yeah My Own, Whole Foods did start here, those ripoffs! ha ha! (shop there often though)

alkaline stuff...make your blood less acidic...veggies, fruits, (I personally dont eat much dairy, a little bit of cheese now and then, dairy is hard for the body to digest, anything hard to digest aint the best for the ole liver) not that it's as bad as cocaine or anything, ha ha! (gonna stay off the subject of alcohol, sheeeesh! lol...) Lots of Japanese food is very healthy, the stuff that's not sodium heavy...few fans out there I know of...oatmeal is good (I do mine with berries, cinnamon and a little soy milk), have it in the morning with one medium boiled egg....(the best eggs I can find...)

If youre going to eat something junky, (try not to very often) like greasy pizza or fried food, at least eat something along side of it with lots of enzymes to help digest it, a small veggie salad, etc...I try to eat some fish (salmon especially) from waters that are not so polluted...(there was a good point made to really watch the labeling, make sure it is what it says it is..to the extent we all can)

I try to constantly eat veggies (small portions, sometimes, just a carrot) all day, and now that it's summer, there are lots of good fruits are around....(Goof, you watch it buster, ha ha)

Some here know I have a passion for goats (cause it ain't dairy), goat milk and goat cheese once in awhile...I also eat an occasional soy yogurt and soy milk (soy kind of got a bad rap, they are rethinking soy, as long as you don't eat a large amount)

Try to cut down on sweets, they do a number to blood sugar anyway, liver helps regulate blood sugar...and try to cut down on red meat, if you need to eat it, try to get some that's not laden with hormones and god knows what else, this you won't find at Mickey D's....Since the liver has to deal with food all day, it's an onslaught for it, try to make the food liver compatible, not something that's going to make it work overtime...remember....

your liver loves Veggies!!!!! (Course, if youre treating, just try to eat as healthy as possible, whatever you can do, I realize it's a different ballgame if youre taste buds are annhiliated) Good luck to you...

[Kalio1]

You have probably already seen this but here are some foods we are supposed to avoid. Lucky for me I do't eat these things anyway except for aged cheese (parmesan) and I am not giving that up! Did your sodium come up high or something or are you just asking out of curiosity?

FOODS HIGH IN AMMONIA AND SODIUM
Foods High in Ammonia Aged cheeses, Salami, Bacon, Ham, Ground beef, Gelatin
Foods High in Sodium Salt, Garlic salt, onion salt, season salt, Soy sauce, Monosodium glutamate (MSG), Canned soups, Canned vegetables & meats, Cured meats (bacon, sausage, ham, lunchmeats), Processed cheeses, Frozen
meals, Salty snacks (chips, pretzels, popcorn), Pickled foods (sauerkraut,
pickles, olives)

[GoofyDad]

<i>Some here know I have a passion for goats</i>

News to me. Got any pictures to share?

Hey, what's the deal with sodium. I try to limit it, but I guess I eat too much prepared food (veggies from the Chinese buffet at lunch, jarred tomato sauce, a few tortilla chips here and there, veggie buritos, etc.) Does the salt have a direct adverse action on the liver? What would be a reasonable daily sodium allowance?

[Myown]

organic fruit,veg,juice,milk and hormone/antibiotic free meat/chicken eggs is the best way IMO to try to stay healthy. The chemicals,preservatives artifical color and flavoring is what the body does not recognize when it enters your system. Our bodies weren't designed to injest what most people consume on a daily basis.

Whole Foods Supermarket is a great place to shop. They seem to be popping up everywhere. We have quite a few in Jersey, Think they started in California(?)
