Sorry, I thought she was eating 6.5 cups, not 6 x 0.5 cups = 3 cups per day. Thanks for clarifying.

Is heavy metals something you need to address before vitamin A can be detoxed ?

When you start a low toxin lifestyle, including avoiding coffee, chocolate, spices and start to drink clean water and take minerals, your body will start to flush out heavy metals alongside the vitamin A.

Due to this, it is essential to address things like heavy metal contamination in the environment (workplace for example) or mercury fillings in the teeth before starting the journey.

But you don't need to take extra things to chelate metals.

Have you experimented with Cholestyramine at all? I found it got rid of many cholestasis symptoms I had (itching etc), and it can show you what bile binding really feels like.

Did you get pure powder from a compounding pharmacy? Apparently the product available usually contains a lot of additives.

Just a tip for those who are eating minced or ground beef. I think it is much better if we mince it ourselves just before cooking with an small electrical appliance. It is then fresh. I freeze chunks of beef which I defrost and use. Some of that meal, often with kidney beans mushrooms and spring onions I refreeze when cooked.

I have not.

Agreed. You should never let someone else grind your meat. Always do it yourself.

Doing low A, but not taking niacin. The days I skip a banana i get twitching on the sole of my feet. Does this indicate a serious potassium deficiency?

My opinion is probably not. I see the misconception about bananas being a good source of potassium all the time when they're actually pretty terrible compared to white potatoes, coconut water as low vitamin A sources.

Other sources that are relatively high in potassium, but not really part of the low toxin diet would be orange juice, avocados and tomatoes.

Bananas are high in water content so they don’t require cooking like potatoes.

2 bananas per day might weigh 400g so that can give you a third of your daily requirement.

Coconut water is a good idea. 2 cups gives you a quarter of your daily requirement.

I did seem to lose a bit of potassium by giving up OJ.

A handful of sultanas might provide some lazy potassium.

HI
My mom essentially did chemo on herself with tons of carrot juice and she did beat cancer, but her health is still quite terrible and even more so after all the juicing. Her skin is yellow, she has blood sugar and weight issues, and her bones are more or less destroyed.
why dont you have her take some b12 and thyroid, itll help, also @burtlancast mentioned that one can use carrot juice that has been put into liposomes so that it goes through the circulation through lymph instead.

From Dr. Manners cancer Q and A:

Q - What do you do if you find that it is inadequate?

Dr. M - We use two things, vitamin A and thymus gland. Vitamin A is known to stimulate the production of lymphocyte~ and white blood cells in general. We must, however, use exceptionally large doses of vitamin A. The Phvsician will sometimes prescribe a dose of 1,000,000 ·international unit~ per day.

Q - But I thought that large doses of Vitamin A could be toxic to the body. Isn't this true?

Dr. M - Of course it's true. Vitamin A is an oil soluble vitamin and consequently is stored in the13aliver. It can do a great deal of damage to the liver and lead to other toxic effects as well. In our therapy, however, we do not use the same type of vitamin A which you can obtain at a local health food or drugstore. We take advantage of a physiological phenomenon in the body.

Q - What is that?

Dr. M - Foods in the digestive tract usually leave via the blood stream and go directly to the liver. All, that is, excepting emulsified fats and oils. They leave through a branch of the lymphatic system called a lacteal. This lacteal connects directly to the lymphatic system and by so doing it goes past the liver and enters the blood stream in a large vein, the subclavian vein, which drains directly into the heart. What we have done is to emulsify the vitamin A before it is given. In this way we can minimize the toxic effect.

Q - But doesn't this vitamin A in the bloodstream eventually get to the liver?

Dr. M - Sure it does, but it takes a long time. During that time the vitamin A is doing its work of building up the white blood cells. The physician is constantly looking for these signs of vitamin A toxicity, and if they appear, the vitamin A is immediately discontinued. It's another reason why this therapy should only be administered by trained metabolic physicians."

Well done!

You are very disciplined.

Perhaps it was just a matter of getting the program right!

Well, I guess that was my honeymoon period and now I'm back slowly creeping up in weight again. Boo!

It's a bit scary, as after trying to do the right thing with Peating, I had the same issue. I kept telling myself if was temporary and to keep pushing through and just kept gaining and gaining and gaining. I think I'm going to go start a Low Toxin Log of my own so I can post and learn from where I may be doing something incorrectly.

Are you eating 1, 2 or 3 hamburger patties each day?

What are the ingredients in them and how much does each one weigh?

What sort of exercise do you do each day?

I had started to pull away from meat a bit and was eating more beans and rice and/or spelt toast. Still had beef or chicken 10 out of 21 meals per week.

Beans are soaked and pressure cooked. I make a big batch and then reheat as needed. Eaten plain. I love them and was probably eating just too many (big bowls - I have a huge appetite). But it did make morning poop schedule wonderful.

Had switched from white rice to brown rice, Also soaked before cooking.

Tried adding a few slices of (purchased, frozen) sourdough spelt bread. I haven't had bread in *so long.* It was heaven just having a slice of plain toast with plain beans. But I think this might be one of the problems so will drop again <sad whimper>

When I have a beef hamburger, it's a 5 oz frozen raw patty, so cooked, maybe about 4oz? I cut it up and eat with a sprinkle of Jacobsen salt, and nothing else.

I'm going to try the following as my 'default meal' for awhile and repeat this as often as possible until I get things under control again:

- Plain beef hamburger patty (about 4oz) , cut up, Jacobsen salt
- 2 tablespoons of beans + bit of cooking liquid
- 1/2 tsp of psyllium husk, in 4oz water

I supplement with magnesium, potassium, zinc, selenium, molybdenum, small amounts of niacin (working up) and sunfiber.

Despite the recommendations by Garret Smith to avoid coffee, I'm going to keep it. It's a reliable morning tool to help me poop. And I just like it. 1-2 cups/day.

I travel for work 2 days a week and have appointments that often occur at restaurants. So that's where I generally flip over to chicken and low-A vegetables, maybe some rice. I drink 1-2 glasses of red wine per week.

I'm very good about keeping my appointment to ride an indoor exercise bike most days. I do warm up then sprints for about 15 min. Some days go walking outside. Really hate resistance training. Had tried tons of methods and tricks to try to get into it but (to me) it's boring because I can't read / listen to a podcast to distract me (is it weird that I kinda dislike music? I don't mind other people's or in a restaurant / shopping but I never choose to play it myself - seems like a waste of time when I could be listening to a spoken word bit of information).

The psyllium could be irritating your guts and causing inflammation and water retention. I found B2 good for keeping things moving. Egg yolks seem to help too although opinions are divided on them so I might cut them out for a bit, although i did cut out eggs initially and found myself not going as often as "recommended " and now I am. Also occasionally cocoa, which is high copper but I have no idea if I had copper issues. I can always cut it out but we are talking 2 or 3 cups in the past fortnight.

Hi @cfeehan,

Are the hamburger patties 100% beef?

@Peater may be right about water retention.

If you could replace the psyllium with an apple or banana or a dozen sultanas or handful of cherries or 2 plums you could get some good nutrients in there with the fibre!

It’s great that you are doing the 15 minute of cycling. That should get your body warm. Do you do any vacuuming or walking etc the rest of the day? If not then maybe you just don’t need many calories!

Thank you and @Peater for the thoughts. After adding the psyllium today (and bringing down the amount of beans), the skin on my legs feels tight and swollen. I have heavy/edema legs anyway, so not a great feeling. So I'll try your thought about a different fiber source.

One benefit to my house is that it's long, thin layout. So sometimes just walking up and down doing house tasks can yield me 5,000 steps/day.
