And recently I added medical cannabis. It helps mostly with sleep and to eat). Stomach myoclonus is another symptom I have. Little is truly known about myoclonus.
Even the science is still a wild guess. It is called a symptom, a precursor to something. The link explains it all.
What I have I done? I stopped eating all processed foods. Everything. I am down to coffee and brown sugar to put in my coffee as my only processed food. And of course, olive oil. I do eat seeds and nuts. Some issues, but they are simply digestive, as myoclonus literally takes over the body, and slows digestion to a crawl. I have been able to narrow down the food products that help, and foods that nearly kill me.
Oils are in the killer category. Especially bean based oils like soya. My diet is now fruits, real vegetables, nothing ever in a can, no condiments, non- processed frozen fruit, and fresh fruit. Lots of salads! I grow my own organically.
Small garden I am slowly moving inside. Grain is also murder. So no grains. Even corn. If it is a grain, I am out.
Seeds are ok. I figured out an olive is a fruit. And all cruciferous veggie are a big out. Or an ambulance ride will follow. Cabbage, kale, goodies like that for those unsure.
And incredibly, I cannot even eat beans, or bean based products. I know, what do I eat??? I manage…Sometimes I get super sick, I can barely walk.
So yes, I am extremely careful with what I eat. The Gallo site looks ok. But the bottle being sold by Weston, is not on the Gallo site.
What gives??? Is it because it is old? Is it because it is packaged elsewhere? It is a Portuguese oil. I just want to know if it is on a bad list, or a good list.
I also cannot eat processed meat, obviously. Also I cannot eat Weston meat that is over the counter. Phosphates. http: //www. PMC3. 27. 87. 47/With myoclonus, phosphates create a temporary arthritic like pain, that can last a few days. In other words, I cannot walk without the risk of falling down. Weston appears to use them in the so called fresh meats.
I can tell, because organic raised meat does not produce the effect. My next question, are phosphates used in the production of olive oil? That should keep ya busy! For now, I will just try the Gallo oil. Zucchini Basil Soup.
I almost need a science lab to eat…In the end, to make it all come together, if an oil is corrupted, I get corrupted body wise, and I plan to find the culprits. When someone has a symptom or disease, the tendency is to look deeper, to find it’s source, or at least it’s best form of relief.
I am sold on how healthy olive oil is, enough science backs that up, I am not sold at all on food processors or giant marketing chains like Weston aka Loblaws aka Valu- Mart and many more store brand names, that all end up being Weston. Wiki is a great resource to find out.
I put Metro, Safeway, Costco, Walmart, all the big chains, in the same boat. Nothing personal against Weston. No political motivation as well. No PETA or anything like that.
I just need to eat! And nice site. : ).
