"Its just a flesh wound!" Gnarly. Hate to hear that. Hospitals suck. Happy recovery!

Man, the believers sure are annoying and can't keep shit to themselves huh? If this thread were by an atheist making the claim about believers, we would be reading "stop talking about religion..."

Dunno, but if you want to read a mini novel by my favorite x-vegan, Denise Minger, read this: http://rawfoodsos.com/2011/09/22/forks-over-knives-is-the-science-legit… Yeah she cites studies too, but her specialty is taking studies apart and picking out the bullshit. This is what she is famous for, besides being a hottie...

I think I was pretty clear a few pages back. I had UC and it was gone when the colon was removed in 1991, 22 years ago. My opinion about my case is that it was definately wheat/gluten triggered. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and it is probably no worse than what medical science thinks, or a guess...

I sense a WTF, Teef is crazy... Remember ulcers? They were kicking medicines ass until 1982, when someone figured out they were caused by infection, not stress as previously believed. Up until then , medicine said exactly what it is saying about Crohn's and UC, its genetic, it's stress, its auto immunity, we don't know. http://www.news-medical.net/health/Peptic-Ulcer-History.aspx When they do figure...

It could very well be that China's new T2 diabetes problem is caused by more people eating processed foods, "Western style." Since the Western "experts" are still puzzled about what caused our epidemic, what does that say about their credibility?

It may be that medical science will never prove a link between gluten and Crohn's or UC, because that is not what they are looking for. I asked my doc back in the day where the UC came from, and he said "We don't know. The body attacks itself." Gluten is not a natural food, at least not in quantities...

On the Forks Over Knives movie, my approach would be to not watch it. Waste of time. The China Study, which is propped up next to the food bar at the local Whole Foods, is de-bunked as a fraud. Besides, China now has the worlds highest rate of T2 diabetes. This is a good question to ask Denise Minger, a...

My nephew is in the Dale County Sherriff's dept SWAT team, they worked his ass off. Glad it's over. I went to Jr college right down the road from that standoff. The guy had OD'd on " government and everyone else out to get me" gun mentality.

I'm not sure what you mean about getting lost in translation. The doc that ordered it was very clear, don't stop it, you must taper off. Then when the surgeon said to stop it at discharge, I asked about tapering off. He said there is no colon, so no need for meds. I left with that advice and the motivation...

One more and I'm just going to stay on the one in non-moto.. It's not so bad. They did the complete colon removal and I can still eat anything I did before. I need to qualify that because some of the things I ate before made me sick, like wheat. I was still having wheat for years after surgery and...

I'll pass. My take on your participation in this thread is you and some others have a weird personal issue with me knowing something you didn't. You will be here until 2015 disrupting it, just to keep me from passing the info along. My advice is relax and stop trying so hard. I'm out of this one. Paleo has moved...

or George Carlin...

"...GOD and bible passages, images of a family praying and a fella praying in a church pew, knows how rural America thinks..." Or doesn't think. People showing off their faith or sucking up to others that have it just makes them look dumb.

A strawman is when you answer something that was not said. No one said that red tape is flawless. The point is simply that you can not expect a one-pager to remain a one-pager once you go about executing the requirements. This applies to organizations inside and outside of government. If I see this in the private industry, do I...

The bottom graphic in the top post is ignorant. The Consitution is "high level requirements." They are supposed to be short and sweet. How to actually execute the requirements is always a paperwork pile. The happens outside of government as much as in. It's part of what I do right now. You have to read one-liners and break it down...

It's probably obvious that both Paleo and non Paleo of all types split over the carbs question. What you believe and who you believe depend on your own experience, and your own experience depends on genes and things that change over time in your body- specifically if you are or are not "carb sensitive," or "insulin resistant." (IR) Same thing...

The Paleo sites still argue over dairy. It's not as high priority as avoiding simple sugar and grains. Milk is a terrible idea if you are even a bit insulin resistant. Yogurt and hard, aged cheese have less carbs, or none, and are popular. Full fat Greek yogurt is the shit, but buy it with sugar mixed in and you...

I did but I don't have it and can't get it again. They treated it with prednisone and eventually the whole colon was removed and replaced with a pouch made from small intestine. It did pretty well for twenty years but messed up in 2011, and it took a surgeon most of the year to fix it. They took me...
