Last night, whilst making a mushroom-rice-filled supper, I forgot to add the white wine, and so supper was entirely more salty than I needed it to be.
and so I soaked in epsom salt for 45 minutes before going to bed.
and my ear is not so bad off today, and my balance is alright.

a lack of vertigo is so good.


Yesterday I went through one bucket of peppers and got out almost all of the yellow and orange ones and I washed them.
now I need to pick out a recipe and make some pepper sauce.


I've decided to start keeping a food and beverage journal. i just don't know where such a thing will be located just yet. (this can also help me with figuring out which nutrients i may be low on AND how much to increase my eatings so as to healthily gain weight for this winter. - I cannot *stand* being freezing all the time.)

I still have not located coconuts. i still fantasize about them.
perhaps this weekend will be the Weekend of the Coconuts.

the underarm cyst officially went away yesterday or the day before yesterday. these days are running together. i think i can attribute it going away due to the amount of epsom salt I soaked in and the amount of tea tree oil I put on.

tmj. and calcium and magnesium and vitamin-D!

I think that a Vitamin D deficiency can also aid in causing my TMJ to appear.

I'm not *positive* but I'm still suspicious that soy lecithin blocks the absorption of Vitamin-D, even though it's only one part of the Soy bean.

I have eaten and eaten pretty well today. though still inevitably consumed some soy lecithin in my eatings.


i would guess that the more soy you take in, the more vitamin-d that you block the absoprtion of, or something like that... Um, but okay, if you have to have vitamin-d in order for your body to utilize the calcium you consume, then a vitamin-d deficiency can lead to a calcium deficiency... and I know that my TMJ greatly improves from consuming more magnesium, and the more magnesium you take in, well, somehow i have to balance this with calcium, because they work together. i don't really understand exactly how just yet.. or how to balance such a thing!

my tmj has been relatively bad (in comparison to how much it improved when i was trying to increase my magnesium levels) and it either needs my body needs more calcium (to compete with the magnesium) or I need more vitamin-d.

Tonight I will take some cod liver oil which has 100% dv of vit-D.

more on soy.

I am so so so so so suspicious that Soy Lecithin has the same affects that soy has... Even though lecithin is the emulsifier of soy. (?)

There are a few things that they put in everything: Soy Lecithin, Gluten, Casein, and MSG.

This is actually a terrible, terrible source of information about soy.

And this is the article that the above article speaks of.




another question!! does SOY cause arthritis??
there is something that is causing ... arthritis, I think. within myself and within someone else that i know.
but I don't know WHAT it is!

coconuts.

http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3113/2

I will very soon make raw coconut milk.

I need to gain weight for this winter season, and a good friend of mine suggested drinking coconut milk..

Coconut milk is the answer to my lack of calories and lack of fat... My brain needs saturated fat. I learned that recently...

Oh! coconut has copper, magnesium, b-vitamins, manganese...
it has so much.
I am going to find coconuts tomorrow.

fibroid cysts do NOT like MSG.

http://dogtorj.tripod.com/id16.html

I ate...pizza hut pizza, two days in a row. complete with breadsticks.
And after I finished eating it the first night, I felt pain in all of my fibroid cysts that I am aware of... and then an underarm fibroid cyst appeared.

Tonight I'm going to soak in Epsom salt..in hopes of it getting rid of the cyst under my arm.

But that link may tell the most useful information on all of this insane stuff..

It occured to me yesterday that I am attempting to do something that is quite impossible. - I am trying to avoid gluten, casein, soy, and MSG (and other exciotoxins). MSG is really the main thing I'm trying to avoid, and on Monday I hope to be able to buy some MSG-free basic cooking ingredients. i think they sell such things at Whole Foods.

*laughs insanely* (meniere's disease and msg: proof)

Oh, this is so good. I am really onto something here. And it is exciting.

In the ear that I have been diagnosed as having Meniere's Disease in, sometimes... and sometimes more often than not, I have these cysts that appear in the..pathway to my ear. do they call that a canal? if the ear has a canal that is leading to the opening of the ear, then yes, that is where I have cysts.
They obstruct my hearing and they hurt and they ONLY appear in my right ear. Not my left. So I believe it is something relating to Meniere's Disease.
Now, we all know that I strongly believe that my Meniere's Disease was caused solely by MonoSodium glutamate, since I was mostly just consuming products that consisted mostly of MSG (Gatorade was my main food source during this time.)... Well, I got the idea to look up and see if MSG causes cysts.
I don't really know if it does, but I came upon "why does MSG cause cancer" (which tells how to prevent the msg from turning into cancer..something about citric acid, i think)... and then, I came across this which says that certain organs have "glutamate receptors"... THEN I googled 'which organs have glutamate receptors' and GUESS WHICH ORGAN the results displayed!!! no, no... guess!!
The Vestibular organ!

vestibular organ
n.
The structure composed of the utricle, saccule, and the three semicircular ducts of the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear.

The effect of monosodium glutamate on your health
-- this is good, i think.

I remember reading this link a long time ago, when I was first beginning to do research about nutrition and msg and stuff: http://cancertutor.com/Other02/Menieres_Disease.html. It gives a good list of things that cause meniere's disease symptoms and also a lot of the hidden names for MSG. It's a proposed natural treatment for Meniere's Disease.
