Hi Dr. Mike. Your blog is great! You have talent to make very difficult things understandable . Only true scientist can do it.

(apology for my English).

Hi Natalie–

MRE

What is healthier.
Vegenaise with Expeler pressed canola oil$4
or
Vegenaise with Organic Soybean oil(Expeler pressed also -I think?)$5
Your book/old version i believe would say buy the canola as is much better than Soy, except the book also favors organic greatly????
I wish they made org exp pressed mayo substitute, or do you know someone who does???
I have not been sick for over 2 years since reading your book!
Thanks,
Scott

What is the address of your main Eades website??

Hi Scott–

MRE

I was also trying to find something relating to taking cold showers to stimulate heat shock proteins and found this site, which is not science-based, but does have a lot of anecdotal testimonials of people clearing up skin problems, alleviating anxiety and depression, as well as preventing colds and flu, seemingly from taking cold showers. It was, if nothing else, interesting to read.

Hi Levi

Thanks for the sites.  Interesting.  I need all the info I can get that will make me feel good about jumping in the freezing cold waters of Lake Tahoe.

MRE

I am a pediatrician who was diagnosed with microscopic colitis (MC, a form of inflammatory bowel disease) about 5 years ago. Based upon trial and error, with little help from our profession other than Dr. Ken Fine’s website, I have learned that I can put my MC into long-term remission with diet alone by avoiding certain foods: gluten, yeast, soy, corn, rice, casein, citrus, tomatoes, carrageenan, and chocolate.

You can imagine my surprise and delight upon discovering the research on the paleo diet by you and others! WOW – if only I had read your writings BEFORE I had to figure it all out for myself! LOL! Anyway, your research has validated my own personal experience and made me feel much less like a kook! (My medical school courses taught me nothing about nutrition – beyond RDAs and vitamin excess diseases, of all things!). Also, you have enabled me to “fine-tune” my diet. For example, I find that I feel even better when avoiding legumes too.

Despite eating far more eggs and meat, my recent lipid profile had improved – in fact, it is almost perfect! I have never felt better in my life and have endless energy.

I’ll weigh in on the milk issue. I buy into the thinking that since no other creature on the planet drinks milk after infancy, it doesn’t make sense for humans either. Breast milk is perfect, of course, for babies……but I am not even sure it makes sense to give them cow’s milk, a very different food.

I could go on forever, but at the risk of boring you to tears, I’ll stop. Thanks again for all of your work! I can’t wait to see the latest – on EGF, grains “setting the stage” for milk problems, etc. Please let us know as soon as the latest thinking becomes available.

With gratitude and admiration,

Polly Roberts, M.D.

Hi Dr. Roberts–

Thanks for the kind words about the blog. I hope I will be able to live up to your expectations.

I’m glad to hear that your lipid profile has changed for the better. After your experience you can at least understand my frustration when I encourage people to follow a higher fat, higher protein diet, Paleo diet, and am constantly asked: Won’t my cholesterol go up?

MRE

p.s. thanks the answer ref carb consumption.
I know its a shifting variable but do you work that on roughly 2500k for a man ? so about 60-80gms per day..

Again thanks

Yep, 60-80 gm per day for that kind of caloric intake is about right, although it can be difficult to consume that many calories (unless one is working pretty hard) on a 60 gm low-carb diet.

MRE

Also did you read the Mating Mind ?
I reckon you’d really adore it.
Also Rich Harris’s new book No Two Alike

Hi Simon–

We’ll make sure she gets credit.

I’ll add the recommended books to my ever-growing list.

I would say it is more in the range of 10-15% of calories. Some days it’s a lot less than that, for us anyway.

MRE

Go watch meaningoflife.tv or .com and watch Pinker or esp Maynard-Smith the latter just afore he pegged.
Really is a super site and free.
Which for mendicants such as i is always a good thang.

And Sir and Madam instead of being dawdling flaneurs with the Cordains you could be working on your fasting-opus..thats the essay not the act thereof !

Also please say ‘Ullo’ to LC when next in contact. I used to have contact with he afore i went to Africa (when i in Paree) and afore he became famous and seemingly more busy than afore.

Many thanks for all your posts.. you and the Mrs

Hi Simon–

I’m afraid it was sloth again on my part. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

I’m working on the ‘fasting opus.’ All work and no play…

MRE

Well dipping ones nads as well as the rest of ones self in water that would freeze a brass monkey..well you see my bit about the pathology.

Ran Fiennes is another good example.

P.S.Ida Leverington my deceased Gran would be tickled to know she made it onto cyberspace with one of her fave expressions.
Please give my best to LC when you next have contact.
I used to have pretty reg contact afore i went to Africa

Hi Simon–

Glad to give Ms Leverington some cyberspace immortality. My wife and I have adopted her ‘fave’ expression as one of our own. Many thanks for passing it along.

I’ll pass along your best to LC when I speak with him next.

Hi Kathy–

Wheat, rice, corn and milk would be my last choices if I had IBS. There is some evidence that a low-carb diet works well to reduced the symptoms of IBS; I would give a whole food, low-carb diet a try.
