Mel 9/7/2012 9:47:59 AM | Welcome everyone. As we move forward with teleconference calls, we will be incorporating the subjects that are most requested by you. Therefore, we are spending more time on the subject of diet as well as taking suggestions from those who are well and getting well. Our next call is dedicated to a healthier diet, without which we have come to learn that total recovery is not possible. We have created a special diet section which can be found in the FAQ's. In this weekend's call, you will have a rare opportunity to hear from four Morgellons sufferers who are at different stages in the healing process. Every day or so up until the conference call itself, we will be introducing one of them through this thread as well as their segment in the call. We start today with "Breakfast with Bill": BREAKFAST WITH BILL My name is Bill and I live in North Carolina. I have had Morgellons for one year and I was fortunate in that I caught it early and extremely fortunate that I found Mel's web site. At this point on my road to recovery, I believe I am 90% cured. When I first went on the protocol and had to deal with the limited diet it was tough on me, since I could not eat my normal meat and potatoes. I was never accused of being a cook so I was lost in my own kitchen, and I was always said that if I did not have a microwave, I would starve to death. However, I did persevere, and actually got to enjoy learning how to cook and be creative in the process. For a good nourishing breakfast that is simple and quick to make, here is what I would suggest: CEREAL: Rolled Oats from *Trader Joes Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Wheat Free, and no preservatives put in micro for two minutes and it is ready to eat. I add a bit sea salt, cayenne pepper, and two tablespoons of coconut oil. *Whole Foods has similar products like their Rice and Shine, which is organic brown rice grits, and Gluten Free EGGS: cage free or organic. I use to fry two eggs but now I just crack open a couple of eggs in a glass, micro for 40-50 seconds to get the poached egg taste and then mix them in with the oat cereal. If I am in a hurry, I will just mix in two raw eggs. TOAST: 2 slices of Trader Joes brown rice bread, buttered and topped with cinnamon. Some of the better stores will also have this bread, even though I know that Whole Foods does not carry rice bread, at least the stores in my area. BEVERAGE: one glass of plain coconut or almond milk. I know they have a vanilla flavor, but with this choice you also have to deal with the addition of sugar. VARIATION: I may add flex seed to the cereal, or blueberries. I would also have a banana or orange, but because of the sugar content I have to hold off on those for awhile. END RESULT: Simple, quick, good protein and the oat cereal with fiber will fill you up. I hope you will all be able to attend. Once again, the call is Sunday, September 16th at 8:30 EST (7:30 CST, 6:30 MST and 5:30 PST). Dial 1-218-862-1300 and input the conference code 664059. I look forward to seeing you there! God Bless; Never, Never give up Hope! Mel PS - You will hear the individuals discuss the recipes and field your questions in the conference call itself (which will be added to the conference call archives). After each recipe is posted, it will also be added to the diet section of the FAQ page. |

mel 9/14/2012 10:13:20 AM | Hello All, Today's entry is from Peter (How Lucky Can You Get): Hello My name is Peter. I am a semi retired School teacher. I now work part time as a Social Worker at a retirement community for Frail Elderly and the Disabled. I am into my 4th month on the protocol and I can say that I am probably about 50% cured. I got morgellons in Jan. of 2012 after being bitten by a bird mite. With 14 open lesions on my forearms that have now all closed and healed, I am early into the 2nd third of my detox and am feeling much restored! Since my income is limited, my diet consists of alkalizing foods that I try to include that are cost effective. My diet contribution will include a typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner using those foods. Where possible, I will include the cost and locations I use to obtain them. TYPICAL BREAKFAST 1. ONE HALF AVOCADO... 2. ONE HALF LEMON WEDGE... 3. ONE OR TWO HARD BOILED EGGS... 4. RAW ALMONDS... 5. ONE THIRD CUP BUCKWEAT, MILLET, AND AMARANTH WITH FLAX SEED CEREAL WITH COCONUT MILK ITEMS WITH COSTS: 1) AVOCADOS AT WAL MART....68 CENTS EACH 2) ORGANIC EGGS AT WAL MART...$3.08/DOZEN 3) ALMONDS AT RALEYS...$3.99 A POND WHEN ON SALE 4) CEREAL AT RALEYS... $2.50/BOX (10 SERVINGS PER BOX ) IN ORGANIC AISLE 5) LEMONS AT WALL MART...42 CENTS EACH 6) COCONUT CONCENTRATE (GOLDEN STAR) AT WAL MART...$1.48 PER CAN WILL ALMOST FILL A PITCHER...I ADD DISTILLED WATER AND CINNAMON. TYPICAL LUNCH 1. 6 TO 8 MEDIUM SIZE SHRIMP... 2. THREE OUNCES QUINOA PALENTA.... 3. SMALL SALAD OF ESSENTIAL GREENS... 3. ONE HALF LEMON WEDGE... 4. ONE HALF AVOCADO...5. ALMONDS...6. COCONUT MILK ITEMS WITH COSTS: 1) QUINOA PALENTA AT RALEYS...$3.59 PRECOOKED IN ORGANIC AISLE (WILL PROVIDE ABOUT FOUR SERVINGS) SLICE AND MICROWAVE FOR ONE MINUTE AND ADD A LITTLE SALT. 2. ORGANIC SPRING MIX (GREENS) AT WAL MART...$2.48 FORR A PRE WASHED BIN (WILL PROVIDE FOUR SERVINGS.) TYPICAL DINNER 1. 4 OUNCES RANGE FED BROILED ORGANIC HAMBURGER...$2.29 PER POUND WHEN ON SALE AT RALEYS. (SEASON WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL) OR 1 RANGE FED BROILED CHICKEN THIGH....PRICE VARIES AT RALEYS....ABOUT $4.25 ( 4 TO A PACKAGE) RED ONION WEDGE... TWO LARGE RADISHES...SLICE OF RED OR GREEN PEPPER (ALTERNATE CUCUMBER OR GREEN SQUASH)...ONE HALF AVOCADO..ONE HALF LEMON WEDGE...THREE OUNCES BROWN RICE... COCONUT MILK. That's it. I will vary vegetables with spaghetti or butter squash that I wait to get on sale at WALMART. I will also cheat(sugar) with an occasional banana or nectarine. For snacks when I need to, I will eat sunflower or pumpkin seeds. This diet does not require much cooking (which I don't like to do) and, for me, has kept me satiated and feeling well nourished. I have not varied much from it in 60 days now and together with the supplements seems to be working well for me. However, I believe it is best to find the foods that work best for each of you, as we all have different metabolic types. I suggest you read John's article entitled "Diet; Acid versus Alkaline" from the important articles section of this site. STRENGTH and LOVE and May GOD BLESS!
