11:50:24 AM | Wow...Chrissie...that's an interesting question about the fish.
It IS good for the things you listed...but having that kind of reaction would indicate to me that it's not worth it.
I wonder if taking more of the Omega would have the same benefit as eating fish? Maybe ask John?
In any case, I'm sure living in Scotland you're used to having fish as a part of your diet.
That was true for me as well. I now live further inland, but I grew up close to the coast, and having a "shrimp man" was a part of everyday life. That's a contact with a shrimper who will call you when he has several pounds of fresh caught shrimp for sale. I used to always have several pounds of shrimp in my freezer...but those days are gone. I'm now too scared of the mercury.
Where I live, home made shrimp gumbo with a side scoop of potato salad is a big part of Christmas. I miss it terribly, but...I'd give it up forever to say goodbye to MD.
My daughter is a vegan and has shared several points of evidence of its benefits in her overall health improvement. I've heard the evidence that supports this decision...and I'm glad for my daughter.
However...she doesn't have MD. I'd tried to cut back on the amount of meat I ate for a while...and was really feeling like something was missing...so...I added back organic grass fed ground beef.
The most I eat is a pound a week...spread out over the week, but I do feel better when I eat it.
I've read somewhere that MD robs you of iron on some level...but I don't remember where I read it, or if it's true or not...but if so, it would make sense why eating the meat makes me feel better.
Glad to hear you are doing some things to create peace and harmony in your life while you wait for your next step.
Take good care of yourself!
Love,
Karen
