feedback on the diet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, thank you for taking time to compile all of this info. I have been researching in various sources on natural healing, and have come across a lot of what you are presenting.
I have become so disillusioned with the Western Medicine our doctors practice...It is really just emergency treatment for a population with severe lifestyle and diet problems. When I go to a dermatologist and try to engage them in conversations about diet, I get shut up and prescribed topicals and antibiotics. I am a biologist, and am insulted by this false "easy answer" on antibiotics, and I think the ebook does a great job presenting these issues and solutions simply.
On the milk issue: there is calcium in milk, as we know, but it is not nearly as bioavailable to us as those in plant sources. If you research the sources of where the milk=calcium information comes from, it is funded by the meat and dairy industry, and just an advirtising ploy. Interesting. To absorb the form of calcium in dairy, there are medications designed to do that, but why not just eat calcium sources our body can use? On Soy milk, I switched to various alternatives such as multigrain, almond, hazelnut, etc. Avoid rice milk, as it is converted to sugar way to fast (high glycemic index), and sugar is another problem addresed in this e-book diet.

This is a strong endorsement for the information presented in this e-book. Not only do these guidelines help the skin, mood and energy levels can be vastly improved. If this type of information is new to you (I'm assuming you've read the e-book!), I strongly suggest researching more in books like "Healthy Healing," "Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine," and many other well-researched books of the like. The ebook is a great way to start.

I might add, on a personal note, I live in Santa Cruz, CA, where there are great health food stores, lots of people aware of these dietary considerations, and resteraunts that cater to it. The more I research these issues, I feel more and more isolated from the way our popular culture tells us we should eat. It is extremely difficult to find stuff I want to be putting into my body at the Grocery Stores, and that is a little scary to me. But being lazy or careless with a "convenient" diet that is basically poisonous in a lot of ways seems crazy. It's not worth it. And it goes way beyond clear skin!
