Def agree with you guys..hair doesn't grow faster. Did an interview with a trichologist about it. Told me it's the biggest myth on the market. Said the hair looks fuller when shorter, and cutting split ends is what gives it that effect.

Cool. I though the only thing affecting hair growth rate was a blockage of the sebaceous glands (ie not washing your hair, oil builds up, hair falls out) and a lack of omegas/amino acids whereby the body decides hair is not essential and puts it into 'resting' phase, during which time the hair falls out/pulls out by the roots.

Thanks for the links karennd. I just don't quite believe in kinesiology testing. I've so many so called alternative (ie non mainstream) treatments, all I've done is empty my bank account. I spent a couple of thousand on that bio feedback, boy did they see my coming. Since that particular one, I research and research and research. I'm a big believer that the most effective aspect of these treatme

How does cutting hair affect the root where the hair grows from? I thought that was a myth. My hair grows at exactly the same rate whether I cut it or not.

Sorry, my internet was down for over a day so I just managed to log on now.

Thanks for the link. I was a little confused when I saw the site, but I clicked on the link you told me to and everything was illuminated :-)
I thought it was very interesting. My mom's been telling me this stuff since I was a kid (when the rash first showed up - back then we thought I was allergic to ke

minus,
why are lentils and garbanzos supposed to be bad for you? I try to eat a little every day..even on the 8/1/1. I feel that's what partly stopped my hair loss (that and a couple of olives a day..)

That;s really encouraging suzie! My oily skin and rash went away the moment I stopped eating fish, eggs and dairy and nuts (allergic to all!). I was still eating the "m" word and using quite a bit of oil, but my rash went away and my skin was perfect.
Oddly, the 3rd day on 8/1/1 I developed the rash and oiliness again. It didn't start when I went 70% raw or vegan. I don't think it's

thanks for the reply. I guess I just wish I could figure out the connection between the rash and the oiliness then. They seem to occur together.
unfortunately I can't take bc's. severe mood swings and migraines. have to rely on a clever little machine that measures my hormones and gives me a green or red light. also bc never actually helped the oiliness or rash in the past. I'm afraid it's lo

Suddenly you could power an oil well from my facial secretions..
I've had it a few times before, I mainly notice it when I eat something I'm allergic to (I was allergic to fish which I obviously don't eat anymore), my skin just turns into an oil slick and my hair suddenly could use a wash every few hours. My doc said it happens sometimes, the physical stress of allergy can cause excess sebum p

I was feeling super week, so I re-added a wee bit of cooked food back into my diet (I'm on 8/1/1). I think I went all out too quickly..now I feel pretty great! I miss the sleepiness though..I was enjoying falling asleep the minute my head hit the pillow. I'm starting exercise this week again. Yoga, kung fu, not cardio, not up for that yet.

Mislu, I know you mean about the up and down side. I too am greatly enjoying similar ups, but the downs are getting to me a little. I'm glad you mentioned the 'disconnected' feeling, thought I was the only one..I kind of feel like all I want to do is go live in a garden where I can bask in the sun and eat fruit that have fallen from the trees (like I used to in my garden growing up).

Well a couple of things come to mind. Yes, it's sad that people still need research to understand this, but hardly surprising given the world-wide plague of obesity and diabetes we are experiencing.
And I completely agree with Bryan's statement, children in this day and age would be consuming 'unhealthy' starches loaded in fat.
Ultimately, studies are subjective, and often have interested

Starchy diet 'may damage liver'
A diet rich in potatoes, white bread and white rice may be contributing to a "silent epidemic" of a dangerous liver condition.
"High-glycaemic" foods - rapidly digested by the body - could be causing "fatty liver", increasing the risk of serious illness.
Boston-based researchers, writing in the journal Obesity, found mice fed s

Very good points. It's great to have a resource like this site where we can benefit from the experience of people who have been doing this for years..there's nothing quite like first hand experience :-)

I'm on my third day of 8/1/1 and though I feel that the low fat approach fits me, I do however wish the book cited more sources instead of simply relying "..studies show/studies conducted..".
The first part of the book does for the most part cite sources and studies.
My fear is that 5-10 years from now, this way of eating will be shown to be misguided in its conclusions, much as l

Hi everyone,
I travel (a lot) for work and can't always find enough fresh fruit and veg (I know, weird in this day and age), and can't find wheatgrass powder (I would rather fresh but I can't grow it in my offices abroad or travel with the juicer).
Someone over here (beirut) recommended Green Barley powder (hand ground ie at low temp supposedly). I know it's not ideal, but am I likely to g

Thank you very much Bryan. I was actually on Dr Graham's site today (which I found from a reply you gave someone) and realised his 80/10/10 is definitely suited to me. I think juicing is not for me..and the 'energy soup' mixes and unintentionally high fat diet I've been on isn't working for me. I think just fruits and veg are my thing.
I have been using a nutri calculator which has been worr

Horrible horrible experiences with about 20 different BCs. I now use Persona (endorsed by the pope no less! ;-)
It's a little machine that tells you when you can have sex w/o any chance of preg, when you could possibly get preg (so you can decided whether or not to take the chance, or use other barrier/pull out methods), and when you are ovulating.
Basically it works like the ovulation pred
