I've begun ketogenic (high fat) diet to see if there is any improvement before I decide to go for conventional treatment. The treatment options are- a round of steroids or a 3 month trial of Plaquenil or antibiotics and antifungals prescribed by a lyme dr. I have been living in this body full of neuropathic pain for 9 months now and I need to do something. I have been wanting to try this extreme diet for a while but as a holistic health counselor I do not believe in going on extreme diets. My belief is farm to table food, mostly veg, nuts, seeds, legumes, rice, fruit, bone broths, and small amounts of sea creatures and meats almost as a condiment.
I will be doing a science project on myself and will update you all on the progress. I have nothing to lose. I am not drawn to lots of fats, so this will be strange for me. Also, I eat a lot of fruit and will have to only ear low glycemic fruits in small portions. Low fat vegetarian or vegan diets do not work for me because they throw me into pretty bad hypoglycemia and paleo is too much meat and that doesn't work for me either, so I am pretty curious to see how this works.
