I have been seeing a homeopathic doctor for my RSD and it has changed EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
I haven't been doing it long but have already noticed a considerable difference.
I recently met a women who was full body and through homeopathy she considers herself 40 % in remission .She is off all meds but neurontin.
I decided I had nothing to lose as Western medicine was getting me nowhere so I was going to give it a shot.
My best pain management tools were already of the alternative variety -meditation especially and acupuncture .
He treats me specifically so I can't transfer the treatment but one of the main things about all of us that can be addressed is inflammation.
He believes that nothing in me can be healed if he does not address the underlying issue of inflammation in my body .
That includes an anti inflammation diet .-I think inflammation is a universal theme with this condition.For this reason I will post my dietary guidelines Take from them what you will
Believe in it or not.
They were part of my 4 hour initial treatment .Now how many western docs do that?
If these can help someone- anyone- you - use them - then pass them around- spread the love - isn't that what this is all about???
obviously you cannot follow them all to a T -or can you
??
I am taking this all very seriously as I want to get well !
These cost me big

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET
EAT ONLY THE FOLLOWING ORGANICALLY GROWN FOODS
Steamed vegetables:
• The primary reason for using steamed vegetables is that steaming improves the utilization or the availability of the food substances and it reduces the irritating residue in the gut, allowing it to restore itself.
• Eat a variety of any and all vegetables that you tolerate.
• Do not use aluminum cookware or a microwave.
Grains:
• Eat one to two cups of cooked grains per day of those you tolerate.
• Allowed grains are: millet, basmati or brown rice, quinoa, and amaranth.
• Other grain foods that may be eaten are rice crisps and wasa crackers
Fish:
• Deep sea fish is preferred - no shellfish.
• The fish should be poached, baked, steamed, or broiled.
Chicken:
• Eat only white meat and do not eat the skin.
• The chicken should be baked, broiled, or steamed.
Fruit:
• Eat 1 or 2 pieces of practically any fruit except citrus.
Sweeteners:
• Very small amounts of maple syrup, rice syrup, barley syrup and honey may be used.
• Absolutely no sugar, Nutrasweet, or any other sweetener is allowed.
Butter/Oils:
• For butter, mix together 1 pound of butter and 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil (from a new dark jar). Whip at room temperature and store in the refrigerator. Provides the benefits and taste of butter and essential fatty acids.
• Use extra virgin olive oil for all other situations requiring oil.
Herbal teas and good water to drink:
• Drink 8 to 10 glasses of filtered or reverse-osmosis filtered water every day.

• Breads • White flour • Fried food • Peanuts and peanut butter
• Tea • Coffee • Alcohol

This strict a diet is meant for the first 21 days to get a handle on the inflammation - I think I can loosen up a little bit afterwards
or not
I am good.
I have a huge protein shake with cocounut oils and protein and makai and other essential oils and anti oxidants and other calories and good stuff flax seed - pure honeys etc.. I need to gain weight
