And there you are indeed!

What a story, I guess I don't have to explain my awe of the Zone books then...

As you see above, I bought "The Anti-Inflammation Zone", and have since read it twice, and more or less "forced" my wife to read it too. Although I know I can get over-excited, I really think he is onto something, and much of what he writes seems to be confirmed elsewhere.

When you mentioned Dr. Sears in a post, a good friend of mine who had a heart attack a year ago, and with whom I was talking about cholesterol, said that "but it might not have been the cholesterol, it might have been inflammation". That was on the same day, and the reason why I wanted to know more. Shortly thereafter, I found this article from a heart surgeon.

For me it's now no longer just about curing the PN, it's also about living as healthy & long as possible (without becoming a freak). I have been following his diet for 2 months now, and we both feel pretty good with that. It also helps that his recipes are quite tasty, and leave us with no hunger at all.

Since then I lost 15 kg - although I suppose quitting soda & sweets made up the most part - cutting potatoes, rice, pasta etc. back to once a week. That's a compromise with my wife who loves pasta, and weighing 52 kg for 168 cm she hardly needs to lose weight.

I also sourced some good liquid fish-oil (tested by IFOS) from which a teaspoon gives you 3500mg (EPA 2000, DHA 1000, other omega3 500) which is hard to get swallowing capsules. Although the fresh food isn't that expensive (luckily for us), the fish oil is, but I want to try it for at least a year and see where I am then. I also try to follow his exercise and "meditation" routine for good measure.

I might pick up the "Enter The Zone" book to delve more into the biochemistry.

The Qunol isn't available from the UK site (where I source most of my stuff, shipping from the US is touch & go when it comes to pricing), they do however have this version; a bit more expensive, but I'm going to give it a try anyway.
