It's too soon for me to know whether I've completely cured my dry eyes with salt, but every single day I see an ad for the eye drops Restasis on TV: relieves dry eye disease caused by chronic inflammation of the eye by allowing the eyes to make more of their own tears. Yes, but what's causing the chronic inflammation???? First they tell us to cut back on sodium and now they can sell us their dry eye drops /vent
I thought of you, today, kettlebell, when I made the carrot salad. Today, I used olive oil/vinegar dressing for a little change. I skipped the raisins but lots of salt!kettlebell said:Hi Birdie, Lots of salt.
Every time I eat my sugar,protein,fat snack/meal (8 - 10 times a day, the fat is mostly coconut oil) I have 1/4 teaspoon salt (Sometimes more) with every feeding. That is the single thing that has made a MASSIVE difference with my adrenaline, cortisol and stress hormones. I was taking no where near enough and now that I am the difference is so unbelievably amazing I still cant believe it. Peatarian said she needs 3 tablespoons a day to get the desired effects. Im probably not too far off 2. Im so used to it now I literally chuck it into my mouth dry. That might make some throw up mind which is counter productive as our bodies make us throw up by releasing a sudden massive dose of serotonin.
Carrot too, never skip the carrot every day. People forget that not only does it supress endotoxin it also significantly stops serotonin from being reabsorbed back into the blood stream. If that continues to happen, more cortisol, adrenaline and a viscious circle ensues.
Good luck! Its a rollercoaster finding your balance and takes time (Still havent quite found mine yet, especially with the thyroid supplement)

My acne went away with following Peat. I'd gotten it a year earlier for the first time ever on my shoulders and back. Whatever food I was eating in the July 2011 ish time period caused it. I was eating almonds, coconut, tuna, goat cheese, yogurt, eggs, avocado, tortilla chips, salmon, pork chops, sweet potatoes, zucchinis, onion, stilton. Very little fruit. Latte's...
I was taking a lot of supps too: iodine, carnitine, melatonin, NAC, multibifidus... Also some good supps that were probably not the problem since I take them now and have no acne. For example, I was on thyroid, niacinamide, vitamin E, vit A, Super K....
I started phasing into Peatarianism in Oct 2011. It took a few months... quite a few for the acne to clear.
Also, I'm not getting whiteheads often and I was getting those constantly on my face.
Im pleased to see you slept well. Nothing worse than bad sleep! I knock myself out with a shed load of decent ice cream, some salt and often some gelatin. Im out like a lamp after that
Birdie said:So, I've just been listening to an interview and thinking about my situation. It has to be that I'm falling short in some part of the Peat way. So, I'm remembering that I felt better on a certain day back in October, probably. That day I made sugar syrup. While I was making it I kept tasting it. I wasn't eating a lot at a time, but eating it consistently throughout the day. I felt good and had a lot of energy that day. But, the next, when I just put it in my coffee and drank that all day, it didn't seem to work. I ended up not making the syrup again.
I think I do need to get more sugar. At this time of year I have oj and some fruit. Not enough fruit. I'm going to eat more sugar in small amounts throughout the day and see if this improves my energy and clarity.

I did eat more sugar throughout the day and watched the protein too. A much better day. It is 6pm and I feel good. I awakened not feeling good and with a temp of 96.7. That was a stunner. I'd been having morning temps of 98.2 for a while. It's now 98.5.
Birdie said:I did not expect these improvements. I am writing them down here not only to encourage others, but to remind myself of the improvements.
Yes. It all makes sense with the low temps when I awaken during the night. Thanks.peatarian said:You can use it the morning, no problem, birdie!
I did for months and never had any problems.
But the sleeping problems caused by LDN usually mean that you can't fall asleep. (I think it has to do with lower melatonin.) Waking up during the night sound like your blood sugar isn't stable at the moment.
