I've been using either olive oil or coconut oil to condition my hair for quite some time now. My scalp used to get really dry so I started putting one of those two oils in my hair for about 15-20 minutes before taking a shower, and then washing it out with shampoo. I think it keeps the oils from my ...

Wow that's awesome! I noticed the same thing when I used to cheat and have a non-wai meal. I absolutely could not drink enough water afterwords. It was so odd, but I guess that's what it was if you experienced the same thing. I'm not even tempted to cheat any longer since I always remember how awful...

I don't know if this would help any, but it has helped me alleviate some minor back pain I would have after long walks: http://anthropik.com/2007/06/learning-to-walk/ Once you try this, even for a little bit, and then go back to the 'normal' heel-strike walking, you'll notice a huge difference. It's...

I don't think that long term memorization needs to be emphasized at all, or for that matter any type of memorization. What's most important in the long run is being able to think for one's self and to use basic logical processes to solve problems. The Wai diet does both. First, it rejects what is co...

Help finding egg yokes!
I have run into a bit of a problem with finding good raw egg yokes. I used to get my eggs from a guy who raised his own hens in his back yard. The hens were fed fresh organic greens (not grains) and the eggs were always super fresh (layed within the last few days.) It was perfect... But now this guy...

Mouse Experiments
As it turns out, I work in a decent sized medical research center which, among many other things, does quite a bit of mouse and rat imaging for medical purposes. I know that certain mouse experiments are in the works by some members of the forums to test the published hypothesis on osteoporosis bein...

I can't stand swimming in chlorinated water. It seems like the smell takes a few days to get out, plus it dries my skin out. Chlorine seems to be the only thing that can defeat the wonderful moistness that the Wai diet has brought to my skin. Not even riding my bike to work every day in the winter's...

My gradual transition to the diet and fantastic results
I've been lurking around the boards for a while so I figured that I should tell my own experience with the diet, it's just taken me a little while to write it up. Sorry if it's kind of long, but I think the details might be valuable. I found the diet about 5 years ago when I was dealing with acne. I...

I emailed this to Wai already, but there is actually a paper proposing that the reason settled, agricultural "civilization" started was due to the effects of opioid peptides in grains. http://membres.lycos.fr/xbeluga/originsofagriculture.html It proposes that the calming effects of the opioid peptid...

I have the unfortunate combination of very sensitive skin and thick facial hair so shaving has always been a huge problem for me. It always left my skin reddened and with a burning sensation and I also was prone to razor bumps. I used to utterly dread having to shave and would only do so about once ...
