summary on Henna

http://www.hennaforhair.com/henna/index.html

This talks about hair, but I am wondering about it for skin on other parts of the body.

Hennaed skin

Are henna or the products used in fixing it in the skin harmful if used on an occasional basis? I would like to use natural color henna once in awhile.

cravings

I have posted on the Board re: Candida and the cravings it occasions; I wanted to say how much easier cravings are to handle after being in treatment for Candida while on this diet. In a way, those of us who struggled with Candida or parasite problems understand overwhelming cravings- even for Wai-a...

pine nuts

Some are sold raw/unroasted/in shell in the United States... there was a company awhile back that verified this to me via email.

They sold the nuts in the above form for about USD20,00 per lb.

fat + sugar + candida

When I treated for Candida, I found it was very easy to overestimate energy needs and therefore create blood sugar spikes... Fat and sugar taste delicious together. I had enormous sugar cravings. Put together, I could not begin to control energy intake until I rationally and with tremendous self-con...

processed food

Even without the 'new' problems created by cooking or improperly treating foods, I always consider this: even before a fruit, vegetable, etc., is cooked or processed, was it a good, even ideal food; tempting and delicious? The answer is invariably no.... When I have encountered canned (tinned) fruit...

adulterated foods

Yes, and I think too so many 'foods' are so manipulated that people indeed become very confused.... I was just shopping; I saw all the dried fruit. With all the cane sugar added to it, I thought that probably it hadn't been very ripe when the manufacturer dehydrated it. That's one good way to hide t...

raw crab

You can eat raw crab very easily in China; it is marinated in a sweet-tasting high-content alcohol while under refrigeration for weeks.

It is delicious.

The alcohol is supposed to take care of disinfection. It is called Drunken Crab, of course.

Fruits

Dear RRM (just to finish out this discussion)-- When I look at the bottom part of your list above, it corresponds nearly exactly with what I eat, almost to the proportion.... This part of the list (everything after apple)-- is what I tolerate best: 79.8% raspberries 81.1% strawberries 89.3% dried fi...

ketogenic

I was reading the thread below this (on ketosis), too.. Thank you. It seems clear now. I am asking about this only because my body seemed to be in this mode (of existing on fats mostly) as I came out of an antifungal/antiparasitic regimen whilst following the Wai diet. I don't think I noticed then, ...

USD hundreds; but of course now (and even moreso if you wait a bit), that means just pocket change to everyone else in the world....

Happy_Face's question

Dear happy_face; I was posting just as you were; so it seems I was not responding to your message (it was more to RRM).... I cannot in truth say. It was mostly in the form of honey, refined fructose and glucose, and dilute fresh-pressed grape juice. I must say during this time my energy needs were i...
