This has been my diet for the last month and a half: Lettuce Cilantro Beef Chicken Collard greens Apple cider vinegar Coconut oil Olive oil A ton of salt. REALLY boring. But everything else (so it seemed) was giving me arthritis, skin issues, itchy skin, and depression. As you know, I cut out fish in …

I had someone contact me asking me why I thought soy was bad, or if soy was always bad, or something like that. She was Asian so soy is naturally a big part of her diet (also it’s tasty). Again, these are my opinions from reading and testing things out on my own body, I …

They’re NOTHING like they used to be, but they’re still not fun. I’m pretty arthritic in the morning (I can’t really use my hands …
Type III hypersensitivity reactions are what I suffer from. The probable cause of alllll my problems. I’ll explain how it works. Type III hypersensitivity reactions are also known as immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity. I’ve explained antibodies and antigens in this blog post: A patient develops antibodies to a specific protein (for me, and for a ton of …

I had a school assignment where I had to disagree or agree with the hygiene hypothesis. Obviously most people in my class agreed with it. I think it’s a seriously flawed hypothesis. The assignment is shown below (and my response) Read these two articles about the hygiene hypothesis. Form an opinion (250 words max. Please …
