Is there any arthritis medicine out there that wouldn't be hard on the kidneys??

Tasha: I have heard of not mixing starch and meat at a single meal. However, one CAN combine meat with veggies (non-starchy) or fruit to get the calories needed.

For people taking any kind of Arthritis Medicine, Please be advised of the side affects before using. I was taking Vioxx and now having kidney problems with elevated BUN and Creatine. Kidney Specialist took me off of Vioxx right away said it will do damage to kidneys. It also was causing swelling to my legs and ankles. But just another problem to this wonderful 'D' we have.

Hi all. Has anyone had any experience with doing the Hay diet, that is not mixing both protein and starch foods in one meal? I have found it a bit hard to follow because this way you can't get as much calories per day. Any advice?

ALL CAPS: THIS IS NO PLACE FOR YOUR STUPID OPINIONS! WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH DIABETES? You don't rule this board. At least the cat eater was talking about food, and not world killings/hate & war...in a matter of speaking. Faith...both disorders are Endocrine...sometimes adrenals are affected also.

I've been on Synthroid for several years now. One thing to remember, diabeties and problems with your thyroid is very common. They are both glandour (sp) problems. Sometimes I have thought doctors will too quickly connect any problems we get to the fact we are diabetics, but in some cases they are connected. Just another wonderful result of being a "D"! NOT!!!

Annie: Synthroid will help you. Hopefully your doctor will start you out slowly. I took the smallest dosage for a couple of months and then more blood tests were done before my doctor increased the dosage. I now feel better overall. Like my other drugs, I have to remember to take it daily. One thing about Synthroid -- you need to take it on an empty stomach or 2 - 3 hours AFTER eating. I hope it helps you.

The clue: Definitions of adipose, bovine, and stolid are amended to attack anyone who posts a real post. As for eating rodents and cats, it IS done in some parts of the world, although not here. It is funny that no one took issue with my post re buffalo meat-just an attack, that is all! When Man is an omnivore, it is looney to insist that he be completely herbivorous. Yeah, I said it, "LOONEY"! Vegetarianism in its extreme forms is based on pseudo science. There are, fortunately, vegetarians who do eat eggs, drink milk, eat fish and even poultry. Little problem there!

From another site: "Hey toothpick (s), eat some red meat, train like an animal, and do not post a pic until you have gained 20 more lbs," Any takers here for that challenge?

On Thu Aug 1 23:24:57 2002 Squats () said:
JUST what is this? A little physiology here. Bovines and other herbivorous animals can synthesize all the amino acids needed by them. We cannot! Therefore, loading up on carbs and fats only from a vegan diet will cause loss of lean mass and strength. It will also cause an UNHEALTHY increase in bodyfat percentage. Ask any competent sports nutritionist. For the record, my present bodyfat is much too high. I need to get down to the 12-15% range. Of course, the attackers will not address what I bring up, because they DO not know! I simply post objective facts. Better to do this than lie.

To 15:46:20 -- thanks for passing along your experience with Synthroid. I'm about to start on it, and it's all new to me, so I appreciate any comments from those who have some experience with it. I realize that experiences may vary greatly, but it's helpful to know that, too. I appreciate your response.

I just ate my cat, does that count as animal protein?

On Thu Aug 1 11:08:13 2002 Squats () said:
It is the usual name-calling with no respoonse to to the info that was posted. To repeat, animal proteins are necessary to preserve or build lean body mass, either from meat, milk, eggs or supplements. Herb, re BMI, there is too often a failure to distinguish between LEAN body mass and ADIPOSE body mass.

Popcorn Can Do WHAT? Eating lots of popcorn, along with other whole grain foods such as breads, cereals, brown rice, and slow-cooking oatmeal, may prevent Type 2 diabetes. That's right, folks. Popcorn is a health food! New research from Tufts University in Boston concludes that whole grain foods help protect against diabetes by improving our sensitivity to the hormone insulin. Here's how popcorn can keep you healthy, according to WebMD: Type 2 diabetes, which was once called adult-onset diabetes, is usually caused by the body's failure to efficiently use the insulin it produces to break down sugar in our diet. That sugar is glucose. Glucose can build up in the blood and the pancreas. The pancreas produces insulin, and if there is too much glucose in the body, the pancreas goes into overdrive trying to produce enough insulin. High blood insulin levels, along with obesity and high cholesterol levels, are all risk factors for diabetes. What the Tufts University researchers discovered in their study that involved nearly 3,000 participants is that people who eat the most servings of whole grain foods also have lower insulin levels, lower body weight as measured through the Body Mass Index, and lower cholesterol levels. But there's a mystery. They don't know WHY. "We aren't really certain why whole grains affect insulin levels, but we suspect that there may be more than one reason," lead researcher Paul F. Jacques told WebMD. "Whole grain foods are high in fiber and magnesium, and people who eat these foods may have generally healthier lifestyles." And if preventing diabetes isn't enough reason for you to cook up some popcorn, get this: Eating whole grain foods has also been shown to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Just remember, it has to be whole grain foods--not foods made from white flour or refined grains. The study was published in the August issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. --Cathryn Conroy News Search Stories Photos Popcorn Can Do WHAT?

Not being a subscriber to this journal, I could only access the abstract. I suspect nothing was said about animal products, just increased intake of whole grains! It is a given that meat and dairy products should be low fat. If meat must be dropped, there is always protein powder!

Question for 18:01"54, Whole grains are more easily handled than white flours, so they will be helpful in preventing type 2. I will have to check the research. However, there remains the issue of 1. Preserving lean bodymass, which can provide protection from obesity and 2. Where can you get sufficient amino acids from a plant diet without supplementation? Let's stop the emotionalism and deal with the case AGAINST vegan vegetarianism! Not one of you has addressed any points I have brought up. A debate can help people think and learn. Mane calling doesn't.
