MSG, MIGRAINES AND ME part 3

A year ago in April I quit eating sugar with the only
exception being Stevia which is a natural sugar that
does not spike cravings for sweets.
Since October which is when I found out my enemy is
MSG I have chosen to radically change the way I eat.
I started with a 4 day fast.  (The Miracle of Fasting by Paul G Bragg)
I have continued to fast 24 hours each week since then.
Next I started juicing vegetables.
 (Fresh Vegetable & Fruit Juices by N.W. Walker D. Sc)
Basically this is what I eat.

• raw unsalted nuts
• an occasional egg either fried or scrambled
• fruit
• vegetables-steamed, raw or juiced
• individual spices never a package of mixed flavors
• olive or coconut oil
• brown rice or oatmeal
• I drink a mixture of apple cider vinegar with Stevia
• rice milk
  

A simple list of what I do not eat is

• canned or packaged food
• bread
• condiments
  
• meat (maybe someday but not at this point)
  
• white flour
• sweets
• dairy
  

Toxic Acid Crystals Make Joints Grind
Try this simple test.
Roll your head round and round.  Do you hear a grating sound?
If you do it is deposits of toxic acid crystals that are accumulating on
the uppermost bone of your spine which is the Atlas.
The Atlas is the location in my neck where my migraines start.
When this joint is inflamed or out of alignment I can not function!
Fasting helps dissolve these crystals.  By fasting 1 day a week I will have fasted 52 days in a year.

MSG attacks the thyroid causing hypothyroidism!
The past 3 years my thyroid has slowed to an occasional sputter.
Even though I was taking medication for it I continued to gain weight and I had the energy of a slug.
Since I no longer consume MSG my thyroid has started functioning again and without trying I have lost 25 pounds!  I have high hopes of getting off
the medications in the future.
I can honestly say that I feel as if I am coming alive. 
Pain is receding and energy is flowing through my entire body.

This new way of living restricts me from eating out and
my list looks simple until you try to prepare a typical meal
without MSG.
Yet after having been sick for so many years it is a small trade off
to feel human again.

I have that book by Paul Bragg, too. In fact, I have a lot of books about fasting. I believe in it - theory wise- it's the practical application of it that I have a hard time with. I need my energy!
I have his books on apple cider vinegar, too. Do you? I buy his apple cider vinegar, and also Bragg's Liquid Amino Acids - you might want to try that in your cooking because it is a MSG seasoning replacer. It's very similar to soy sauce but without the msg. And it adds protein to your meals. You can get it at the health food store.
Your menu sounds like what we all should be eating. It's what I strive for, but sometimes I fall off the track. I'm trying to get back on right now.
