Re: DE- (for my mother) any contraindication?
Thanks...I will have a look, and see how much i can inspire her to do. I didn't know that, about the beta cell/diabetes link -- It's disheartening that my mother, who used to be so health-conscious; really a pioneer back in the day in so many ways- is now in this predicament. It would seem like a whole bunch of stuff is at play; "insulin resistance", overweight (all of which began when she quit smoking about age 40) and so on.
She knows how long the replacement lasts; says the socket is sort of impacted now, with all the cartilage and "gristle" gone, so that when it moves it's very painful; some days she's immobile. She's really just hanging in there, but is so alive, mentally, and will-fully!
She knows all about DE from the building perspective;
hope I can get her to see it from another facet--and take it.
About pectin and gelatin; she says maybe that's why she likes eating apples, (granny smith) even though she's "allergic to them". Funny. I used to love granny smiths until I water fasted. Since then, I tend to be drawn to red apples.
I think for her there's a malic acid-liver connection with the apples. (?)
She was told some years back she has a "fatty liver", and that the source of asthma problems is the gut, and ahe simply refused to believe it, even though she's always had allergies, asthma and excema (at various points).
thanks for your insight.
