    Toxins from harmful mutation cells exist in the body when tumor suppressors are inactive.
    Link for this?
    What about free radicals then
    They exist and are NOT a toxin. Easily countered by consuming anti oxidant foods like raspberries, blueberries, acai berries, etc.
    and what about toxic levels of lead or aluminum in water
    Lol, if there are toxic levels in water, you should be alerting the correct authorities not drinking a concoction hoping to rid the body of it.

    You're starting to reach here. You're looking for strong reasons to do an anti inflammatory diet based on information you're receiving from pseudoscience. Again, while there is such a thing a systematic and chronic inflammation, unless you're suffering from it personally (and you wouldn't know unless you've consulted and tested with an immunologist), just eating a balanced diet with just restrictions to things that may cause irritation, should be fine.

    I have done an immune test and patch test. Let's see how long I last on this "hippy diet".

    That's not an anti-inflammatory diet. This is an anti-inflammatory diet.

    http://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-food-list/

    Note that the forbidden/preferred foods are completely different.

    You may want to check out individual foods in that book of yours against the data on Nutrition Facts.

    The idea that plants in the nightshade family are "bad for you" is an urban legend which refuses to die. Which makes me suspicious of your entire list.

    I've done both GAPS and AIP, both of which are designed to help heal chronic disease and inflammation. I've found both to be wonderful and helpful healing diets. I had the best success with GAPS, but when I tried AIP, I was much healthier so the healing wasn't as dramatic. With each plan, I found some foods that were allowed, but exacerbated my symptoms, and I found some foods that were restricted, but were neutral or improved my symptoms. Just stick to it, track what you are eating and pay attention to any symptoms you may have or any relief from problems. If you're testing your body's reaction to certain foods, give it several days or weeks to see what the result is. Best wishes.

    I have done a lot of research and I know a lot of people who are doing this. I will look into the other foods more closely but I tested moderately allergic to gluten. It's really intense I know. The same thing with paleo. You basically go back to a hunter and gatherer approach. Nothing fancy, and entirely bland. I've had success on it yet I did not continue. I should post before and after skin pictures.

    Thank you. I will. (: giving three months, and if all goes well to 6 and so on. Never tracked my food before but this will be good, a chance to really see what I am ingesting. I am naturally very healthy. You'd think I'd have excellent skin. Which is obviously not enough for clear skin. And I've tried everything under the sun, so with the results of being moderately allergic to certain foods and seeing my skin react negatively to caffeine, sugar and dairy I am ready for this challenge. I'm here to support you too. If you don't mind me asking what were you healing?

    Your list is just more in depth, thanks for that. My list was a primitive list, based on my specifics.

    I'm kind of a mess. I have been diagnosed with CFS, Fibromyalgia, Hashi's, Graves, adrenal insufficiency, Celiac, and a few other things. So basically I was trying to heal the fact that my body had decided to attack itself and stop working right. I'm mostly in functional shape now, but almost all of that is due to dietary changes I made.

    OP, how much fat are you getting in your diet? I know several people who have had skin issues due to inadequate amounts of fat. And since fat helps regulate hormones, increasing fats can improve overall skin condition.

    Acne is caused primarily by hormones. I recommend that you see an endocrinologist.

    Changes in your diet will change the quality and texture of your skin, but not your propensity to have a bacterial infection.

    Also, exfoliate more, use a toner, and moisturize with a lotion that is right for your skin.

    Thank you for your response. Yes I have seen an Endo. Done it all! I use the eminence line with topical creams at night. Aveda refiner. I am pretty set with my skin care routine. I am on the second full day of my diet, and overall I feel very positive about it.

    Have you tried coconut oil on your skin? Coconut oil has many great uses and has antibacterial properties, worth a try id say

    Yes I have, there's so much out there. It is amazing. I have a jar in the bathroom and kitchen. I even use it on my hair as a deep condition. (:

    I love the food lists. It pretty much reads Whole foods are anti inflammatory and processed food is pro inflammatory. I don't see how you could lose sticking to whole foods of all types. Start cooking your own meals using whole foods. I laugh every time I go to "Whole Foods" store because so little of what they sell is whole food. They have good bulk selection and meats that are not injected with saline solutions etc.

    Going to bump this in case you didn't see it.

    I have been following the AIP (autoimmune protocol) "diet" for 7 months. I had one month of too many going off program and definitely had a "flare". It was when I noticed that a bad flare seemed to coincide with what I was eating that I began researching diets. (I have rheumatoid disease) I just had my physical and my very unhealthy cholesterol levels were now "fantastic!" (I eat a lot of fat daily) My last visit with my rheumatologist she said (as she examined my lab work), "What ever you are doing....keep doing it!!!" I would encourage anyone with autoimmune issues to give this way of eating a try! I love it (but it takes some getting use to!!)
