Anyone older than 5 should not be using that word. It's called your stomach.
Bwahahahaha!

Stop eating bad salt (table salt that only has 2 minerals). Instead eat good salt - Celtic or Himalayan salt, that is actually good for you with it’s 82 minerals
You have to eat approximately 2 cups of salt per day to gain ANY benefit from minerals (except iodized table salt) it contains. 2 cups will kill you. Sea salt and specialty salts can have a flavor and texture which make them good for finishing a dish but add nothing nutritionally.mrjamesfowles wrote: »
Drink more water
Only reasonable advice in all the woo, but I would state it as "get more fluids"mrjamesfowles wrote: »Stop drinking coffee and other acidic drinks like cola because your body balances the PH levels by drawing on calcium from your bones - which is not good for you as it weakens your bones.
There is some evidence that drinking cola can reduce bone density but it is the phosphoric acid in it, not the pH that seems to be the culprit. This is a correlation that warrants further study to determine if it is actually a causation but it cannot be presented as fact yet.4 -

As all disease begins in the gut, I concentrated here first and was surprised to discover just how terrible a diet most of us have been fed by society
Personally I decided to follow a few simple rules which have benefited me greatly.
Stop eating Wheat, Dairy, Refined Sugar - Now my tummy isn’t bloated, I don’t get abdominal pains and no more migraines!
Eat organic - this gets more minerals into your body and lessens toxins getting in too
Let your tummy rest for 5 hours in between meals - no snacking or nibbling. - my tummy is much much happier now and my stools are normal
Stop eating bad salt (table salt that only has 2 minerals). Instead eat good salt - Celtic or Himalayan salt, that is actually good for you with it’s 82 minerals
Don’t drink during meals. Either drink 1/2 hour before or 1 1/2 hours after. Drinking water during meals brings alkaline to your gut but when you eat, your body produces hydrochloric acid to help digest your food so it’s doesn’t digest properly if you neutralise with water.
Drink more water - small and often
Try to eat more alkalising food as your body works far better and fends off diseases easier.
Stop drinking coffee and other acidic drinks like cola because your body balances the PH levels by drawing on calcium from your bones - which is not good for you as it weakens your bones.
Exercise - this bring more oxygen into your body and wards off cancer, which cannot live in the presence of oxygen
I could talk for hours on this subject and evidence the detail but that is saved for my talks and classes
Hope this snippet of info helps
My clinical depression didn't start in my tummy.
With the advent of atomic energy and the dropping of atomic bombs, every inch of soil on the planet now contains low levels of radiation. Organic food may be free of chemical pesticides, but it doesn't mean it's free of all chemicals. And I don't like eating caterpillars with my broccoli (they're extremely good at hiding).
I have no idea what alkalising food is. Something about olives?
I'm diabetic. If I don't eat at least every four hours I get tired and confused and my blood glucose could be affected. I'm sure other diabetics can go on an empty stomach for longer. I can't.
The acid our stomachs produce is quite strong and very good at breaking down food taken with water. The human race has also coped admirably with washing down food with water for a very long time.
Eating a balanced diet isn't supposed to be the equivalent of entering a labyrinth.
All salt is bad for you (unless you have medical issues that require a higher intake) if you don't need as much salt as you're using. I don't know if doctors care about the mineral composition of ordinary salt when their patients are keeling over from a stroke.
Food shouldn't be this hard to do if you're an average human with no issues that require a specialised diet. It's supposed to be easy and fairly enjoyable, not a quantum theorem that you need a roomful of blackboards to figure out. If it works for you, crack on. Extolling it is a different matter.

I laughed at "nutropath" followed by "a few simple rules" followed by a complex list of unnecessary crap.21

Why shouldn't adults use "tummy"? It's a cute word. I heard it comes from "tumescence', but I haven't looked up its etymology.6 -

Agreed. Generally it is used when discussing something in a lighthearted manner rather than being serious. I tend to use it a lot out of habit because I foster kittens so I am always talking about the tummy.3 -

I just looked up the etymology for you...Websters says it's "baby-talk alteration of stomach".
And that's why I hate it...I'm an adult who doesn't like baby-talk. But, I'm also a curmudgeon who hates everything cute, so there ya go. 12 -
I did. I had a thyroid condition for which the only treatment was t4 tablets with dairy or liquid with preservatives both made me ill, I had no alternative but to look for other ways to regain my health. The local endo over rode the Regional immunologist salicylate in food does not cause health problems when it does. So I could not have treatment on the NHS. I was virtually housebound no life worth living, what the heck is should have just got on with being satisfied with what I had and been in a care facility by now costing my family an arm and a leg.
My best friend died of ovarian cancer. She was told take imodium for the symptoms she had it was too late by the time she was diagnosed. Myself, I survived my cancer but not before I was told the symptoms I was trying to live with were normal for women get on with it. Had my thyroid concerns been treated properly I believe I would not have developed my cancer!
On the subject of pain, a granddaughter fractured her collar bone till the 10th of August she believed she had a low pain threshold, a male doctor told her this. She had only just arrived at the hospital when she produced her son. She thought its got to be harder than this...…………….. My daughter then in her 40's also fractured her collar bone, when it was not repairing itself as it should they did not test to see if her bone density and status was good, her hgh, They chose to leave her 10 months before operating! Back to the Matty wing again. My fitst Granddaughter was sent home because, "She was not ready" only to return 2 hours later and pup virtually on the door step.
I heard this morning of someone Sectioned under out Mental health act who should not have been. This person is, I forget the politically correct term, in need of support, she was told take these pills or we will give you them in a shot! A friend suggested she contact a solicitor and was able to overturn the section being allowed home no pills and potion's with dreadful side effects which I've seen take grown men off their feet.
now we have a family member who has a form of MS called TM. This person presented 8 weeks ago, told, ok come back when your numbness reaches your knees, so he did, to be told, come back when it has reached your groin! to be told come back when it reaches your neck which he did was put on a treatment for an autoimmune disease for a week to be told your test results aren't right for Gillam Barre must be TM, now he has septic hands, A and E did not know what it was told him go to the doctor he has waited a week to have a phone consultation tomorrow or is it Tuesday. Does this mean it is TM or is it some other weird health problem which may mean he will not live to see his NINE month old grow up? He is still numb up to his neck can barely walk, he staggers, can't lift his son or be left to care for him on his own. What the hell is going on.
If you are fortunate and find a doctor who makes the box he/she has fit your circumstances or your are left dyeing following a road accident or other unbearable happening they are wonderful.
My mother has a loose hip replacement, the A and E consultant wanted to replace it for her. The family doctor had shallow steps, which send the rest of us flying when we visit, for he to get in and out safely but she hardly goes out she is too frightened to. She lives with my sister who is a part qualified doctor did not complete her taining because she was been pushed to paediatrics and she can't stand kids.
Clarie, I'm glad for you that the people you have met in the NHS were able to give you the treatment and respect you needed/deserved many are not getting this.
I love what the NHS is supposed to stand for. I worked for it.
I'm fortunate at least I've got my health back by in part healing my digestive tract and immune system. Unlike another friend who needed her knee replacement because of all the care and understanding she gave willingly to NHS patients over many years and now has a foot which faces outwards and makes walking very painful, because someone did not do their job properly and even as someone who worked long hard hours did not deserve a leg which functioned properly.
There is some very shoddy practice. The Hampshire hospital where people were over prescribed pain relief and died when they did not need it! Now I can't remember the hospital, we are hearing of families who are short of much loved children because of the "practice" not to listen to women who have said my baby is no longer moving.
All this hurts me personally. I love the "free at the point of need", regardless of the ability to pay.
eta. the person in my family with Possibly MS has not had a scan to see if there are lesions on his nerves and brain and where ever they are waiting to see while more damage is probably being done to his nerve coverings. He is to go back in two months.21 -
Thank mate who ever wood me. this is my life How would you like all this happening in your free to use health service.
BTW we all contribute from our earnings in the form of National Insurance, so those of us who are able pay for those who are unable.11 -

I hate when adults say tummy and I hate when mothers refer to themselves as "Mommy" makes me cringe

An interesting read related to gut microbiome: https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/autism-could-be-linked-to-mothers-gut-microbiome/
Back to the original topic: We really don't know everything there is to know about how things we eat can affect us in the long term, so to dismiss things out of hand may be shortsighted.
Also, I wish people would treat others with differing opinions with a bit more civility and respect. That doesn't seem to be asking for too much among adults, does it?

Nobody was disrespectful of the OP. What he had to say, on the other hand, is open to derision because most of it has already been debunked or, at best, is unsupported by science. None of it is new to people on these boards.10 -

There has always been radiation in the soil, it isn't a recent thing nor anything to do with atomic bombs. Most radiation in the soil is from naturally occuring processes or from space. A very, very, very small amount is from anything human made. Unless you're talking about somewhere like Chernobyl or Fukishima.5 -

One needs to choose your scientist with care. Remember how a British Scientist declared sugar, too much of it was bad for us way back in the 1960's-70's and was rubbished for many years and still is by those in the thrawl of big food business.
Reports recently of Japanese scientists who tested a good number of people, a number of times and discovered the subjects did better being tested, on days when the air quality was better when they were sitting the tests. I hope anyone interested will have enough information there to find their own links. I don't bother with links. I have pointed people in the past to my information points. Anyone who may be interested will make their own enquiries. I consider I'm incredibly fortunate to live in a country which has a media, who if you listen and read properly rather than gobble up the sound bits which can bee misleading, who are obliged to provide good scientific information. I'm more than disillusioned by our NHS but to have key information signposted for us is a real boon.
To the person who kindly asked, what is the NHS. The NHS is the British Health Service which is paid for by National Insurance, an additional tax to cover social costs, by the working population. The NHS is celebrating its 70th year of existence providing free health provision for those who need it without charges at the time, generally taken to be life long residents of the UK. So someone can be down on their uppers and still have healthcare. We should look after each other, its the humane thing to do.
Its just regrettable many of the systems which were put in place all those years ago have not changed to deal with the health complaints which ail many of us these days. Its a great relief we no longer have as many incidents/accidents in the work place as we once did thought regrettably people are still becoming ill because of contact with asbestos. I can't remember when it was removed from our vehicle brake linings.5 -

You have contradicted yourself. Derision IS disrespectful. I am not going to argue with you, but some on this forum come across as arrogant, self-appointed "experts".

No, I did not contradict myself. I specifically said the OP was not disrespected, the "information" was. Huge difference.13
