Hi Greg, for what it is worth... I'm in watch and wait so I want to do something to try to get my numbers closer to normal range. I read a number of books, some that you suggested and did some basic a scoring on what diet might stack the deck in my favor. I settled on the Dean Ornish program and have been making changes to get on his full reversal diet by the end of the summer. His program has success in heart disease, prostate cancer and gene expression. I gave up meat, sugar, processed foods and I'm working on reducing the amount of fruit in my diet ( I also gave up milk products while ornish doesn't have an issue with no fat milk, the china study was bugging me so that was throw out also). I'm not on his full reversal diet yet as I have salmon 3 times a weeks and I still have some almonds,walnuts and avocado as well as more that 5 servings of fruit. I would say I'm about 90% on the reversal program. My last blood work was stable which I was glad I didn't kick a hornets nest by making a big diet change. I'm not concerned with my b12 right now as I'm getting that checked often and it been on the high side.

I do not have a success story on this yet other than my life long allergies going away and dropping 30lbs (I dropped the 30lbs and have stayed at that weight). I wanted to try something that Bruce and Marla over at aplastic central have discussed but settled on this. I'm pretty sure my issue is related to my past autoimmune history. I took out the books but most of the reversal diet and information on his trials are on his web site.
