Title: pain relief

You can substantially reduce or even completely eliminate many kinds of chronic pain with a special diet that's rich in certain carbohydrates, and low in fats, protein and sugar.

Substantially increase your consumption of complex carbohydrates, these include foods such as wholegrains, ( with the exclusion of corn), beans vegetables and fruits, so these make up 70-80% of your food intake.

Avoid refined carbohydrates, such as sugar, honey, and syrups, and cut your total sugar intake by at least 40%.

Avoid all fats and oils including butter, margarine, meat fats and lard, as much as possible. Also avoid fatty meats, whole milk, cheese with more than 1% fat content, and egg yolks.

Give both caffeine and alcohol a miss.

Take an amino acid supplement called tryptophan, this is converted by the body into serotonin, a pain relieving chemical.

The combination of the special diet and the tryptophan should dramatically elevates your pain tolerance.

This is one more proof I suppose that indicates the essentiality of the carbohydrate in our daily food. I am surprised to see these new fad diets which say the carbs should be totally disregarded.

Fad diets are stupid!!! Eliminate carbs??? Ridiculous. And we wonder why peoples bodies are so out of whack that they need soooo much caffeine, red bull, pills, etc...

Stupid diets like that destroy your body, not help it. Sure you might lose a few pounds, but not the way nature intended you to. You end up doing more harm. Your body may look great but you have no energy, and increase risk of other chronic conditions coming on.

Here are some diet tips I have found to help ease pain (from http://www.jigsawhealth.com/articles/fibromyalgia-dietary.html), associated with Fibromyalgia and other ailments:
* Add foods to your diet that have high antioxidant power such as blueberries, and dark green, leafy vegetables.
* Choose high-quality, organic, hormone- and antibiotic-free “grass-fed” meats.
* Increase your omega-3 essential fatty acids by selecting high-quality wild salmon, minimal-mercury albacore tuna, fish oil, and sprouted walnuts.
* Eat raw, organic vegetables.
* Add high-quality fiber to your diet, such as organic flax meal.
* Add healthy saturated fats to your diet, such as organic extra virgin coconut oil.
* Choose sprouted whole grain products that contain important enzymes for digestion.
* Eat nutrient-dense, unprocessed raw foods, such as nuts and seeds.
* Choose organic, cage-free eggs.
* Choose unpasteurized, raw dairy items that have live, active cultures (probiotics), such as yogurt and kefir.
* Drink purified water throughout the day.

Foods to AVOID include:

* Nightshade vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (green, red, yellow) – These appear to aggravate pain in people who suffer from pain and inflammatory disorders.
* Excessive caffeine intake – While moderate amounts of caffeine may be beneficial for boosting metabolism, excessive consumption of caffeine can disrupt sleep patterns. Fibromyalgia patients are particularly vulnerable to sleep disorders and should monitor their caffeine intake so that it doesn’t disrupt deep sleep.
* Carbonated soft drinks that cause blood pH levels to become acidic
* Sweetened fruit juices that spike blood sugar levels too rapidly
* All simple or refined carbohydrates (white flour, white rice, white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, crackers, processed snack foods, etc.) – Read more about good carbs and bad carbs.
* All foods containing refined sugar or artificial sugar-substitutes such as aspartame, Splenda®, etc. Choose a natural sweetener like Xylosweet™ instead.
* Alcoholic beverages in excess since they hinder the functioning of the immune and digestive systems
* Limited cheese and wine
* Fungi such as mushrooms
* Pickled foods
* Bottom-crawlers such as oysters, clams, and lobster that may contain toxic levels of mercury
* Deep-sea fish such as tuna, mackerel, and swordfish that may contain toxic levels of mercury. Choose minimal-mercury albacore tuna instead.
* Farm-raised fish that contain PCBs and not enough omega-3 essential fatty acids, due to their land-based diets
* Sodium nitrite found in processed foods such as hot dogs, lunch meats, and bacon
* Monosodium glutamate (MSG) found in many foods as a flavor enhancer
* Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils found in many processed foods, deep-fried foods, fast foods, and junk food – Read more about good fats and bad fats.
