After this post I'm butting out of this thread, Al. We have had threads here that just gave rank bad advice on diet (and other health issues, including advocacy of cannabis) from unqualified people, quite often from people (several of whom can be guaranteed to pop up on these threads) who clearly have unresolved health issues themselves. That makes it very difficult to know what's good and what's bad by way of advice. In the bad old days when Chiff and Fipple had a below-the-line squabble department, like this one, it was strictly forbidden to give out any advice at all on medical issues. I had many a difference with the people who ran that website, but on that point I wholeheartedly agree. Get professional advice is what I'm thinking you should be doing.
