My Dietary Challenges, February and March

Posted on March 2, 2022March 3, 2022 by Jacquie

In January, Dennis Pollock of the “Beat Diabetes” YouTube channel, announced he was going to solicit participants for a 6-month challenge to eat what he recommends for a low-carb diet which includes intermittent fasting with two meals a day and no snacks. It was to begin in February 2022 and go through July 2022. To…

Lent Without Carbs, Last Update

Posted on March 21, 2020 by Jacquie

Well, it’s the last update, not because Lent is over, but because the COVID-19 (coronavirus) has hijacked the whole world! Lent is probably pretty much a moot point since there will be no Easter (or Passover) as we have known it. No Seder meal. No Ramadan. No Easter church services, no Easter egg hunts, no…

Individual Acupuncture Therapy #5

Posted on September 10, 2018 by Jacquie

September 10, 2018, 1:30 p.m. Today’s session is the halfway point of my allotted 10 sessions. I told Paul Simon that I’m taking Lyrica at a dose that is just under the amount to mitigate ALL pain, but just enough to allow me to be able to function in everyday life. “The greatest benefit,” I…

Appointment with New PCP

Posted on August 23, 2018 by Jacquie

August 23, 2018, 2:45 p.m. I liked it that my appointment with my new PCP was only 2 miles away from home (instead of 10+ miles to Alameda). I did not like it that there is no wi-fi or cell phone coverage inside the Kaiser building. I checked in a half hour early, anticipating that…

Walking at Pacifica Pier

Posted on August 11, 2018 by Jacquie

We have not been to Pacifica Pier since New Year’s Day 2016, the day it was much too cold to be there! And it was our last trip to Pacifica that we made with Barley. But today, in the middle of summer, is a very different day–sunny, warm, and the first time we have been…

Pain Physical Therapy #4

Posted on June 8, 2018 by Jacquie

June 8, 2018, 1:30 p.m. I woke up at 7:00 a.m. with a bonafide migraine! Got up, took sumatriptan and two Aleve, and went back to bed with an ice pack on my head and my feet on the heating pad. Fortunately, I woke up just in time to get a shower and pour coffee…

Present Truth

Posted on January 4, 2015April 7, 2021 by Jacquie

Wikipedia defines “present truth” (in Adventist theology) as “a belief in truth as appropriate to any given time.” But it is the dietary approach to diabetes management that especially needs application of present truth as I continue to research and sort through the plethora of conflicting ideas. Eden diet? Clean meat? Vegetarian? Vegan? Weimar/NEWSTART diet? Atkins…
