I don’t have any experience with an anti-inflammatory diet, but I wanted to jump in and remind everyone that our immune system is not "compromised" as you might think. As a matter of fact, our immune system is working overtime, creating antibodies that work against our own tissue. "Boosting" immune performance can actually end up making us feel worse, because it will stimulate the antibodies that make us feel badly, along with the rest of our immune system. It’s a fine line, so walk that carefully.

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone has had success following an anti-inflammatory diet. I recently decided to start treatment (Tapizole) and am also talking with eastern doctors for other things I can do to help deal with symptoms, improve immune system, etc… An anti-inflammatory diet was one suggestion so I’m wondering if anyone has had good results with that.

thanks for your help!

Elisa – OK, I am curious about what the diet actually contains. Is it more of certian foods? Or is it supplements? I think a lot of Eastern medicine can be a nice adjunct – but as Ski points out, with caution.

I recently found out that red rice yeast is very close to prescription lovastatin (used to lower cholesterol) – in fact, FDA had some brands pulled because they were too close to the same. So, the Chinese get enough in the average diet to actually equal our prescription meds. And so East and West are often on the same track but with some differences.

Let me know about the diet and what it entails – again, I am curious. C

Hi,

For the diet, basically cutting out all processed foods, fried foods, any fatty animal products, sweeteners, etc…

Yep, my GP also said to add lots of organic fruits and veggies.

Well – Most Americans could use more fruits and veggies so if that is the jist of it – sounds healthy. Good luck with it. You will have to let us know if you feel a difference.
