Beth Martof replied to rj, Co-founder's discussion NAAF's response to mice study (press release)"Yes, I hope the cure is found soon. However,on the other hand, Anna, do you know if you were given soy formula as a baby? Even if soy is not GM it's bad for you. I am not saying you were or anything: I was just wondering. I was given it as a…"
Beth Martof replied to rj, Co-founder's discussion NAAF's response to mice study (press release)"No, Patty. It is not. Read the comments written on Amazon for the book, "The Whole Soy Story". If you want to keep your hair,don't ear soy. I found this out because I noticed I started having stomach problems and then my hair started…"
Beth Martof replied to rj, Co-founder's discussion NAAF's response to mice study (press release)"In the past I would have agreed with you. But now, corporate greed is more prevalent. Also, wouldn't you rather find out the cause of something and change it rather than taking a drug that has side affects? I would. My mother was a Vioxx…"
Beth Martof replied to rj, Co-founder's discussion NAAF's response to mice study (press release)"I think you might want to read "The Whole Soy Story" as it is well documented that soy is detrimental to the thyroid. You may say that the Japanese have been eating it for years but Hashimoto's thyroiditis is not uncommon there…"
Beth Martof replied to rj, Co-founder's discussion NAAF's response to mice study (press release)"Be careful. Even most chickens that are fed organically, are being fed organic soy and no matter, soy is just plain bad. Look on Amazon.com and read the comments written about people's experiences under the book, "The Whole Soy…"
Beth Martof replied to rj, Co-founder's discussion NAAF's response to mice study (press release)"I agree with you!! I think it's GM foods that cause it; soy, in particular. Soy is being fed to all animals, especially chickens. If you eat chickens or eggs, you are eating soy. Since 97% of the soy produced in the US is GM soy, then it is…"
Beth Martof replied to Beth Martof's discussion Celiac Disease/Alopecia Relationship?"Hi Nerida. I hope you try the Eat to Live diet. It isn't really that hard. The only thing I don't do is soy. That is because 93% of the soy grown in this country is GMO and unsafe. I eat a lof of other beans that are organic and eat lots…"
Nerida replied to Beth Martof's discussion Celiac Disease/Alopecia Relationship?"Hi Beth and thank you for the wonderful information. I too have Celiac Disease and I suspected a link between the two conditions myself, and then after seeing the today tonight about the vitamins I was sure there must be a link. I understand what…"
Beth Martof replied to Beth Martof's discussion Celiac Disease/Alopecia Relationship?"Recently, I just read that the Physicans Committee for Responsible Medicine does not reccomend using fish oil, stating that it has "highly unstable molecules that can break down and release dangerous, disease causing free radicals".

Hi Chris and Everyone,
I found a book review that I know would interest all of you. It was for a book on amazon and I have nothing to do with the author or anything, but…"

Beth Martof left a comment for letcia Parga"Good luck. Letcia. It's actually been really fun for me to find new recipes and make some of them up. I don't miss meat. Plus, you can have all the fruit you want!!! I've really come to love fruit. I guess that is why we have a sweet…"
Beth Martof replied to Chris Jeffrey's discussion Is anyone interested in trying to combat alopecia without drugs?"About meat, read the book, "The China Study" and read the book, "Eat to Live".

- I hope you post all this information in one of the discussion groups. It's very valuable.
I know that many people are gluten intolerant and don't know it. People should get tested if they can. I am not supposed to eat wheat, but I can eat other things like rye and oatmeal. Also I am not supposed to eat eggs and milk (interestingly, cottage cheese is all right).

- Very interesting about Celiac disease. I found out I am allergic to wheat and a few other things, but it didn't affect my hair follicles. Let me know how it goes with you!

How are you today?
