I think that's true, but what do you do if clean whole foods aren't all that
available? I am limited to Kroger and Wal-Mart where I live - havne't had th
chance to start a garden because we might be moving to Nashville in October.
The closest health food store is in Nashville - about 1 1/2 hours from here.

Also, my doc wants me to take high doses of Vitamin C to boost my immune
system (my Epstein Barr virus antibodies were close to 2,800 and the normal
range given was 0 - 99) but I don't tolerate citrus fruits and I don't
tolerate fruit in general due to the sugar I assume. I've got quite a few
food intolerances making it even more difficult to find organic veggies
because the ones I CAN eat aren't necessarily available in the stores I have
access to.

So I do take some supplements but try to limit it. I also use a hormone
cream because even when I did eat an almost perfect paleo diet, my hormones
were still messed up. I eventually ended up with 11 days of PMS and only 7
ok days before the whole cycle started over - my husband was not a happy man
and I can't say that I liked it any better. :)
