I think Todd's suggestion to Ray is good --

emphasize the importance of there being a *range* of

but I would add --

tell people *how* to do this experimentation.

I just plain don't understand how to tell what causes what.  If my ears itch
more today than yesterday, what is the time frame I should be looking at to
determine the food that might have caused it?  If I start sneezing all of a
sudden after a meal, does that mean I'm allergic to something I just ate?  How
do I know how much fat to eat?  etc. etc. etc.

On another list I was on a holistic practitioner said that a food diary was
crucial to recovery.  Sounds reasonable, but, again, what data I'd put in
there means what?
