Hello. AliB here. Mrs conflicting opinion personified.
To those that know me, high five.
For those that don't, I've been around diabetic forums for several years but have withdrawn latterly.
My views may seem controversial at times, but I have no wish to trigger conflict, only thought and debate. I will not continue in a hostile environment.....
It is interesting how views are changing though. What was viewed as controversial is now becoming more accepted, and even welcomed in some circles.
Hub and I went gluten free before it was 'fashionable', as we realised that whether we were Celiac or not, we were far better off without it. We were viewed as cranks. On a prominent Celiac website I was vilified because I encouraged the consumption of natural food (the Specific Carb Diet to be precise) to promote healing rather than commercially made gluten-free baked (high carb) garbage (which the site sells - say no more). I was beaten into a corner, restricted to just my SCD thread and eventually gave up. Now, with the advent of experts like Dr. William Davis etc., who promote natural food over gluten-free garbage (I would have said 'crap' but I'm far too ladylike), and has found that people can recover their health, the tide is turning, thank goodness.
My current viewpoint is equally controversial.
Parasites, and the damage they can do.
There's another issue that's been swept under the carpet for far too long....
Look forward to chatting with you all....
