What is Dr F's low fat vegan diet? I have Protomyxzoa with ALS symptoms.

I've read that I'm supposed to avoid eggs and almonds.

Positive for Protomyxzoa but absolutely nothing else in Igenex

There are a couple threads on this that hopefully you will want to read. I've pasted links below.

In a nutshell, the diet means limiting fats to 15 grams a day.

I have the protomyxzoa also (not with ALS symptoms), and have been doing this for a couple months now. I am also taking malarone for this.

It has helped me with circulation issues, if nothing else. nefferdun is on it also and has had significant improvement. There are others. That's what I remember quickly.

Dr. F. recommends low arginine, so anything that is high in Lysine is good. You can balance high arginine foods with high lysine foods or an L-lycine supplement.

Recently, I ate too many pistachio nuts and didn't feel good, very achy. I took (2) L-lysine supplements to counteract the imbalance and felt fine.

F recommends low fat vegan whole foods. In addition low arginine which is high in meat, nuts etc. Baileypup, nuts are super high in fat.

This new forum is just for protomyxzoa and we are trying to support each other with recipe ideas. Everyone on the diet feels much better.

nefferdum, I'm not following the low fat diet - shouldn't be eating nuts anyway!
