Optimal food for healing? Cancer/inflammation
I've been reading about plant-based, raw food, paleo diets etc. On one hand I totally agree with the plant-based diet arguments, but I recently stumbled onto the "Autoimmune Solution" by Amy Myers. The argument is that to heal the gut and fight the inflammation you should cut out gluten, grains, legumes, and mostly eat veggies, fruits and animal protein. What are your thoughts on this? Are grains and legumes really that harmful and inflammatory?
I myself had my thyroid removed a month ago due to papillary cancer (stage 1, didn't spread, no radioactive
Iodine treatment). I'm now on Levothyroxine, but the meds don't seem to work and my TSH levels are 30+ instead of 2. I also have many symptomps of the leaky gut, lazy bowel, inflammation and parasites. Could the diet high in dairy, grains and legumes be the culprit? What should I eat/supplement with to get better? I'm currently eating mostly plants and grains, some legumes instead of meat, fish 1-2 times a week. I supplement with liquid chlorophyll, take Pau d'Arco + Cat's Claw, and eat cod liver daily.
Many thanks!
