That lets out almost all processed foods, so it's mostly fruit, dairy, and the occasional bit of chocolate.<br /><br />This jumped out at me: "There is a risk of necrosis of the hip joint, and perhaps other joints, with prolonged dexamethasone use, especially with concurrent bisphosphonates. This is a serious problem if it occurs. The risk of occurrence is low, but I'm thinking I've maybe had about enough DEX." I've had a somewhat sudden, very dramatic increase in hip pain and this could be a clue.<br /><br />The IMF is offering a day-long workshop near here in October, but since I'm starting a clinical trial next week, I don't know if I'm going to be up to attending.

I love your summaries...so clear, helpful and right to the point! <br /><br />I loved the advice that we not eat anything that our grandmothers wouldn't recognize, hehe. <br /><br />And the toxin-body fat discussion makes me want to go bake and eat a gooey chocolate cake right now...to ensure that the toxins stored in my body won't get released, of course!

I was under the impression that it was a major component of gasoline, but Wikipedia suggests that it has been mostly removed from gasoline.<br /><br />Also, I didn't hear anything about how long the effect can lurk.

A year? 30 years?Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923592545983795350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107951278396437262.post-55487081757944377742009-08-31T07:20:49.675-05:002009-08-31T07:20:49.675-05:00Did they happen to comment on the sources of benze...Did they happen to comment on the sources of benzene.
