Hi Donna,

Thanks for responding. The test was of the bio-electric characteristics of the blood, urine and saliva. The Doc is an MD, but one of few who do this testing. It is supposed to be a wonderful tool of early detection for physical problems.

The Doc also mentioned taking antioxident suppliments as well, (Vit C & E, Selenium, GrapeSeed, CoQ10, and another one starting with M but I can't read his writing.) He was very keen on juicing however because it was "live food" which is why it must be consumed within minutes of juicing. Like you Donna, juice has recently become a "dirty word". Is that the same for veggie juice as it is for fruit juice??? I don't know.

He was also very clear I was to reduce my protein to 20-40g per day, but diets I see for PCOS have considerably more protein.

I'm not quite as freaked out as I was when I first talked with the doctor and think on several levels I can balance the two food plans, however the low protein and getting "live food" still remain a challenge. Fresh fruit and veggies are "live", but he says no to raw veggies as undigestable.

Whatever the diet I choose, it will be a radical change from my current diet which includes lots of pasta (with healthy sauces), rice (brown rice with veggies), whole wheat bagels and sandwiches. I'm used to having one or more of these items every day, and now I can't have any. Where am I going to find something as cheap and easy as pasta?

Sorry for the whine. Anybody got any cheese :-)

Ciao,
