I just had a large stone removed (I am hoping it is an artifact from my pre-paleo/whole foods lifestyle, but early on in paleo, I mainlined spinach and kale smoothies and sweet potatoes), but want to be sure I don't repeat that nightmare. If you can point me to any info regarding dosing per day, that would be helpful.

D for someone who is ...@Dennis - supplementing Vit. D for someone who is prone to stones is possibly contraindicated. If you must supplement Vit. D, it is your best bet to add Vit. K2 MK7 200-300 mg per day as long as you are not on a blood thinner. K2, Vit. A, and Vit. D are a trio that work together. The K2 may help reduce calcium deposited in soft tissues.<br /><br />I have also read that there are certain gut bacteria that bind to oxalates. The specific one, more that half of people loose after childhood. I have read that certain commonly found probiotics can help do the same function of binding oxalates in the gut so that they don't enter the bloodstream.<br /><br />Regarding the keto diet and childhood epilepsy causing stones, I would really wonder what the out come of that study would be if they were not using so much processed dairy as a fat source, for example if you did more of a paleo/whole food/MCT oil style of diet where you could raise carbs to around 50 grams a day and stay in ketosis. Just a thought.machineheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268788108820394186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-22494091876998486862010-07-21T14:30:07.922+00:002010-07-21T14:30:07.922+00:00Hmmmm, phosphoric acid and fructose make a great c...Hmmmm, phosphoric acid and fructose make a great combo then.

This is incomprehensible to me but probably accepted by most mixed diet eaters. It's incorrect if you omit the sucrose. <br /><br />What really I like is his question "What accelerates aging of the bones?" <br /><br />The answer is the same as for all other systems: Insulin.<br /><br />Who is the chap with the website?

The "in your head" stuff is powerful, but observational stuff on the SAD or equivalent here suggest a BMI around 26 might be better than 20. That puts me up the creek (low BMI too)!<br /><br />When a friend started on an all meat diet for MS control we set her up with a fixed portion of white rice to keep her well out of ketosis. For compliance reasons she just ate zero carb, all meat, plus added rice to keep insulin levels from bottoming out. Going via routine gluten free LC had failed to stabilise her. Veggies were added back once she was stable, got rid of the rice then. But white rice does seem quite safe as grains go if you want to adjust insulin/weight/ketosis/immune function... Keeps it very simple.<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-90568565798642475322009-11-05T13:37:12.477+00:002009-11-05T13:37:12.477+00:00Hi Peter,

As far as I'm concerned no one that I know who has helped themselves using a LC approach would have attempted it with raw meat. Maybe it's better, maybe not. For people to give up bread and sugar is hard enough, to replace them with raw bacon is for the people on the far edge of self experimentation. Fine to look in that direction, but traditional LC delivers the goods most of the time!<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-43764987712836578302009-11-05T11:17:01.737+00:002009-11-05T11:17:01.737+00:00Hi Peter,
