@lamoore This conversation has moved from Diet to other possible homeopathic treatments. I am going to attempt to re-center this post and discuss diet. I am a 25 year survivor of breast cancer and came to the realization 25 years ago that we very much "are what we eat". I moved to an organic food diet then. Twenty-five years ago there was little to none processed organic foods. This meant I went without potato chips and many other foods we take for granted. I learned to make bread, which is fun and relaxing once I mastered it. Now organic bread is easy to find. I discovered that organic foods had more flavor and were more filling with smaller servings.
When I was Dx with PMR in 2020 I looked into to diet changes about 2 years later and decided I would make one change at a time. My first, and to date my only diet change for PMR, was to eliminate refined sugar.
Refined sugar is simply food for inflammation - so by eating refined sugar you are feeding the PMR Beast.
The first month of no refined sugar was tough. No question on that. And I would cheat some, by the second month it was 10x easier. I am coming up on several years now and I do not even want desserts and other foods high in refined sugars. I can look at a bakery counter full of sugary treats, I think they are beautiful, however I have no interest in trying any of it.
The medical reward was my Lipid Panel looks better than it has looked in about 20 years. I had no idea that sugar elimination would do that. I am now on a med that requires semi-annual Lipid Panels. I enjoy my doctor mentioning what good numbers I have every time we run the panel.
To date I have made no other diet changes for PMR per se. I do believe that the sugar elimination helped, but it did not eliminate PMR. There are many anti-inflammatory diets on the market. Please research these and make an informed diet decision - because We Are What We Eat.
