i have just read your diary i am so glad i did, one of the reasons the programme appealed to me was the bit about this helping illnesses, like you i have inflammation with lupus and psoriatic arthritis, i am interested to see if your bloods show a reduction in esr levels, also the meds i have to take affect my levels in my kidneys and liver so hopefully this will ease up, my bloods are done monthly so will keep an update on that in my diary. how fab would it be to not have to take the dreaded steroids now and then which cause a moonface. if this diet really does this what a total lifechanging thing this would be apart from the obvious weightloss.
