Discipline Schmiscipline

Fall down go boom a bit today, although did manage a half day at the office. Am continuing to read up on the RPAH Elimination/Failsafe diet and keep coming across the warnings that you can't do "your own version" of the diet, or eliminate selected groups of chemicals and not others.



Which is what I've been trying to do. With some success, I might add, but I've become greedy for health and so I'm going to step it up a notch. So, it's time to sacrifice bananas and chocolate and fetta cheese, and no more sneaky carrot in the cabbage. Somehow I will need to find a source of freshly slaughtered meat. Perhaps I can train the cats to bring in young beef cattle instead of crickets.

Hmmm *has visions of Wile E. Cyote moments chasing a sheep across the landscape*

Given how radical the first changes have already been I'm not too concerned that I wasn't able to go "all the way" straight up. I may yet not be able to do it - the complete program involves avoiding chlorine!

Off to the clinic tonight for the sleep study. I hope to take pix (or rather have them taken) of my electrode-encrusted lab-rat self.

Are there any public salt water pools?

I'm curious about those - iirc, salt is made up of chlorine and sodium (NaCl)? And doesn't that make it impossible to avoid chlorine, as it dissolves so easily in, say, tap-water?

It's the strong smell that seems to be the problem (the elimination diet includes avoiding anything with a smell), but since I don't get asthma attacks per se I'm hoping I can get away with it. I'm certainly going to make it a last resort to drop swimming from the agenda!

No, the ocean is not an option.
