Often, we can't help a lot of it but can help some by getting adequate amounts of rest, (9 hours of sleep or rest per 24 hour period.....meaning laying with your eyes closed), cutting out foods that cause adrenalin rushes like coffee and sugar. And then, she is known as The Bean Queen. She advises eating tons of beans a day and if you cannot tolerate that to use psyllium husk fiber instead. The soluable fiber in these things (and you should use only pure psyllium husk not flavored, sugared stuff) cleans the foul bile out of your system. Fat binds to psyllium husk which takes many yucky things out of your system....cholesterol, hormones etc. She suggests eating beans 6 times a day for people with chronic health issues. The testimonials from people (and I have heard some in person) are amazing!

Thanks, what you describe is a repackaging of the McDougal plan, which I mentioned in my first post. Been doing (or at least believing in) this diet more or less for 30 years. Lately, just bought 700 lbs. of various species of dry beans (my first "prepper" action, as it's my normal diet anyhow.) I'm only suspicious of the "big bad bile" connection, but like Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye would tell each other in "White Christmas", "Everyone's gotta have an angle!"
