Thanks Nenah. You may have explained why I cannot do cayenne. I came back positive for it on an Alcat test. But I was told I could use chili peppers. Does anyone know the difference between chili peppers and cayenne? PT

The book advocates basically a Paleo diet, but also addresses food allergies/sensitivities. The 1st 3 weeks you eliminate the 7 most likely candidates: gluten, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, peanuts and sugar. (I actually haven't read the entire book so I'm not an expert, but for sugar I think fruit is still OK and small amounts in things like ketchup are still OK.) After the 3 weeks are over you have challenge weeks which re-introduce one of these foods at a time, if you want to, that is. I've been trying this for a week so it's still early, but have had no arthritis pain (or any other pain; I often get random abdominal pains) since I started. ================================ Good suggestions, Alan. To the list of “no” foods I would add NIGHTSHADES. They contain chemical compounds that many people cannot neutralize, and the debris ends up in the joints and causes pain. Nightshades include white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, most pepper (bell & hot—including cayenne—though not peppercorns), tobacco, Goji berries, belladonna, and a few other things. Weston Price website has some great articles on nightshades, including why sensitive people should stay away from cayenne. You can do a search.
