Interesting, Michel, that you stopped eating potatoes this weekend.  I did as well.  Too many carbs, which was keeping my blood sugar too high.  I cut them all up and planted them in the garden, because the rabbit likes to eat their shoots.  I let the rabbit have the run of the yard, and when i let him out, he literally ran about and danced with obvious joy.

Thanks, Sam, for all of your health tips.

Do not thank me. I find it's my duty that everyone should have a good healthy body. This is the only way I can help, even in the smallest way, I am happy.
I may not be anything but that is the only thing I can help.

Michel, most vegetable oil is probably GMO, except for peanut oil and olive oil.

GMO products causes cancer and etc.

Magnesium in the Central Nervous System

Michel, in this website or pdf, there are trials conducted that linked low magnesium to bipolar and othere diseases.

Thanks, Sam, for the interesting link to Diabetes and Magnesium.  Monday I checked my blood sugar and found it 50 over, which is 100 under what it used to be, but not good enough, so I checked the nutritional value of various foods that I had been eating.  It means no more organic whole grain bread, no more organic potatoes in the quiche, no more brown rice, but beer turns out to be a sugar-free, low carb beverage that is high in Vitamin B-6 and Magnesium.  At least there are some consolations in this world.

So glad that you are feeling much better. So nice to hear it.

Even though beer have a zero glycemic index, it does have guanosine, which is the most easily absorbed purine (uric acid). Beer also strip the many nutrients out of your body. So, try to take less of it. I would also recommend you take a supplement of magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate. I think it will do wonders to those joints. Cheers

Michel, you should never microwave your food. It's like eating an atomic bomb bit by bit. It's radioactive.
There's quite a debate on the safety of microwave cooking. I just started educating myself on this subject, and just found this interesting article on microwaves from the Cancer Reseach UK.org. I wonder if they get their funding from those who make microwave ovens? I bet there's someone else with an equally persuasive opinion on the negative effects of microwaves.
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-help/about-cancer/cancer-questions/radiation-microwaves-and-cancer
Don't take too much nuts especially peanuts, it's very high in purine hence too much uric acid in the body.
I'm not eating peanuts, however I'm taking 24meq's of Potassium Chloride daily. This should control the uric acid. What do you think?
I think if you can eat more fresh green leafy vegetables. Stir fry them in butter or clarified butter since they are the more stable oil.
I might go for some seaweed. I'd have to order it online since I don't have a car.
Oatmeal have a high glycemic index which is not suitable for diabetic but for a normal person , it's good but not too much. You should supplement your diet with coconut oil and magnesium.
There's 40g of carbs in the oatmeal I eat, and then there's a bit of cane sugar. Do you think I should stop eating oatmeal?
Magnesium helps the liver and can lower your blood pressure.
Thanks for pointing this out and providing links to videos and articles on this important subject. I'll get to them in time.
So is aloe vera. What aloe vera does, is that it anti inflammatory and any inflammation in your blood or cardiovascular system will be heal hence lowering blood pressure also. Incidentally, I forgot to mention it's very good for the liver as well. It does not treat bipolar per se.
I read some good articles on Aloe Vera. Are supplements of this any good?
With this diet, since all the refined stuff that stripped your body of all the nutrients which is needed for the normal functioning of the body, especially magnesium which is needed in large quantity. On the ketogenic diet, none is stripped but with the food or nutrient rich food eats it can balance the body. Further more, cutting out sugar/fructose/high fructose corn syrup which is the main cause of mood disorder and magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate which relaxes the body which is very beneficial for us.
I have considered sugar/fructose/high fructose corn syrup the worst substances one can consume. They can ruin your health as you well know. I've stayed away from these for quite some time now.
I do not know where you live but try to get fresh organic produce as it contains more nutrients and eat liver, it's good for your liver. Try to get hold of aloe vera as well but if you can't, I can send you some herbs that perhaps could help it. I have herbs for high uric acid as well. High uric acid also causes high blood pressure. Message me with your address if want the herb. Hope you get well soon. Cheers!
I live in the eastern part of Ontario, Canada, in the land of ice and snow. It's very difficult to get any locally produced produce in the winter. Thank you for your kind offer, Sam. Very much appreciated. I think I find can everything I need from an online health food store. I'll let you know how I make out.

My depressions are under control. But I'll consider adding magnesium in the correct amounts to my diet.

When I read this, one of the brahma-viharas arose in me: sympathetic joy. There is hope after all  for this old carcase of an emotional iceberg. I'm really happy to hear that your health is improving. And it's in large measure thanks to Sam.

Just found an interesting article on the dangers of cooking with microwaves.They conducted an experiment with plants watered with microwaved water and compared them to those watered with boiled water. The water in both cases was left to cool down to room temperature. They say the plants watered with microwaved water dies because they think the water becomes carcinogenic. Mind you it does not say if the water is radioactive. One could test this with a Geiger counter.  I would not conduct such an experiment at home because it might kill the plant. See here: http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-dangers-of-microwave-radiation-cannot-be-ignored/24342

Here's a good article on the pros and the cons arguments regarding microwave safety: http://wafflesatnoon.com/microwave-oven-dangers-real-or-hoax/

With regards to microwave food, I would take the safer route of not using regardless whether the arguments over it's safety. Better be safe than sorry. As for potassium chloride, I've read reports that it's quite effective in controlling uric acid. If your oatmeal contains cane sugar a.k.a. glucose and fructose, I think you should abandon it and take raw organic oats which might be a better options. I sincerely hope you get well soon. Cheers

Michel, I too eat a small bowl of oat meal every day, but I sweeten it with Stivia, to reduce the already too much carbs, but I see it as a trade off for its benefits.

On the microwave issue:
I find it hard to believe that microwaved water kills plants.  You could certainly attempt to repeat the experiment with your own plants.

On the other hand, hot plate and/or toaster oven can cook most things that require, or recommend, a microwave.  You may have to transfer the food to be cooked into a porcelain or metal bowl for cooking, and learn how to cook it, which will take some experimenting.  I tend to start on the low end, and keep an eye on it to avoid ruining food that I cannot afford to ruin.  Eggs and bacon are easy to cook in a frying pan with butter over a burner, and are low carb.
There is no progress without discipline.
