Laurie, there wasn't a lot at that particular link- no comments in
response to her article are posted. I submitted a comment/question
last month at that site asking why she didn't recommend Vitamin C for
the iron problems she was talking about. She was just promoting the
hair product and more meat. Here is the article in response to a lady
who is busy w/hair falling out:
AU: Stress can certainly play a big role in hair loss and so
addressing this part of your life is crucial. Lemon balm and camomile
teas are both very soothing, with the latter working on anti-anxiety
centres in our brains to help to calm us down. They are certainly
worth sipping throughout the day and at night to improve the chances
of a good sleep.
Also, take a look at your iron intake. Iron is a mineral that we get
from lean red meat, oily fish and eggs as well as some pulses,
fortified breakfast cereals and dark green vegetables, such as
spinach. The problem is that around 40 per cent of women in the UK are
just not getting enough and one sign of long-term poor iron intake is
thinning hair. Try to have at least one iron-rich food a day and top
up with a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement that gives you
around 14mg of iron that is close to the recommended daily intake. I
would not recommend iron alone unless prescribed by your doctor
because it can unbalance the absorption of other minerals.
I have seen some impressive results for hair thinning with another
specific hair supplement formulation called Nourkrin. It is a blend of
soluble silica and vitamin C, plus a protein compound of marine
extracts. I am usually rather nervous of =93beauty=94 supplements but this
one has undergone clinical testing and over a period of six months has
been shown to have good effects on hair gain, comparing favourably
with hair restoring drugs such as finasteride.
The advantage of this supplement is that it is side-effect free. While
scientists are not quite able to pinpoint how it works, they predict
it could be down to improvements in the production of a hormone called
dyhydrotesterone in the hair follicle. It is quite pricey though (you
can buy it from high street chemists and health food stores at =A349.95
for a month's supply) and you do need to give it six months to see any
effects, which means a significant investment.
Talking of the hair follicle, it is im****tant to get enough iodine in
your diet by regularly eating foods such as fish (iodised salt gives
us this mineral, too). Iodine is essential for a healthy thyroid gland
which, when underactive, reduces activity of hair follicles and slows
the rate of hair growth."
I found some small gold mines around though.

"RYG: what kind of things could they take to make the lunch
interesting and healthy?
AU: With packed lunches it's im****tant to keep variety, so you're not
having the same old thing every day. There are so many types of bread
these days. You can have white, brown or granary bread. If you get fed
up with sandwiches you can try white or brown pitta bread. You can
have tortilla wraps and put your favourite filling inside. You can
have things like a pasta salad as well.
There are so many different types of basic carbohydrates you can have
to form the foundation of your packed lunch. Then you can have
protein, like meat, fish or eggs to go with it. Then have some veggies
like tomatoes or cu***bers. To make a packed lunch balanced you need
some fruit. Have an apple, a banana, or a satsuma.
Eat food that you enjoy, because if you don't like it you're going to
bring it home again, or swap it for something else. For a drink have
some fruit juice, or just some water. It's good to have something with
milk in it - maybe a yoghurt or fromage frais, because it's good for
your bones. That way you get a good balance.
=2E.What's im****tant in the long run is that you make sure you have
enough of the mineral called iron in your diet. Again studies have
shown that a lack of iron can cause poor concentration, and can
actually affect GSCE performance. You find iron in things like red
meat, eggs, some nuts and seeds and dark green vegetables. It's very
im****tant that you get enough of this nutrient..
=2E.AU: If you're still growing, you shouldn't go on a strict diet.
Sometimes you grow into your weight. If you're obviously carrying a
lot of extra weight, perhaps it's time to think carefully about
dealing with it. It's very im****tant not to go on a crash diet. You
should never cut out food groups and suddenly say 'I'm not having
dairy foods anymore, I'm not having meat anymore.' It's im****tant to
keep your intake balanced.."
"If you're not a veggie lover and you don't like those, don't bother
trying because some people genetically just don't like them. There's
no need to force yourself."
"Base your diet around healthy food, like ****ridge, pasta, bread,
things like that. Have lots of fruit and vegetables, and have a bit of
protein, such as meat, fish, eggs and milk. If you want something
sugary or fatty, only have it once a day"
"AU: If you come in from school and you haven't got time to make a big
meal, I would say beans on toast are brilliant. Things like boiled
eggs with a slice of toast, or peanut butter on toast"

Not All Dairy Is Taboo for Lactose Intolerant
By Amanda Ursell
May 06, 2002 in print edition S-3
The life of the lactose-intolerant person is also made easier by the
virtually lactose-free and reduced-lactose brands of milks; lactase
enzymes, available in drop or tablet form, that can be added to milk
before drinking; and lactase supplements, taken before a lactose-rich
meal.
The key to coping with lactose intolerance is to remember that for
most people it does not mean a life without milk. After some initial
trial and error, it is a relatively straightforward food intolerance
to manage successfully."
Here is part of her cleansing diet.. I'd hate to see the non-cleansing
version..
"Lethargic and bloated? Then try our three-day, no-pain cleansing diet
devised by Amanda Ursell. And to put a real spring in your step, carry
on for seven days after that.

DINNER

"Too much healthy eating is as bad for children as too much junk
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article3856699.ece?S=
ubmitted=3Dtrue
Amanda Ursell
But a significant pro****tion of our nation's children are worryingly
chubby and heading for potential obesity problems in later life, it
seems that others are suffering from =93muesli belt malnutrition=94: the
overzealous application of =93healthy eating=94 rules imposed on their
daily food intake. A recent study warns us that too much fibre and too
little fat can lead to vitamin deficiencies and stunts growth in the
under-fives.
This means that young children who have wholemeal bread, brown pasta
and piles of fruit imposed on them are getting too full too quickly
and do not have room for enough foods such as dairy products, meat,
eggs and fish, which have vital nutrients for growth and development.
So how do we strike a balance? Children thrive on a good variety of
foods, which includes grains and potatoes such as bread, pasta,
noodles, rice and all varieties of potatoes; calcium-rich foods such
as milk, yoghurt, fish canned with edible bones such as pilchards;
protein-rich foods such as eggs, chicken and turkey, red meat and
Quorn products; plus a variety of different fruit and vegetables. The
million-dollar question is how much should they have of each"
