Hello, L33:
You might be aware that several other members had wonderful results while fasting but there was absolutely no food which did not cause a flare. After over a year of experimentation, one fellow found that he had increased heavy metal load, and I think chelation helped this but eventually the NSD worked.
I never thought that the several rounds of chelation I did to lower the inflammation during a severe flare might have had other benefits, but the diet did work for me but I chose to augment with antibiotics very early into my LSD/NSD.
While I don't have an adequate explanation as to why heavy metals might play some role, it is worth having an analysis; a naturopath should know how to do this properly.
HEALTH,
John
