| Notes | Had stopped eating raw flax seeds/meal. Had been eating some sardines and some soy protein isolate. | 9.4% body fat Tests performed at employment Health Fair | Had been eating sucrose polyester to eliminate lipophilic toxins | Recurrent bleeding hemorrhoids while on low protein diet | Rib cartilage injured easily 6-15-98 | Lowered protein intake to 40 g/day 1-19-97 | ||||||
| I suspect that eating the raw flax since 1997 was responsible for the out-of-range red blood cell parameters. | Had not been eating soy protein isolate. Supper meals heavy on carbs (sweetpotatoes). | Increased daily protein (added 60 g whey/day) Dec 1998 | Significant platelet clumps 9-16-98 | Changed from very low fat diet to moderate fat, including flax and fish | ||||||||
| Family history indicates that I most likely have some degree of Factor V Leiden mutation, a clotting disorder | Hemorrhoids are gone after protein increase | Left shoulder cartilage injured easily 10-17-98 | ||||||||||
