Nutritional Advice for Thal Minors
Andy Battaglia:
Raw beets have more vitamins that cooked. If they are cooked, it is best to steam for no longer than 15 minutes, as the longer beets cook, the more nutrients are lost.
Follow the instructions on the wheatgrass product you use. It can vary greatly from brand to brand. Powder or tablets made from the juice require a smaller dose than wheatgrass that is made from the grass itself.

In Feb-2017 I hd uric acid of 6.8. However, I started B12 shots that comprised cynacobalamin 500mcg, folic acid 1.5mg and nicotinamide 100mg. Alternate day one 2ml shot.
After taking 4 shots, I had discomfort on kidneys.
After taking 5 shots, kidney pain continued and uric acid had shot to 9.
What I suspect, the nicotinamid in the B12 shot may have shot the uric acid to 9 in 12 days time.

Seeing a high uric acid of 9, doctor prescribed Febuxostat 40mg tablet to me and the game changed completely.
Febuxostat was replaced with Allapurinol drug and that did not help me either.
Uric acid stands 10.0 today.
Doctor is insisting that some drug (Febuxostat or Allapurinol) to control uric acid maybe required 1 tablet once a day or 1 tablet alternate day.

Andy Battaglia:
Papaya is very good for the spleen. I mentioned in another post that muskmelon juice is also supposed to help shrink the spleen size. The foods you are giving are all very nutritious. This is how the entire diet should be, only nutritious foods.

Hi Andy,
Is this nutritional advice for both alpha and beta Thal Minors? Is there any special thing I have to know regarding alpha minors?
Cheers,
Cris
