G6PD Deficiency: Do Not Eat List

 Here are some food items I must avoid.

  • Fava Beans (Broad Beans):
  • Legumes: Legumes in general are g6pd foods to avoid. Like fava beans/broad beans, many other legumes can bring on a hemolytic response.
    • Kidney beans
    • Lima beans
    • Black beans
    • Refried beans
    • Lima beans
    • Kidney beans
    • Soybeans

    • Black & Green tea and their extracts
    • Blueberries

    • Garden eggs (Eggplant):
  • Sulfites

    • Sulfites can cause hemolysis in G6PD deficient persons. Sulfite foods include very common ones like dried fruits, wine, wine vinegar, pickled foods, shrimp and even trail mix.

      Many people besides those who have G6PDD have a sulfite sensitivity. The following foods taken from a WebMD list of sulfite containing foods and ingredients are good to avoid for g6pdd:

      • Baked goods
      • Soup mixes
      • Jams
      • Canned vegetables
      • Pickled foods
      • Gravies
      • Dried fruit
      • Potato chips
      • Trail mix
      • Beer and wine
      • Vegetable juices
      • Sparkling grape juice
      • Apple cider
      • Bottled lemon juice and lime juice
      • Tea
      • Many condiments
      • Molasses
      • Fresh or frozen shrimp
      • Guacamole
      • Maraschino cherries
      • Dehydrated, pre-cut, or peeled potatoes

    • Sulfur dioxide
    • Potassium bisulfite or potassium metabisulfite
    • Sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, or sodium sulfit
  • Packaged meat
  • Canned fish

  • Peanut containing foods
  • Vitamin K:Vitamin K3 may be tied with hemolytic anemia.
  • Artificial Blue Coloring: Blue food colorings like Toluidine Blue are dangerous for those with g6pd. All artificial dyes could be g6pd deficiency triggers.

Certain Chinese herbs like Rhizoma coptidis, Flos Ionicerae and Calculus Boris have been known to cause hemolytic responses in people with g6pdd. For more on Chinese herbs to avoid for g6pd deficiency, go here to see all the avoid herbs list

You know I was looking at Einstein's law in the past few days and the more I look at it the more I think there's a fundamental flaw in it. I mentioned this to Dr. Nithianada on Friday and he mentioned the fact that some other fellow have the same opinion. Well, I'm going beyond opinion to state a first stab at the solution: The Problem I observe is the "Limiting nature of the equation M = Mo/sqrt((c*c - v*v)) where M is mass at any given velocity v, c is the speed of light and Mo is rest mass. The above preclude any speed greater than the velocity of light! This places an upper bound on every thing in the universe given the inter relationship between mass, energy, speed and time. This if analysed will also place an upper bound on time, and consequently a lower bound. My postulations are these 1. Time has neither a lower nor an upper bound 2. Speed has neither a lower nor an upper bound 3. Temperature has neither a lower nor an upper bound 4. ...
