Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 My partner, who is a yoga teacher, and who is herself hyper-sensitive to many things, has the theory that it is very tight muscles and tendons that cause the grinding of bones and subsequent arthritic pain. The answer she claims is to mix a quarter teaspoon of sunflower lecithin (which is a brown paste) with organic flaxseed oil. The trouble is finding a good source of sunflower lecithin - the only place she can find sells it in 25 kilo lots. If anyone can find better sources we'd be interested to know. Lecithin made from soya or eggs doesn't work (well, not for her). We're in the UK.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Why is the muscle spasming/inflammed? Nutrtional deficiencies? Possibly. Lack of electrolytes? Calcium deficiency? (Main ingredient in the night leg cramp formulations.). Possibly. More likely something mundane like overuse/overload or lack of preventive maintenance of the muscles & system. What kind of stretches, maintenance do you do getting ready for a day's work/experience to prevent such occurrences from happening?. (Life is a physical experience. Even just from the 24/7 of gravity.) What do you do to minimize spasming/inflammation after a day's work? What about before/after exercise/physical recreation/activities? Had this been bothering you for some time, sending you signals of discomfort? Do you have a daily stretching program for your body, including feet? Do you use daily hot pack/cold pack treatments? What did you do to keep the situation for getting worse before it did or was it tolerated until it couldn't be? Everyday that your muscles work, they build up stress, physical as well as chemical. If you don't do something everyday to negate it, it will layer. Imagine a bath tub used everyday. What kind of build up would there be in a week? a month? a year? " Yech! " . Its no less inside the body, including the muscles. Now, what have you done to get rid of your build up? Have you done enough to keep from overloading? The arch support works like support hose, it takes the pressure off so the muscles can relax. If the situation is about spasm, relaxation will help. If its about inflammation, it won't. Be aware that an arch support too long is like using a crutch too long. It can lead to dependance. Better to ask why your muscles can't do what they're supposed to: Lack of strength, flexibility, endurance or maintenence? All of the above? Combination of ingredients? This will lead to proper solutions/direction. You can't put it on supplements if its operator error! lol! -richard, l.m.t.- P.S. There's an outfit out of Germany that makes arch supports out of spring steel. The flexibility is astounding! --- On Fri, 6/26/09, Michael traster <michaelpault wrote: I would be thinking that it has a possibility of being plantar fasciitis... I'd look into: getting an arch support over the counter like the ones made by spenco... THEY'RE ABOUT 20 BUCKS and often work better than the custom made 400 dollar ones which are too rigid and cause more tissue compression which can reduce blood flow and worsen the problem. ..

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Wednesday, October 14, 2009 7:08:42 pm " JdB " <jackdaw123 << >> (unknown) Since Dr. Levy's studies show that Liposomal C is ten times more effective that Vitamin C IV's why wouldn't that be the way to go. Even if you buy the packaged type rather than making your own I think it would be very much less expensive and probably more effective. Then there is Dr, Berkson' s study for Hepatitis C which had results follows: Here is what a doctor in New Mexico used to cure Hep C patients.It should be good too.PATIENT 1: Mrs. M.P. is a 57-year-old woman who acquired hepatitis C after a blood transfusion during surgery about 10 years ago. She did not eat a nutritious diet and did not live a very healthy lifestyle at that time. About 5 years ago, she became very fatigues and nauseous, and was diagnosed with non-A, non-B hepatitis. She was treated with conventional therapies and continued to degenerate into a poorer state of health. About 3 years ago she was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C. cirrhosis, portal hypertension. esophageal varcies, and thrombocytopenis, and treated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi Dave, I hope it is ok to add something to your question to Alobar. I have found what really satisfies hunger are fats. Of course we want healthy fats. We need lots of omega 6 in our diet and it can be found in nuts and seeds. It is the omega 6's that bring oxygen to your tissues. Eating nuts seed, avacados, and olive oil can be very satisfying. There are couple of factors that you have to consider when choosing oils. Oils need to be bipolar and free of mold. Unfortunately almost all foods that are high in fats will lose their polarity once they are extracted and all can easily moldy after harvesting. Nuts in their shells last longer and vacuum sealing nuts can protect them. I have found aevincent.com to be a good place to nuts and nut butters. Hurley Farms brand has a good olive oil. My diet is mostly vegetables, seeds, nuts and fruits. I find it very satisfying.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 On the coconut oil information list is a health consultant named Duncan Crow. I have learned a lot from him. Many people who avoid milk do so because they can't handle casein or lactose. Whey protein isolate has no casein and very little lactose. If money is no object, immunocal is recommended by the Physician's Desk Reference. I cannot afford immunocal. I use NOW brand whey protein isolate, which is a lot cheaper (especially if bought by the 10 pound bag). I put whey into vegetable smoothies. I also mix with water and drink it. If one takes in whey daily, and supplement with Selenium, one boosts one's glutathione levels. Glutathione is the master anti-accident. One cannot take glutathione pills because it is destroyed by digestion. Whey + Selenium boosts glutathione levels. I used to eat meat a lot, but my teeth can no longer handle meat because I ruined them with sugar while younger. Now I get my protein from whey and liquid salad smoothies. Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils on earth. When I became diabetic and got rid od most carbs, I began to lose muscle mass because my body was catabolizing protein to make carbs for energy. When I started using coconut oil daily, the muscle wasting stopped. The medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil can be turned into energy by the body so it does not need carbs. Coconut oil is also very satisfying. I get no hunger pains when taking several ounces of coconut oil per day. I drink a pint of salad smoothie, twice a day and coconut oil once a day. I also add inulin fiber into the smoothie. It bulks it up nicely. Difficult to get too much fiber. Omega 3 oils are crucial. Flaxseed and hempseed have omega 3s but NOT essential omega 3s. Fish oil has essential omega 3s.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Fructose is not real healthy. Honey is fructose. Being diabetic I don't use honey at all. In moderation honey probably won't do harm. Why honey from China? Alobar On Fri, Jan 8, 2010 at 5:53 PM, Dave Hermanson <moonphishwrote: > Alobar, > > What do you think about raw honey?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I use unflavored gelatin in my veggie smoothies and also in my stewed chicken. I stew the chicken in a crockpot with apple cider vinegar to leach minerals out of the bones and to get cartilage into the soup.
