JPF Home Page Forums General Messages General Message Forum A Happy Songwriter/Musician is a Healthy Songwriter/Musician!

Far too often I read about dear friends here experiencing health problems ranging from a cold that is a nuisance to serious problems and debilitating disorders. Let me preface this by saying I am not a doctor, and I'm not here to preach. Rather I would like to use this thread as a place where we can simply share with each other some valuable information that may help one another relating to health. I will let this thread take itself where it wants to go and will occasionally add things. I have thought about this for awhile and after reading John Shick's good news over on the Success Forum (which I hope you'll read) I decided there's no time like the present.

Please feel free to share any health/diet related idea/information that may help someone. We can get serious, keep it loose, and even throw in a few jokes (laughter is the best medicine) etc. cause afterall, "we're all in this together".

Best of health for health is wealth,

I'll start with this. Received recently and found it interesting...what do you think, alittle too good to be true or not? (please though I have read somewhere that giving honey to a baby can be dangerous)

Cinnamon and Honey - Whoever thought?

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize". When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:

It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon, as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply it on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, when they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heartbeat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily (morning and night) one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder..

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from its root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that when Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacterial and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old..

RASPY OR SORE THROAT:

When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone. Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water. When done daily for two weeks, it removes all pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder three times a day for one month .

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Psoriasis is an immune disorder that affects the skin. I take zinc, that works somewhat but doesn't do the whole job.

Sometimes medical help is needed.

I have trouble just spelling Psoriasis!!

Rub banana peel on psoriasis.

Dr. Joel Wallach is known as The Mineral Doctor. He found that most people die of mineral deficiencies. He cites a 1936 Senate document that reported the soils where food had been grown for decades, even a century, had depleted much of the mineral content. Plants can't make minerals. They have to find them in the soil. If they can't then the fruit or vegetable will not have the mineral content it did when someone measured it long ago and put it in a book. Almonds should have lots of calcium. If humans have been harvesting the almonds away from the area year after year for many years, the calcium doesn't recycle into the soil. We haul fruits, vegetables, leaves, stems, seeds, roots, away from the soil, carrying the minerals away. Take a mineral supplement.

Most diseases plaguing Americans are diet-related. Obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, hardening of the arteries (copper keeps tissues flexible), high cholesterol. These diseases come from poor nutritional intake, and poor elimination of wastes.

Many substances sold to you as food should not be eaten. You need to study a bit to see what they are, and stop putting them in your mouth. At the same time you can figure out what you ARE going to eat for the rest of your life.

Refined carbohydrates, sugars and starches refined away from the fiber Mother Nature bound them to, flood into your bloodstream, needing no digestion. If you eat an apple the fiber carries some of the sugars through you without getting it into your bloodstream.

Refined (fiberless) sugars will go right through your tongue into your blood. Your body detects them and your tiny pancreas tries to respond to the flood with a flood of insulin. It's designed by nature to respond to natural quantities of sugar, not manmade floods of sugar. It gets damaged in the process, so it can't produce enough. Your cells get overdosed so they can't take any more. They're not burning the energy they already have stored so they don't need any more.

Insulin, a powerful hormone, goes around the body giving orders. One order is for your liver to produce cholesterol for storing the excess energy potential of the carbohydrates. Some 80% of cholesterol in your bloodstream came from your liver. But your doctor tells you to cut down on eggs and bacon, instead of cookies and candy. Doc will sell you pills for cholesterol that don't cure you. You take them the rest of your life.

Insulin causes cells in artery walls to swell up, closing the opening, so your heart has to work harder to pump through the smaller opening, high blood pressure. Blood pressure pills don't cure you. They just fool the doctor when he tests you. You're still sick. You'll take pills until you die if you don't cure yourself by knowing what's really wrong.

Cholesterol sticks in the narrowed openings of arteries. Plaque buildup can get infected and erupt into the blood, sending a clot to your heart. The plaque and swelling hardens the artery, so it is inflexible, prone to aneurysm. Copper keeps tissues flexible, if you can find it in your diet. Cashews were once measured as being a copper source, but are they still? Or have they exhausted the supply in the soil where they grow?

Cancer grows in the absence of oxygen. Dr. Paul Warburg got two Nobel Prizes for proving it. Acidic blood and tissues expel oxygen. Calcium neutralizes acid. Deliberately oxygenating yourself with deep-breathing can be beneficial. Getting acidic foods out of your diet can help. Some acids are good. Phosphoric acid in soda pop probably isn't. In the 1980's white (refined) sugar prices went up. The tobacco companies that kill 435,000 Americans each year, year after year, took over the food companies in the 1980's. They switched to high fructose corn syrup. It is fiberless corn starch, treated with enzymes, powerful substances like hormones, giving orders, making things happen. How those enzymes behave when you eat the syrup made with them is unknown. Do they keep giving orders?

Then, between 1980 and 2000, diabetes increased 60%. Connection? Cause and effect? But it didn't just increase among the usual adult population, which doctors called 'adult onset' diabetes, a disease that hit people about age 30. It became epidemic among teenagers, great consumers of the substances loaded with white, fiberless sugar, white, fiberless flour, and high fructose corn syrup.

A company promoting a diabetes testing device had a three-year old child praising the less painful device. No one asked how a 3-year old became diabetic. Diabetes isn't a germ. It's not a gene. You didn't get it from your momma and daddy, unless they ate and fed you the substances that cause it. It's a diet-related disorder. It's caused by the substances you put in your mouth that someone sold you as food, but it's not food. It's toxic, in unnatural qualities and quantity.

The tobacco/food companies put high fructose corn syrup in everything, hot dogs and sausage, chips and buns, soda pop and cookies and candy, cole slaw and baked beans, ketchup, salad dressing. Read the labels. You'll see it. You won't have to read labels the rest of your life. You'll read them a few times before it settles in on you that it's always going to read the same. I read that licorice package a half dozen times. Although, if enough people reject the toxic products the sellers may start making them food-worthy again. I got some ketchup at K-Mart the other day that had half-inch letters declaring "NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP".

You have to move your body, make demands of your muscles and skeleton, to keep them strong and coordinated. You have to make demands of your cardio-vascular system, making heart and lungs work together.

Experiments with monkeys are finding lower caloric intake leads to longer life. Portion control, eating less, is being found to be very beneficial in weight loss.

Dr. Atkins' diet, not a diet to go on and then back off, but a lifestyle change. I remember reading his book and noting that I was 36 pages in and hadn't got the how-to yet. But you can learn how to do it. His recommendation was proven in about 1972 when he came out with it. Millions of people lost millions of pounds. They proved his dietary recommendations in reverse when they went back to the lifestyle they'd lived before, eating the high carbohydrate, fiberless sugar and starch concoctions being sold to them as food. They gained the weight back.

Then, in the 1990's, the U.S. government and the American Medical Administration admitted he had been right, and they had been wrong about their low-fat recommendations. People got fatter and sicker and died in epidemic numbers trying to go low fat. The news coverage of this new 'blessing' of Atkins got millions of people to again prove Atkins was right, losing, and then regaining millions of pounds.

People say, "That diet is dangerous." First I ask, "How dangerous is the diet you're on? Obese? Diabetic? High blood pressure and taking pills that destroy your liver? Cholesterol, and pills that destroy your liver? And still 'sick', living sicker and dying younger?

The main ingredient in Atkins' recommendation is avoiding the fiberless carbohydrates, the unnatural concentrations of sugars and starches that become sugars that cause the complex of diseases killing you. You eat protein, meat, eggs, nuts, and vegetables raw, salads, cooked vegetables, and even some sweet fruits in moderation.

You can have a cookie now and then. Not now at 9 a.m., and then at 10 a.m., but now on Monday, and then next Tuesday. You can't eat the whole sleeve of cookies, the whole pie, the whole quart of ice cream. But a couple times a month you can have some treat like that.

Atkins specifies foods to eat in the 14-day induction diet, putting the body into a state of ketosis, burning body fat to supply its demands for energy. You can't eat any carbohydrates in that induction period or it will interrupt the process.

After the induction diet (2 wks) you can add back some of the foods you've been avoiding, fruits perhaps, in moderation, and the body will continue burning fat. You can't stay in ketosis or you'll begin to burn muscle after the fat is gone. But you never go back to gobbling cookies and cake and pie and candy, you know, like you do now. LOL

They may have a website. You need to know how to do it. One girl thought you only ate beef. Her bowels locked up. People ask, "Can you eat all the meat you want?" No. That's not the diet. Meat is part of the diet, but not the whole diet. If you do it right, you can break your addiction to sugar/starch, lose weight, and begin to develop a lifestyle you can live with.

So check out Atkins, check out Wallach, the mineral doctor, and start figuring out the lifestyle of how you're going to live the rest of your life. The old saying is true, "If you've got your health, you've got everything."

Hi Lynn

Thanks for the remedies ! --- I LIKE honey and cinnamon anyway !!

and while you are straightening out your your diets....... take multivitamins that have minerals............. more than needed seems to get disposed by the body

Dr. Joel Wallach, The Mineral Doctor, told an interesting story about vitamins. After a talk he gave, a man came up and said he owned a porta-potty business, supplying toilets for outdoor events. They set them up and come back and pick them up, siphoning out the waste and transporting them back to their shop. At the shop they hose them out, to clean them for their next event.

Since kids throw rocks in the toilets, and people drop things in accidentally, they put a grate over the drain where they hose them out.

He explained that he often finds vitamin pills on the grate. These pills have passed through the digestive tracts of those using the toilets.

"How do you know that's what they are?" Wallach asked.

"Because I can read the names on them," the porta-potty man explained, and named some of the brands. Wallach visited the shop where he was shown a small mound of pills.

So these have passed through the digestive tract and lain in a toilet and are still undissolved to the point where their names are no longer legible. How much vitamin benefit did the 'buyer/consumer' get out of them before they ended up in the toilet?

LAUGHTER is the best medicine!

Pass the Honey, "Honey"... and tell me that joke again about the guy eating cinnamon toast when he slipped on a banana peel!

Hey everybody! This has been really good reading. I don't have any remedies to add but I agree, laughter really is good medicine.

Well,
For as long as I can remember, (No Jokes Please) I have heard eat a blanced meal of Fruit, Meat, and Vegtables. And I am sure that is still the best advice. There is almost always a good selection of everything at the local Grocrey so no need to skimp.

I have learned over time that several maladies--such as anxiety, bad moods, and even boredom--can be cured by having sex.

You're welcome.

Most all of it can be cured by locating who to sleep with to get OUT of the music business. All of these maladies are related to the music industry or pursuit thereof. Run away! Run Away! Before it is too late.

My wife Sandra has been taking two 2,000 mg capsules of cinnamon daily (for the last three weeks). She has Type 1 diabetes. "Cinnamon may lower blood glucose" - Diabetic Living Mag. She'll need more time to test it out, but the last two weeks her blood sugar has been lower than normal. Sometimes too low. Which, if it continues lower, she'll be able to take less insulin.

The bible says you should rest you land every seven years and grow no crop in it. How many commercial farmers follow this advice. Some farmers down south get two or three crops of certain vegetables a year off the same ground. I know that ground don't get depleted of minerals.

[Insert obligatory self-medication quip here.]

Lots of jokesters, pokesters, funny folksters here but that's fine!

Now Gary on the banana peel.... I'm assuming you mean the inside of the peel and I figured since it does a great job of protecting the banana, perhaps there is some magical minerals, molecules, microbes that are contained therein...tell us more. Ben will have to give it a whirl.

Ray I hear you about the good old fashioned "eat right be right" philosophy, but on the eating meat part, I think meat was good before we started feeding antibiotics to the cattle so they wouldn't get sick thereby we are eating antibiotics which builds up a tolerance to antibiotics when we really do need them medicinally. Also meat was okay before we injected food dye to make it look good and hormones. HOWEVER, there is meat sold that is hormone/antibiotic/dye free if you search.

John that's great about your wife, I wonder if the capsules work the same as far as the blood sugar leveling benefit as much as pure cinnamon right out of the jar/can would? Might research that, although she is getting the desired result already so perhaps the capsules are equally therapeutic.

Everett I had heard that also and kind of interesting how the ground should rest on the 7th year. Got me thinking how God rested on the 7th day of Creation and we're supposed to rest on the 7th day of the week, and He certainly knows what He's talking about.

Here's some interesting statistics on alcohol. The average ounce of vodka contains 65-70 calories. The average alcoholic drink contains 1.5 ounces (shot glass). So the average drink contains roughly 100 calories, not counting the mix. Let's say you have 4 cocktails every Friday & Saturday night. That's at least 800 calories per weekend. In the course of a year, that adds 41,600 calories to your intake. Here's the fun part: you have to burn off 3,500 calories to lose one measily pound. In this example, you are putting on the equivalent of 11.88 pounds per year, a lot of which goes directly to your stomach. Keep it up for a few years -- well, I'll leave that to your imagination. Apropos Mark's comment, I have noted that I'm more attractive to the ladies after they've had a few.
Ott

I'm going to blow my image out of the water, but I work out at the gym 2 hours a day to burn off the calories I drank the night before, not to mention sweat out the poison, so I can start over again.As you can see by my avatar, I waited a few years {and 20,000 beers}too many to start working out.

Things I've learned from this thread so far - Everything I do is wrong.

Using Otts calculations (thank you sir!), this Pepsi I'm drinking has 250 calories. If I drink an average of 1 per day for a year, which would be about right, then I consume 91,250 calories. Essenailly that means I'm putting on 26 lbs per year just through Soda.

Wow.

One of the great questions I've asked myself is this:

If I have a few beers at a bar, make a new friend and then do some *ahem* "exercise" later that night, do I work off enough calories to make up for the beer I drank?

Thats an experiment I want to be a part of.

"John that's great about your wife, I wonder if the capsules work the same as far as the blood sugar leveling benefit as much as pure cinnamon right out of the jar/can would? Might research that, although she is getting the desired result already so perhaps the capsules are equally therapeutic" - Lynn

Should be identical Lynn. However, by using capsules one can be sure of getting the desired amount (1,000/2,000 mg per capsule). Also, Sandra doesn't like the taste of cinnamon so the capsules are easier for her to take. I know she's weird. The only person I know that doesn't like the taste of cinnamon.

Still can't be sure if the cinnamon is beneficial to Sandra. There are other factors to consider. Have to go through a couple vials of insulin first. The potency of the insulin varies. Her physical activities vary. Her stress levels vary. Her food sources vary – etc…

As far as my migraine cure; it’s been two solid months today without a migraine or headache. That’s pretty conclusive evidence considering I was fighting headaches every day prior to this. I think once in the past I went 3 days without a migraine. But two months! I’m delirious!

Best, John

Here you go John: http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/l/blcalorieburn.htm

If you burn off the same amount of calories that you take in, you'll not gain an ounce. Similarly; if you burn off more calories than you take in you'll lose weight - and visa versa.

John

I love that they have watching TV on there as an option. Unfortunately they are missing the "sitting on your fat a** in front of a computer all day," and the "working out with the person you brought back from the pub who is not nearly as good looking as you think she is" opntions.



On a more serious note - that is actually a great tool! Nice find man, thanks!

Here's my gripe. How can a doctor prescribe an addictive narcotic for pain and not be liable when the patient becomes addicted to the drug when taken as prescribed? When the addicted person can no longer afford to go to the doctor for a refill, they break the law to get the drug that was first prescribed legally by the doctor.

So many people are now addicts. It angers me that these people are being arrested for breaking the law to feed an addiction that they never asked for.

My best friend told me about a diet a girl she knows is on: All raw foods...including RAW MEAT! Yes, this woman grows her own cattle and eats the beef RAW! Raw eggs are included in the diet as well...along with raw veggies and fruits. No alcohol. She's in her fifties and looks 32.

I have Scleroderma so I look young anyway! I drink enough wine to be happy and not kill my kids, and drink water all day. I am on a diet right now that consists of: High fiber oatmeal in the a.m. with two egg whites, a salad for lunch, and a protein the size of my palm and large veggie serving for dinner. This is what a certain swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated did. I'm not out to be a swimsuit model, but I do have to front an all female band, so, 30 lbs. has to come off!

Hopefully you'll be able to follow Mark & John's paths.

If laughter is medicine here's the world's funniest joke.

Please read my friends. This is true and interesting....:)

EAT LOTS OF SWEET POTATOES - quite interesting indeed!!


It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish...All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Hi All,

Wow, what a thread Lynn, I'd be here all night if I read through all of them.

Well I've been having lots of problems with my hormones, up and down, hot flushes, not sleeping, effecting my speech, my bowles, and all the rest.

So two months ago I went into the health store in town, and I was telling the lady, I was in heaps of pain with my muscles, (Over done it moving house) cruel, I've got lots of torn muscles from car accidents that I've been in, and the lady gave me Organic Magnesium Complete (It helps relax body and mind, also for muscular tension & cramps, and also for stress and anxiety. She then gave me a bottle of Natural fish oil, and since I've been taking them, my bowels are working better, my speech is not effected, I feel so much clearer in my mind, it's amazing. As to my muscle pain, it hasn't got rid of all the pain I'm in, because that is my own fault, even with my injuries, I don't lay down and complain about the pain, I just keep going, yep I work to hard.

I also believe in taking Garlic & horseradish, or Garlic and Echinachea, I haven't had the flu since I've been taking them, so I can recommend that they work too.

Hugs Michele
