Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 My cholesterol was in the 120 range when I did a low fat diet, but my HDL was also very low. As long as I'm eating some red meat and some healthy oil I stay in a little higher range. No gorging on sat fat and trans fat, just less paranoia about a little butter or ghee. The data I'm referring to was in the big study that recently showed that reducing cholesterol further reduced heart attack risk. We do have hemorrhagic stroke in my family, so it's a balancing act. The outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke are pretty devastating, so it really changes the risk/benefit decision. > In a message dated 8/16/2004 11:33:46 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > cherylhcmba@y... writes: > Another interesting point about hemorrhagic stroke is that risk > increases as cholesterol levels become extremely low which is very > possible for Type O.

The biggest challenge would be eating my greens. I know spinach causes oxalic acid when cooked and contributes to pain, which I'm trying to manage at the moment. Wouldn't the green powders suffice? My oil's of choice are flax and cod liver oil. Would these oil's be equal to EV olive oil and high-fat fish oil?

Fish oil is the only direct source of EPA and DHA and DMAE, all of them anti-inflammatory - so if anything they'd lessen pain. Cod liver will have some but a lot less than say salmon oil. EV olive has oleic acid, an omega 9 not in other oils, a strong antioxidant plus properties for anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing (by keeping cell level structures flexible and functioning). It helps fat metabolism and for a longer list of its benefits, there's several pages of it's benefits in Perricone's book.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 In the winter I started adding olive oil to my bath at night. I used to buy expensive bath oils to soak in because in the winter my skin gets very dry. The olive oil does the same thing as the expensive oils. It leaves a worse bathtub ring, but other than that, it works.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hello Sorry to hear about the stroke but hold on to hope. Back in 1996, one of our Engineers in Saudi Arabia had a stroke so I flew out there to cover for him. We got him to the point where we could fly him out to the States and get reasonable treatment. Initially he had a lot of speech problems and some motor skills problems but he improved quickly. He said it was like having to learn different ways of saying the same things and different ways to move. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the human brain is remarkaby resilient, yes the stroke has damaged yours but you can still hope that some function will return.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I don't think nonnies can have any vinegar, though I have heard of something like Ume Boshi Plum Vinegar that may be ok. Some use Vitamin C powder, or of course Lemon, lime, or grapefruit juice. Re: Stroke Don't know about the EVOO comparison, but the balsamic vinegar is an avoid.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Greetings all: I had an interesting day yesterday. I just got one bite out of my PB & J, when I saw my one-o’clock patient pull up. I was sitting at the front reception area studying a patient ledger; trying to figure out which services Farmer’s was avoiding paying for, and could not see my patient’s vehicle from my vantage point. Bill is a gregarious 73-year-old with “Dunlap’s Disease,” whom I have been following for many years. I became absorbed with reviewing the EOMB’s and several minutes had passed, but he did not come in. I figured he was probably finishing up some business of his own on his cellular phone. A few minutes later, I heard a rattling noise at my door, and I could see that Bill was having difficulty getting it open, because he was fumbling with a short cane. I dashed to the door, watched as he stumbled in and asked him what was up, thinking that he must have taken a fall and hurt his leg or something. He was veering to the left and said that he was having some difficulty with his balance since he got up this morning. He wanted me to adjust his stiff neck and ultrasound his sore left shoulder. I caught him as he was leaning toward the counter, almost knocking a plant off the end. I sat him down in the nearest chair, and knew immediately that he was in serious trouble. The left side of his face was drooped, his voice was slightly weaker and he was slurring his words a little more than usual. He was able to smile, raise his arms and wrinkle his brow, but it was a little asymmetric. Apparently, those tests don’t show much, unless performed during the onset of a stroke. I went out to the parking lot, pulled my truck up to the front door and drove him to Providence ER. They performed those same equivocal tests and ordered chest films and CAT scan. Apparently, the scan revealed some damage, as the attending physician told him that he had a stroke and that they would keep him for observation. He remains hospitalized and an MRI has been ordered today. I thank God that WSCC provided me the training to recognize such serious events, and that I choose to make full use of my training by providing patients a generalist approach with patient contact that lasts more than a few minutes. I don’t plan on making the cover of NCMIC’s malpractice newsletter any time soon! Cordially, Glenn Glenn F. Gumaer, B.S., D.C. Chiropractic Physician Northside Chiropractic Clinic 1240 N.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Good job. I don't know if you know this or not, but driving him to the hospital yourself would have been quite a bone of contention with your own carrier had anything fatal or if respiratory distress began in your truck. You would have been advised by your carrier to call an ambulance equiped for life support. Of course, I know it was a quick decision with good intentions and you probably got him their faster than the ambulance, etc. You did a good thing and it worked out.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 _____ They say if you e.mail this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue I will continue to forward this every time it comes around! STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would have be alive today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally.. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize thesymptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today.) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. I have done my part. Will you? -- http://mukulchaudhri.blogspot.comhttp://thewinningedge-solutions.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
