Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 this is awesome, Bindi! thanks for sharing - you really are taking charge of your health. freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: and Lynn, I know what you mean about aches and pains and all the other evils. I am a little over one year post explant and pain has lingered with me more than anything else.

I have done a considerable amount of research on them and in general, they all positively impact the body's cells, helping to strengthen and process energy better. The magnesium/calcium ratio is different than what most people take, but there is evidence that fibromyalgics need more mag-- you can read more about this here: http://stuff.mit.edu/people/london/magnesium.html . You also may need vitamin D, if you don't live in a sunny clime and get out every day. Exercise REALLY must be a part of the program. If you can't do much, try and walk half an hour every day. A big part of fibro symptoms come from lack of circulation. The other supplements I take are as follows: Inositol 1,000 mg(mood stabilizer and according to Kolb, helps process silicone out of the body) A good multi Benfotiamine (helps stabilize blood sugar) Reseveratrol, 300 mg ( a potent antioxident from grapes) Decaf Green Tea extract, 2 caps(many health benefits) Gotu Kola caps, 4 per day(good for brain cell repair) Maitake mushroom caps, 4/day(many general health bennies) Reishi mushroom caps, 4/day( many health bennies) Ashwaganda caps, 4/day (good for cell repair and to restore energy) Tumeric powder, 1 teaspoon in carrot juice (helps inflammation) Modified Citrus Pectin, two teaspoons/day(for heavy metal chelation) 5-htp, 50 mg, at night I powder my herbs and cap them myself. I also eat a very clean diet with lots of fruits and vegies. I know this is a long list, and not everyone will want to take this many supplements. I am not 100% recovered, but my pain, energy levels and other difficulties are greatly improved. Bindi Access over 1 million songs - Music Unlimited.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi Bindi, Thank you so much for the list. At the moment I stopped everything I was talking and am starting from scratch. I need to start slow because I react to a lot of things. Any suggestion on what you would start with first to help with the brain fog? although the neck pain is really bad right now I really need to be albe to concentrate for work. Do you follow a specific diet like the Makers Diet or just your own thing? Do you juice a lot? I felt like juicing was making me spacy but it could have been anything. You seem really informed on the things you are trying. I saw you were taking the guaifenesin how did that go? Do you think there is any value in avoiding saliclyates? Do you make sure there is no silica/silicone in supplements ect? I realized that my body cream had silica in it and now I was afraid to use it. I really appreciate your feedback.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I don't need anything that will make me feel more spacey so I think I'll skip the guai. However I will try the other supplements you recomended. I have a copy of the Makers Diet also given to me as a promotion. It does sound reasonable. Thanks again for all your information. It really makes a big difference having other people to speak with who are in the same place. Lynn > > > > and Lynn, > > I know what you mean about aches and pains and all the other > evils.
