Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Judy  Please keep the faith. I do know it is hard, especially with strokes and stuff that can harm us so much but this diet works!!!  Low magnesium, I am certain is the main cause of stroke. I say this because I have seen so very much about this on bees board and also, my dad used to have many mini strokes, and by husbands brain heamorhage was a form of stroke. I have both of them on the magnesium and since they have been taking it no more strokes for either of them  K2, from the butter also helps. If you want a superior version the Blue Ice Butter Oil capsules, or ghee are better and posher, but frankly I think butter, daily from grass fed cows or goats is enough.  Cod liver oil too, this helps with the stroke thing, and again Blue Ice do the fermented version. I do think the fermented version is better for folk with problems absorbing, but again this is more expensive, and so me I just take the Carlsons. I have my hubby and dad on the Carlsons  As you know all the supplements help with arteries, blood and so on so I will not go through them all, but one thing I will mention. Calcium from pasturised sources and lower quality supplements often come up as a possible cause of stroke. Bee is certain that the calcium citrate is the best of the lot, as am I, this is the supplement I use, but there are even better sources, one is ground eggshell (Bee has more about that on her site) and the bonebroth, and if you do use the bone broth you can cut back on the magnesium citrate too  What we need to do, regarding thesevery serious illnesses we know we have or we know could occur again in theory. What we need to do is spend a day pondering how how much knowledge we really really do have now.  And it is a heck of a lot!!!!!!  You see the mind does not easily move on from a traumatic event. If a person has had a stroke or something similar, for a long long time the memory keeps floating around the mind. We go over all the things thatmight have caused it and we live in this state for a long time. We do at the very same time learn much, just as we all here are doing, but we often do not move along with what we are learning, we kind of stay in the stroke (or what ever else has injured us) situation, and it becomes the most important thing. And we do not seethe progress we are making  Now I am not advocating ignoring the reality of the seriousness ofstrokes, I know full well how serious they are, but they are kind of a spontanious thing, they occur somewhat out of the blue, we have so little control over them really. And we need to recognise that.But what we also need to recognise is that we also, I mean us lot here at this site,have also been given an enormous gift of wisdom, something doctors, our friends and barely anybody out there has. We really have been given a gem with this diet and the things we are being told are true  Honestly, a goodlong day meditating on this very fact can have an enormous impacton ourinner confidence and in turn our healing progress to  A good one liner to begin our meditation, in the words of Austin Powers, is 'Its good to be me' LOL  You are going to be fine Judy, a good hug to yourself is a good remedy, and a reminder that things are very different now!!!!  Love Joanne   To: Fibromyalgia Support Group <Fibromyalgia_Support_Group >; fibromyalgiacured Sent: Saturday, 1 September 2012, 23:15 Subject: Problems again  I have been feeling worse and worse for the past couple of weeks. Last Saturday I was feeling bad enough to call the doctor’s office. I was told I could go to the hospital or see the doctor on Monday. I decided to wait until Monday. By Monday, though, I was feeling a little better, so I thought I’d wait it out. Every day then I kept feeling worse and worse. Yesterday, I woke up and could barely breath. I called the doctor’s office as soon as I woke up and they told me to come in for an EKG. Now, like most people with Fibromyalgia, I’m very sensitive to drugs. After I had my stroke they put me on several different drugs to help prevent me from having another one. I kept having bad reactions to all of them. Finally they found one that I didn’t react to right away, but they also told me it was the only drug that they had left that would help my condition. It also cost me $50 a month co-pay but that’s another story. This was in June. When I called, I told them I thought I was having a reaction to the drug. I also didn’t take my morning dose. When I got to the doctor’s office, they checked my blood pressure and it was a little high but not too bad. They did the EKG and it was alright. And then they weighed me. “I had gained 25 pounds since my visit on June 8th.†Of course my regular doctor was on vacation, but they had me wait to see another Cardiologist in the practice. When he came in he said he doubted it was the drug and then added that I was probably having Congestive Heart Failure. He prescribed me Lasix and Potassium. Well, I was feeling so bad, I didn’t argue with him, but it just didn’t sound right to me. I’d had all the heart tests possible in April and May and my heart was fine. So then I get to the store and go to pick up the prescriptions. Well, the nurse had made a mistake and she had called in the Potassium, but not the Lasix. And of course the doctor’s office was closed. And not only that, but this is a Holiday weekend and the office will be closed until Tuesday morning. So—I got to wondering if God was looking out for me better than the doctors were. I decided to not take my pill again last night and wait and see how I was feeling this morning. I’m happy to say, I was doing much better this morning, so I decided not to take my morning pill either. All day today, I have been gradually feeling better. In fact I’m feeling better than I have in weeks. So now “I†know for sure what was causing all my problems lately. It will be interesting to hear what they say when I call in on Tuesday and tell them I quit taking the drug.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yes, the stroke really scared me. I think it scared my husband though, even more than it did me. Fortunately they said it was a small one to begin with and then it split into three. It affected my left hemisphere so I had problems with my right side and with speaking. I seem to have come out of it pretty well though as I don’t notice any permanent problems. As for the magnesium, since I had gastric bypass at one time, I am usually careful to take my supplements. However, after the stroke I did double the amount I was taking of the Magnesium. Thanks for the information. And a hug to you too.
