new to group - MTX works well

February 20, 2005

Hi all...

I have controlled and shown many conditions to elliminate themselves

and any signs of them from my blood tests. Lowering carbs and

sticking with lean protein meats, vegtebles and natural fruits for my

sourch of natural carbs only, combined with daily exercise has helped

me tremendously with health issues. I lost 45 lbs in 6 months and my

breathing went from 65% to 100% normal. After 3 years of acid reflux

also, I no longer have needed to take the " purple pill, Prilosec " for

the last 2 years. Also went from a high reading of sugar two years

ago to no traces of its ellivation on blood tests. Had fractures,

softening of heel bone, and that has hardened back with no sharp pain

while walking anymore. I am not a phisician, but I can tell you if

you get rid of the sugars from candy & pop, no bread, no potatoes, no

rice & noodles, ...read food labels and understand them, you too can

see many signs improve for you as well. Digestion improves also,

elliminating these 'starchy carbs' and replacing them with easier to

digest natural carbs from fruits and vegtables.

I am still fighting the arthitis, and it is a tough fight, as you all

are aware. I hope to learn many things from this group in this

area. I also hope to help as many on this list who have similar

health issues, in the exchange of information. Sit ups from a bench

with a Temperpedic pillow for the tale bone, arm curls, push ups,

treed mill, etc in a daily regiment has helped me too. 6, 2.5 MTX

tabs per week helps me substansially, built up from 3 tabs, soon to

reduce these back down. Enbrel combination & Celebrex is part of

this equation, yet I don't know if I would have the confidence with

these drugs without the diet and exercise. Hope all of you get some

improvement, stay positive and keep working at it.....

Dan
