Why aren't you eating healthy?

[ChickenTacos]

You DO know that healthy eating not only increases your life, it also increases your quality of life, right? So, why do you continue to consume that which causes physical AND mental harm, damage, and stress to you? What is keeping you from simply eating healthy?

[Enigmatic]

Sorry to hear,
Have you tried lots of coconut oils?
You may have to add supplements to break down LDH.
Anything that might help bolster your myelin sheath.

You could try kava or magnesium. Tulsi, lavender, peppermint as well. For sleep california poppy can help. A spoonful of raw cacao to test the effect, if the pain and spasms are tension oriented. On the other hand, muscle tension usually exists for a reason, and forcefully relaxing it can worsen a given biomechanical (eg gait and posture) or nerve impingement issue. It's in spasm because it's maligned and and the bundles of mechanoreceptors around it have started to fire to protect surrounding structures from injury.

I tried most of them and most of them have bugger all effect for me.
Peppermint does have some effect for spasms in digestion, but that's it. Had those prescribed for a while but stopped them.
Lavendar, tulsi and a few other things were of absolutely no use.

Raw cacao similarly does nothing for such pains.

Then I would say my pain is sever enough as it's spinal, to be requiring permanant opiates every day. This is just something I do on top to keep a finger on the extra stuff.

The only other thing that comes to mind, other than physical therapy, a good chiropractor, osteopathy and so on, which I'm sure you looked into, would be the gabapentin-like drugs. Phenibut being an example. Though I don't recommend it at all for a number of reasons, it can greatly reduce pain perception and the related conditioned responses which come from the expectation of pain. Self hypnosis is another method, you can greatly suppress or ignore pain perception for a while, though there are other functional deficits induced by remaining in that sort of low grade trance state. Not a perfect solution either, but certainly workable if needed.

Nah, none of them are any use or much.

Gabapentin isn't suitable as the tramadol does a better job. I have taken them but again they don't do anything much to me.

Tramadol is especially good at spinal problems and pain. Not just generally. So nothing's improved on it.

Coconut oil is another one that does nothing for me. These are proabbly one of things like those others I mentioned where if you have REALLY MILD pain it might cause an effect, for nothing like this.

I wouldn't touch a chiropracter (not in the US sense, as they're snake oil). I have a physio I can book from time to time when I get my GP to get an appointment.

Thankfully as I'm British our NHS is bloody good for this. I can request and get what I want at any time and no cost.

I've read articles about people that crush up and snort vitamin B12 instead of cocaine. It's still dangerous, but, it can give you a safer energy boost than cocaine.

[ChickenTacos]

Not that I do cocaine or anything like that, of course, hahahahaa!!

Lol, no. but that's funny.

It's that chiropracters in the US are quacks or that's the rep they have.

Here in Brtain we have some pretty stiff regulation about such things. Anyone that is regulated and practices such things usually falls under the physicotherapist mantle.

Is it just me or does it seem like what constitutes "healthy" seems to change yearly? One year red meat is out, then it's in. Brown rice is better then white, then it's not. Sugar is bad, but now alternatives might be worse. It seems like nobody can ever make up their minds on what eating healthy actually entails. Some things we can reasonably agree on I'm sure. Like you shouldn't walk out to your fridge, grab a stick of butter and eat the whole thing. Or have a dozen donuts a day.

Sounds like capitalism to me, bruv.

Maybe. Or maybe the eggheads don't know as much as they would like to believe they do. Either way, we've seen their advice and statements get reversed so many times it's a wonder why anyone gives much weight to their opinions at this point. Be it skewed intentionally, or otherwise.

A person should pursue truth and the absolute, but keep an open mind. A person should almost never do what everyone else is doing, these things usually turn out to be wrong or harmful. Trends are easy to recognize.

If a person can tie things to the absolute, they have a foundation to work from. eg, don't each such and such if it's high in oxalates and your body can't handle it. Don't eat seed oils because they're hot pressed and rancid (oxidized), full of pesticides, and have highly unbalanced omega 3,6,9 ratios. Red meat is fine as long as it isn't charred or fried in the aforementioned oils, the role of neu5gc and various other compounds is still out, and may even be that humans have a genetic deficiency. Eating butter is probably fine so long as you aren't gluten sensitive and thus also likely reactive to A1 dairy. Sugar is fine in moderation, the primary issue is that it's an antionutrient that depletes your B-vitamins and can feed yeast overgrowth, and don't have issues with epilepsy or the liver as fructose has to go through fructo9lysis in the liver. Alternatives are also fine in moderation, eg date, coconut, agave, etc, but a person should be mindful of intake and the fructose content when in the absence of fiber. No one should be eating donuts because modern oils and wheat are basically poison.

All of this is old information, not much changes other than getting clearer in how bad it really is. If people stop riding the waves and apply some common sense, they'll see through these trends. Also if you're aware of aerial spraying of nanometals and microplastics, you'll know anything grown above ground, especially leafy greens, will be peppered full of this stuff and some of it increases production of oxalates and other stress factors, lowers nutrient concentrationa nd bioavailability, and is going to go into you when you eat it.

I don't think they believe they know anything. Most of it is paid for and either economically motivated (perverse subsidies) or fabricated for other reasons (degrading your ability to function and softening you up for manipulation).
