An interesting thing about pain, calcium, whey + stuff
 
I was working on this page before my lights were shut off on San Isidro Day... April 4. And since I've gotten my solar in I haven't had time to finish everything that got left in the lurch...

But, I did think that it was interesting that an amino acid was discovered to be needed to... I forget....

here's my page about pain, calcium, whey... and nerve sheaths...

Thank you to everyone who looked at my Pain page. :)

I was so hoping someone would have some feedback. :)

Please allow me to give feedback.

Not only is it well written but what struck me from the beginning is the way you put colors and backgrounds and mix up the colors. It's easy on the eyes (my eyes anyway), and I loved the way you compared malabsorbtion with termites.

I actually laughed while reading it all.

Good job my dear.

That was really nice of you!
 
Hi Melody -

That was really nice of you. I can tell you looked at my web site. I appreciate it.

I think that was the second page I ever did. :)

(I had to redo it many dozens of times because there used to be problems with Yahoo's SiteBuilder)

But did you look at the link I provided? It's a serious question about whether calcium might be contributing to pain...

and wondering whether amino acids might help heal nerves...

I'll put the link here again:
http://www.health-boundaries-bite.co...alNetwork.html

The name of the page is, "Pain-Calcium-NeuronalNetwork"
(I think I forgot a hypen...)

You are such a sweetheart, Melody! ((((((((Melody))))))))

I've got Whey Protein all over my house. That's what Alan first went on when he went to Cardiac Rehab after his stent.

And I knew about Milk Thistle from my mother years ago. She knew all about health stuff and 50 years ago, she took some vitamin called Nutrilife. Or Nutrilite. Can't remember exactly.
My god, 50 years ago, and I still remember.

ah ha, so then you're into it.

(That's probably why you can remember) :)

((((((Melody)))))))

So, after heart procedures they recomend Whey amino acids?
I didn't know that...

Is it because it aids healing...?????

I think your web pages are very well done and easy to read. Good job.

I found the info about magnesium interesting. I ran out and haven't replenished my supply. But I'm raising it on my priority list now that I've read your info.

The pro-se legal info also is interesting. My husband is a lawyer and comes home with incredible tales. Even if you are a lawyer, it is amazing the hoops they make you go thru. And don't forget that you need to become familiar with each judges procedures. One judge may have requirements that are different than another judge's.

Also, he has incredible tales about what clients have told him about other lawyers. Of course many of his clients find him after another lawyer has taken most of their money so they don't have very much left to pay him. Oh well. We aren't rich but he has helped many people.

Lots to absorb. I've bookmarked your site. I will revisit. Thanks.

Gosh, texasgeek,

I must say I was exceedingly eager to read what you had to say, based on your screen name alone.

And I wasn't disappointed, though the brief things about your husband brought tears to my eyes. I think it's because I am having such a hard time with my appeal. It's so hard to do when my feeling is that the deck is already stacked against me.

It also made me sad that bad lawyers take so much of people's money and then there's not enough left to pay a good lawyer.

I sure hope I'm able to concentrate one day soon... but I couldn't today.

Here in New Mexico there are local rules for each district... and I do have those to read.

The Appeals Court has been good about putting the guiding case law into the notices... so that way I know what I'm supposed to be talking about.

But the bad lawyer has my papers, which I originally went to the court house and got... and I've been sick again from worry about this and I don't have as much money left, so paying someone $60 to take me to the courthouse (3 hour minimum) and then paying for the copies all over again... I can't do it.

Sorry... devolving here.

I'm glad you find my site useful. :)

(it was sweet of you to read some of the pro se stuff, I know it's major boring.)

Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!!

(I'm feeling uplifted.)

I just looked over your site and thought it was great. Very user friendly and good information! I bookmarked it for more reading later :D

ConsiderThis 07-18-2007 09:03 PM

Wow, that was really nice of you, thank you.

My plan is to remember all this encouragement from today, tomorrow, and to use it as a spring board to doing the appeal.

I'm hopeful.

(Thanks to you guys!)

Karen:

After Alan had the stent, he had to wait til he healed, then he and I began an eating program designed by a nutritionist (I had actually begun this way of eating two years ago, but she tweaked it for both of us).

He lost so much weight that his doctor said "enough, I want him to eat eggs again (turns out that when a man loses weight fast, they automatically think Pancreatic Cancer), it's like one of the initial symptoms. But I knew it was his eating. I wasn't worried. So I bought the whey shakes. All that protein. Then Alan started working out like Rocky, (look at my user profile avatar), that's my Alan. He went from a man who used to weigh 267 and couldn't bend his legs, to a mean fighting 200 lb warrior.

But because he has foot ulcer problems, he had to stop the gym. But he wears the oft loading shoe now and soon he will be going back to the gym. Becasue we watch absolutely everything that goes into our bodies, there are no mistakes, no cheating, no nothing.

The one constant food we eat is blueberries, absolutely every day. They are full of anti-oxidants. We eat no beef (haven't for years). And I find new stuff all the time. I love fish, I adore salads, I don't eat after 7 pm. at night.

It was all bad habits which we had to learn to overcome. And we did.

To quote a phrase one of my doctors once told me "yeah, you could cheat, but why would you want to, because nothing tastes as good as the taste of good health. So that's our aim.

Hopefully, we'll get there. Might be 80, but we'll get there.

Alan is really cute. :)

Well, the whey amino acids have made a big difference for me... I think that because I was having a lot of B12 shots and I still had the mind boggling back pain... then I started the Serrapeptase and the whey amino acids and now I'm so much better.

So I guess it could be either the serrapeptase or the amino acids...

I think the serrapeptase relieves swelling, and I think the amino acids are needed for healing.

:)
