My "regimen"
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:33 am
First let me state that I do not promote anything, sell anything etc. I started this topic to have a place to write everything and maybe get some feedback.
As I said before I got sick last November, prior to this I had no issues that I could relate to MS. No needles and pins, nothing at all.
Last July I got on a diet (for losing weight and to try al live more healthy), my diet excluded all sugar (except small amounts of honey and what of sugar is in fruit etc.), all simple OH (bread, pasta,...) and all alcohol. On this diet I was feeling great, had lots of energy, I was losing weight. Also I exercised every day for at least 30 minutes before breakfast and I had my dance lessons at least 2 days a week. So, till November I lost about 16 kg. Than I got sick and I gradually started to eat everything again (and by now got back some kg ).
So after all I read this is similar to paleo diet which is "recommended" for MS patients and still got sick
Soon after I was diagnosed I read an article (unfortunately it is not available in English) about a woman who "cured" her MS with chlorella algae and some tincture from wild garlic (I am not sure if this the correct translation). She went for a bioresonance which showed that she has a lot of heavy metals in her (dental fillings etc.) so she got rid of fillings and in the meantime she ate a lot of chlorella which is supposed to get rid of heavy metals in your body. After some time she started taking this tincture too and still lots of chlorella. She went for a MR in 2 years and there were no lesions left. She also started to avoid any diary products beacuse of residue from antibiotics etc. in them.
So this article got me thinking about my diet and all -all the "bad" things in our bodies store in fat and I was losing my fat quite quickly. Maybe I have released too much of stored things into my system too rapidly. So I started eating some chlorella, not as much as in article but about 7 -8 pills a day. I made sure that the algae is grown in glass barrels and not exposed to polluted air and other toxins. Chlorella has in it B vitamins so maybe that is way it helped her? I don't know.
I have a friend who also has an autoimmune disease - we had very similiar lifestyle and were also taking the same immuno-boost pills for years when we were feeling like coming down with a flu (they are natural pills from echinacea) so this got me thinking that we have somehow messed our immune system by boosting it too much or for too long? She doesn't take any immune system enhancers now since she got sick (almost 10 years ago) and she hadn't had a relapse - only 1 (the first).
She is also going to some biohealer (I really don't know if this kind of therapy is known to you), of course that is alternative medicine. The healer chanels cosmic energy into you and by that boosts your ability for self - healing. I know...it sounds a bit weird. So I decided to start this too and I think it helps, therapy lasts four days and on this days I have much more energy and I sleep well. Also my friends mother who has lupus got really better after being in a bad shape for a year and a half. She was using a crutch - but now doesn't need, she can move her toes and some of the fingers, etc. If I didn't see her before she started this therapy and now I wouldn't believe it...I don't know if it works because she belives it does or there is something else behind it but I am really glad for her.
So now my supplements (I take them every few days or every day it depends on the feeling, I should study them more I know):
- evening primrose oil for Omega3 and 6 or linen oil in cottage cheese
- b- complex vitamins
- I also got some mineral water who has really a lot of magnesium so I drink that too, especially if some muscle twitches in my body ;)
I am thinking about zinc and selenium also but I am a bit sceptical of all these pills and would rather found good sources of them in food. Also I make almost all of my food from scratch and try to avoid processed food.
Since it's almost a year from my flare I would really like to do an MR to see what's going on, but since I am not on any medications my doctor will probably not refer me to one. Still I haven't decided if I should go on medications - she recommends Copaxone but...
I also have a question for you...how do you know if you have a flare or just a bit of a bad day. My GP said that if something new happens regarding symptoms and it lasts for more than 24 hours than that's it?
This is it for now, thank you for reading (if you got through it all) have a nice day
