I am a little confused. Do you soak whole flax seeds and then chew on those, or do you grind them up and then soak and chew? In your first post, you wrote: "I soak 4 tsps overnight in water and tip off the excess water in the morning and chew them up when I wake up. I use whole linseeds to ens...

It's odd that the cramp came after surgery, presumably you slept on a flat bed at the place the surgery was performed and the cramp was not there before? Hi Andrew, The cramp was intermittant pre-IBT and pre-CCSVI as well. Last June on day 2 after the CCSVI operation the cramp/pain happended with a...

Hello all, I inclined our bed for my wife to 2.5 inches for about 4 weeks and then to 5 inches in Jan 2010. There was an immediate effect on my wifes trips to the loo at night. Previously she would go several times to the loo and most times get to the loo and not want to go. But as soon as we starte...

Hi, Prior to the procedure (Jun 2010) my wife's monthly cycle was between 21 and 24 days long. 24hrs before each period my wifes symptoms would get worse. Post-procedure month by month the length of Sandi's monthly cycle has got longer and longer - this month it was 29 days. There has been no differ...

Pinda: Otherwise I have my 2/3 beers a day and often Vodka/orange before meal; a Cognac (or similar) before sleep. I sleep like a baby, I don't have headache; and I feel fine. Wow - thats a mighty concoction to be having everyday, but I guess if it eases pain then why not. We should be able to get ...

Hello all, Red Wine and the effects it has on my wifes arm spasms: Results are as follows: Zero glasses of red wine in the evening = definate spasms the next day One glass of red wine in the evening = less spasms the next day Two glasses of red wine in the evening = usually no spasms the next day Th...

....As you can see, this has been a rollercoaster of a ride for me and those close to me so far. I do not know what is around the corner, I just hope that it is one of those steep inclines and not one of those stomach churning dips. We will see... Mags x Hope procedure number two does you well if n...

I had venoplasty with Dr. Siskin. No blood thinners prescribed. I am presently in a situation now with my left internal jug 100% blocked due to clotting. I am not saying plavix would have prevented this.. I have no idea. Just posting to let folks know this is a possibility. How long before you knew...

another good article on salicylate-rich foods, vitamins, oils etc http://www.ctds.info/natthinners.html Thanks for this link.... We have home-cooked indian food at least once per day which is loaded with herbs and spices high in salicylates. My wife also has a handful of the fruits which are stated...

My wifes mate is/was wheelchair bound she was dx'd last year to PPMS - she was treated in India and is doing much better and able to walk with a walker. She can now also walk a little bit totally unaided. For some they may not see mircaulous results but surely if only progression was halted it will ...

I talked to a doctor who attended the Glasglow conference, he says he went there still somewhat skeptical but he came back convinced. Cece, This is great news. Not sure if you have had the procedure but I would be pounding my docs door if I knew he was convinced. I was disappointed that on the Frid...

Last year my wife tried having green smoothies/juices but everytime she had one within 5 minutes she would have a spasm. It should also be noted that spinach is high in oxalates (oxalates block magnesium absorption). Cheers, Pinda It's pretty much a no-brainer that veggies like broccoli, kale, swiss...
