That says it all for me today. Kinda feel like crab bait after buying a bunch of supplements that I have now found to be TOXIC. So I am grateful for the bucket of clams I have to clean... No Crab today... Peace Mark PS nothing better than a twisted sense of humor.

Just when you think your doing right someone throws you a curve ball. I stopped supplementing almost a year ago. Since I have never been that much of a fan of taking them anyway most were outdated. I truly believe in getting of your vitamins and minerals from what you eat first. Supplement only when...

Be careful if you drink allot of coffee and then stop completely you could have some rather nasty side effects. I quit for a time but found that 1 small cup mid morning seems to be fine. Just my opinion. Trick is to not head for the coffee first thing in the morning. Eat first. I have switched my wi...

Hello Bubba Keep focused on the positive. Smile and laugh off adversity. Diet is a big issue with us. Get the newest addition of the Swank Diet. Pretty easy to adapt too. Don't give up anything you like to do. Go fishing !!! Eat more fish. Keep the BBQ going and enjoy. I gave up the beer but gladly ...

Thank you for your support. I used to love hike but was not much of a runner. Short sprints skim boarding to prepare for summertime demanding desert launch conditions. Find myself running in my dreams and actually find it quite enjoyable when it happens. And rock hopping was another favorite up unti...

Hello Scotty Your story is almost identical to what I was experiencing in the early days. When I was thinking MS and Dr's and others were thinking pinched nerves Stress ect. The many physicals, blood tests, x-rays, stress tests revealed nothing. Some of the symptoms you describe I was feeling over s...

Way cool. I like the height no stooping over hot coals. I use a old truck rim for the small shin digs and a converted oil tank for the big parties we have hear. BBQ season is almost hear too... Mark

Going to set my flying aside for awhile. Today hang gliding I was not able to lift my leg high enough to get fully into my pod harness. My brother the Eagle joined me for awhile. Had to laugh as to him it must have looked like my talons were out pursuing prey. Tough to hang it up after 31 yrs in thi...

Scotty I went for four years of exactly what you have described. Not until I actually stabilized some did get a positive MRI. Too late for the early disease modifying drugs to be very effective. My advice to you is this. Take the helm. You set the coarse and stay focused on getting what you want don...

This is more than a forum... It is a support group !! were all in this together. I am with you one this one legs. Yawn Yawn Peace Mark

Andrew Great info… Understand your concern about the inversions. My thought is the combination of a good nights sleep ( eight hrs inclined ) then twenty minutes on the inversion table at the end of the day gently stimulates the whole system. I use my inversion table more for the stretching than inve...

Thanks Cheer I started using the table just too see if surging the blood could help some of the issues that plagued me early on. I knew even then before the MRI and confirmed MS there was something going on in my head. Might have been a dangerous move. When I first started using the inversion table ...

Without getting too technical could gently simulating the cvs with Andrew's inclined bed and daily inversions on a inversion table help strengthen the now open bbb. Has there been any prior discussion related to what this could do? Keeping it simple… Mark

lyndacarol I don't know if I ever got back to you on this. Paid around $350.00 for mine new. Ordered it from teeter hang ups through amazon. They do show up used on e-bay or craigs list at times. Worth every penny. Helps straighten out the kinks after too much google time at the computer.http://www....

Yes garlic is a anticoagulant ( blood thinner ) might be a difference cooked versus raw. either way it is a amazing little onion. If nothing else when you eat enough of it it tends to keep people from getting too close thus less chance of spreading disease. Garlic too your health... Mark http://www....
