Intro/Post-Op Help Needed
Hi guys, I need your help. Let me do my overdue intro first. I am in my late
40’s, look as if I’m in my late 30’s (great luck!!!) and in addition to having
the ravages of failed attempts of living the vegetarian lifestyle; i.e., high
cholesterol, hypertension and elevated blood sugar levels (not yet diabetes,
thank God); and am losing some excess weight; I have some pretty debilitating
symptoms of multiple sclerosis. This primarily has sidelined my life,
especially in the last 6 years, and I’ve been officially disabled since 1997. I
have had all the worst symptoms at one time or another, such as being unable to
stand, walk etc. and fatigue. I have been in a remission of sorts for the last
7 months for which I’m very thankful. I do not need my cane - a first since
‘97, and also do not stagger-walk unless really fatigued. Even the fatigue has
improved since I started ER4YT in August! Overall I’m thrilled with my systemic
health, and cannot ever envision going back to the conventional eating
lifestyle!!
In June I had a very mild stroke, which left my right arm and leg temporarily
paralyzed and then extremely weak. After 6 weeks of very intensive therapy, I
was able to forget about my wheelchair and a month later, my cane. This episode
caused a tremendous strain on my left arm and shoulder, and led to the
resurgence of a 22 year old injury (which originally needed 7 surgeries to
heal). As a result, last week I had shoulder surgery (left), - needed repair of
a torn rotator cuff muscle, an impingement and scar tissue removal in the joint
socket (repairing a dislocation). Luckily, my orthopedic surgeon was able to do
this with 3 arthroscopic incisions, and did not have to open my entire shoulder
up. I’m allergic to most antibiotics, and was scheduled to spend 2 days in the
hospital on antibiotic IV, but started to react negatively to the antibiotics,
and it was terminated the following morning. I was sent home, and the next
morning awoke to excruciating pain in my left foot! Because I have multiple
sclerosis, I have had flare-ups after surgery in the past, however, this was
different. To cut a long story short, it appears that somewhere between the
operating and recovery rooms, I suffered real bad soft tissue/ligament damage to
my left foot. X-rays show that my ankle bones are not arthritic, so the
conclusion is that I have a really bad sprain! I also had an old injury repair
to my right knee last September; and in 1999 I had major surgery on my right
shoulder due to a car accident. In that accident I also sustained 3 herniated
discs in my neck and lower back. I also have carpel tunnel syndrome in both
wrists.
That’s the background. my question is this - what extra supplementation do you
think I should take to support my body with the extra healing it has to do at
this time? Is there a product that could support my bones to halt/prevent future
arthritic changes? I really need some input here.
Thanks,

@@@Branched Chain Amino Acids to help heal your body….Q10 is a
powerful anti-oxidant….much more so than E or C……read Stephen
Sinatra MD book The Coenzyme Q10 Phenomenon…….it is amazing what
Q10 taken in the right type can do for the body…..the right type is
Q-Gel which is best assimilated by the body……

Dear Jannette,
I posted the ingredients of a product here (Australia) called “Hernidisc”.
Did you see that post? Hernidisc has amazing success here with any bone and
disc problems. My 2c is for you to try and get a hold opf as many of those
ingredients as possible!
Here it is again if you missed it:

I spoke to Eagle Pharmaceuticals who produce/distribute this product in
Australia. Unfortunately there is no real great way to get this to you all
who want it. There are very strict laws and they have been preparing for 1
year just to be able to sell to Asia, and haven’t even begun on US yet. I
have, however, managed to get my hands on the ingredients list so here goes:
