Good day all,
I found the forum through another member who also belongs to an unrelated mailing list that I also subscribe to. I’m glad to be here, this forum looks like an ideal match for me.
I’m a 63 year old male, retired EE, who has lived an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle all my life. My health has improved significantly thanks to a significant lifestyle change, and I’m currently wondering if I really need a cpap machine at all. As of a few minutes ago, my Epworth Sleepiness Scale score = 0. More background info below. I will post my specific questions on the Software Support Forum soon.
I've used a CPAP machine for 20 years.
In mid January I did a major lifestyle change, which bore fruit in 3 weeks, and my health is still improving 2 today! I am diabetic, the weight loss and the avoidance of high glycemic index foods has dropped my fasting BG down to (around) 150 and that's totally without any insulin now! I used to commonly take 200 to 250 units of insulin per day to achieve BG readings of 200 or less!!! My Endocrinologist is still in a state of shock! I now have to see him once a month as he is concerned about the major changes in my body that have occurred in such a short period!
My Lymphedema was severe, it is almost non-existant now, I no longer have to wear compression socks! And the reduced swelling is close to eliminating the custom footwear I used to need! I now fit into standard off-the-shelf shoes! I take 1/4 of the blood pressure med as I took just 2 months ago. I lost 80 pounds between June and March, with the vast majority of the weight dropping shortly after the life style change in mid January. I still have another 100 pounds to lose. No soy, no gluten, no dairy, no added sugar (especially Fructose), no gmo and/or processed grains, no canned or prepared foods. I recently discovered Functional Medicine practitioners and have studied their claims significantly. I soon realized that the American people have been sold out-thanks to the farming mafia, the government, the pharmaceutical industry, the USDA, the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, the American Dental Association, etc....they ALL tell lies to keep us sick and cash flowing into their purses. I do not fear fat now, I've seen the light.
I had 4 toes that were due for amputation, today the swelling is gone and the redness has subsided-my doctor told me I could cancel the amputation appointment for now.
My doctor wants my thyroid hormone reevaluated, my daily dose will probably need to be reduced now!!! I now weigh 300 pounds (5'11"), so I still have another 100 pounds to lose!
High fat, low carb, with proper diet (modified Paleo/Keto) did it for me. Fat is needed to digest protein and the "cholesterol is bad" myth has been busted. Cholesterol is only a problem because it is the body's method of repairing the arteries damaged by man-made vegetable oil, trans-fats and intentionally contaminated foods. Clogged arteries DO NOT happen on a proper diet.
Processed vegetable oil directly interferes with the Mytochondrea in each cell and cells die that would otherwise be healthy. The Microbiomme is the key to immunity, proper nutrient absorption and inflammation in the body! Gut bacteria restoration has actually reversed dementia, Alzheimers and the brain can rebuild and repair itself once the body is free of the effects of the SAD.
Ever wonder why you feel like sh.t all the time? I thought I was the only person that felt so miserable-until I learned that more than half the US population was also afflicted!
My Leaky Gut Syndrome is likely significantly reduced, my white blood cell count is roughly 1/2 of what it used to be just 3 months ago! With the leaky gut repaired, the food particles that used to reach the blood stream are no longer leaving the body in a constant state of distress/alarm/SOS and the body's own defense and repair mechanism(s) can now function during more normalized sleep.
The brain and the body have mechanisms that work to remove toxins and environmental pollutants, but these systems do not function when the patient uses the SAD along with gmo, preservatives, food dyes and all the other poisons that our government still claims are 'safe' (or on the FDA's GRAS list), the GRAS list is the Generally Regarded as Safe List.
My (very expensive) and advanced allergy tests have been tabled (for the time being), these allergies often reverse themselves as the body approaches a more stable and proper condition (without vegetable oil, preservatives, artificial colorings and with a properly working Microbiomme).
GL to all and a special thanks to all who maintain and administer this forum!
