Could it be that the places where we feel pain in our body, there is actually some form of toxicity at that point? I read in another discussion on natural treatments about using glutathione... It must be that the liver is not doing the job of detoxifying well-enough, and we have painful flare-ups as a result. I'm taking a cayenne supplement, which seems to help a lot with the pain, but I wonder if it increases the body's detox mechanisms (in addition to helping with pain) because it makes me quite thirsty, and more hungry than usual... |

I believe there is a high toxicity in our systems, because when I have blood taken, my liver enzymes are always high, as well as sugars, cholesterol, etc. I haven't tried cayenne but just started D134, which is a homeopathic formula to help with Fibromyalgia. When you've suffered for a long time, you're willing to try just about anything. Takroom |

Nope, cant' say that I have. I am trying to jump thru the hoops so that I can get gastric bypass this fall or winter tho. I've fought with my weight all my life, and I'm sick of it. I now have diabetes (tho very mild at this point) so the weight's become a "have to come off" situation, and since I've fought with my weight for 30+ years, it's time for drastic measures I am not a medical doctor and any medical opinion I give is based on personal experience and/or research.

"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
