Hi all, I couldn't contribute yet in the business discussion section as I am just starting out my FASTLANE journey (I'm still a slowlaner as I still have a job for 2 months) but I'd really like to contribute to the forum with some personal experiences about Health.
Just a background about me, when I was a kid, hospital is my vacation. I wouldn't miss a year without getting confined and getting sick to the point that it became a joke that, I get cured already when I smell the hospital and saw my pedia (if only there was those frequentflyer cards back then for being in the hospital, I might have had a free night confinement). From asthma, cough-colds-flu, broken collarbone, typhoid fever, etc...I had it when I was a kid. Medicines, I think I had a good dose of A-Z antibiotics back then that altered my DNA right now (just kidding LOL).
When I grew up I became luckier, got sick lesser and lesser until stress started creeping (2009) to me in the form of GERD (Gastro-something or acidreflux). I won't forget that first time it attacked, I was deep thinking, thinking about my work and my finances (finances got a little bad for me back then 'cause of my stupidity with CC's) and then suddenly, I felt light headed, palpitation, hard to breathe, chest pains etc...kinda like a heart so I ran to my friends house just to have company in case something happens to me. Starting that day, I do frequents visits to the ER because of chest pains (about 2x a week in 1 month).
So I went into research, found out about antioxidants, Vitamins, Enzymes, supplements, etc...and started taking them, I remember taking the BioPhotonic Scanner from Pharmanex that measures the antioxidants and it did not register anything for me! But after taking antioxidants it started to increase and my feeling became better and better.
Is that it? End of story? Did I stick with Antioxidants and Vits?
I did more and more research because I just feel that there is a deeper source of my illnesses. I stumbled upon Dr. Robert Young's research about Alkalinity and our blood. Hey, if we want to go to the source I think our cells could be it right? So here's what I did to have a baseline and track my progress:
LBA - Live Blood Analysis, this test showed me why I'm tired and why my energy was really low most of the time. I saw my red blood cells cramped together (like a mentos tube) and movement was slow, they were deformed and not a pretty sight to look at.
So what did I do? Alkalized.
Downloaded all information about alkaline foods and drinks and started taking them (I took off all vits and supplements that I was taking to test this out). Lessen all acid forming foods and drinks and added the following in my activities:
Went to basics:
1. Increase Oxygen intake by deep-diaphragm breathing and canned oxygen - people can't live without oxygen in minutes.
2. Increase Water intake - I use Alkaline drops to alkalize my water, also took wheatgrass.
3. Food - As much as I can, high amounts of alkaline food intake.
4. Movement - added jogging every morning
So far, after a 2-3, much improvement can be seen in my LBA, my red blood cells are round, very few are deformed and movement is now pretty much normal. I feel good and my GERD left me so are the medicines that I take.
But you know I am not perfect, every now and then I get tempted, I eat, I drink, I consume unhealthy food and drink, I spend some night partying 'till the next day and getting drunk. I'd admit, I'm not that disciplined but at least now, I do know how to go back...go back to the basics and that helps a lot.
Hope that I shared some value with my story. Right now, I'm still pursuing health, getting more and more disciplines and I'm addicted to it.
