There has been something I’ve needed for several years now, but haven’t gotten due to so many factors, but it was something that scared me and I needed my DH to get rolling for me and finally I was able to attend to getting it done.<\/p>\n
A dentist visit. I’ve had nightmare dentists since being in my teens, with a couple of decent ones only. None lasted very long. Long story short, we had a decent one after we were married a few years, right near our apartment. Then we moved out of state. A struggle with insurance and finding a new dentist ended us up with non-helpful ones and in contact with worse than nightmare ones. So we ended up staying home. I also later neglected myself more than I should have.<\/p>\n
So now I finally had a visit with one that is good, caring, and into natural stuff, and mercury-free. This is something I wanted, but hadn’t researched deeply due to not having the ability to get to one for years. So it was quite an education I got once last Wednesday rolled around. (very scary too)<\/p>\n
This office does a Bioscan for antioxident levels, and mine was way lower than it should be. Not a big surprise to me really, I’ve been an average eater to bad eater up and down over the years. Of late I’ve had issues that bother me and make me not eat as much, and to shun things I should eat, for things that are less good. I’ve always believed in supplemental vitamins and minerals and such, but haven’t regularly taken anything due to knowing I couldn’t afford one that I truly wanted to go with. I couldn’t pick and choose the right things in stores either. With the culmination of this visit, I today was able to have DH order a system for me, the right forumlation of things, to start with. It should give me a boost to get my number up, which means be a bit healthier, and supplement me in the things lacking in my diet. Get me where I need to be eventually so that I can get my amalgam fillings safely removed and other work done.<\/p>\n
I will also need a detox for heavy metals (mercury toxicity) to some extent, and this is all a long process of many sorts of things that hopefully will get me with a better edge and abilility to function better, more energy, less or no allergies and migraines, etc.<\/p>\n
I had a scan for mercury in my mouth and it was too high. They said EPA standards are for 10 max. in the environment. They said OSHA standards shut down a business if maxing at 25. My reading was 20 before chewing, and 23 after. Bad. I see two silver fillings that are large on the bottom left, and one small one on the top left. Ugh.<\/p>\n
I and they both prefer a “0” reading. Unfortunately the information out there is pro and con getting rid of mercury, and overwhelmingly though it is “avoid contact with it” and get it out of your teeth, out of your blood, organs, nervous system, thorugh detox, or chelation or some combination thereof.<\/p>\n
So for me it starts with getting my antioxident levels up and eating better and having a full supplemental support. 1st step is caring better for me, eating better, and getting that first level of supplements going. I’ll be getting the “LifePak” from Pharmanex, and hope to step it up to “LifePak Nano” as soon as possible, when we can afford to.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t raised to appreciate veggies at all. My mother MADE veggies for meals, but horrible ones, and the decent ones were horrible under her making anyhow.<\/p>\n
I did learn to appreciate a few veggies once married, and since then have grown in that area, but overall it’s harder for one such as I, pretty particular about texture and taste being right, and so … meat and potatoes was the main way for a long time. Over the years I’ve gone more and more natural and in the last several cut down on carbs massively and finally totally quit potatoes in the last year. My creativity in the kitchen has dwindled with my kitchen not fully put together, and deleting potatoes from the circulous menu.<\/p>\n
I have great ideas that are difficult to translate into reality, in other words.<\/p>\n
I’ve had more allergies and on and off migraines the last year, and tiredness getting more and more, and it’s just difficult to want to cook some days. It’s not depression, just the ickyness of allergies, migraines and how things go bad from there alone, with low blood sugar kicking in atimes, blah.<\/p>\n
Some info leads me to believe that adding my supplements to daily life, is going to improve some things for me, and allow me to get detoxed eventually and might have improvement from that as well. There is hope of toning down the allergies and migraines, if not completely getting rid of them. This is the angle from which to tackle it all though, to me, a naturalistic angle, cleaning oneself up from head to toes, inside and out, outside and in, toes to head.<\/p>\n
After awhile I hope to find a pro to aide me with the detox end of things. That will come once I have things under way with my dentist and supplements and food.<\/p>\n
I gave up Coca-Cola Classic last year. I’ve given up potatoes this past year. I gave up coffee, completely in the last couple of months. I started drinking a natural black cherry soda this past year, and now have decided to severely cut that consumption down. I drink green teas now. I am trying to drink ‘water’ and struggle with it, it makes me so very thirsty, as it has in the past whenever I ‘went to drinking water only’ and never could I sate my thirst, as Christ can with his spiritual water. It’s maddening, this water consumption. In any case, I drink spring water. I’m trying to be good, but I dont’ know how it will go, I love dark flavors, hence my past coffee and cola intensity periods of life. Water just doesn’t do it.<\/p>\n
Alright, so it also means I’ve cut out chocolate, just ’cause it’s one of those things, flavors are married with others and that drives desires. Bye, bye chocolate.<\/p>\n
All in all through the years I’ve been a label reader and buy accordingly. I hate “high fructose corn syrup” or any “corn syrup” in things, and I eliminated all those types of things, except for my Coca-Cola for so long. The black cherry stuff I get now is made with pure cane stuff, at least, a great step towards alright, compared with ANY mainstream soda. All in all, it gets down to the fact of is ANY soda something we should feed ourselves? Of course it’s not. But I have anyhow, and am trying hard not to drink much or any now, and for now I’m able to. The urge could come though to do different. That’s a struggle I’ve familiar with. I’m trying to hold my ground at one a day or less than that.<\/p>\n
Getting better eating habits along with supplementation should get my antioxident levels up to satisfactory and that will aid my body in fighting and winning, which supports gums, which is something I’m in desperate need of doing naturally, from within, which will support my exterior habituals.<\/p>\n
