One thing that you’ll constantly see recommended on Reddit, health forums, etc., is the BRAT diet – Bananas, Rice, Apples, and Toast. For whatever reason, this is the “go to” diet apparently recommended by physicians today whenever a neutral diet is needed – e.g. recovery, post-barfing, GERD, IBS, etc. Basically, this is supposed to be
I made a discovery today. For about two or three months now, my inguinal (the crease in the leg) lymph nodes have been swollen, bigtime. I don’t think that’s good, and I know it can signal bad stuff, but I’ve tried clearing them, and no luck. But I started something different today – I started
Many people have heard of oil pulling. But I’m going to tell you about something else I discovered that has really helped me, with Long Covid especially – heat pulling. For those unfamiliar, oil pulling is basically the traditional way of brushing your teeth, and that (arguably, according to proponents) easier on your teeth and
Here’s my 2 cents on inflammation: inflammation is the body’s language. Let me explain. From the day you were born you started dying. But what keeps you from dying is the fact that, at the same time, you’re building up – you’re healing. The older you get, the slower you build, and eventually, for some
I’ll be honest: the last thing on my agenda right now is losing fat – I lost 50+ lbs in about 50 days, and right now I’d like to hang onto any fat that I do have, thank you very much. But at some point, I’ll get back into the fat-losing mindset. In the meantime,
So this just happened (the date of this post). Well, actually – let me back up. Last week, I was feeling ok, a little better every day, and when the weekend rolled around, I was actually feeling almost normal – as in, normal that I literally haven’t felt since last July. Long time. Unfortunately, I
Thank God – and I mean that – for allowing me to realize that taking Apple Cider Vinegar 2x daily was hurting my stomach lining. Backstory: I started taking ACV 2x daily about a week ago, because it helps lower blood sugars by muffling “glucose spikes” during the day (quite a few studies on it
Well. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. I mention in my book recovery from Long Covid isn’t natural – your entire system is being attacked, all at once. It keeps you on your toes – you think, “oh my goodness, it’s my liver!” (and it is!) but suddenly, surprise! it’s your pancreas – then
In Chapter 4 of my book, “How Covid Almost Killed Me,” I touch a little bit on the idea behind the Covid bioweapon design – Covid wasn’t designed to take out military targets. Covid was designed to take out you. For most people, that’s a strange concept. “After all,” they respond, “I beat Covid! It
If you’ve never tasted home-grown ginger, I promise this will blow your mind: you’ve never, ever actually tasted real ginger. I promise. Ginger is one of my favorite plants, with a long and illustrious history. Back when things were only celiac for me – oh so long ago! – ginger tea was also magical in
