Time to help others
But I need your help
I seem to be writing more recently. I’m trying to keep the posts short and sweet with just enough to get everyone critically thinking.
I want you to have enough information to make your own healthy decisions without being swayed by others who may be biased.
But I need some help from you.
If you care to, share something non-traditional, meaning not what the traditional healthcare system would approve of, that changed your health for the better. Keep private medical info private but the story is the important part. Common Sense Health and Wellness readers are pretty intuitive so I think they will understand.
If the story sounds odd I may ask follow up questions in the comments to get a better understanding. I am NOT looking for bias in your stories, just more of an understanding so that others may be helped or at least intrigued.
My belief is that we learn from others, both the good and the not so good. We try to emulate the good while avoiding the not so good, in other words learn from others successes and mistakes.
Learning from others mistakes may help to avoid the definition of insanity. Remember that definition- doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Let’s try and make this one of the most commented upon post in Common Sense Health and Wellness so we can refer others back here in the future.
I appreciate all your stories in advance.
I had been primarily a plant eater from my midteen years. Never really did much eat meat at all. I thought I was healthy. I had a very active lifestyle for both work and for health reasons. In my mid 50’s I had an occurrence of an autoimmune condition called PMR(polymyalgia rheumatica). It lasted a year. I ended up having another occurrence and that is when I sought the help from Doc Steve. He recommended I try changing my diet and go for a 90/10 protein/carb ratio plate. I cried. Never thinking I would become a carnivore. That was probably 5 years ago. I am now 66 and EVERYTHING is better for me. Any arthritis that once bothered me has disappeared , my weight is at a more desirable place(never was I considered overweight)and I just plain ole feel better!!
Although I am not the most healthiest person, I think mostly because of my family background.
Not to blame them for my health issues, but my early years, was food from cans and boxes.
I believe for my family, the changes we have made for the better have been:
1) 80% protein 20% seasonal veggies
2) When needed, intermittent fasting
3) That 20% of the food we eat is fresh and not processed
4) Making and storing sauces, veg's, and veg. condiments with good ingredients (homemade garlic
mayo is the best)
5) Only using olive oil, avocado oil, grass fed butter and bacon fat for cooking.
6) Obtaining good meats where the animal was not stressed out upon slaughter.
7) One of my Doctors that is knowledgeable, always learning and sharing sensible idea's.
