Hi everyone, can I just say a huge thankyou for all the advice, comments and messages, it’s been touching receiving the love from the other side of the world,I love this community.

I’m usually pretty good at taking care of myself but I think this is the most unwell I’ve been in my whole life so I was actually a but scared when I posted the other night or I wouldn’t have said anything and just couldn’t think of anything else to tip the balance. I had actually just purchased an electrical humidifier to go next to the bed/chair after Googling for ideas plus others mentioned similar here. Omg! Iit was like a miracle! It didn’t entirely solve the breathing/coughing problem but there was 90% improvement! From something so simple!!I’d been coughing 24 hours a day incessantly previous to that.

The other key problem is my blood sugar. I keep plunging into what I think are hypoglycaemic drops which mean I’m almost panting and can’t catch my breath. You feel horrendous I and it’s gone on for hours each time with hardly any breath and heart racing. It was so had tonight we were on the verge of ringing an ambulance about an hour ago which I really don’t want to do. I’ve lived with blood sugar issues most of my adult life though I’ve thought of some new things for going forwards, gotta make the most of every learning process! I’ve been force feeding myself nuts and herbal bitters have helped a bit but does anyone have any suggestions for any techniques/devices/substances for snapping blood sugar into place and halting rapid hypoglycaemic plunges??? Exercise helps balance things effectively but I’m stuck in a wheelchair at the moment and chair dancing isn’t touching it! Just going to the bathroom means I’m doing rapid pants and can’t breath effectively. If you know me the fact that I’ve even considered an ambulance shows how bad it’s been tonight.Any further ideas just on that issue would be much appreciated. I think a month with hardly any food or sleep means my body is pretty depleted and wired already.

And alcoholism can be heavily linked to blood sugar as well as all the other reasons for it. The carbs may well be filling some sort of hole blood sugar/emotionally/energetically wise.

Hiya, I’ve been that person….. running 2 stressful businesses, being on high alert all the time and pumping adrenaline, erratic sleeping and eating routines (nightclub DJ) and ending up overweight and diabetic (complicated by 2 accidents).

That he wants to do something himself is the first great thing. I used to use food to keep me pumping and going and also to bring me down and crash my blood sugar so that I could override the adrenaline buzzing and fall asleep. If he’s strong willed and successful he’s probably used to bypassing the wisdom and warning signs of his body and using his personality to just keep on keeping on. That strong will power can be its own worst enemy.

If he doesn’t make some changes his body will probably force him to. I’m not saying that very low carb is the way to go for ever, those are decisions for when you get to the next stage, but I did find it shifted weight quickly and that helps diabetic style symptoms too. It’s really easy, especially if you like meat and fish which I don’t. You don’t have to do a full on keto thing if you don’t want to, just meat/fish/tofu/seeds/nuts etc. with substantial veg like mushrooms and avocados plus lots of veg and salad. Go easy on the fruit and don’t have juices/alcohol/sweet drinks (don’t go for drinks with sweeteners, drink water!). I used to do a sort of intermittent fasting too and not eat until mid afternoon. Within a few days you can literally feel a rebalancing starting to happen and the cravings start to disappear. You question it as the “real you” feels buzz buzz all carbed up and this other way of feeling is kind of weird and good empty but not really empty. Non hardcore exercise helps too like walking or cycling. If his sleep patterns are out of whack then getting lots of natural light and walking barefoot on the earth helps with time, simple but powerful.

When you’ve done that fundamental carb drop and re-tuning then you can start looking at other protocols. I just jumped on cos I wanted to say that dropping the carbs is way easier than you think and fear, and your body will make the changes for you and stop the cravings too, it’s just the first week or so to get through until it physically clicks into place. When he feels rebalanced again he may naturally start looking at other aspects of his life and how he lives it but again that’s something for the future not right now. It’s a funny old place to find yourself as the making things happen/problem solving/creativity/ adrenaline-carb buzz is addictive and has its own sort of fulfillment and satisfaction but your body does pay the price at some point. Making the changes is really really worth it.

Hiya, I have similar issues and if you join the Athletics and Fitness group there is a Strength Vs Mobility thread with some useful info. This is Barre’s reply to me on that thread:

Every joint issue without exception involves muscle divisions in the involved area literally offline. As with any electrical system there are circuit breaker systems to protect organs, tissues etc that all muscles share by way of common neuro-meridian circuits. Since muscles are superficial and less vital to life than deeper organ systems the body shunts all available resources to life-sustaining area in the event of circuit overload, and accomplishes this by turning off related muscle divisions. These switched of muscles are identified only thru skilled isolation and testing of every muscle division in the affected joint. Most often injuries occur due to pre-existing joint instabilities due to these compromised muscles leaving deeper ligaments & cartilage vulnerable to damage. Rehabilitation will be tenuous or temporary unless all muscles are brought back on-line. Treatment then requires assessment of all components in that circuit to reflect every level of physiology from etheric to mechanical and everything in-between. The circuit itself must be isolated no different than going thru a data-retrieval process on your computer. Treatment must then involve any modality(s) to treat the cause(s) triggering the breaker switch in the first place. Once muscles are on-line other tissue treatments and rehab exercises will have chance. This is the realm of neuro-based Clinical Kinesiology, but not plug and play muscle-testing systems that do not have the ability to track priorities and proper sequential treatment. There are still a handful of such practitioners, so do some research and perhaps you’ll find someone in your area.

Also, if you do a search there is a nice long Alfacast on arthritis. Hope this helps!

Apparently there is a seaweed that you can sprinkle on cat food that helps reduce plaque, would this suit dogs too? It might be complete rubbish but I’ve read lots of testimonials saying it works so thought I might try it for my cat. There is a branded version you can buy in the UK on the evil Amazon and I did poke around in their info. to find out which seaweed but I can’t remember which one.

Hiya, I’m just a learner but I’ve just bought some untreated cedarwood raissd planters as cedarwood is supposed to be naturally resistant to both insect damage and rot and having done a quick Google it looks like cedarwood fence posts exist in the world too ? though you’d have to make sure they’re not tanalised/pressure treated. I guess there are probably ways to make sure your fencing area is well drained too.

Hey @ew you’re not at all annoying, the way you express yourself is vibrant and magical, don’t ever change! I think I assumed I might be missing out a tiny bit on some aspects or on getting to know people cos I can’t afford exec. membership at the moment and because I only joined late last year but compared to other online and in real life communities this one is so adult, kind, intelligent and fun, and with no sniping. I can overthink things sometimes too, plus we have to negotiate both our physical and online lives nowadays but I think we’re all in a good place in Alfa Vedic land ♥️

It’s almost 2.30am and I came across this group as I was scrolling through the groups to post something in The Library. I love this time as everything’s so still and peaceful so I’ve been sitting here by the fire reading with my cat. A lovely idea for a group and it’s lovely to have a little peek into everyone’s everyday lives on this thread. And @GiseleH I live near a river Humber too but in the UK.

Thanks loads! I’m venturing into electroculture for the first time this year but drooling over seed catalogues at the moment ?

And don’t forget devices/screens! x

Hi Alisa<div>
I must admit I’m shy about offering any health advice on this platform because of the wealth of knowledge here and because I’m in awe of Barre’s super whizz knowledge!

I’ve had some strange experiences with things that shouldn’t be happening after a gig and a crowded restaurant so I get your passing shedding concerns plus a lot of fear has been put out there. I kind of wondered for myself if it was a “tuning” thing but who knows.

There are wonderful herbs out there for excessive bleeding and hormone balancing and I think Penny has mentioned some fab ones and I’d also look at basic, background stuff.

I’d usually look at congestion and nourishment. You’re at the age when people start talking about perimenopause, fibroids, polyps, endometriosis but in a world full of labels it’s good to look behind the scenes. A less efficient functioning colon and liver can contribute massively so it’s always good to have a cleanout. Barre and Mike are well into coffee enemas as they’re strongly effective but some people aren’t ready to go there or physically find it hard to manoevre so herbal colon cleanses and liver flushing can be done instead to clear the crap out and to get everything perky.

I’d also keep the diet clear of pesticides and dairy, certainly for now. And over stimulating things like sugar.

The adrenal glands might be a bit tired and again there are herbs for that but do background basics first. I think a lot of women are a bit tired as they head towards the middle ages, tired of always “giving out”, often to jobs/careers, relationships, families, parents, conventional society and its demands, partners. A lot of this is enjoyable and fulfilling as well but there’s often a continual outward movement rather than thinking what does my secret soul desire? If that’s you then think about what your secret soul does desire. The last few years have made us all look very outwards but we need to create too. So there’s that central energetic nourishment but also nutritional nourishment, especially at this time of year…..go green, lots of live green smoothies!

I think modern humans can be very detached from the cycles and rhythms of life and the menstrual cycle can reflect that. I’d say do a lot of earthing/barefoot walking but it’s bloody cold at the moment. But get out there, sit/walk with some plants and trees. And light! I’ve had some recent experiences with not enough natural daylight and a mad neighbour keeping me awake with a crazy strobe effect cat deterrant causing bleeding issues! Get out and get enough daylight and get enough sleep in a properly dark room to balance out aspects of hormonal cycles.

Lots of women have complicated emotional attitudes regarding pregnancy and children too. I think modern women spend half their time trying not to get pregnant and then half their time trying to! Everyone has to follow their own path so sit quietly with yourself if there are things there that you have to work through.

I hope some of this is helpful, and raspberry leaf tea is often a very good starting point, it’s not just for pregnancy ?

Christmas got in the way and I forgot about this thread! Oh my goodness @shepsumaat I’m so pleased your son loved it, it’s such a magical film. There are almost scary bits but I guess you’ve got to learn that scary isn’t always as scary as you think. I love knowing that a kid all that distance a way has found it too! And @KWayne I’ll give this a watch ?

I’ve found sheep fleece really useful in protecting against slugs too. Our local veg box scheme insulates the fridge products with it so I just order lots of hummous when I’m in need! Though the slugs last season were insanely out of control cos it rained in the UK for about 18 months solid. Veg growing is my new found delight, I can’t explain how happy it makes me 😁

[Sonya]

Hi Mary, I think this must be the one I listened to 😊
