Update - Slow & steady wins the race.

:D Howdy all, Well I have been taking the next phase of the protocol for about 3 weeks now. Because of my arrythmias, I have started slowly, Taking only 1 x Coq10 1 x Lipoic Acid 1 x Taurine each morning. An amazing thing appears to have happened. :o I believe the Taurine settles my arrythmias. I ha...

Arrhythmias

:-? I need to explain others first up, that as a result of my Cardiomyopathy, I suffer some fairly significant bad heart rhythms. Not every one does this. My main concern is called Ventricular Tachycardia. (VT) the ventricles of my heart beat so fast, it can not fill with blood properly, so I may pa...

Hi Willy, No and no to both. I can eat a high carb meal, and I am full and that is it. I don't snack between meals, except for an occasional piece of fruit. I eat when I am hungry and when I have eaten, I am done. I am feeling really good for the most part, unless I overdo the exercise too much, the...

Update

:D Hi all thought I would just share information with you as to where I am at. It may be helpful to someone. I started Chromium Picolinate on 01-May-07 and have found my craving for sugar has dropped right off. I used to drink 3-4 cups of tea/coffee with 2.5 teaspoons of sugar. I don't drink any. Ch...

Question folks.

Why does MSM make you feel tired, and how long does it take to adjust to using it?

I have had a noticeable feeling of tiredness since commencing MSM.

Is it that difficult to get supplements? Can't you even get the big brands like NOW and Pharma Nord? That makes it a bit more difficult for you I hope it's still affordable? NOW has never been heard of in this country. Pharma Nord is like Solgar, some shops have some, but not many varieties. Our bi...

:lol: Little boy with a big heart in every sense of the word :P

Good news on the GTF front. A workmate is bringing me some back from New Zealand next week. Silly isn't it?

I live in outback Australia, and can only get Solgar etc from New Zealand. :-?

Sugar

Hi Corrij,
Life without sugar is OK> :D I take 1 day at a time. My worst weakness is when other people walk up and offer me lollies. Very hard to say no! :-?

I will keep trying to find Chromium GTF.

I am taking my supplments and looking forwards.

All is going very well.

Thank you.
