This week, I talked about my decision to take antibiotics for a possible sinus infection. I am still doing lots of natural medicine stuff, but I want to scare the infection out quickly so I can get my pain injection in a couple of weeks! It's OK to use both natural and convention medicine when needed. I talked about a great compound, PEA (palmitoylethanolamide, say the 3x fast) which is helpful for nerve pain, inflammation, and mood. One of the ways that it works is to access the endocannabinoid system! It's helping with my nerve pain! Then I talked about ellagitannins and urolithin A which improve heart failure parameters, and the increased risk of stomach cancer from too many sugary drinks.

This week, we talked more about preventing those stomach bugs going around. Wash your hands and eat probiotics! Also, too many colds; take your zinc, C, and elderberry, gargle, and clean your nose! Zero drop shoes are all the rage now, and I tried them and I think they help with balance. Don't forget to hydrate. You may want to add something to water to make it taste good, since you don't feel your thirst as much with the colder weather! Then we talked about how physical activity helps to prevent dementia. THE CAVEAT: you have to actually LIKE what you're doing!

This week, I started with all the STUFF that's going around, colds, coughs, and stomach bugs. We talked about how to prevent them and ease symptoms. Then we updated regarding my spinal stenosis care, which is somewhat frustrating, but I keep going! We also talked about Ron's iron deficiency and how he'll get help for that. We finished with a propolis extract called Promunel, which has been studied to help prevent and treat respiratory infections.
