I am learning much from those on this site. Thanks to all for sharing. Can someone say more about b12 and PN and the alcohol and sugar connections. Also I had to change all work shoes to soft — the closest to a dress shoe I can wear with suites in a Florsheim “comfort tech” Instead of being caught at work with no shoes on I can tolerate these for a few hours at a time. Feet are still severely painful but these shoes are doable.
Lyrica is harsh to take and work. How do you get by with the effect on speech and memory?! Take care michael

I like this saying that I ran across which pretty much says it all.

DIET
Every time you eat or drink,
You are either feeding disease
or You are fighting it.
The choice is Yours....

There is a lot of controversy that exists in the world of complementary and alternative medicine; that what appears to be working for
you, may not work for others. There is also a lot of misinformation out there when you are searching so you have to do your own research to validate sources and that can sometimes be difficult. Here are a few helpful sources for navigating the potential scams:

Good luck on your quest...I hope we all can find something that helps improve our conditions.

When I first started my journey researching I found a book by Dr. Terry Wahls - The Wahls Protocol which got me started on eating healthier. She also has some informative YouTube videos. Here is one - Mind your Mitochondria - Terry Wahls TED Talk:
