Hi @jrose444, I have no idea how hard it must have been to give up meth and how disheartening it must be, to test positive after all the hard work you are still doing to stay clean. Do you use any hemp products, even hemp seeds, as they have been linked to false positives. Even the small...

Hi @derry60 I'm in a similar position I have only just returned, it is nice to see a familiar face. Welcome back. :bag:

I'll check them out thanks for that. :bag:

Again this is my fault not expressing it clearly "Excess fat stored blocking up the liver " there should have been a "/" between stored "/" blocking. Just trying to use a turn of phrase which conveyed the idea of draining the liver of fat and the health benefits behind doing so. :bag:

Hi @Melgar I thing you have picked me up wrong the "Low Carb reduces sugar to the brain which it doesn't like" this is my fault :shy: I followed this up with a reference to the effect of "keto flue" with out going into any detail. As this is for a new member and i didn't want to bog them down...

Hi @Francis faulkner as others have already said you need to take into account any medication you are on, but perhaps I can help you navigate how food effects you. Your body runs of sugar, every thing you eat it will try to turn in to glycose to power the body. :bookworm: There are 3 basic...

A quick google search says its used as a laxative. Have you considered a Magnesium body spray or Epson saults in a bath? Magnesium is readily absorbed through the skin more effectively than tablet supplements with less side effects. It might be an option. :bag:

Hi @Mattrblue that great news well done mate. :) :bag:

Hi @Jo Hi @JoKalsbeek its surprising how easy it is to forget to take the supplements after a couple of days. I remember reading a few years back that supplements are not always effective, as they can pass through our system to quickly to be fully absorbed. :banghead: Magnesium can be...

There. there dear. Your doing your best. :happy: :bag:

I've seen Airplane too many times. I'm just picturing jars of Mayonnaise ;) . :bag:

Hi @Angela34 As others have said you should speak to you Doctor about this, nerve damage can be caused by poor circulation which could be a cardio issue it might have nothing to do with Diabetes. Or it might. It could headed of at the pass, so to speak, if you get a proper diagnosis to confirm...
