[TMIC] You may get worse
Frank, I was having a pretty decent weekend until I read your note to Sally. Have not heard anyone else mentioning the fact that they were getting worse. Like you, I had no pain originally and when they kept asking me about pain I did not understand what they were talking about. Now I do. Was hoping that this stuff would level off. I have had TM since 2003. Note that you have had it longer than I. Do you ever think I will level off? Say yes, even if you don't believe it and are you still on the Lyrica? If so how is it doing?

[TMIC] Chia?
DrWeil.com Question: I heard that "chia" is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, but I dont know what it is, where to get it or what to do with it. Can you enlighten me? Answer: Chia is an edible seed that comes from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family that grows abundantly in southern Mexico. You may have seen chia sprouts growing on the novelty planters called Chia Pets, but historically, the seeds have been the most important part of the plant. In pre-Columbian times they were a main component of the Aztec and Mayan diets and were the basic survival ration of Aztec warriors. I've read that one tablespoon was believed to sustain an individual for 24 hours. The Aztecs also used chia medicinally to stimulate saliva flow and to relieve joint pain and sore skin.Chia is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, even more so than flax seeds. And it has another advantage over flax: chia is so rich in antioxidants that the seeds don't deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid. And, unlike flax, they do not have to be ground to make their nutrients available to the body. Chia seeds also provide fiber (25 grams give you 6.9 grams of fiber) as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc. Another advantage: when added to water and allowed to sit for 30 minutes, chia forms a gel. Researchers suggest that this reaction also takes place in the stomach, slowing the process by which digestive enzymes break down carbohydrates and convert them into sugar. Chia has a nutlike flavor. You can mix seeds in water and add lime or lemon juice and sugar to make a drink known in Mexico and Central America as "chia fresca." As with ground flax seeds, you can sprinkle ground or whole chia seeds on cereal, in yogurt or salads, eat them as a snack, or grind them and mix them with flour when making muffins or other baked goods. I find them tasty and an interesting addition to my diet. Chia is undergoing something of a renaissance after centuries of neglect. It was a major crop in central Mexico between 1500 and 900 B.C. and was still cultivated well into the 16th century, AD, but after the Spanish conquest, authorities banned it because of its close association with Aztec religion (Indians used the seeds as offerings in rituals). Until recently, chia was produced by only a few small growers, but commercial production has resumed in Latin America, and you can now buy the seeds online and in health food stores (see www.eatchia.com and www.chiaseedandoil.com). Because of its nutritional value and stability, chia is already being added to a range of foods. Research has shown that adding it to chicken feed makes for eggs rich in omega-3s. Feeding chia to chickens enriches their meat with omega-3s; fed to cattle chia enriches milk with omega-3s. Chia can also be added to commercially prepared infant formulas, baby foods, baked goods, nutrition bars, yogurt, and other foods. Another bonus: insects don't like the chia plant so it is easier to find organically grown varieties. I expect we'll soon be hearing much more about chia and its health benefits.

Re: [TMIC] OT:Permission To Feel
Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has had the chance to listen to some of Tony Robbins work? It helped me more than I can explain. He's not your typical motivational "THINK POSITIVE blah blah blah" kind of guy. He teaches you to actually use your emotions in such a way that is very positive. Even the emotions that seem painful. He teaches you ways to change your perception and associations. I think it was a great investment. I bought the "Get the Edge" cd set that also came with a week of his "Personal Power" cd's. Just a suggestion..And NO I am not on his payrollha ha!!

I found that when I cried and would get upset (allowing myself to feel those feelings - and understandably these feelings are valid for anyone with this awful disease, where you suddenly can't walk, and feel sick etc.). But what I found is that crying and letting myself get really upset about it all just would make me feel really ill and unable to cope. (In fact, even my crying has altered, and it comes out as this strange barking sort of sound... weird!) What I found is that if I tried to keep everything fairly calm and relaxed, try to avoid stress, and not let myself get too upset, it seems to keep me in much better health. I'm sure everyone who had this disease would have cried at times over the whole shock and upset and stress of losing one's ability to walk, and so on... have other people found that it helped them to cry? That's sure not what I found.. It just gives me an awful headache, sore throat, and go all shaky and weak and basically feeling dreadful. But being calm and trying to relax and just accept things, and trying to go forward a bit at a time, seems to work much better for me. That's just my experience, anyway... Kate PS Hope this message goes through. The last ones I've tried have bounced and can't get through... :-/
