Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Matt... I play guitar semi-professionally. When I really started playing alot again about 5 years ago, I started too fast too soon, and ended up with tendonitis/carpel tunnel real bad in both arms/wrists. For 2 years, I took 8 Advil per day, along with using ice and wrist braces. (I wonder if weak wrists/carpal tunnel have anything to do with candaisis???) Anyway, I know that was probably bad for my body, but my liver blood tests have been normal every time I had them checked over the past 2 years. The body is pretty resilient. Also, I think this diet can reverse harm we have done. The advil with sleep aid is a crutch for you. Give them up and search for some natural sleep aid ideas on here, and you'll probably sleep even better! I'm lucky to sleep 6 hours now, but I look forward to getting better on this diet eventually so that I can sleep like I could when I was younger! You could always have your liver levels checked with a blood test to ease your mind.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Also, I think Tylenol is a lot more harmful to the kidneys than Advil. Advil is more liver/stomach from what I've heard. One year of evening use doesn't sound like too much to worry about... but I'm no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Matt, I wouldn't worry too much about damage done. The body is a pretty amazing as is this diet. I have a feeling that you will sleep a lot better once you start the diet. I find if I eat coconut oil before going to bed I do not sleep as well. Lavender oil is nice to help one sleep, just rub it on your temples and smell it via diffuser or just take a few whifs. Valerian root, lemon balm and chamomile tea are also wonderful sleep aids. Epsom salt baths always make me sleep very good as well. Best in health!

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Matt, I had a friend who has bee relying on sleeping pill for 3 years. SHe is now losing her vision. Get alternatives. Find out the cause of your insomnia-stress? active mind? It helps if you take calcium/magnesium. Works for me everytime Joni Doug <organyze@...> wrote: Hi Matt... I play guitar semi-professionally.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Matt, Like Crystal said, your body will heal on this diet. If you have trouble sleeping without the Advil PM you can try taking magnesium citrate before going to bed. I take it and sleep great when before I used to wake up between midnight and 2 AM and then lie awake for hours. I take 800-1,000 mg - not sure what this group thinks about the amount. a > > Hi all, > I've been taking advil pm every night to help me sleep for a year. > I need to quit now that Im on the diet.Im concearned it may have hurt > my liver or kidneys. > Any opinions? > Matt > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Doug, Thank's for your reply, I play guitar too, every morning for about 2 hours. I think the diet will help your carpel tunel, it seems to fix just about everything else. I was taking 2 a night, not that many to hurt me I guess. How long have you been on the diet.

Any and all drugs are toxic/poisonous to the body, and they will depress your immune system and cause many problems. Instead, buy some good herbal combinations to help you sleep, or drink catnip or camomile tea before bed. You can also take a hot bath with Epsom Salts just before bedtime to help you sleep (your skin absorbs the magnesium and helps you relax). Taking magnesium citrate at bedtime is also helpful (maybe take your last dose at bedtime). If you need something for pain take White Willow Bark capsules. ==>If Advil affected your liver or kidneys you would have pain in those areas. If you want to make sure they are okay stop taking Advil, and do everything you can to help your body detoxify; see " How to Detoxify Effectively " , which is in the " C) Treatments " Folder.

Weak painful wrists/carpal tunnel can be caused by more than one or more factors: 1) A lack of B vitamins, particularly B6. All B vitamins should be taken together in a balanced B Complex tablet as I recommend in the Supplements list. 2) Candida toxins which make all of the body's cells go rigid, even white and red blood cells which lessens circulation particularly to the extremities - see the article " Candida Causes Cell Membrane Defects " in the " Candida, All About " Folder. 3) When the diet has lacked good saturated fats, the cells will incorporate bad fats into the make-up of the cell membranes, which makes them weak; cell membranes need to be made out of 50% saturated fat (lung cells require 100% saturated fat) in order to be healthy like nature intended. 4) Lack of balanced nutrients (my diet plus supplements) which all work together to make satrong cells, muscles, tendons, and other tissues in the body. 5) Too many toxins which can settle into different areas such as the wrists, joints, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
