If you have nerve pain... Avoid these 4 foods

If you’re anything like me, you love food. Whether it’s seasoned steak or Caesar salad – if it’s on my plate I’m eating it. Unfortunately, if you’re living with nerve damage you’ve got to be a bit more particular with what you allow into your body. There are certain foods and ingredients that, if consumed regularly, can actually aggravate the pain and worsen the symptoms of neuropathy. It’s important to know what foods and ingredients are common culprits of aggravation as well as to keep a food journal to help determine which foods help or hurt you. To get you started, here’s a list of 4 foods or ingredients that everyone with nerve pain should limit or eliminate from their diet.

MSG

Monosodium glutamate, or MSG, is a flavor additive commonly found in frozen dinners. It contains a compound, known as glutamate, which further damages the nerves and intensifies the pain. Avoid any foods that contain MSG. Also check food labels for variations of its name. Other names for MSG include sodium caseinate, glutamic acid and yeast extract.

Aspartame 

Think that diet soda is good for you? Think again. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener often found in diet sodas, artificially sweetened yogurt and in the little artificial sweetener packages at restaurants. It interacts with different neurons in the body and actually heightens our sensitivity to pain. Doctors have found that eliminating diet sodas can help reduce and even eliminate symptoms of chronic pain.

Alcohol

Though I always enjoy a fine drink with my meals, I have to be careful how much alcohol I drink. Excessive alcohol intake is a known cause of neuropathy. Alcohol contains toxins that can negatively affect your nerves. These toxins damage your nerve tissue as well as reduce the levels of certain nutrients that are critical to nerve health.

Added Sugars 

Sugar can be a trigger for pain and anyone with chronic pain should limit his or her sugar intake, especially avoiding foods that provide a quick boost in sugar (i.e. soda, candy, etc.). Increases in the levels of sugar in the blood can result in inflammation and increased nerve pain. For those suffering from diabetic neuropathy, managing blood sugar is the single most important approach to stopping and even reversing nerve damage.

A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

A.A.A.D.D.
 Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

A.A.A.D.D. KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.  This is how it manifests:  I decide to water my garden.  As I turn on the hose in the driveway,  I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.  As I start toward the garage,  I notice mail on the porch table that  I brought up from the mail box earlier.  I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.  I lay my car keys on the table,  Put the junk mail in the garbage can  under the table,  And notice that the can is full.  So, I decide to put the bills back  On the table and take out the garbage first...  But then I think,  Since I'm going to be near the mailbox  When I take out the garbage anyway,  I may as well pay the bills first.  I take my check book off the table,  And see that there is only one check left.  My extra checks are in my desk in the study,  So I go inside the house to my desk where  I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.  I'm going to look for my checks,  But first I need to push the Pepsi aside  So that I don't accidentally knock it over.  The Pepsi is getting warm,  And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.  As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,  A vase of flowers on the counter  Catches my eye--they need water.  I put the Pepsi on the counter and  Discover my reading glasses that  I've been searching for all morning.  I decide I better put them back on my desk,  But first I'm going to water the flowers.  I set the glasses back down on the counter ,  Fill a container with water and  suddenly spot the TV remote.  Someone left it on the kitchen table.  I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote,  But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,  So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,  But first I'll water the flowers.  I pour some water in the flowers,  But quite a bit of it spills on the floor.  So, I set the remote back on the table,  Get some towels and wipe up the spill.  Then, I head down the hall trying to  Remember what I was planning to do.  At the end of the day:  The car isn't washed,  The bills aren't paid,  There is a warm can of  Pepsi sitting on the counter,  The flowers don't have enough water,  There is still only 1 check in my check book,  I can't find the remote,  I can't find my glasses,  And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.    Then, when I try to figure out  why nothing got done today,  I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,  And I'm really tired.  I realize this is a serious problem,  And I'll try to get some help for it,  but first I'll check my e-mail....  Do me a favor.  Forward this message to everyone you know,  Because I don't remember who I've sent it to.  Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming! P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me,  so if it was you, I'm sorry!

Verify your medicine by sending SMS

Counterfeit medicines cost the lives of thousands of people every year. It is an international problem contributing to illness, death, toxicity, and drug resistance.

Counterfeits are found in all types of medicines from expensive drugs to treat cancer to low-cost anti-TB drugs. A counterfeit medicine is a compound that is not made by an authorized manufacturer but is presented to you as if it were.

Since counterfeit drugs are not made by the legitimate manufacturer and are produced under unlawful circumstances, toxic contaminants or lack of proper ingredients may results in serious harm, or even death.

 

Need to verify your medicine

Across the developing world and in emerging markets, the problem is particularly acute.
The difficulty of counterfeit medicines is that non experts cannot tell the difference between a real and a counterfeit.. The packages are the same, the shape and size identical, but the substances inside do not contain the correct active ingredients and may be filled instead with harmful or ineffective elements.
Authenticating your medicine empowers you and your loved ones to know that the medicines they purchase are genuine products.

 

Where can you find the medicine codes?

Why some medicines don't have code?

PharmaSecure's unique identification codes are being implemented on select pharmaceutical products. Some medicines in the market might not have the code on it yet. This does not mean it is counterfeit. PharmaSecure is in the process of rolling out codes and it will take some time before all packages have codes printed on them.

Medical: Soviet Surgeon removed his own appendix

Antarctica, 1961: A Soviet Surgeon Has to Remove His Own Appendix

In 1961, Rogozov was stationed at a newly constructed Russian base in Antarctica. The 12 men inside were cut off from the outside world by the polar winter by March of that year. In April, the 27-year-old Rogozov began to feel ill, very ill. His symptoms were classic: he had acute appendicitis. "He knew that if he was to survive he had to undergo an operation," the British Medical Journal recounted. "But he was in the frontier conditions of a newly founded Antarctic colony on the brink of the polar night. Transportation was impossible. Flying was out of the question, because of the snowstorms. And there was one further problem: he was the only physician on the base."
 

There was no question that he'd have to operate. The pain was intolerable and he knew he was getting worse.

Operating mostly by feeling around, Rogozov worked for an hour and 45 minutes, cutting himself open and removing the appendix. The men he'd chosen as assistants watched as the "calm and focused" doctor completed the operation, resting every five minutes for a few seconds as he battled vertigo and weakness.
