Proper nutrition is one of the most important things you can do to not only to stay healthy but also to maintain great skin integrity. Without enough protien in your diet, your skin can lose its elasticity which can lead to skin breakdown and just about everything else. I'm talking from over twenty-five years of experience, mistakes and learning what works and what doesn't, I've been on both sides of the fence -- with good healthy skin integrity by changing my diet and adding supplements the help keep the body strong to the exact opposite which led to skin breakdown. By simply adding supplements is some of the cheapest insurance you can purchase to change your life for the better! I've been sick one time in the past ten years and I only have my supplements to thank as they've kept my skin in great shape and me healthy! Also I've been working out with "Thera-Bands", low cost elastic bands that have helped to build up my upper body, arms, neck along with my back in ways it hasn't seen in 25+ years. My abdominal muscles and pecks are coming back in the way that I never dreamed possible. The doctors labeled me a "C4-C5 quadriplegic with a severed spinal cord" but since early Dec December 2009 I've been packing on the muscle of someone who might be the midchest area paraplegic! This is been very exciting to me, to put it lightly since I'm feeling muscle that I haven't in over a quarter century or I'd rather worded it "twenty-five years" because it doesn't sound as long! With the daily work-out with "Thera-Bands" tied to either my bedpost or under the rear wheels of my wheelchair and wrist's, feeling the burn from the work out is more fun than I ever imagined even though I did prior to my spinal cord injury all the time, this gives me much more satisfaction nowadays! That work out by far is the toughest angle to work by pulling on every muscle group in the upper body and chest, if you haven't tried it yet all I can say is "Go for It" you have nothing to lose but many more years of your life to gain than you'd ever expect! Below are the supplements I've been taking which have not only given me more feeling but it's helped pack on muscle mass/growth on like you'd never believe! There's more on what I've been doing below. I have nothing to gain but the satisfaction of knowing that I've help someone else who's in the same situation as myself. I'm not making a a thin dime out of recommending these supplements to you! You can buy them from a multitude of different suppliers but I recommend the following: VitaCost.com iHerb.com SeacoastVitamins.com and others can and will save you a lot of money over shopping locally. |
Siru-Tein |
Spiru-Tein is a great source of vitamins that you don't need to choke down each and every morning! I just mix it with some soy milk, another supplement I take and down the hatch it goes, nice and smooth with a taste that out of this world! I'd recommend this as a great replacement for a small meal or supplement it with another small snack and you're set for the day! it's not only a great great source of protein and it makes for a terrific breakfast drink. It'll keep you from putting on weight yet with it being packed with a ton of vitamins to keep you not only healthy but it tastes great too! Spirutein is available at just about any health food store, online retailer and it doesn't cost too much! I purchased it at VitaCost.com, iHerb.com and many other places at great prices! |
Colostrum |
Colostrum's a great supplement that'll boost your immune system and it'll help ward off colds, a flu bug and everything else you can think of. I've been no one time in the past ten years that I've been taking this brand, "Sedona Lab's" MetaFoods 100% New Zealand Colostrum powder supports a healthy immune response and the healthy integrity of the stomach and intestinal lining. Colostrum is the first food of life. New Zealand colostrum is known for its purity and effectiveness. New Zealand colostrum herds are pasture-fed and are raised without the use of hormones, pesticides or antibiotics and if so much unlike any other brand of colostrum I've tried. Being that I've used it since 2000 and only sick one time since then -- I was using another brand of colostrum. That's why I'm so big on Meta-Food also known as Sedona Labs colostrum and no other brand as they don't give me the same benefits as Meta- Food/Sedona Labs brand. |
HCl L-Arginine & L-Ornithine L-Arginine |
Since I started taking HCL in December 2009 I began to notice that along with my work out routine each morning that my upper body muscles were exploding like never before May 1985 when I had my accident. This totally and completely blew me away, but doctors told me that I was a "C4/C-5 quadriplegic with a severed spinal cord" though my body was telling me different! By taking this supplement which has all the positive benefits to that of a HGH (human growth hormone) but it's completely natural, safe and helps you pack on muscle, take off weight plus so much more. Unlike taking an HGH, this is 100% natural and doesn't have any ill side effects that could possibly hurt you BUT it does is help you out in more ways then you'll ever believe -- until you try it! You can Google "HCl L-Arginine & L-Ornithine L-Arginine" and you'll come up with more information on all the positive aspects you can get from taking it. Unfortunately, it's only made by one online company, Vitacost.com but their prices are realistic and it's not very expensive, cheap enough that I can afford it add around $17.99 for 300/2000 mg capsules and I take three in the morning, three in the evening before bed. I swear, I don't get any sort of kickback or royalties from people purchasing these different items; I only post it here so that I can hopefully help out at least a few more people who are in the same boat as myself! More Information on HCl L-Arginine & L-Ornithine L-Arginine that I copied off Vitacost.com website: Two important amino acids in one convenient supplement. What is NSI L-Arginine HCl & L-Ornithine? NSI L-Arginine & L-Ornithine is a combination of two closely-related amino acids in one supplement. L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid which means that under normal conditions the body can synthesize sufficient L-arginine, but certain health situations can increase the demand for L-arginine beyond the body’s ability to make it. L-arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, an important molecule that promotes vasodilation (relaxation of blood vessels) which is important for healthy blood flow. L-Ornithine is a nonprotein amino acid which the body uses to make L-arginine. Why choose NSI L-Arginine HCl & L-Ornithine? NSI L-Arginine & L-Ornithine taken in conjunction with high intensity strength training may help increase strength and lean body mass. L-arginine may stimulate nitric oxide production. High dose L-arginine may help to maintain blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range. L-arginine may be a valuable nutrient for men’s sexual health. 2,000-6,000 mg of L-ornithine may help improve occasional physical fatigue |
I started taking Meta-Food//Sedona Labs colostrum after spending New Years Eve//New Year's Day in the hospital from having bronchial pneumonia to where I ended up drinking way too much water which depleted my body sodium level. When it didn't this my former significant other would ask me a question and would give hera real off-the-wall answer in return that didn't make any sense whatsoever. At first she didn't know what to think, she even thought that maybe I was just messing with her brain, something I do the many people but as I started getting more and I was getting even more "stupid" per se, she knew something was wrong and took me to our local hospital. Prior to going to the hospital, I was doing what they always say to do "drink plenty of fluids..." and that is what I did by putting out over two and a half gallons of urine in less than six hours! After the doctors did blood work and determined that my sodium was well below just dangerously low. They put me on very strict limitations of no more than 1000 cc's of fluids over a 24-hour period which to me felt like forever. To make a long story short,after I was discharged from the hospital my significant other had me taking some Sedona Labs brand of colostrum. For the next ten years I was without a single illness, cold or anything else but something else was beginning to change; when I go to the grocery store to pick up anything cold and it was on my lap, I began to feel a difference between normal temperature and cold. At first I thought, "OK, it's all in my head because I was told that I had severed my spinal cord well over fifteen years earlier and there's no way that this could be happening. The only change in my life was and taking "Meta-Food/Sedona Labs Colostrum" and nothing else and changed. After looking up the benefits of colostrum on the Internet, I found all the beneficial/side effects and taking colostrum and just what it does to not only the human body but that of a baby calf also. If boost not only the immune system but it also helps in developing many other positive effects on the human body also. So lo and behold, Sedona labs colostrum was doing more than just boosting my immune system, it might very well be helping my spinal cord regenerate itself where it was "severed" as the doctors told me. Granted I haven't had any type of Dr. try and prove me correct or even disproves my facts either that nothings going to stop me from continuing to take Sedona Labs brand of colostrum either! Have I found the "Fountain of Youth" or should I say, "The Fountain to Spinal Cord Regeneration?" Until someone proves me wrong or can prove to me it's "snake oil", I'll take the stuff until I'm blue in the face! Until then, I'll continue promoting colostrum as a fantastic supplement for anyone with a spinal cord injury, stroke, head injury or any health issue that might need not great immune booster but possibly help to mend any type of injuries. That was in 1999/2000 and as of December 2009 I've added NSI HCl L-Arginine & L-Ornithine L-Arginine as a second supplement to my daily diet. All I can say is, "Try it, it helped me and if it helps you..." If I can succeed in changing even one persons life in a positive way, I'll have made my 25+ years with a spinal cord injury well worth second for others! Depending on where you purchase these products, they will give you a money back guarantee if you aren't 100% satisfied. So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Always check with the seller that you purchase them from for more details. I normally shop at either Vitacost.com, Seacoastvitiams.com, iHerb.com or one of many others but the only place that you can purchase the HCL (this brand anyways) is at Vitacost.com. |
