Pain & Inflammation Protocol

 

 

 Serrapeptase- 

 Known as the Miracle Enytme, Serrapeptase actually digests (dissolves) non-living tissue, blood clots, cysts, and arterial plaque and inflammation in all forms. Just imagine how helpful for your health that can be.

Must be taken on an empty stomach,  I recommend 4 hours pre or post meal. 

I personally keep it bedside as I usually wake up once or twice, I then take it as I know my stomach is empty.

Black Seed Oil -

Black Seed is considered to be the greatest healing herb of our time and it has been much neglected. It is being used to strengthen the immune system, fight and combat inflammation, irradiate Prostate Cancer and other tumors, purify the blood and increase longevity. Black seed was found in King Tut's tomb, proving the value of this herb to the Kings.

Take twice a day, morning and evening

• Niagen improves skin tone and texture, including reduced pigmentation and fine lines, firmer skin where skin had previously lost its elasticity, a smoother texture and less dry patches (on places such as elbows, knees, heels and hands).
• Stronger hair and nails. You may also notice an improvement in lustre and colour.
• Improvements in mental clarity and memory.
• NAD is imperative for our sleep cycles, so you may notice improved sleep patterns.

2) Astaxanthin

 Astaxanthin is essentially the king of all carotenoids (the class of antioxidants that gives healthy food fare like salmon, tomatoes, persimmons, and carrots their glowing hue of orange. significantly more potent than skin-enhancing vitamin C and vitamin E.

Protects against UV rays

 Enhances the immune system

 Wards off wrinkles

Naturally Moisturizes Skin From the Inside Out

 Fights free radicals (astaxanthin can help the skin respond to oxidative damage from environmental aggressors, such as the sun, as well as inhibit free radical formation)

3)  Ubiquinol CoQ10

CoQ10 helps mitochondria make energy for your skin cells, which makes your skin cells work better and stay younger.

 Research shows that CoQ10 supports improved mitochondrial function in the human body, and one study showed that it preserves your mitochondria so that your skin cells can get their energy via mitochondria longer, instead of switching to anaerobic energy production that contributes to skin structure breakdown.[

 4) Phytoceramides

shown to hydrate human skin and restore its youthful structure after the skin cells’ protective barrier function had been disrupted.

t phytoceramides reduced levels of free radicals in the skin and inhibited elastase enzymes, which would ordinarily destroy elastin and contribute to loss of skin flexibility and increased wrinkling.

Ceramides have also been shown to inhibit melanogenesis, the process by which the skin produces the hyperpigmentation behind age spots and other discolorations of the skin. This suggests that by replacing ceramides from the inside out, oral wheat-derived phytoceramides may inhibit or reverse the uneven pigmentation of skin aging

5) Pomegranate Extract 

Pomegranate is a powerful fruit rich in polyphenols like anthocyains, ellagic acid, and many other plant polyphenols. These ingredients are the reason why pomegranate extract is so effective as they help to detox the skin of free radicals while also repairing skin that could have been damaged from environmental factors like UV radiation. The anthocyains in pomegranate work similarly to how Vitamin C found in citrus fruit is beneficial for skin—it's not the pomegranate itself, as much as it is what comprises pomegranate.

 Pomegranates may help protect against premature aging by helping reduce the signs of skin aging caused by sun damage and exposure, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Pomegranates may also help prevent hyper-pigmentation and age spots.

INFLAMMATION

 Black Seed Oil

 Black Cumin’s main component, Thymoquinone, demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties, meaning it helps treat the immune response that causes pain, swelling, and redness. 

Thymoquinone is also said to be analgesic meaning it helps manage pain. 

Researchers have also found Thymoquinone to reduce fevers (i.e., it’s antipyretic), kill harmful microorganisms (i.e., it’s antimicrobial) and treat high blood pressure (i.e., it’s antihypertensive). 

Its multifaceted nature makes it the perfect supplement to treat inflammation and the complications that can derive from it.

 

Dose instructions:

1 to 2 teaspoons a day.

AM Before coffee or breakfast

Take early evening for additional support, which will also allow your body to heal & recover better during sleep.

Serrapeptase-

Known as the miracle enzyme, Serrapeptase has proven itself to be an impressive multi-purpose anti-inflammatory without the side effect. This proteolytic enzyme not only reduces pain but may also inhibit arterial plaque build-up.

1. It may reduce inflammation by thinning the fluids formed from injury, and facilitating the fluid’s drainage. This in turn, also speeds tissue repair.
2. It may help alleviate pain by inhibiting the release of pain-inducing amines called bradykinin.
3. It may enhance cardiovascular health by breaking down the protein by-products of blood coagulation called fibrin. Conveniently, Serrapeptase is able to dissolve the fibrin and other dead or damaged tissue without harming living tissue. This could enable the dissolution of atherosclerotic plaques without causing any harm to the inside of the arteries  

Dose instructions:

First two weeks, take one, once a day on an empty stomach

After two weeks take two together, once a day on an empty stomach

It us very important that you take serapeptase on an empty stomach.Either 4 hours before a meal or 4 hours post.

This can be inconvenient for some. I personally keep it on my bedside table, as I always wake up once or twice through out the night. I than take it.

Intimacy after Injury

Intimacy after injury. It's a subject most people wouldn't want to talk about. Not only are you dealing with the physical aspects of the injury, but you are dealing with the emotional and psychological aspects too. 


Recovering from a traumatic injury is not only a physical but task, but a psychological one. I know from my own personal experience, being injured at the age of 26 there was a lot on my mind that went beyond just the physical healing. One of my first thoughts was, what about intimacy? My injuries were so traumatic that the nerve damage in my sacrum and pelvis caused issues with nerve function in the lower half of my body.I didn't know if I was ever going to heal completely. Lot's of questions came to mind. If you've ever suffered a traumatic injury,  I'm sure some of you can probably relate.  

These are just a few of the questions that came to my mind: 

Will women still find me attractive? 

Will I ever be in a relationship again? 

How will I ever find a partner who accepts me for who I am now? 

How will my body perform?

What if never fully heal? 

What if sex isn't the same? 

What if I can't perform at all? 

How will I please my partner?

Let's face it, being in my 20's...these things were all very important to me.


When I was ready to start dating again I "hid" my injury until after the first meeting. When I say, "hid"...I mean, I wore jeans. But was very up front in saying that I had suffered a traumatic injury, without giving away too many details up front. It was a personal choice. I wanted the other person to get to know me first as a person, before making a judgement based on my physical appearance alone. From my experience this has always worked for me. Fortunately, everyone I've dated has been very receptive and understanding of my injury. But what I did notice was that the most important thing with dating was to carry confidence with you wherever you go. I always kept my head held high and I walked like a rock star when I entered a room. Confidence and charisma go a long way.



Through my journey of healing I learned more than I could have ever imagined about intimacy. My thoughts on intimacy actually grew to a level I never understood before. With the right partner, I learned that intimacy goes beyond the physical. True intimacy is about making strong emotional connections and expressing those emotions in both physical and non-physical ways. I also learned that intimacy goes much deeper than physical attraction. Intimacy is about love and respect for another human being on so many levels. With the right person, intimacy after injury can be a wonderful thing. What I came to understand was that anyone who doesn't accept or love you for EXACTLY who you are, isn't worth your time. 


 
 

Climbing Mt. Woodson

If you live in the San Diego area, you might be familiar with Mt. Woodson (A.K.A. Potato Chip Rock) It is rightly named because of its unique "potato chip" shape. Part of the rock juts straight out and extends over a breathtaking drop that gives the impression you are sitting on the edge of the world. The infamous Potato Chip rock is located at the peak of Mt. Woodson in Poway at an elevation of 2300 ft.  There are two entrances to the Mt. Woodson trail. The Poway side entrance is a longer stretch, but has a flatter and steady terrain.  From the Ramona side, the trail to the top is very steep, with constant and strenuous inclines at roughly 4.2 miles roundtrip. It is no easy task for the average person to summit the peak with such steep inclines and rising daytime temperatures . But that has never stopped me before.

With my Ossur Reflex Shocks, hiking up the steady incline was much easier due to the energy return and impact absorption. The steep incline required a more forward lean, with more pressure placed on the "toes" of the prosthesis. This offered greater balance and better forward motion. Because of the superior performance of the Ossur Reflex Shocks, my hike to the top was much smoother and more comfortable than I had anticipated.

Reaching the summit took roughly 2 hours of steady climbing. But the time and sweat equity was well worth it. The panoramic view from the top is incredible. Not only that, but I had the fortune of meeting some other local hikers on my journey to the top. Everyone I encountered seemed genuinely amazed at my ability to complete such a task. I enjoy any opportunity that I can impact the way others think and offer inspiration.

We all face challenges in our day to day lives.  As an amputee living with prosthesis doesn't have to be a part of those challenges. With the right attitude, a positive outlook and determination anything is possible. I am living proof.
