  4. recovery techniques - what really works?

    Right but epsom salt won't dissolve in a cold bath. Plus it takes about 30 mins to get the magnesium into the skin, slightly less if u add baking soda, but still longer than recommended for a cold bath.

  5. recovery techniques - what really works?

    So to recap, magnesium oil on full body or cold or hot epsom salt bath. Cold is better for inflammation. Ten minutes in 55 degree water. Contrast showers 30 min later, 2:1 hot:cold. Foam rolling. Repeat everyday.

  9. dealing with "food comas"

    it's after every meal - the larger the meal, the more tired (probably a duh), but also if i do too many carbs (like too much oj, it's very pronounced lethargy) or if i just do too much (saturated) fat in general (probably not insulin there, just extreme caloric density). too much protein, either...

    yes, but r-ala is what i have at the moment. the caps are 200mg each. why do you think the 2g each of plcar and alcar are too much?

  11. dealing with "food comas"

    i take 2g each of alcar and plcar in the mornings, with 400mg r-ala (not na-r-ala) 30 mins prior. i will now start taking an additional 400mg or r-ala before each of my meals to see what this does. good idea? i was planning on getting the geronova once this bottle of r-ala runs out. what's the...

  15. when to take any kind of anti-inflammatories?

    good luck, it's possible to drastically reduce symptoms, depending on what kind of gi issues you have. my first step was to cut out all grains, legumes, and most dairy. then i figured out which FODMAP containing foods ****ed with me. then i used careful supplementation, such as magnesium...

  16. when to take any kind of anti-inflammatories?

    i've self experimented for over 5 years, i'm not a new puppy to treating ibs/ibd with food, supplements and lifestyle choices. but the bottom line is facing tough truths. not all of us are genetically lucky and death and pain is inevitable. armchair quarterbacks need not apply, because they have...

  17. when to take any kind of anti-inflammatories?

    acid/alkaline is total and complete bunk. the body adjusts ph on a moment to moment basis by breathing. "meat" is no more acidifying than a lemon is "alkalanizing". total mythology.

    salicylic acid with adequate vitamin k does not cause upset bowels.

    so, if i hear right, a food coma is caused by "too much" insulin release post-eating? am i correct? if not, please correct me. also, how would one deal with food comas? i have heard that 16:8 fasting works because then we are only getting 1 or 2 insulin releases during the 8 hr feeding window...
