"Healthy" living -- is it ever too late?

[sophiastarchild]

Ok, first off...I am NOT giving up cannabis. When I say healthy living, I mean no cigarettes or alcohol, lots of water, vegetables, exercise, etc...

I am wondering, have I sustained permanent and unfixable damage from all the horrible things I've done in the past? Like...smoking cigarettes, sniffing chemicals, smoking out of aluminum cans, doing meth, coke, smoking crack, and once I drank an entire bottle of Nyquil (I was extremely troubled in my late teens...)

Now that I'm older, I want to be healthy and live long. I wonder if any of the above mistakes have fucked me up in some way for life.

I don't feel bad or anything, other than a nagging smokers' cough from the cigs. I'm just kind of paranoid.

No, you're just paranoid. I think you're husband should take it easy on you for a while, it seems like you're nerves have been pretty, torn up lately. It takes seven years for your body to totally cleanse itself of cigarettes, I heard that several years ago.

Are you sure you didn't mean...

Now that I'm older, I want to be healthy and smoke a bong.

Who wants to be old anyway :rasta:

Yes it's possible to get healthy, although healing does take time. Two years of healthy living is adequate time to get really healthy. Many movie stars from the 70s and 80s did a lot of hard drugs, but have since changed their ways and gotten quite healthy. Drinking lots of water actually doesn't do much good, but instead try teas (like green tea), and juices (really healthy ones like blueberry, cranberry, spirulina smoothies, etc). Eat fish instead of meat, and use healthy oils like olive and canola. Stay away from deep fried foods. And marijuana is fine, but consider marijuana drinks like Bhang.

My advice.

Begin by concentrating on your most powerful antioxidants.

Ascorbic acid. Minimum, 10-12 full grams/day 4xday. This will keep your plasma levels constant. Any type of stress or smoking, anything will lower your plasma levels, so your body cant fight off disease.

Low plasma levels means lymphocytes are ineffective which makes you suseptible to flues and pnuemonias. Lymphocytes are like a car and ascorbic is like gas. Lymphocytes kill foreign invaders of the body.

There is no pharmaceutical product that will activate lymphocytes. Ascorbic acid is the only way. That is a scientific fact. Ascorbic is water soluble and is quickly eliminated in the urine. Anything less than this amount is worthless. This will protect the linings of your lungs as well as many other functions of the body, arterial walls, collegen, lymphocytes etc. many.

Just enter (ascorbic smoking) in your search box and see how many hits comes up.

There are four mammals on the planet that have lost the one enzyme in the liver of three to synthesize ascorbic naturally,

The human, The primate, The guinea pig and the fruit eating bat.

This is thought due to early migration patterns in evolution. So it is essential. You will die in 200 days without it as the British sailors learned in 1750 and the first Antarctic expedition when both found themselves without a citrus source. Many died of disease related to scurvy.

Dogs produce their own ascorbic naturally in the liver. This can easily be measured in the urine output especially when they are stressed. This is also why they can eat dirty things off the ground and not get sick. But this declines as they age. Humans need an external constant source to fight disease as do the other mammals listed and why they consume fruits that have ascorbic naturally. So smoking, (anything) and stress will dramatically lower your ascorbic plasma levels to marginal. This is the threshold of where disease occurs.

When ascorbic plasma levels are low many things begin to happen to the body known as scurvy. But many more diseases that fall under the condition of acute induced scurvy right now plague our society, heart disease being one.

You can prevent scurvy with a minimal amount of ascorbic, usrda, but preventing the diseases of acute induced scurvy require a greater amount.

Dont worry, ascorbic is the least toxic substance on the planet and mercury is one of the most toxic.

It is funny when I mention to people to take increased amounts of ascorbic yet these are the same people who have multiple grams of mercury amalgam in their teeth leeching into their blood stream through the pulp. Have that removed and replaced with composite by the way if you have it. Very bad for the internal organs.

Ascorbic is not toxic to the body until doses of 500 grams are reached in 24 hours.

Ascorbic carrys a free electron and neutralizes free radicals and simultaneously fuels lymphocytes. So the idea is you are throwing away the bulk of the ascorbic for the free electron carried. Ascorbic is also a powerful bacteriostat in the urinary system.

I have used the "titration" method to knock out pneumonia in short order. It works as a reducing agent preventing a free radical cascade which overwhelms the immune system. This is how flues turn into pneumonias and how pnemonias lead to death. Its a cascade effect due to stagnate lymphocytes.



Check the Linus Pauling institute for dose reccomendations on the following powerful antioxidants:

Vitamin E (fat soluble so dont think more is better).
Vitamin A (fat soluble same thing dont think more is better)
CoQ10, powerful antioxidant.(kinda of pricey because Japan holds patent rights on this molecule. Great for the heart as well.

OR
You could just take a good multivitamin with E and A and supplement with COQ10 and the higher dose of ascorbic. Ascorbic and E are synergistic together.


also add omega 3,6,9 oil to your diet 4-6 grams/ day divided.

All 4 of these combined with the low glycemic diet. One that is low in processed sugar and refined carbs, white bread, white rice, etc. will dramatically help your health and protect your lungs,skin internal organs. But it is not an excuse to keep doing harmful things just because you are supplementing.

The vegetarian diet supplemented with a protien source from a protien powder or soymilk is a good way to get the protein without eating meat, which is full of hormones, dyes, and as we have found out in the news other things which are not supposed to be in the cattles diet, (spine and brain) which scientist have known by studying cannables in Borneo causes the mad cow symptoms. I have no idea why this stuff gets anywhere near the cattles food supply and why I keep hearing about this. Frankly I just dont trust what they feed these animals.

I would stick to turkey, chicken and fish from a natural supplier and not the grocery store.

If you can neutralize free radicals in the body you can keep disease from forming including cancers.

Crispyfriend reccomended green tea. That is a good also. Cranberry juice is also good provided it has no added sugar (high fructose corn syrup) etc. Olive oil is good as well. He also says avoid fried foods. I agree alot with that .I havent ate french fries for many, many years. In fact I avoid fast food altogether.

There are many things you can do with what you eat and supplement with to keep you healthy.

YOu can avoid heart disease by supplementing with the dose of ascorbic listed above, the ascorbic will dramatically strengthen the arterial walls, and the addition of the amino acids, Lysine and Proline.

This will strengthen arterial walls so the body doesnt respond with sticky cholesterol to repair the weakened arteries. (thats what heart disease really is). The good cholesterol/bad cholesterol is a myth. Lpa is the true villian. The Lysine and Proline will disolve arterial plaques while simultaneously making Lpa non sticky. So its a three part effort.

That should at least help you get started. Good to see you are making changes.

Moderation in everything including weed. It does have deletereous effects on the body regardless of what anyone says. Especially libido for long term heavy use.


Take care.

we need more people like you to make more posts like this, see people this is how its done. a perfectly written response including information , personal experiences, and you're opinion. You stimluated my mind... thank you keep it up:thumbsup: :rasta:

[Crispyfried]

Excess vitamin C will do essentially nothing for you. The frontiers in nutrition and medicine lie with many different types of phytochemicals that plants produce, and which are not the common, basic essential nutrients such as vitamin C. I am so tired of all the bogus diet crap out there. Just read some scientific articles.

EDIT

OK sorry most of that info is fine but the vitamin C stuff is a bit too much/too outdated.
