Hi all,

It has been months and I did have 1 relapse when I did not stick to my diet and supplement regime.  It took a few months to get back in remission.  I  am strict with my diet and supplements now constantly,  although Rejuven X was discontinued to make a new formula and am now taking something called UltraInflamx which tasted absolutely disgusting for weeks.  I think I had a mental issue that it took me awhile to get past, the taste and remember this is part of the cure.  Now I find it much nicer on my tastebuds, but most importantly of all! am back in remission, med free.  Have taken up reading to help calm me down, as when I had the full on flare up, I was very anxious all of the time, so I started reading on the toilet and on the couch and in bed.  Since August last year I have read all the Vampire Diary books and Stephan's Diaries.  Yes I know! I'm a VP Diaries die hard and love Damon and have great respect for Ian Somerhalder who is also dripping with sex!! a hawt-e.  Also read an author by the name of Lynsay Sands who writes about the Argenue Vampire series and have read 18 books and am waiting on a Feb 26th release:)  It has worked for me and I am very happy heaps of changes in my life I wear shorts that are in fashion again and they are short.  I feel sexier than I did before and have learnt to put myself first a bit more.  Our youngest is off to school tomorrow for the first time life is changing and is good.  My Mother has moved from Tasmania to live in Queensland with my sister, since dad passed away.  Life is good and I am living it I also finally brought a pair of long black boots come to just above my knee I loved them so much I now have 4 pairs of boots. :D

Well bye all I hope everyone is well.

Hi mum of 3. It's so great to hear positive stories. Thanks for taking the time for that. Do you mind explaining what inflamax is? Just curious.

Reading is a great use of toilet time :-)

Glad you're getting to wear shorts there in your Australian summer. We are happily jealous for you. We just finished with a deep freeze - it was -27C last week. Brrrrr. Today we have freezing rain. Hope you are safe from the flooding.

Take care

Is it the Plus 360?? Can you give some more info on how to use, do you have to eliminate other foods?

I don't know what plus360 is I live in Australia, yes I have eliminated gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, pork and red meat, tinned fish, condiments, soft drink, pizza, citrus fruits and juice. I eat a lot of organic or I get RSPCA chicken, turkey and I also eat fresh fish poached with either salad or rice love steamed rice and broccoli with boiled chicken use only sea salt and black pepper freshly ground. Had removed all canned food except organic tinned tomatoes and cream coconut milk when I make curry. No processed foods much eats lots of rice wheels and rice cakes, honey and oat spelt gluten free bread toasted made into toasts sandwiches without cheese. Lol you get used to it after awhile. drink water, rice milk, spiralina, and a ginger and honey tea you get that is Vietnamese comes in a jar as is jelly in substance really good for bowel. But just having my life back is worth the diet spring water is preferred as my naturopath says less chemicals the better only natural and fresh foods plenty of veg but no corn in any form. It was hard to give up caffeine thought I would die tried a coffee a few months later tasted awful. Who said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"
But I had different supplements for the first 2 months that got me into remission I got cocky once and started eating all different foods it caused a bad flare to me a couple of months to get over it have learn a valuable lesson and am so grateful I could get back into remission but I am med free and in remission and that's worth getting excited over !!!!

Mum- what kind of diet do you follow, do you still use ultrainflamx, and what other supplements do you take
Posted 2/14/2013 9:21 AM (GMT 0)
I'm still interested in this as well
Posted 2/14/2013 11:18 AM (GMT 0)
i am very interested in this also.... iv started drinking wheat grass powder in a morning finding it very helpful.

How much does this ultrainflamx cost? is it easily available to buy?

Cheers

Sorry I didn't see the posts above.. Can you
Please posts a link as I'm having trouble finding it, I've come up with a ultrainflamx ??

Good for you mumof3! Like you I had no remission until I changed my diet, similar to yours but not exact.
When conventional medicine doesn't work we have to take things into our own hands and save our own lives.

Glad you came back to tell your story. If it helps one person or gives another person a little hope and inspiration then well done.

Thank you imagardener2 it has been awhile I have been off enjoying life so much lately. The children are growing up spend more time out and doing things with them like ice skating yes me!!!! With the 2 eldest I really enjoy being on the ice and going to the movies, having more friends sleep over. Go camping in the van more often now have a much better sex life and do arts and crafts with the girls go bowling, dancing, go out and p,ay pool with friends. I am a social butterfly lol. Far cry from being chained to the toilet thank goodness may get to see these children grow up yet!

I think it is important we keep out options open and I realise what works for me may not work for others OH! And I read heaps now it keeps me grounded when I go to the loo, as I am reading and so involved in the book the body just functions more naturally, without that anxiousness lol
