  1. Help a brother out

    You'd be surprised: if you get enough calories from fat, you won't be hungry and you'll stop craving sugar.
  2. Help a brother out

    Low carb. Eliminate sugar from your life. Use that 30 minutes to walk each day.
  3. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    When I first noticed my BP climbing, was biking four or five times a week. My sister started getting increases in BP at a similar age, and she walks six or seven days a week; we have completely different dietary approaches. Mine is high protein+fat/low carb. Her's is more traditional low...
  4. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    I realize folks are wound up about recent big pharma issues, but not sure why you'd denigrate a safe and effective drug that helps tens of millions of people. Yes, coughing is a side effect. I definitely get it from Lisinopril. It's annoying, but not awful. All of the ACE inhibitor drugs...
  5. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    Assuming you meant me: Read post #14, just above yours. No change.
  6. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    Wanted to follow up on the comment I made about my right hand swelling. No change once I went back to my normal BP med. I think I've got the early stages of arthritis in my right hand: First and second knuckles of my middle finger. I do a light duty version of Keto, very little sugar and...
  7. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    I have the same reaction to too much Lisinopril, but it does control my blood pressure. If you try the Nattokinase, be careful with the combo. The potential to make you dizzy because your BP gets too low is very much there. I stopped the Lisinopril the day I started the Nattokinase...
  8. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    Doctor's Best, 2000Fu's. I took my BP every day during the experiment.
  9. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    About 11 days in, and BP has remained in roughly the same range as while on the prescription. Coinciding with this, I've developed some mild swelling and pain on the back of my right hand and middle finger. Going to switch back to the prescription and see if there is any involvement between...
  10. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    Will do. She's actually rational and curious, so I'm not expecting a crazy conversation. Like most docs these days, she's an employee. She has a young family, so I don't expect her to tilt at windmills for me. Lisinopril/HCTZ is off patent. I doubt anybody is making much money from it. In...
  11. Nattokinase for lowering blood pressure

    Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted from a fermented, Japanese soybean. It's shown some promise as a blood pressure and stroke reducer. Some early, lab-based evidence suggests it may interfere with the COVID19 spike protein's ability to bond to cells. I take a very mild dose of Lisinopril/HCTZ...
  12. Are you current on your tetanus shot?

    I was overdue and updated mine a few years ago. I like to re-use rusty nails, so I thought it was a good idea. :) I know the Hart County public health department offers tetanus shots. Check with your county health department if you want to skip a doc appointment but still get your shot.
  13. Think weed is harmless?

    Unfiltered Lucky Strikes were all natural and stronger, too. Too much of a good thing is often no longer a good thing.
  14. Think weed is harmless?

    Life is short. Do as you will. Just don't guinea pig yourself on the unnaturally potent stuff.
  15. Think weed is harmless?

    My comment about toxicity doesn't have to equate to an immediately lethal event, but rather the kind of brain alteration (damage?) referred to by the several addiction experts in the OP article.
  16. Think weed is harmless?

    Nearly all chemical substances have a toxicity point, which will vary by individual. For some people, it's possible to drink enough alcohol for it to be lethal. THC wouldn't be any different, in the sense that at some level of concentration, it dramatically alters the brain's function...
  17. Think weed is harmless?

    Very unfortunate. I have long believed that MJ should be legal. But turbo-charging it, and then having people take the concentrated versions endlessly? It's a formula for disaster. The people in that business should find the brake pedal. They're going to kill customers, and then their own...
  18. School me on bicycles

    About 30 years ago, when we started dating, my future wife dropped a few hundred bucks on a Bridgestone MB5. Seemed like a lot to me at the time, but the quality is there (bike and wife, both). That bike is still in the garage. It's heavier than a lot of the newer stuff made today, but...
