Needs must! I'm glad you've found something that works for you.

some happies are happening for me during this past year... i came across talk online about experiments with "amino acid" therapy for folks with CMT, and found talk about how our main problems is that we are deficient in particular amino acids because we have a problem having enough enzymes...

i can't remember ANY of the names they mentioned, but as soon as they said "amino acids" and "enzymes" the FIRST thing i thought of was "sprouts"! haha

so now i eat an *insane* amount of sprouts every day (about 2 cups of)... 1 cup with lunch and 1 cup with dinner... its like i am eating 2 salads that are NOTHING but sprouts.. it sounds insane but for at least 3 decades i have been slowly losing feeling and mobility in my body and during the past year that loss (at first) stopped.. and for the past 6 months (at least) i have been getting the feeling back in my hands and feet...

i have no idea how far this will go, but to just STOP all of the feeling loss, and being able to stay "awake" all day long, is a freakin' miracle to me. <3 bs"d!

That's amazing! Hopefully at some point they'll have better information and you can eat a wider range of things, or take a pill, or they'll find a cure. But for now, that's a hell of a lot better than nothing!

i just took these pics so you can see what i am doing... the bin that is sitting on the kitchen table, will be there for a couple hours to "green" itself and then i put the sprouts in a baggie in the fridge... i eat one half in the afternoon and the other half at night (i guessed it was 1 cup per)...

the bins stacked up next to the sink, every day i put a new bin of seeds at the top of the stack and take the bottom bin out to eat on that day...

That is so great! Sprouts FTW! I hope it continues well for you.
