Did you know...

Did you know that vitmain B12 is one of the main vitamins that helps your body replenish blood cells. I have been chronically low in blood about 2 years now and doctors haven't really been able to figure out why. I consistently ask my modern medicine doctors about whether they think diet can help with my issues. The usual response I get is that they haven't known of any particular diet that helps with my condition(s). I think it's kinda crazy because I KNOW how much diet matters, just by the way it affects me. For me diet determines whether I am able to walk, get myself dressed, use the restroom on my own, OR not.
 What's even more crazy is that about 2 years ago I stopped eating red meat and dairy. This is about the same time I became anemic and I know its dumb of me but I never put the 2 together until now.

Dairy and beef are primary foods that provide b12. Since receiving b12 injections, reintroducing beef ( FREE RANGE ORGANIC ONLY) into my diet and getting iron infusions - my blood levels have already come up. Who would of thought?! Right?

I wish I knew, but just one more thing I've learned from suffering. So if you know anyone low in blood, b12 or anemic- Have them eat diary ( the good diary, from a good source)!!

Why did I stop eating diary?? Because for the most part diary is known as an inflammation food. Rationally thinking, with eczema and RA you want to stay away from anything that causes inflammation and that is why. 


So my follow-up is Thursday and the hemotologist will direct me as to whether I need to continue with iron infusions or not. I had blood drawn today for this.

Since I mentioned eczema...I wanted you to know I have had this the longest of any of my issues. Lately, Ive had a rash on my hands so bad it is typically red and almost raw. Every soap burns and hurts it, even ALL-NATURAL/ ORGANIC ones. Here is the ONLY soap that does not burn my skin and leaves it moisturized. Just thought I would share. I pay $18.50 and I get it from redlands wellness. I think its on amazon too. You can use it for shampoo too.
