Chronic Pain and Exhaustion

If you're suffering from chronic pain, you know what it's like to feel like you're stuck in a constant state of exhaustion. You might be wondering if there's any relief for your situation, and we have good news—there is!

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), 1/3 of Americans use alternative medicine. That's because people are tired of treating the symptoms instead of the cause. As of 2021, 51.6 million people are in chronic pain, and 17.1 million people have experienced high impact chronic pain.

What if we told you that Holistic Remedies could help? The American Holistic Medical Association estimates that over half of their members practice some form of alternative medicine.

Natural vs Synthetic

Once upon a time (yes it really was, like, back in the day), our ancestors found comfort in the natural world. The trees, the woods, the stones — they were all things people used to discover homes and food sources and treat their own illnesses, from small scrapes to life-threatening infections. And astoundingly enough, this practice of using nature as medicine existed long before modern pharma companies had the chance to regale us with their fancy synthetic concoctions that are supposedly just as good as Mother Nature's herbal 'cures'. The pharmaceutical companies are not interested in cures or preventing the symptoms of an ailment, they are interested in profits. It's no secret that there are many side effects associated with pharmaceuticals that can be life threatening. The commercials on TV always tell you about all of the possible side effects but not how much it will cost or even if it will work for your ailment. And while they're not lying when they say that t...

When My Doctors Would Not Help With My Pain

After my major spine surgery I was sent home with 20 percocet. I was instructed to take one pill every six hours for pain. If you calculate the instructions that would be five days of pain medicine. I had a tumor removed from my spinal cord, 4 lamina removed from my thoracic spine with no hardware replacing it. My Serratus posterior superior muscles was cut through (upper back major muscle) and four nerve roots were also cut through in order to get to the tumor. To this day I still have CSF leak in my spinal cord as well. While in the hospital ( two days in ICU and 5 days afterwards) I was given dilaudid for the pain.

I was told to take 1000 mg of acetaminophen every six hours, 800 mg of ibuprofen every four hours, valium for muscle spasms three times a day, and the ever so wonderful gabapentin three times a day for ner...

Treating Food as Medicine for Chronic Pain

Are you tired of living with chronic pain? I know I was! I felt like no doctor was listening to my concerns and with the new opioid restrictions, the thought of relief was just a dream. Chronic pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life. Imagine being able to do the things you love without constant discomfort. Picture a life where you can focus on the things that matter the most to you. With the right approach and guidance, it's possible to reduce the impact of chronic pain on your daily life. I have mentioned in my other posts, my doctors wanted me to take an insane amount of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on a daily basis. My main concern was that my liver and kidneys would be damaged and guess what? I would be in even more pain because lets get real, ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not take away chronic pain. I was also given gabapentin, which is a prescription drug used as an anticonvulsant. However, they are distributing this drug like tic-tacs for...
