Believing … or not

I take 1000-2000 mg per day. Some take more as a pre-workout supplement. Just start with a low dosage and increase gradually and see.

For pain, one dose of 2000 mg seems to work best to start. Of course, it also depends on the brand.
Excellent info, now I know how to get started. You forgot to mention one thing though: is this a supplement you take only to help overcome a difficult period and then you quit? Or do you take this as a supplement all year around? 6 months? Lifetime? Whats your take on the duration? That is my LAST question, promise
 
Well, to give you all an update: yesterday my MRI report came back and it shows NOTHING! Even two small hernias that I supposedly had in the 2016 MRI had shrunk or disappeared…! WTF? I never thought that was even possible. Nevertheless my mind now tells me that if it is not structural its got to be a soft tissue/muscle/tendon issue which is very possibly TMS right? Ive got to convince myself and take that and only that route. Even though the electric shocks make me go nuts when they happen.
BTW @Calvin87 what do you mean when you say you started medicating? What are you taking? Im taking an over the counter anti inflammatory and a valium 10 at night. Will do so for a week to try and relax my tense muscles and then I will try to go back to the Dr Sarno method and see if I can win this mind/body struggle. Sans medication. Or so I pray
Wow. That is great news!...it also kind of puts me at ease knowing that the electric shock does not mean damaged. I always find fear to be my biggest issue. I fear most physical activity with the fear of this electric type shock.

I take it every day. Sometimes more sometimes less. If I take too much, my vision become a bit blurry. That’s because increase in blood flow can lead to increase in lymph production. So if your lymphatic system does not clear fast enough, blurriness can happen.

Hi Jaslme,

Fear is one of the factors that delay recovery. In this video I explain how to avoid the mistakes that delay recovery.

 
Thanks Fred. Yes, I should be able to slowly not think about the spinal damage anymore …

Never heard about L-Argenine, definitely worth a try. How long do you take it for? Only for the duration of the crisis? Or is it a daily supplement? Anything to increase blood supply to those thirsty muscles. Thanks for the tip!

It may have been during the chat session here or in a FaceBook group, but someone said if you don’t fully believe, say to yourself I’m learning to believe.

Yes, that is a good starting point. As long as it is done consistently with the right mindset for full recovery.

One more supplement I highly recommend to take daily is vitamin D. Deficiency in vitamin D can lead to several medical conditions, including severe COVID. I explain more in this video.
