Icahn School of Medicine (sister of the abusive Beth Israel/Mt Sinai NYC closed-servicing HIP in NYC now EmblemHealth, also with massive complaints filed on their care) is using trials on humans in a border neighborhood of the impoverished in NYC. Jewish Daniel Bruckstein founder of Continuum Healthcare provides care for aging seniors. Continuum merged Beth Israel with Mt. Sinai. Many Iranian students have trained at Beth Israel and Mt Sinai. All past records from Beth Israel/Mt Sinai are stored at Icahn. Recruits are through HuMed for these schools who do not follow the traditional MCAT Path. Many complaints filed against Icahn.

Strength Training and Taste Buds #autoimmunediseases #spoonie #strengthtraining #tastebuds #healthyfood #keepingmyselfwell

 

I've been strength training and had been working with a trainer at a gym doing stretches. This has been going on for almost 2 months. Being a spoonie I had to cut down my limits. I ended at home doing strength training. 

I've ended up being able to use my taste buds more. Don't know how this helped. I'm able to eat healthier food because my body isn't craving for more flavors to get me to eat substantially. I made sweet potato tortillas today. I had 2 scrambled eggs with one and a pickle, tomatoes, apple, and a few chips. It actually tasted really good. I would have ordinarily gagged on it. My body is appreciating the nutrients.

I only do an online express 15 minute senior class. I'll tell you they pack a punch. Right now I'm lagging to hold onto twice a week. Between having to cook my own meals, a bit of yoga and walking when I can, and having to vacuum and sometimes mop every night to keep ants out it is hard. But I pray to God to keep giving me the strength.

Histamine Blockers Can Ease Dysautonomia Symptoms #dysautonomia #autoimmunedisease #gutissues #histamineblockers #lorijeanfinnila #keepingmyselfwell

 Dysautonomia is a very scary disorder linked to autoimmune diseases, gut issues, head injuries and more. According to the National Library of Medicine and what I just experienced taking a generic Allegra, histamine blockers aid in the symptoms of dysautonomia-which is a disorder that malfunctions the autonomic nervous system. I get dizzy and fainting spells. This usually happens when my body feels exerted. This didn’t start until a couple of years ago when I believe it was triggered through toxic chemicals in the building I was living in. My nervous system is already compromised as well as I have head injuries. I get a lot of histamine coming up from my stomach because I have Hashimoto’s - which very often carries the 3’s: dysautonomia, mast cell activation, and pots.

An antihistamine like ⁠Allegra (fexofenadine) can ease dysautonomia symptoms when an underlying overlap with mast cell activation or histamine release drives the autonomic response.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis connects to dysautonomia, POTS, and mast cell activation (MCAS) through shared immune-system confusion, chronic inflammation, and an autonomic-immune feedback loop where inflammatory chemicals and nervous system misfires worsen each other.

Quinoa Stabalizes Neurotransmitters #autoimmunediseases #brainfog #quinoa #lorijeanfinnila



https://www.pexels.com/@googledeepmind/highlights/

It’s amazing how frightened we get when we’re stuck in brain fog. Most of the time we don’t even realize this. The simplest of changes control our functioning. I found one secret to quinoa. ‘It stabalizes the neurotransmitters required for sharp mental clarity. 


Then I come back and I’m not so scared. My body and mind can function. 


Quinoa: superfood amino acids

It is good for digestive disorders. I know that’s where I go when I’m at my worst. So simple. And I can’t find my way out. Brain fog? Free of cholesterol and trans fat. Guiltless food to eat quoted by Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming of the book I may explore to read titled ‘Quinoa 365: The Everyday Food at Amazon.


Right now I use cooked quinoa for a recipe. I gag down regular quinoa and then it doesn’t stay down if you know what I mean. I’ll try flakes and powders when I have more money.
