Who hasn't had a pinched nerve or inflammation? My natural cures and discoveries for pain.

This post could lead to so many things because I am no stranger to pain. I'm also blessed with the will to keep fighting and researching for answers. In 2009, One blessing in disguise was the awful experience of my health insurance ending. I gained panic attacks for the first time and fears of not being able to treat my pains. I bought my own insurance  with what I could afford and tried to make it work. I found the system scamming me for $900 X-rays and payments that were not going towards my health, but to the companies standards of you give everything, then we give some. This did not fit into my college student with a part time job life.  I know others can relate and for us fighting for answers I hope to shed some light with my journey on each pain I cured without health insurance. I for now do not see health insurance benefiting my health when it comes to common non life threatening problems.  I believe lifestyle is the key to preventing those life threatening diseases as well. I believe God placed everything we need here on earth to cure ourselves, but we buy into the world's lie of this is as good as it gets, so take these harmful side effect pills and complain no more.  Yeah no thank you! Through the years I really am baffled at the lack of knowledge some doctors have about the human body. It is made to cure itself without meds and how I'm able to find these health alternative changes for a better fix,yet I'm just a regular college student. I also believe God gives knowledge and wisdom to those who ask for it. My journey of no health insurance began with a pinched nerve and inflamed shoulder. The cause for this was over use of my shoulders to compensate for my back that I had surgery on. Doctors told me this after I did not receive the proper therapy or information to prevent this damage. I now had a left shoulder where all protective synovia fluid was gone! The muscles and ligaments connect bones, and the space between them is cushioned by fluid-filled capsules (synovia) and cartilage.I was told you could not repair the fluid and once cartilage was gone then its gone. Excuse me, but what a bunch of Bull. I was literally paralyzed and unable to work or move for that matter. My search began for something else besides anti-inflammation drugs. I found Hyaluronic acid to be the answer for a cure. Hyaluronic acid is the primary natural polymer compound present in the synovial fluid of joints. I know for a fact this stuff works because the paralyzing pain was completely gone after the first bottle. It makes sense because the body naturally creates hyaluronic acid for this reason and can be replenished with intake of it in pill form. I have yet to find any bad side effects to this treatment. Now if I'm working out or going to be using my shoulder for a length of time then I take hyaluronic acid to prevent further damage and pain. I was able to stop taking the pills after the first month and can go several months without having joint pain or needing pain meds. The point is there is no more pain and they work well enough so its not something you have to take everyday till you die haha There are many other alternatives for inflammation that I may try in the future but for this specific issue hylaronic acid was my cure. I also want to say that pain was the worse I ever had experienced. My back surgery didn't come close. I turned my helplessness into a will to find a cure and so glad I did and can share it with you! I could not possible post all the links to the research I did on this issue and I want ppl to do their own research for their specific problem if needed. I'm posting a link to simple experiment with hyalronic acid.

 It's important to have at least 100mg in each pill to take effect.

Here is another list of alternatives to anti-inflammation drugs that you can research to your hearts desire! 

 

Astaxanthin – This is one of the most effective oil-soluble antioxidants known to man today. Astaxanthin has very potent anti-inflammatory properties. In some cases, it may even be more effective than NSAIDs. You may need to take high doses of this antioxidant (as much as eight milligrams a day), though, to achieve this benefit.

•Ginger - This anti-inflammatory herb has pain relief and stomach-settling properties. Steep fresh ginger in boiling water to make a delicious and fragrant tea. Grating and adding it to your vegetable juice is a good idea as well.

•Curcumin – This is the primary therapeutic compound found in the spice turmeric. A study of osteoarthritis patients revealed curcumin’s pain relief effects: individuals who added 200 milligrams of curcumin a day to their treatment plan were found to have reduced pain and increased mobility. In fact, over 50 clinical studies have proven curcumin’s potent anti-inflammatory activity. There are also four studies that demonstrated its ability to reduce Tylenol-associated adverse health effects.

 •Cayenne cream - Also known as capsaicin cream, this is a spice made from dried hot peppers. It alleviates pain by depleting the body's supply of substance P, a chemical component of nerve cells that transmits pain signals to your brain.

 •Boswellia - Also called boswellin or "Indian frankincense," this herb has been prized for thousands of years for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. This is one of my personal favorites, as I have seen it work well with many of my rheumatoid arthritis patients.

•Bromelain – Found in pineapples, this protein-digesting enzyme is a natural anti-inflammatory. Bromelain can be used in supplement form, but eating fresh pineapple may also be helpful. Most of the bromelain is found within the pineapple’s core, so make sure you leave a little of the pulpy core intact when you eat the fruit.

•Cetyl myristoleate (CMO) - An oil found typically in fish and dairy butter, CMO acts as a "joint lubricant" and an anti-inflammatory. I use a topical preparation for myself to relieve ganglion cysts and alleviate mild annoying carpal tunnel syndrome that flares up when I type too much on non-ergonomic keyboards.

•Evening Primrose, Black Currant, and Borage Oils – The fatty acid gamma linoleic acid (GLA) found in these oils is useful for treating arthritic pain.

***Korean Angelica (Angelica gigas Nakai). This is mention in the article I linked and will be my next experiment. I now have to find another cure for the inflammation pain in my lower back from a car accident. I have no more anxiety over being in pain because I know there are cures at my fingertips as I type in questions to my unanswered issues.

Thank you for joining me on my journey to better health!
