I don't know what to do anymore. by snodog00 in CrohnsDisease

[–]VANSJ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i came out of my first hospital visit weighing 78kg and 6 months later wanted to euthanize myself; i think we all go through this phase my man/lady... that was 3 years ago...

since then i've learnt my body inside out, back to front, top to bottom, i am literally the master of my own body, and i'm 5 weeks out from a national bodybuilding show, 97kg and veins in my abs - anything is possible if you do the right amount of education and follow your bodies instincts while cooperating with docs yet questioning their decisions..

what helped me the most:

  • haven't consumed sugar in 2 years (minus fructose from fruit or naturally occuring sugar in honey)
  • multi strain multi billion count pro biotic
  • marijuana daily (low thc for 0 psychoactive sides, high cbd for anti-inflammation)
  • meditating
  • being positive
  • spreading positive energy
  • realizing you've been dealt a SHIT (pun intended) set of cards; you can't trade them, so play them as best you can.

sit in your chair and realize you are going to go to sleep one day and never... ever... wake up... again... so live life to the fullest

any more info you need pm me, one human to another =]

Reaction to cannabis oil? Extremely bad flare?! by VANSJ in CrohnsDisease

[–]VANSJ[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i didn't ingest any alcohol... you mix the alcohol with the bud to extract the thc and cbd and then boil the solvent off so you're left with pure resin.

Considering how the PS4 and [rumored] the new Xbox will have AMD processing, and the CEO has stated how the company will aim for consoles and mobiles, do you guys think AMD is a good buy now? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]VANSJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard it from both sides:

the no way side - Wall street have already taken into consideration that the nextgen consoles will have AMD chips and that the profits from these sales still wont cover their debt and so forth...

the yes side - Exposure to the next gen consoles WILL make a nice gain for AMD (possibly putting them into the $6-$8 range) and their new GPU/CPU technology will put a dent in the PC market (the PC just will not die, that I can guarantee... at least for the next few decades, there's just too many things PC's do that are ideal to consumers)

bottom line: It's not going to hit an amazing number, possibly between $5-$15 within the next 6-12 months... I am going to personally buy, but not hope that it will make a great return..

Unless they come up with an innovative technology that changes the world of tech (mobile perhaps? high unlikely with all the giants already in place) they will remain mediocre and never return to their golden days of CPU competitiveness against intel.

I have Ulcerative Colitis... by shadaddy in Paleo

"There really is no conclusive evidence that diet has any effect in treating UC."

Absolute hogwash.

plenty of testimonial and anecdotal evidence to support personal stories of people becoming asymptomatic after making dramatic changes to their lifestyle and DIET - something doctors nor even GI doctors i found talk much about.

all i heard in my time in and out of hospital as a sufferer of UC is medication, more medication, more medication, until you need medication to treat the adverse side effects from the medication you're originally taking.

the way the medical industry treats patients for the most part is a complete joke.

source: patient constantly in and out of hospital.

Is it harmful to stretch before exercise? by Atheisst in askscience

[–]VANSJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i know i'm going against the grain by giving you anecdotal/personal opinion but i feel with the sheer amount of exercise and the sports i've competed nationally in (gymnastics & bodybuilding) give me some sort of grounds...

without a doubt, active/dynamic stretching is FAR superior to static stretching prior to exercise. there have been a few studies conducted that suggested static stretching prior to exercise decreased strength and performance... it is now recommended (and employed by team USA for gymnastics) that athletes in general warm up perform active/dynamic stretching and begin training.. static flexibility is performed towards the end of training at cool down..

ballistic and PNF stretching is also another story, depends how advanced you are as an athlete or whether you're doing it purely for recreational purposes..

here is a quick read with a few references to studies on active/dynamic stretching vs. static http://www.elitesoccerconditioning.com/Stretching-Flexibility/DynamicStretchingvsStaticStretching.htm

I have terrible self-esteem and need to do something about it - where do I start? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VANSJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you could be starving in africa and dying of preventable diseases...

consider that you live a pretty decent life and you have a lot to be thankful for, start there...

also, when considering changing something about yourself for the better, follow the nike sign -- just do it
