Adderrall - How it helped my game

wrong doctors!

I wish doctors were not so quick to precribe meds but we are cattle to them now. Even if you use the same doctor they still herd you in and out for the $$$.

I have to say that you are using the wrong doctors! I did have to open up lines of communication with some, but the ones I use are very willing to treat me as an individual. One doctor has called me multiple times after hours to let me know about something he thinks might be of benefit to me. Another responds very promptly and in-depth to e-mails and his e-mail address is posted on the net! The third spends whatever time is needed in his office and we communicate by fax too. Also, his home phone is listed in the local directory. I simply don't accept being treated like anything but an individual and I find doctors that are still doctors.

Yea I agree there are great docs out there that will and want to take care of you. My pain doc and my Neurosurgeon are great and both will sit in the room and make sure I understand everything I need to know. But I've had docs that would herd you out like cattle as well, as I spent 2 hours in the waiting room and then see the doc for 2 minutes and I'm out the door.

Wrong again. Sarcoid came from inhaling chemicals I should have never been around, and the Fibro came from the disorder in my spine. And BTW-a diet has NOTHING to do with my spine swelling and hitting and pushing/pinching nerves.

OK, so your issues are chemically related, maybe. How do you know your diet has nothing to do with any of it though? How can you possibly know this?

but, for that last time...I did not say that these afflictions are "bullshit." Sarcoidosis is well documented but still quite mysterious, and fibromyalgia, like CFS is still a complete mystery, and western medicine simply refuses to consider diet as a cause.

do you know why your spine swells?

After reading the posts about it all being BS and that diseases are just made up to sell drugs I had to laugh.

laugh as in scoff? sorry to hear that. It's 100% true that many, many "diseases" are created by big pharma. laugh all you want.

However with many of the issues talked about here they are chemical imbalances in the body. To say that they are all or even most of them are diet related is crazy.

Sorry, but no, it's not crazy in the slightest. What creates those chemical imbalances? In many, many cases, lifestyle including diet.

Now if I have an overactive thyroid then how does my diet change that.

Are you saying that diet changes can't affect thyroid function? Sorry, but you're dead flat wrong.

If my body doesnt have enough receptor for a certain toxin then how does a diet produce more.

ya lost me there.

As we evolve and breed we are going to have changes in our bodies occuring more often. The human body of today isnt the same as it was 5 thousand + years ago.

It is actually quite the same. What we put into it physically, spiritually, emotionally has changed drastically.

Diet can affect many things and maybe one day we will know for sure what Fructose and refined sugars is doing to us. High levels of presevatives are thought to be a real problem as well.

odd...now you're agreeing with me?

On a personal note I am diabetic. My father is as well. When he was diagnosed the doctor went straight to the meds. I was livid. He was overweight and had not even tried to control it without meds.

Again you're agreeing with me here! Not that "disease" is BS...diabetes is very real...but the cause and "cure" are not what we're told they are!

I wish doctors were not so quick to precribe meds but we are cattle to them now.

and the doctors serve big pharma. Not all, of course, but most.

Even if you use the same doctor they still herd you in and out for the $$$.

Sure seems that way...

anyway...back on topic...adderall is not a solution.

My old doc

Yea I agree there are great docs out there that will and want to take care of you. My pain doc and my Neurosurgeon are great and both will sit in the room and make sure I understand everything I need to know. But I've had docs that would herd you out like cattle as well, as I spent 2 hours in the waiting room and then see the doc for 2 minutes and I'm out the door.

I used to go to a great old country doc that has since passed away. Even at the height of flu season he took time to treat other patients and give them all care needed but the flu treatment was hilarious. I went to his office when I caught it. The line was out the door and halfway to the highway! I was not a happy camper, this looked like an all day sucker and needless to say I felt like dirt. Twenty minutes later I am being checked. The doc was in and out in less than a minute. The stethoscope flew, "yes, him too." I got a shot from the nurse a minute later and was out the door in another minute after paying a considerably lower price than a normal office visit!

This wasn't typical of his care and he was a first class doctor that found real problems that specialists had missed. That just made flu treatment all the funnier!

Yes I have dieted and no it didnt change anything.

Yes I do know why my spine swells. Its because of the two cysts inside my spinal cord that is blocking the spinal fluid from flowing, thus the pressure making my spine swell.

They are hard to find these days. I went through 2 pain docs where the wait was 10x longer than the visit and they didnt care to try and treat my pain. I went to the 3rd doc and the 1st visit we talked for over 45 minutes about everything from my condition to life. I've been with him ever since and I tried his alternative methods to taking pain pills with no luck. But even when I have to see his underlings they are always courteous and want to check on me instead of pushing me out the door.

Yes I have dieted and no it didnt change anything.

I didn't say "did you diet." To most, "going on a diet" means one thing or another. Have you ever gone completely raw food? NO processed food whatsoever...at least 80% raw vegetables, organic. Very limited sugar, etc?

Yes I do know why my spine swells. Its because of the two cysts inside my spinal cord that is blocking the spinal fluid from flowing, thus the pressure making my spine swell.

Interesting...but...why do you have cysts?

I'm not a doctor and I'm not claiming to be, but I have done enough research and applied it to know that modern medicine has failed horribly in identifying the root of problems such as "ADHD" or any of the other "diseases" that have only surfaced in recent years/decades.

Your body could very likely simply be "broken" beyond repair and you'll just have to deal with it. It happens. Absolutely. BUT...if inflammation is your problem, there are nutrition plans that can help!

You are failing to understand that none of my conditions are because of my diet.

I have the cysts from a car wreck when I was little. No its not inflammation. No nutrition plan is going to cure this. Notice the white lines inside the spinal cord. This was back in 05 and they are bigger now. No herbal remedy is going make them disappear as will no med or chemo.

how do you know this?

I didn't say anything about an herbal remedy and you'll never hear me offer chemo (poison) as a solution.

I did, however, acknowledge that you may well just have grave physical injury that is not fixable. Not everything is fixable.

I'm going to bow out of this one because it got way off track.

almost all long threads do

I'm going to bow out of this one because it got way off track.

Almost all long threads on these forums do get off topic. Sometimes they wander back to the original topic, sometimes not. It annoyed me when I first came here but I soon accepted it was just part of AZB.

Matter of fact, I check older threads that start running fast all of a sudden. It may be just the 42nd flame war or it might be that the thread has gotten really interesting to me, often on a subject having nothing to do with the original topic.

happens on all forums. I'm fine sticking to the topic on this one...was more just looking to get out of something that was going nowhere.

I agree probably time to move on. Both of you have good points but the communication between you two is poor at the moment. Just as well to let it drop. I see a huge place for natural treatments and letting nature take care of things and I also acknowledge that medicine has it's functions. Of course there are mechanical things also.

I agree with all you just wrote. Some things just cant be cured no matter what you try, docs get kickbacks to write certain meds, they DO come up with bogus diseases at times as well. I've agreed with alot D-Sub has said, but we disagree on a few points as well.

 

[D-Sub]

Of course there are mechanical things also.

sometimes even those mechanical things are based on other factors, but there are definitely times when we're just broken.

If someone broke their femur I certainly wouldn't say "eliminate sugar and you'll be fine" although...they still should no matter what...if only to heal better

Sometimes we're not just broken to begin with, something happens along the way.

I was agreeing and disagreeing with you. I believe diet can attribute to changes but we, as humans, are just not the same. Its proven that even around the world different groups of peoples bodies are different. Humans are constantly changing and even 5000k years ago they were different. Man has been around for 130-190k years. To think that we are the same is just not true.

There are many many cases where something is a little wrong in our bodies from the beginning. Babies are born with issues like Diabetes and other things. It happens and should be expected.

Am I saying that nothing is affected by diet and outside chemicals ... NO. There can be affects on the body. However each of us will handle these things in different ways. Some people that smoked alot never got lung cancer but others did. No one is saying that the toxin didnt hurt the ones that did but rather others for whatever reason didnt have that reaction.

Our genepool continues to mix and mix through the years. We will continue to change and have issues . No one or nothing is perfect.

Hopefully as the human race becomes smarter we will figure out more answers.

After getting warmed up (20 minutes) I found that I was making tough shots with more consistency than usual. I started out playing banks on a tough 9' diamond. I opened with a run of six, followed the next game by a five. I ended one game with a run of six balls in full rack banks. Regularly I was running I'd say an extra ball on a long run. I also noticed that I was not jumping up at all when shooting certain shots. My confidence was definitely elevated if nothing else by the level of play I was experiencng.

Whether or not this is permanent is tough to say, but I'm definitely pleased with the initial results. At the very least I'd say taking this medication has added a ball to my game and in one pocket/banks maybe even a little more. I found that I could play for hours and hours without losing focus. I played at that level all afternoon for over four hours without any loss of focus.

For anyone looking to improve their game I can say this "smart drug" has done a lot for me.

the effects are not permanent,be careful with this drug.it is a schedule 2 drug and very habit forming.

I agree. Diabetes runs RAMPANT through my family. Its killed someone in every generation on one of my fathers line and his generation and mine it hasnt killed anyone yet (but his brother has it very bad and is not good last I heard). Its killed people on this line from 19 to about 70 or so. My Great Grandmother died at 53 (had to take shots everyday) and my Great Uncle (her son) died but was alittle older but it took one of his legs before he died. It can be controlled with some, but when you have a nasty strain in your genes its hard to keep it under control. We have to get checked everytime we go to the doc because of the family history (I'm not kidding, its an unreal amount that have it or died).

I forgot to mention to D-Sub that I also have Spina Bifida which I was born with. It could be another cause of the cysts. Its either that or the car wreck. Me and my brother both have degenerative disc disease as did my Grandfather, and I'm 28 and he's only 37. I just hope it skips my nephews generation. I'd rather have this crap than them. I just dont think diet affects any of these diseases with the exception of Diabetes which I think diet is VERY important.
