You Can SurviveTetanus: Tetanus Survival
|
Tetanus survival is affected by many things. The things that I
did, which effected my tetanus survival, consist in part of the
following, which I learned as I experienced the tetanus disease:
1. Getting cold makes it much worse.
2. Keeping quite warm, much warmer than I like it when I am
healthy, seems to make it better.
3. Nutrition is really important. I got much worse when I
didn't have any help and couldn't bend to get anything out of
the fridge. I found a web article on how poor nutrition made it
much worse, and vice versa.
4. Nutrition is a bit tricky, because when I'm well I eat out
of my garden and eat brown rice. The food that is brought to
me is wheat oriented, and I've gotten a lot of my symptoms
related to pernicious anemia back. (I am deeply grateful for
the food, which is the best tasting food ever, and which I am
certain saved my life because I was unable to prepare food
and was fading on a diet of saltines.) It is worth looking at
the www.dadamo.com information about blood types and food.
There was a segment on the news last night about
inflammation being implicated in certain diseases, even more
so than cholesterol. What the D'Adamo things talk about is
how certain foods cause... I forget, but how I understood it
was inflammation... and when I started eating the brown rice
I lost about 26 pounds, which I attributed to ending the
inflammation... also my face looked less flabby.... there's a
quality to flabbiness that is very like inflammation.
5. Rest. Rest is really hard. I mean watching pbs on Saturday
kind of rest. Even this kind of writing is not restful...
certainly worrying is not restful, and not sleeping is not
restful.
6. Vitamin C link re some very serious illnesses:

I think the doctor (Tom Levy) who is talking about vitamin C
in relation to anthrax and smallpox is on to something. I think
this because I am certain the vitamin C helped me survive
tetanus.
7. B12 -- if your B12 level is under 550, then absolutely for
sure you need B12, but if it's under 950, you might still may
need it very much and you will feel benefits over a period of
time.
