Tetanus-Survival

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.
