Thanks to a twitter friend who told me about vegetable tablets, I discovered my dream supplement – broccoli in a bottle.
Found these little goodies at a health food store today and started taking them with real broccoli tonight.
Soon, I will fill large vats with broccoli and stamp them like grapes into a green paste, which I shall rub all over my body. Then the Isothiocyanates will overwhelm my cf and I’ll be cured. Nice.
If you read my earlier post on broccoli, then you know I’ve been shoveling in tons of the stuff. I also added cole slaw for the cabbage and occasionally cauliflower. Soon, I will find broccoli sprouts and start eating those, too.
All in the name of searching out sharktank.org’s mysterious Isothiocyanates. That’s why I’m eating cruciferous vegetables.
I won’t repeat my earlier post. But here’s the latest. After 40 plus years of taking enzymes, first the powdered form with applesauce when I was a child and now capsules, I can’t find the correct dosage. I’m constipated a lot and my digestion and the results of it have been smaller and perfect.
Last week on a business trip, I forgot to refill my enzymes for dinner and had only three for a large meal. I thought I would pay the price, but all was fine.
I don’t get it and don’t know if it has anything to do with the Isothiocyanates. I’m not used to this level of good digestion over such a long period of time.
I’ll be calling my CF Center this week to discuss enzyme dosages. It’s been a long time since I had that conversation.
CF strips away the stuff I love to do – the simple actions of life healthier people take for granted. Here’s my “most missed” list:
There are probably others, but these seem to matter the most. One other item I left off the list is adult and has to do with my wife.
Every day some of my co-workers cry and moan about the most inane issues. I feel like grabbing them by the shoulders, staring them in the eye and saying: You don’t know how lucky you are. You simply do not know how lucky you are.
