Kickas.org Forums Treatments, Drugs and Alternatives NSD and diet-related; Newbie here 3 day NSD experience

Briefly my story. Had 99% of AS symptoms one day I woke up on Dec. 2010, couldn't move my arms or neck, couldn't dress my self, go to the bathroom, you name it, and was diagnosed with supposedly arthritis on my cervical area(left side), Spent thousands of dollars with the best specialists, back then I was making big bucks in florida and could afford that and more, I went to the "best" and most qualified clinics(rheumatholists) from the state, all of them were unable to determine exactly what I had, All my blood tests,sugar levels, were optimal. then after 6 months of medical abuse, epydural procedures and TNT pain killers, I gave up and decided to look for alternatives. I found kickass.org and a 2 day fasting(water intake only) was the only solution to get rid of my horrible migraines. then started a LSD, then moved to NSD for 2 months but was too weak and started cheating myself all the time, every weekend, my pain was 5-6 and my stiffness was a 7-8. I couldn't stand on my feet for 1 minute, couldn't half-bend for 10 seconds, I couldn't sit on my work chair for 10 minutes without lower back pain(a $1500 special chair for people with back problems, I made my boss pay for it, taking advantage of your employer when you have a unique key function, not exactly ethical but...). I couldn't sleep for more than 3 hours, and even considered suicide as a quit exit to my eternal suffering. Then I decided to leave the country and move to canada looking for some miraculous natural homeopathic treatment in quebec, my wife is canadian. My financial situation is way different now, cannot longer afford some luxuries like going to the massage therapist every single day for 1-2 hours. thankfully; organic/biologic products in quebec are sub subsidized by the provincial government and cost 1/3 of what wholefoods products cost in the US and most of them pay no tax and some of them have better ingredients. After a terrible flare from christmas 2013, from a excess that last almost 10 days where I had the worst pain I've ever experienced since the my fatidical december 21th 2010(where all began). usually when I cheated(all the time), the flare went away the next day just by stop eating for 12-17 hours and drinking plenty of water, yes I have a metabolism with "steroids".
Now finally got tired of half-living in this pathetic situation, went to the specialists here, no luck, treatments didn't work and caused me the worst flares in 3 years, my intestinal flora was totally devastated and a candida overgrown were killing me, and couldn't tolerate almost anything. I started to eating "healthy", was feeling weaker day by day, then I removed the eggs(was eating 3-6 eggs on a daily basis), remove quinua was eating that twice a day and olives with garlic(I know garlic is not) and olives with red pepper as well and started drinking 3.4L of daily water(formula according to my weight from watercures.com), for the first 3 days of NSD diet it has been only tons of raw kale(disgusting), raw spinach, raw dandelion leaves and raw celery w/ raw garlic(twice a day), I ate only grilled chicken with realsalt and raw garlic(peeled by myself) and believe it or not, for the first time since I had AS and only in 3 days, I'm able to don't feel almost any discomfort on my spine. I feel so motivated, because I can actually enjoy and feel the benefits of this crazy diet in such short time(first time ever 3 days in a row with no pain spine or stiffness). Now the bad news, since I have klebiesa and candida overgrown, I have a really disgusting burning feeling sensation afternoon even without eating anything and drinking just purified water, all of that after cutting sugars and starches all of the sudden. I can't sleep at night, currently I can feel my spine with no almost no inflammation, My pain in my spine went from 6-8 to 2-3, on the last day I felt so great with pain scale of 1 only. before, I had inflammation on my hips, lumbar, cervical and middle spine, right after eating(20minutes or so)that made my life miserable. Currently, My only big issue is my migraines in the first time morning, which just discovered it's my sleeping position(cervical pressure around my neck) and not my stomach. I have a crazy expensive orthopedic mattress, but the issue is with the pillow. I can feel how my cervical is changing for good, is way more flexible, I can turn my head to left and right, up and right all the way down with zero pain, I can do my abdominals and no longer hear any crack on my spine while doing it as I used to hear all the time. Now the other big issue I currently have is I'm literally starving all day, feel weird, week sometimes, burning sensation at nights, no energy and my complexion looks terrible, but almost zero pain on my spine, I feel like I'm living again, just have to adjust and find a proper pillow to avoid those headaches in the morning since I want to cut off the occasional tylenol w/ caffeine I've been taking only for emergencies. Please keep in consideration that is way more difficult to do fasting here in canada when the weather is -30C or -40C comparing to florida, and still have to go to college from mon-fri(30 minutes walk back and forth). any suggestions or advice would be really appreciated.

I would say u need to add some fat to your diet, that should help with tiredness/weakness, hunger and lack of energy. Try and consume things like olive oil, coconut oil, oily fish, avocado, walnuts...

thank you, I will try. I just got sick with high fever and FLU symptoms, I guess is all part of the detox process, will keep drinking plenty of water and start including fish oil, olive and coconut oil and avocados to my NSD. So far, 4 days of NSD has been a real challenge for me. I finally being able to sleep more than 7 hours in a row. I think I found the right pillow for my neck.

I'm still getting occasional headaches, so starting now, 3 day fasting for me. water intake only.

Terrible migraines in the morning are not going away, just on my first day of fasting, will clear up on the next days, hopefully on the 3rd day. I've been there done that. To blame for, too many acetaminophen(tylenol) and the caffeine that comes with, and probably(maybe) the toxins are being released by my cells and now are running within my circulatory system for a bit. It really sucks, I can getting solved immediately but temporarily by eating a big chunk of chocolate.! temptation, not gonna happen, I had no idea it was going to be that difficult.

after hours of suffering and drinking lots of water(1.5L) with no success(trying to get rid of my worst migraine in years), I tried acupressure from youtube (chinese guy tutorial) and in less than 1 minute migraine was gone(unbelievable!), 90% gone, the remaining took 15 minutes to go away as I kept drinking water. I understand it must be tension around my neck then, I'm sleeping on the floor tonight and tomorrow will look for a new mattress and a new pillow.so long tylenol.

Please provide link for acupressure or tell me what to search. I've been havin horrible headaches on and off and think a lot is from neck inflammation. I woke up yesterday with the right side of my face swollen and eye droopy ( the upper lid swollen), along with intense pain and get the most relief from icing my neck. Im glad you found relief from the painThanks!

I just PM you the links.

Got them, thank you!!

6 day NSD, 2nd day fasting, just getting off of a very strong FLU. First time in 6 days with no migraines in the morning. feeling way better with only some stiffness in the back caused by some tylenol abuse the last 4 days and because of that, my stomach is kind of constipated. So far,it has been 38 hours without taking any acetaminophen. Getting there!
