  • Hi there,

    I have done 3 sesssions of Hyperbaric and found it be hugely relaxing, which in turn improves my lung function by virtue of reducing anxiety.

    best regards,

    Dear all,

    I have now sent you all a Dropbox link to the recording of our zoom call last week, PLEASE let me know if I have missed anybody out. PM me with your email address and I will send you the link.

    I apologise, but I forgot to record at the start, so the first few minutes are missing, plus at points the internet connection on Charlie’s side wasn’t great. Either way, I really hope you get something from the discussion.

    I am aiming to do this every couple of weeks, so am always looking for inspiration. If any of you would like to participate with the content, or get involved with organising with me, just shout. More brains are better than one!

    I apologise for the US based people that were left out, I am British and living in France, so I didn’t make the connection to Thanksgiving – apologies!

    I hope this message finds you all well.

    Dear all,

    I am so sorry about arranging this for thanks giving, I am a UK national living in France, so it wasn’t on my radar – APOLOGIES.

    I will try to record the session and send it to anyone that PM’s me with their email address.

    best regards,

    Wes

    Join us this Thursday at GMT6pm for our second PF ‘taking the bull by the horns’ Zoom call, with our guest Charlie Speller.

    Charlie Speller is a highly experienced & multi-disciplined body work practitioner, bringing together a wealth of experience in healing connective scar tissue and a wide variety of other practices.

    Have you wondered why scar tissue is created? Have you questioned if we are helping the progression of scar tissue?
    Fascia and Fibrin are the two main contributors to the production of scar tissue, which means the more we have of these two things in our bodies, the quicker scar tissue will form within us.

    Surely this means that if action is taken to reduce these two things, scar tissue is reduced?

    Seeking answers to these questions and others will be the topic of discussion this Thursday evening at GMT (Greenwich mean time) 6pm on our second PF Zoom.

    All are welcome, for those of you that want to retain or obtain a sense of control, please attend. Treatment of PF doesn’t have to only be taking a tablet, there are a multitude of things we can be doing to improve quality of life, not just physically, but mentally too.

    This session is completely free of charge and Charlie receives no payment for her time.

    P.s if anyone wants to PM me, I will give them my personal mobile number if they struggle to get into the Zoom call, I am on WhatsApp, so can be called/ messaged.

    Dear all,

    I apologize profusely for the outage in contact, but I have been travelling for work.

    I suggest we have an initial call on Thursday this week at 6pm Greenwhich mean time. Its very difficult to assess the best time as there are so many locations, so I pinned the tail on the donkey.

    If you email me your email address I will add you to the Zoom invite for Thursday.

    Best regards,

    Wes

    p.s we can change times or break off into groups if the time differences become an issue.

    Dear Nancy (and everyone else that has responded),

    Thank you so much for response, it sounds very similar to my own approach to the diagnosis, which is to not let ‘it happen to me’, rather use the words of the diagnosis as fuel to make tweaks and improvements to me lifestyle.

    I have been thinking about setting up a group, maybe zoom (or some other platform), where willing participants can meet (virtually) and share thoughts/ information and positive vibes… Or receive positive vibes if not in the mood to share them!

    If anyone is interested, please let me know.

    p.s I am 45, married with 5 kids. Not into strange things or allow my ego to dictate my behavior (most of the time at least). It would be a group environment of sharing, not dictation by one person or persons.

    Things I actively try to eat are;

    Any vegetables are high in antioxidant/ anti inflammatory, for example red cabbage, broccoli, Colliflower, kale, black raspberries, pinto beans etc.
    I also take a spoon fall and half of organic turmeric eat day with black pepper mixed with nigella seed (black cumin seeds). Both of these are EXTREMELY high in antioxidants and are inflammatory.
    If I eat pasta and bread, I make sure it is gluten free.

    In terms of lifestyle, I stopped working Fridays which has had a very positive effect on my health and wellbeing.

    Every single day I wake up and follow an exercise plan, which has been amazingly positive for my mind and body, I highly recommend you start doing this.

    Part of this routine is using the following https://www.airphysio.com/ It really does work and has no chemicals in them.

    Dear all,

    I am SO sorry for not responding sooner, but for some reason, the notifications for this group were going into my spam.

    Thank you for all the responses.

    The main areas that I have focussed on are;

    Diet
    Lifestyle/ stress levels/ exercise
    Supplments/ additonal support
    Therapy

    In terms of diet, I have been overall very discplined in terms of what I stopped eating and actively tried to eat. Whilst I was already vegitrian, I still consumed a fair bit of sugar (in various ways).

    The key to sustainability is reducing fibrin in the body, as I am sure you aware of, fibrin is what contributes and encourages scar tissue to produce in the body, this is cryptonite to us!

    I have almost cut out the following things;

    Sugar
    Gluten
    I was vegetarian anyway, but no meat (this doesn’t have to happen)
    Alcohol is packed full of sugar, sugar is the worst possible thing you can put in your body.
    No smoking.
    Processed foods

    Hi Amy,

    Apologies, my mistake.

    I am British and live in France, so didn’t connect the dots.

    If you can still make it, please PM with your email address and I will send you a Zoom invite.

    Best regards,
