“Cure” but it’s a hit or miss. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

How Extra Virgin Olive Oil healed my nerve damage (neuropathy) which made my gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach/intestine) better.

If it can fix me, then why not you?

I had all three: sensory, motor and autonomic symptoms of nerve damage.

Pain. Needles. Burning. Electricity.
Shocks. Muscle numbness/weakness/twitching. Sensitivity to temperature,
touch, and water.

And, digestive issues like gastropareiss. Which is not being able to digest food because my stomach/intestine were paralyzed.

How did it heal?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Pomonte

I consumed one teaspoon of Evoo with an avocado mashed in water 4x a week.

I took it like medicine, put the teaspoon of olive oil in my mouth, then take a tablespoon of an avocado. Mix it in my mouth and swallow it so the olive oil didn’t burn my throat.

Saw results every day, week and month!

“Food is poison” Things I think often. Rant

I decided to eat spicy food yesterday for the second time in 5 months. Spent all night suffering yay!

Up at 5am to drink tea to get rid of the pain, then up at 8am to eat because tea lowers my blood pressure to the point my body thinks I’m dying/freezing to death.

Now waiting for the food to digest 😭

But it’s crazy how scared I am of food and it getting stuck. I remember the three times I couldn’t breathe for hours because the food wouldn’t go down, so I eventually stopped trying to eat anything after the third time.

Food, supposed to give you life…but feels like poison.
Need poison to survive.

Food habits that have helped me survive since January 2026

I consume 6 tablespoons of food every 20 minutes, three times an hour. Then wait a whole hour and start again. I hate not feeling full, like I’m starving all the time with how little I can consume, so my morning starts with 1 min oats and a banana.

The 1 min Quaker oats can be cooked in two mins on medium heat until they release a gel. Put them in a bowl and add a small amount of water to break the gel so it’s more liquid. Eat a yellow banana after every spoon of oats.

I feel so full and I know my body can digest it since I’ve been eating it for months. Otherwise the full feeling makes me panic that it’s not going to go down.

Nuts that are soaked overnight. There are so many options. Pecans, walnuts, cashews, pistachio, almonds, peanuts, and dates as a sweetner. They all taste so good when you find the right combinations.

Soak them overnight, blend in water and drink as many as you want. I was going crazy with like 15 walnuts, 25 pistachios and three dates back in March. Now I’m down to just 12 almonds every other day. But so many vitamins, minerals, and so easy to consume!! Make it as thick or as watery as you want.

Fruit juiceee. Grapes make the perfect liquid. I would blend 30 grapes with any other solid fruit and it would make like half or 3/4 glass of juice. I homemade everything, so all fruits were being liquified one way or another.

I can consume an avocado as long as I mix it with water, you can up or down the ratio, but it makes me feel full without any harm. My thing is, as long as I consume safe foods in a 6 tablespoons ratio—three times an hour—moving around and just waiting it out results in it getting digested.

Lentils and beans. Soak overnight, boil in a pressure cooker with other ingredients or alone (onion, tomato, parsley, ginger, garlic, salt, turmeric) cook in butter, add water so it’s easily blended into a drink or purée. With veggies you just cook in butter and boil since they’re softer.

I can’t consume dairy but Desi Dahi yogurt my body got used to after 2 days. It barely has sugar, if you leave it on the counter for 20-30 mins the good bacteria will multiply and eat the sugar, mix it with water so it’s less thick and way better for consumption. Lastly, 2 days of feeling iffy is just the good bacteria moving into your system so it’s a normal reaction.

Hope it helps !!

Edit: I would like to add bone broth or any type of soup is great, even if you’re just drinking the water or pureeing it.

With the nuts, they taste even better when you cook them on low heat for 2-3 mins because it makes the tastes stronger and benefits easy to absorb.

Anddd seeds. Same as nuts. Soak pumpkin or sunflower seeds overnight and blend in the morning.
