Anybody here heard of anyone healing a spinal disc by going raw ?

Just curious

I had always been aware of my phone use during sitting and avoided flexing my neck

I'm just starting to realize i have been using bad posture while using the phone in bed and have been doing it for several hours everyday.

( diagnosed with disc protrusion at C6C7 a year ago and still recovering )

I thought as long as I wasn't side lying in bed i was okay but even laying flat I do tend to flex my neck when my phone is in use.

So if you're recovering from a neck issue. Pay attention to your neck posture while using the phone in bed. Best to avoid it altogether.

How do you guys manage to sleep pain free with a herniated / protruded disc in the neck. Been dealing with C6C7 protrusion for about a year now. At the 6 month follow up doc said it should get better on its own but it seems to be taking longer.

The main issue is i can't turn around and I often wake up every few hours with numbness in the hand which gets better when I move.

I'm also having a hard time finding a suitable pillow. I have probably tried like half a dozen now. And even tried sleeping with a folded blanket.

So Eric berg seems to recommend taking electrolytes during the prolonged water fasts. But a lot of folks here tend to believe in water only with absolutely no electrolytes.

Which one is it ? Or does it come to personal preference

Anybody go on extended water fasts to improve a spinal condition? How did that workout for you? Curious if anyone experienced improvement in disc protrusions etc over long water fasts or a series of fasts

Has anyone used red light therapy to heal a disc protrusio in the spine either the neck or the back ?

What should I look for when buying a device. How do I know the device has enough intensity and the right wavelengths

Are the devices that say near infrared light a suitable candidate

I know the video links to a doc talking about reversing diabetes. But I'm just wondering has anyone has talked about reversing DDD or herniated disc

I remember a decade ago most doctors said it could only get worse. But off late I'm seeing some folks report that the herniated disc shrank by itself.

I'm just wondering if any top doctors in the field have shared these views or gone into how to aid the process of reabsorption

I have a fair experience of qi. I used to practice things like ming mein breathing etc. And i sometimes do qi massage for my neck.

Just wondering did anyone use qi to heal their disc protrusions to such an extent that it was reflected in subsequent MRIs

Is it possible to use reiki to heal oneself from addictions or addictive behaviour that started in early life.

Anybody ever feel like how different your life would be if internet porn never existed.

Male mid 30s here. Struggling for 20 years. Trying to quit for 10.

I really want to live like this shit doesn't exist. Live free without struggling with urges. One day you may

Any single guys in their 30s addicted to this thing for over 2 decades.

I'm in my 30s and have been addicted to this for over 20 years and I am just so frustrated about starting over every few weeks.

My addiction was under control or less frequent for a some time before Covid and after Covid hit i got more addicted to it than i had ever been my entire life.

Trying to cut this habit out for life. But I've been relapsing every few weeks.

How do you guys feel about having been addicted for 20 years

I constantly have regrets like what if I had quit during Covid. I would be 6 years free now

What are you guys doing differently this year to quit

Has anyone used reiki to cure spinal disc issues on themselves or someone they know. Curious to know what the results were like and how long it took. Also did you see the changes on later MRIs

Anybody here notice the gray hair reversed when stress dropped from their life or when they adopted meditation or similar habits to reduce stress

I'm new to reiki. Can reiki help heal disc protrusion and degenerated discs.

And if so has anyone had experience with the same and did you see the difference on the mri a year later.

Diagnosed with C6C7 protrusion over 9 months ago. It's been an up and down journey. After the first 4 months I have had several weeks with much less pain but other weeks not so great.

The main trigger now seems to be sleeping posture.

If I sleep neutral, supine, face facing up mostly. I feel fine

But if I side sleep or sleep with my neck in weird postures. I wake up with terrible pain and numbness. The numbness gets better as I get up but the pain lingers on for the day.

So how do you guys sleep straight while recovering from neck issues. How does one prevent the body from sleeping on the side.

Anybody use the Chi massage guidebook by mantak chia to heal any illnesses?

Looking forward to hearing about your expe

Anybody else hate how the entire auto industry is pushing for larger wheel rims, thereby reducing the side wall height and you feel potholes and bad patches of the road even more

​

I wish auto manufacturers gave customers the option of high profile tyres still .

Everybody knows weight loss helps the lumbar disc protrusions recover but does the same apply for cervical discs too?

Anybody correlate their cervical disc recovery to weight loss ?

I got diagnosed with a C6C7 disc protrusion about 9 months ago and I had a repeat MRI a few months ago and i was told it's mostly unchanged.

My main symptoms were pain at the base of the neck and numbness in the fingers sometimes.

I have weeks when I have almost no pain punctuated by weeks with pain. I have been going for physio - decompression therapy.

Exercises - unable to do them without increasing the pain. The only exercise that works like magic is chin tucks. I get immediate relief from it.

Anyways. My primary concern is when I sleep on my side I wake up with much more pain and symptoms like numbness in the fingers. If I sleep straight all night I wake up just fine.

Is there a way I can train myself to sleep straight on my back and have my head looking up all night? Sleeping on the side seems to be my main trigger and source of pain
