It’s now been three months since I started making my own dentures. I LOVE them! They fit very well and feel good in my mouth. I’ve made several bottom dentures. Each one fits slightly different. I experimented and made some dentures with less plastic and some with more plastic. I carry four dentures in my pocket, of slightly different sizes. Before I eat I choose the denture that feels the most comfortable in my mouth, at that time. I’ve also been able to make an upper denture but I have no need for it yet, so I don’t use it. I just wanted to experiment and see if it was possible and ...

https://youtu.be/RRdzZ3IuWzk I am 76. I’ve lost a lot of teeth. I have very few teeth that face each other. Most of the teeth on my upper jaw do not face teeth on my lower jaw. Needless to say, it takes me forever to eat and I have to limit hard or chewy foods. Not any more! I don’t want to spend $1200-$1500 buying a flexible denture. So...

My blood pressure is at healthy levels all through the day, mostly as a result of a low calorie, high fiber, small meal, frequent eating Diet, significant physical exericise, Coreg and avoiding irritants and triggers that cause Higher Blood Pressure and Heart Rhythm Irregularities. From the following table, it ca ...

The following is a chart showing my annual average Blood Pressure from 1998 through 2009, with the top heading starting at the Diastolic level of 59, the chart beginning in 1998 and ending in 2009. To help to read the chart, the average Diastolic reading for all of 1998 was 97. For 1999, the average Diastolic Blood Pressure was 92. For 2008, the average Diastolic was 72. I started dieting in the middle of 2004, without knowing anything about diet. It evolved into a low calorie, frequent feeding, high fiber, small meal diet targeting Insulin Resistance in December 2004. The ...

Thought that I would provide an update, showing my average blood pressure chart for the months of October and November, 2009. Most of the significant improvement in my formally chronically high blood pressure, has been through my diet of small calorie, high fiber, frequent feeding, high quality meals. I’ve been able to cut my blood pressure medications down to only Coreg 6.25mg, once per day. That’s it. That’s all! I’ve got Heart Failure, Atrial Fibrillation, Asthma, Immune System Dysfunction, Insulin Resistance & Pre-Diabetes and Valve Disease; and yet I can do 150 pushups, ... [Image Embedded Here]

I was on a diet targeting Insulin Resistance for all of 2005. I started documenting my diet, right here on HealthBoards, in January 2005 on a thread, I called, Does an "Insulin Resistance" diet improve blood pressure? At that time, I did not really know if I would continue to improve, or continue to get worsening heart failure and worsening health. In looking at the following chart, depicting my average Diastolic Blood Pressure for all of 2005, the dipping pattern is readily apparent. That means that, during the first year of going on a healthy diet, my body’s handling of ... [Image Embedded Here]

Follows is my horrible hourly average Diastolic Blood Pressure chart for 1999. The non-dipping nature of my Blood Pressure was quite obvious during 1999, but neither myself nor my doctors connected the pattern to a dysfunctional metabolism or Insulin Resistance and I kept getting worse. Not that I can really blame my doctors. I continued to drink beer and was on a very unhealthy diet. No one could tell me, back in 1999, that, all I had to do to greatly improve my health, and have a chance to survive Heart Failure, with a good quality of life, was to eat a healthy diet! I probably would not ...

The first chart shows my recent, healthy Diastolic BP range. The scale starts at the Diastolic level of 61, and the hours listed begin at 1am and run 24 hours until midnight. The numbers represent hour 01 thru hour 24, or 1am thru 12am. To read the following chart, the * represents the BP Diastolic reading. The average Diastolic reading at 1am was 71. At 2am the reading was 73. At 7pm (19) the Diastolic was 77. The lowest hour’s average, 63, was at 7am. The highest hour’s average, 83, was at 5pm (17). I just wanted to show how even healthy BP varied during the day, and it’s eas ...

(Date of experiment: 12-14-2009) Did a total of six SLIT treatments (experiments) today. The last few treatments caused no increased symptoms. I don’t know why, or what that means? I just reread an article on SLIT where it states that the Medical Community, at this point, does not know how many treatments to do, or how much allegen to use, or how frequently to give the SLIT treatments, etc., etc., etc., but it has been determined definitely that SLIT immunotherapy is effective at lessening Allergy Sensitivity, and is safer to use than SCIT (shots). That is like music to my ears. ... [Image Embedded Here]

(Date of experiment: 12-14-2009, 12:00 PM) Did another SLIT treatment @ 10:45am and one @ 12 noon. When I did my first one, at 7:30am, I experienced an immediate dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, heart jumping around in my chest, "labored" breathing and slight chest pains. What’s particularly interesting is that, the treatment @ 10:45am and 12 noon has caused absolutely no immediate reaction; and the one @ 10:45 never caused a reaction?! How come? I would think that, with each treatment, my breathing problems, and other symptoms, would get worse? I am sti ... [Image Embedded Here]

(Date of experiment: 12-14-2009, 10:00 AM) SLIT Rapid Desensitization Treatment (RUSH) #3 @ 10am. The RUSH protocol calls for several immunizations in a 3-4 hour window. So far.... so good. No significant increase in symptoms during these multiple exposures to grass pollens! I can’t believe that the reactions and symptoms are not compounding, or getting worse! I intend to do it again at 10:30am, 11am, 11:30am and 12 noon. So that I don’t over-do the posting , I will refrain from any other posts unless I get a response, or unless I get into trouble.

(Date of experiment: 12-14-2009, 09:39 am) OK. Now I’m getting a little more reckless! I figure that I am already going to be up all night long with "labored" breathing, or worse, and I will be sooooooo very sick tomorrow, so I am following the Rush Protocol, or Rapid Desensitization, which involves multiple treatments, innoculations, SLITs, whatever, during a few hours in ONE day. So, @ 9:30am, I went outside, pulled another blade of grass.... this one with a lot of dew/moisture on it, and, using a QTip, placed the pollens/pollutants/triggers under my tongue. ...

(Date of Experiment: 12-14-2009, 08:45 AM) Wow! You have got to be kidding me! Whoa! 8:45am, very dizzy, light-headed and, at the same time, very sleepy. Still slightly SOB, slight chest pains....... groggy! I am not looking forward to tonight. I hate being up all night with "labored" breathing, and then suffer from the subsequent malaise all of the next day! If it weren’t for my Flovent, I could be in serious trouble, but with the Flovent protecting me from any serious Asthmatic reaction, everything is all good! [Image Embedded Here]   [End]

(Took place 12-14-2009, 08:00 AM) It is now 8am, 30 minutes after a SLIT treatment, and I am experiencing slight SOB, and continued dizziness, just like I did Friday. Friday went OK, except at night when the asthma got worse. I can probably expect the same difficulties tonight! I am just sick and tired of having to deal with constant Asthma problems, and the constant threat hanging over my head that, if I do anything wrong, I will suffer from "labored" breathing and malaise. SLIT is a proven science, even though all of the details have not been worked out yet. I’ ... [Image Embedded Here]

(Date of experiment: 12-14-2009, 07:42 AM)   OK. I did it. At 7:30am this morning, EST, I pulled a blade of grass from the yard, with a tiny bit of dew on it, rubbed it gently with a Q-Tip and placed it under my tongue! What an incredibly dumb thing to do! The first reactions were almost immediate. A little dizziness, heart jumping around a little in chest and a little nausea. The worst reaction is the dizziness, although most people would say it was natural for me! Now.... hopefully, the dosage was mild enough not to put me through hell tonight, bu ...

Re: Does an "Insulin Resistance" diet improve blood pressure? (Originally documented on 5/30/2006)   My heart rhythm problems have significantly improved due to this diet. There are many negative effects of insulin resistance on one’s health including higher blood pressure and increased heart rhythm problems. Heart rhythm problems and blood pressure problems get worse because of an over-reactive neuro-hormonal system. I had already made significant and successful changes to my lifestyle and environment, in order to limit the over-activation of ... [Image Embedded Here]

Does an "Insulin Resistance" diet improve blood pressure? (Initially posted on January, 2005) I self-diagnosed myself as being insulin resistant on Dec 11, 2004. The clues were there. For many years, my morning blood pressure would start at a reasonable level around 120/80, and then "gradually" increase all day long until around 5-6pm. Then, unlike normal hypertensives, my blood pressure would really start to climb until it got to around 180/115 and would remain at that level, or higher, throughout the night. Also, I was having problems with diff ... [Image Embedded Here]
