We have been living in your cabinet this whole time. What a revelation! :D lol The past several months I've been on a quest to be healthier. And lower my cholesterol. Which isn't bad yet, but my GP told me to get on it now before it becomes a problem. So, I've been trying to do just that. At my last checkup, my numbers are looking better and I've dropped 25 lbs. Not even dieting. Just making better food choices. Of course, watching and listening to you, Dr. Mark, is very inspirational. You help keep me on track. :)

FYI when I was on a lot of meds I was way over weight. Stop all meds and dropped 54 pounds, BUT I was crazy. I realized that the weight gain was worth having a normal head.

There are lunch meats available that contain no sodium nitrates or other preservatives. Hormel makes a natural line of these meats.

Have a lot of inflammation in my blood, but not positive for RA or Lupus. Skin red and a little rash across arms. Joints red and hot been doing blood work for over a year. I have been prescribed Mobic and if I take it, it burns my stomach up so they want me to take rantadin( probably spelled wrong) most days I walk around with a band on at least two joints exercise a couple times a week any suggestions doc
