My BP was not under control and neither was my blood sugar.
yeah, i started drinking a lot of homebrew when i was 26. mostly because i gave up on cops helping me ever thinkformyself enough to stand up to dope cooks, and i knew beer was easy to make and i wouldn't end up getting taken advantage of....but when i was 29-30 i had horible heart burn, bad enough to be puking blood. and when my ass abccess poping and was spewing blood WHILE i was puking blood....i damn well knew beer & milk isn't a living plan! but i'm a cheap bastard and if i had to eat i wanted to learn how to do it as cheap as possible! at first i almost went the pill route, but said to myself, why is i drink in the first place? because i don't want to let someone use chemicals to take advantage of me...so i looked for a list of the vitamins i need and a list of what's in food. found the USDA nutrient db, and some third party utilities to use it...
i don't even have dandruf any more! lost 90lbs, kept it off for 13 years...liver is in good shape, blood sugar good, cholesterol good...BP good...
just got to make sure i make sure the 'bills' get paid, and keep it within the budget....
I know that its odd to be talking about this subject on a home brew forum
no man, it defintaly should be said especialy around here... this be risky bussiness. but doable!
edit: damn, i'm thinking, i should SOOOOO use the preview function before making posts like in the future!
