I have Degenerative Disc Disease in my neck and lower back predominantly, which was made a lot worse from an accident, pushing all the spinal fluid out from around my spinal cord. I believe its called spinal stenosis. Diagnosis from my neuro surgeon was, its only going to get worse and I would be in a wheel chair within 5 years without a terrifying operation, and any bump or bang to my neck causing a possible catastrophic spinal cord injury. That was nearly 8 years ago, I didn’t have the op.
A lot of what I see here on OG requesting info for diseases, and this is in no way a criticism, is really just to suppress the symptoms of a disease rather than resolving the problem causing the symptoms. We are convinced by our established health systems and doctors to believe that taking something to mask the symptoms of disease is the only thing we can do, just as it is with pharmaceutical medicine which does not cure, but just mask symptoms. I was prescribed Gabapentin but I declined as it’s really an anti depressant they found helps reduce neuropathic pain a little.
What, and how we eat affects our bodies more than anything. All disease is born from inflammatory responses by our immune systems. Sugar and refined carbs create the most inflammation in our bodies.To correct a problem you have to remove as much inflammation as possible so the body can repair the damage and heal. If you eat a moderate amount of carbs a day and drink alcohol, you will very likely have a Vit B deficiency, most people do. Vit B1 helps with other things to regulate our nervous system, if we are difficient in it, it can create the same symptoms as a neuropathic disease or damage, and can exacerbate a neuropathic condition. If you have severe nerve pain as I did I would recommend a vit B1 sub part called Benfotiamine, it’s natural job in the body is to repair damage nerve sheaths which reduces pain.
If you go on a low carb diet and intermittent fasting and or long fasts you create a condition called keytosis which signals the body to go into autophagy. This is where the body starts creating macrophages that go around scavenging anything in the body that is not functioning properly at a cellular level for energy. Once you start eating again the body creates new stem cells that replace the old damaged ones that were used fuel and repairs the damage. If you have 50,000$ spare you can by pass all the fasting and go to Mexico and get a 2 week stem cell replacement therapy, where they injected directly into the damaged areas and repair the damage.
For the last two years now, I have been intermittent fasting eating only in a 4 hour window mostly every day and I did long fasting up to 6 days at a time once a month for all of 2021, as well as microdose with shrooms all of which I feel has corrected the damage in my neck. I had only 20% moment from left to right and zero moment looking up and 70% looking down. Any further would cause severe pain to the point I would black out if I carried on. I have to wait 5 years to get a new appointment with my neurologist to confirm with an MRI 
At the moment I am relatively back to normal prior to my accident, looking left to right and down with just around 80% movement looking up without any pain.
Having said that, treating the symptoms while you are dealing with healing the disease, I found the Romulan strain to be very helpful as well as the shrooms, but diet and fasting is the key for me to getting back to full health on all levels not just my spinal stenosis.
why is it these miracle cures always cost a damn fortune.
