Day 3

So i started today with 20 minutes of red light treatment on my hands and 20 minutes on my feet.   This seemed to be more comfortable to me because the red light machine felt really hot to my hands halfway through the treatment when i did hands second.   When i went to the office, we did a repeat of the previous sessions- a 20 minute session with the red light devices in the office and the electromagnetic therapy.  After that they used the massager to break up scar tissue followed by the laser.  I couldn't feel the laser on the majority of either foot- with only an occasional and brief ability to feel the heat.  Switching to hands... like before, the laser sensation was much hotter in the back of my hands, yet barely noticeable on my palms and fingers.   Dr Buckley advised me to adjust my home red light sessions to 10 minutes each instead of 20.  He also advised they would be stopping the massager on my feet- which really pleased me- because my response is the opposite of the desired reaction.  Rather than relaxing, i was tensing and flinching.... but I've NEVER in my life EVER liked my feet touched.  At home tonight, I did 10 minutes on my hands as instructed, but i disobeyed instructions and did 15 minutes on my feet because it was feeling good.

I purchased a ketone meter to get a quantifiable measure of how i was doing on the Keto diet.  My ketones measured at 0.9 yesterday- 0.5 -> 1.5 is light ketosis....  I've read that 1.5 -> 3.0 is ideal.  I'm not sure how to move it higher as i have not knowingly been cheating on the assigned keto diet. This morning i weighed on the scale at 228.3.  My glucose average for all 4 meals is below 100- which is a 15-20 pt drop from my 2020 averages. I also did the first mm wavelength treatment yesterday and noticed zero difference- which leads me to my point today.... I've now completed 10 of the 24 treatments.  Since starting treatment with Dr Thai's practice at Advanced Nerve and Health, I've seen notable weight loss and laudible improvements in glucose- but still minimal to no changes in the way my fingers and toes feel on a daily basis.   To be entirely fair- when i started treatment, it seemed to be a 24x7 constant and now it feels better/worse at ...

Finished my 3rd supplement last night.   This was a berry flavored detox.  I'll tell you I've never tasted a berry like this though, and that isn't a compliment.  It's tolerable if the water is really cold, but the drink is the color of the incredible hulk, and if you shake it too much, it can turn partially frothy.... it's the froth i found yucky.   Don't shake it, and i couldn't get it dissolved entirely.  Oh well, it was only 30 days.  Hopefully, you can enlarge the pictures below to read ingredients if you want.

Met with Dr. Buckley yesterday and expressed my frustration.  He reminded me this is a process and individual results can differ.   He also reminded me to compare where i am to where i started- not where i want to be.  He provided several examples that progress is occurring: 1) i couldn't feel the laser heat on much of my feet during the initial assessment and on my palms during the early therapy sessions- now it is VERY light in places. 2) Early experiences/sensations were constant- and near the halfway point i have good hours and some not so good.  He also tempered my expectations that i might not realize full healing and no discomfort- but that i should accept that improvements have occurred and are occurring still.  I'm not radically enthusiastic about his answer, but i understand it.   I can't even say he is wrong.  I'm simply disappointed because in my mind, i had expected a near recovery by this point considering where i started and th...
