Hi, I would like some help from my family here at glp, more specifically the healthtards, for my father.

Also I would like to say, he is convicted his problems come from drinking and smoking .... I am not however. I believe through a better diet, he can overcome any illness. Or anyone for that matter. Ease lend a helping hand anyone

How many pounds overweight is he?

He weighs like 175 ... I mean he has a gut but is not overweight. Thank you for the response though I really appreciate it :)

he seems to be doing everything in excess, maybe time to start giving up some of these things

Alright mate,

my dad went through similar with blood pressure, drink and all that. I think he then went and took St. Johns Wort and seemed to mellow out. He drinks lots of tea. Proper good green teas etc. are really good.

The thing is though, it's all about the will. If your dad can't be arsed, you can't force the horse to water and make it drink, especially if you're the son.

Ask him if he feels happy. Ask him what would make him happy. Ask him how it involves him and not things/possessions 'no bills to pay'. See if he gives a shit telling you, then find a way of helping. Ask questions. When someone's in the shit and they want to speak, if someone asks the questions, they will. Otherwise just a couple of bottles a night and forget about it...

I really don't believe his addictions are his problems, I know if his diet was straightened out, or if he took supplements for his high blood pressure then he would be better off ...

His dream of dying scared me tho, I need healthtards!!

Here OP

this is a great site

maybe your father is actually aware that he has to do something to change or that his death is very soon if he does not

The smart thing to do: Go to a health forum, ask a doctor, or at least someone who isn't insane.

The glptard thing to do: Ask a forum full of schizos for important advice.

I really appreciate this thank you so much :)

His main problem seems to be his stress tho, his face is always deep red and something is always pissing him off ... I've been researching fluoride and the pineal gland, maybe with a fluoride free diet and fresh fruits and veggies to combat his body ailments, just maybe he will do a 180 toward better health??

Juicing raw vegetables and fruit will really help him.

Celery is great for stomach ulcers. You can purchase an inexpensive juicer for around $49 and make a tall glass of juice at least once a day.

If he enjoys it he might want to make it more often. It should be drank as soon as possible because the enzymes are alive and provide amazing energy and also detox too.

I agree with you completely regarding the mind over body thinking. This kind of thought prevents many ailments that otherwise might manifest.

Hope your father can get excited to add juicing to his daily regime. Both of you will notice a big difference in no time.

Sorry to hear about your father

I think you know already what he needs to do.

The alcohol must stop. That will put huge strain on the liver.

Stress is definitely always a problem and can cause many un diagnosed problems. Sadly in his case the bills are his driving force.
If there is any way to down scale your debt requirements that will allow him to work maybe a day a week less.

Sleep is very important. 8-9 per night.

And yes diet. For you are what you eat. Fresh fruit, an abundance of fresh veggies, some meat (grass fed/antibiotic free) at best.

Juicing veggies/greens is magical to the body. (as already mentioned various time before my post)

Drink plenty of water. Tap water is poisoned so seeks clean un fluoridated un chlorinated source.

All of these tips can be introduced slowly. A step in the right direction gets you closer to your dads health.

I had many of the same problems about a year ago, I got rid of most of my bills,lost 45 pounds, slowed way down on my drinking which does cause high blood pressure and slowed down on my smoking. I feel so much better.

I now work about 7 months straight ,as many hours as I can get and take off for 1- 1 1/2 years, fishing and stuff. On my next break I plan on going to Thailand for 2-3 years.

FIRST and foremost your father MUST find GOD!

Exactly what I was thinking, and to make it scarier, I psychic told me he would die in 2 years, which was a year ago ... I believe destiny can be changed fuck that psychic but that damn dream he told me about ... Ugh

Sorry to bump you, but the way this statement looks seems you're seeing yourself in a superior position to your dad. "Never tell people what to do"... especially dads. I wouldn't see him or his actions as any type of 'illness', he's just stuck in a rut, like pretty much most other humans working the grind. Try to give some love. Try to show some perspective. Offer genuine help and concern. Try to empathise more than sympathising. Laugh together. Do stuff together 'Let's do something we never do, suggestions on a postcard'.

Consumption of that much beer will not only increase your blood pressure, but over the long term, it will also give you diabetes. If he's serious about improving his health, that's the first thing to do, cut out the beer.

Yeah I understand the humor, but glp has knowledge that doctors won't tell you :/

Ok! Another great thought! So far I have at johns wort to research, and also whole, unprocessed/unfertilised during growth, vegetables and fruits made into a drink. I actually have a friend that does this I will have to talk I him. But thank you this is a grand idea. I was actually thinking of starting my own garden when spring comes around :)

He needs to quit smoking.

Cut back on his drinking.

Cut WAY back on his stress level. If it involves a life style change, then so be it.

Red Clover & Vit. E oil should help with the rashes.

I could write a book on stress with my dad. His blood pressure was so high, face off the scales, he could've pumped nitrogen.

The thing is, it's still taking a while, but we pretty much figured out how his childhood had fucked him up and left scars deeper than space lol. Unfortunately, he decides to deal with it internally (he's pretty good at it, but hey, nobody's perfect). The stress thing comes mostly from dad syndrome 'must', not 'could' [there being no other option as a dad].
It also comes from frustrations that are buried within and never surface. If the shit's in the stomach, you need to go for a shit.

I also recommend the vegetable juices. My sister does wicked ones when I'm back home, they blast you into hyperspace first thing in the morning - WAY better than coffee. She chops everything in, ginger, orange, apple, celery, whatever she can find. They look stodgy, but really take it away.

Instead of talking about all this shit though, just do it. Bring him a glass of something, even just freshly squeezed orange juice. Get him the best pineapple you can lay your hands on, share it, chew the fat.

hmmm.... you must love your dad very much, if he is destined to die young, you must prepare yourself and accept it. sometimes we can try to change things but when it is your time to go, nothing will stop this.

You should definitely start your own little garden. Don't do too much, otherwise you'll be put off. Just do a couple of small things. I did a whole herb garden round my parents' with 18 different types of herbs, some double, some triple, everyone loves them.

What you grow comes from your hands, your energy and your heart. You make your salad. Without you, the salad would not be able to exist, so it works especially hard just for you. :]

He has to be willing to change first, and yes the addictions are part of the problem.

Why? because his addictions are keeping his blood acidic. It's all in the blood, anything that makes the blood more alkaline will help his body recover. Acidic blood starts clotting and produces heart complications and since it cant travel into the bones it also causes other things such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Greens such as kelp are highly alkaline.

If you think he is willing to take it all the way then this thread will help.
Thread: ANYONE ELSE HERE INTO LIFE EXTENSION ?

Well, I'll toss out some comments and ideas.
Your pops is fairly young, so any positive changes he makes now will certainly improve his future. Tell him to start out by drinking more water. A lot of people are dehydrated and don't know it. Drinking alcohol isn't so bad if you have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, but if he's throwing back whiskey by the tumbler loads each night, that is not good. Mostly, because you said he only eats twice a day and thats pretty rough on the liver. Tell him to drink more water! Cigarettes....he should quit, we all know why. No worries about the weed....it's all good, he works hard and it sounds like that isn't the problem.
People seem to always forget their head is connected to their body. It's always good to check-out whats going on upstairs, and rid yourself of the negative waste along with pursuing positive health changes.
You sound like a caring person, good luck with your quest

Thank you this is very helpful. Unfortunately he will not stop drinking, it's only enjoyable time of the day to be honest .... But yes I've been seeking unfluoridated bottled water (still can't find it) and fruits/veggies are number one on my list so far. And also he's gonna work as much as he can, I can't change that. He's been pushin himself his whole life ...

i wouldnt recommend st johns wort. plenty of evidence of heart palpitations, i know, happened with me. potentially nasty stuff that is far too readily available

also would disagree that him not being religious or spiritual is 'absolutely one of his problems'. how the hell you managed to work that one out is anyones guess

i dunno, he sounds like he is in a bad way, especially for a mere 46

i would say he sounds depressed as well as stressed. stress WILL manifest itself physically, especially rashes and legions that dont appear to have an obvious allergic cause

alcohol and weed both have depressive effects. cannabis WILL make you worse IF youre already depressed

i dont think theres much you can do apart from maybe try and take some of the stress of him in any way you can

although if he was any kind of a parent, he wouldnt be worrying you by telling you his scary dreams

you can make suggestions that he try and cut back on all the bad stuff, but im not sure you can get him to stop worrying, which may be the root cause of his physical problems. you say YOU want to lengthen his life. well, it is HIS life. hes not a pet. and as for combatting the symptoms - i think the causes needs tackling, or you are on to hiding to nothing

some people just cant DO stress

like someone else suggested - talk to him

Thank you so much everyone I'm trying as fast as I can to reply to very one one at a time an gather a list of ways to help him, much love everyone :)

he has to want to change himself first.

Look up ALL OF THESE PEOPLE

watch their videos on youtube (if they have them)


Dr. Mark Hyman - functional medicine

Dr. Tent (on youtube -- many videos -- one is "exploding autoimmune epidemic")

Gregg Barden - Healing

Edgar Cayce - Healer

VERY VERY TRUE

I've tried so hard to convince him of god but he will not accept it ... I don't really know, but I assume he does not believe because so much suffering goes on in this world ... I could go on forever about god and why we are here but that is a different subject.

I will continue to help him find purpose and reason though ...
