When It Comes to Pancreatitis I am ...

Kinda "One Way." Pancreatitis can kill me and you.

I know this and you should.

I have a complete regemin I created through my own research. It stops my pancreatitis attacks in 90 minutes or less. Plus my daily regemin pretty much keeps an acute attack from happening.

I have had pancreatitis for awhile (diagnosed 32 years ago), was told maybe I had 10 years left when diagnosed and I'm still alive.

ONE major series of pancreatic attacks in 16 years of using my regemin, NO necrosis, cysts, organ failure etc ... at least not that I know of for sure and of course if I had suffered organ failure I am sure I would have known and most likely wouldn't be here writing this blog.

That one series of pancreatitis attacks, in the last 16 years, was MY fault. I didn't read the label on some turkey sausage and missed the "pork casings."

I paid for that mistake for 2 - 3 weeks.

I had 12 episodes of major pain (all knocked out within 90 minutes) but I was one sick puppy for like 3 weeks. And ...

As a fellow pancreatitis suffer you probably know what I am saying in regards to severe pain and not feeling to damn good.

Along with my pancreatitis pain regemin I also have a pancreatitis diet that I do not vary from, at least not willingly.

I have had people try to kill me in the past with their cooking but I finally got smart and put an end to that with the only solution I found that works.

Friends, family and doctors may make suggestions and I may nod my head, trying to be polite but I KNOW what works.

I've done TONS of research and simply put everything together into two simple steps.

1) Stop the pain
2) Keep it from happening again

Now that is somewhat oversimplified but it's exactly what I have done in a nutshell.

I cringe evey time I think of having another Acute Pancreatitis episode.

I know my experience with the medical community and I personally do not want to be in a position where I have to count on them for anything other than my prescription anti-emetics (nausea drugs). Because ...

After 7 ER visits with none of those boobs able to figure out what the hell was wrong I'd rather place my destiny in my own hands.

I have had much better success.

But, that's me.

And I admit those ER visits were 32 years ago and maybe things have changed but my last episode was I think in 2005 and I didn't even bother going in because of my past experiences.

I know time is of the essense and screwing around with people who, from what I've found through my own personal experience couldn't diagnose strep throat without doing a culture, isn't in my best interests.

I know what you may be thinking ...

Things have changed in 32 years.

From taking my 84 year old mother to her doctor and listening to his dumb bullshit, along with seeing her suffer with symptoms he could not get a handle on for over 20 years of treating her, I personally doubt it. However ...

MY current doctor has actually started to help me regain hope that there are a few doctors who can think on their feet and can actually get it right, but, for me, it's gonna take some more "let's see how it goes" time.

IF I truly need them, doctors, I damn well hope things have changed in the ER because past history only tells me one thing - I'm on my own. And so ...

If I seem like a "one-way" knda guy it is because I've had one person to rely on, ME, and I am the ONLY one who has been able to stop my pain and keep my ass alive since Dr. Langdon diagnosed me in 1979 and then left town to teach in Texas.

I am the ONLY one I trust because even my own mother has made me sick (unintentionally) with what she thought was ok.

So here's the truth in a nutshell ...

The ONLY two enemies we face are:

1) Alcohol
2) Fat

The enemy isn't spices, salt, sugar, nitrites or nitrates or whatever. It isn't chili peppers or cayenne that's the problem in fact cayenne is your friend. Cayenne is highly anti-inflammatory and do you recall what pancreatitis is?

Correct!

It's an inflammation of the pancreas.

ANYTHING that is anti-inflammatory is your friend and fat (except fish oil) is NOT anti-inflammatory, it is the EXACT opposite.

So here's the deal.

Unless you have cysts, necrosis or calcification and you are sick and in pain it is because of two things and quite frankly you probably have the cysts, necrosis or calicification because of these two things:

1) You drink alcohol or unknowingly consume it in some form whether via food, over the counter remedies or mouthwash

2) Your diet contains fat

Period, that's it, there are NO other reasons.

Even if your Pancreatitis is due to an autoimmune disease or high blood fats the chances are you are in pain because you are NOT doing what you should be doing.

The problem with most people lies in the fact they are not willing to do what it takes to resolve the pain.

Instead ...

They always look for a magic pill and that's why fat people (I'm sorry if I offend you) look to diet pills and meds that are harmful or can be harmful instead of consuming less calroies than they burm daily.

If you are fat it is a 99% chance you are fat because you eat to much, eat the wrong foods and don't exercise. You can't stay slim porking out on chips, dips, icecream, pizza, cake, pie, cookies, donuts, double whoppers with cheese and fries, and adding in a diet coke to make yourself feel like you've really accomplished something.

IF you try to manage your pancreatitis the way most fat people manage their weight you are in BIG trouble.

I know, I'm blunt. But ...

Beating around the bush doesn't get it done.

If you want to be molly coddled, lied too (so your feelings aren't hurt), or hand-held I'm not your guy, see your doctor or find a nutritionist, on the other hand if you want to be pain free pay attention to what I share with you.

I smoke.

I drink coffee, hell, I live on coffee and cigarettes.

And my diet.

And vitamin C, grape seed extract and curcumin.

I do NOT drink or consume alcohol in any way, shape or form and ...

My diet is EXTREMELY low in fat. And ...

I will NOT eat food prepared by others because I can NEVER be absolutely sure of what it contains and what it contains means the difference between being well or possibly dead.

Hell, I even make a mistake now and then. If you recall my last episode of acute pancreatitis was MY fault.

I didn't read a label!

I screwed up so I am not perfect but I'm the only one I trust when it comes to pancreatitis and MY life.

If you want to be pain free you need to take responsibility and control your pain. It can ONLY be accomplished by completely changing the way you eat and drink and by taking the three supplements I have told you about.

Try anything else you like.

It's your life.

I have found what works for me and ...

Since pancreatitis isn't an enigma disease, I would guess, bet even, (wouldn't stake my life on it cuz there is ALWAYS a chance of failure) it will work for you. If you have a lot of damage it may take longer than the woman or man next to you in line but to be real blunt ...

My personal opinion is that if it doesn't work for you it's because YOU didn't follow directions.

1) You consumed alcohol in some fashion
2) You ate something that YOU thought wouldn't hurt or you weren't willing to give up
3) You ate food prepared by others
4) You didn't take ALL 3 supplements (vit C, grapeseed and curcumin) or
5) You didn't take them in appropriate amounts

If you wish to differ or argue feel free.

I'm just a guy who doesn't have pancreatitis pain anymore UNLESS I personally screw up whereas you are still searching for pain relief, am I right?

Yes, I am.

I know I am right because if you were pain free and feeling fine, you wouldn't be here reading this blog post would you?

So again, feel free to disagree but if you should decide it may be worthwhile to give my regimen a try here is where you can find a complete list of the supplements I use daily to ensure I am NOT sick like you are now: Pancreatitis supplements
