Summary

Hello and welcome to my next two weekly installments on the Redox Signalling molecules (beverage and gel).

Over the last two weeks, I have definitely noticed a variation in the pain of my tennis elbow injury. From how it was a constant pain to some days very minor that I don’t notice it. My energy level is awesome and my brain is very clear and focused.

I have had a few days that I felt very sore, and it seems to be in conjunction with my monthly cycles?? maybe the molecules are helping in that area, I do wonder how much my body needs at this time, I did up my does which I think helped but it is hard to tell if I would have naturally felt better or if its the molecules.

Overall I am very very happy with my progress, especially as I’m only 6 weeks into the 3-6 months expected timeframe.

Week 5

Thursday 12 April
Started to feel a bit better again today

Arm 6
Shoulder 3
Bowls ok

Started to get ovulation pain wonder🤕 if that’s why I was feeling bad last week?

Friday 13 April
Observations for today:

Arm level 6
Feel more energy back again
Ovulation pain 4
Started to need the toilet a lot yesterday?
Shoulder level 2

15 April Sunday

I forgot to write something yesterday which is interesting, am I not in so much pain so I forgetting??

My arm pain is definitely varying and not a constant anymore, at the moment it’s around 6 in morning to about 8 at night.

shoulder 2
energy 4

Notice: Bruises seem to be healing quicker. I bruise really easily and normally they take 2 weeks or so to heel, I’ve defiantly noticed them healing in a week!

Wednesday 18 April
Arm pain is quite minimal this morning yay, around 3!!! 😮

I’ve started to notice a change in my skin. My forehead feels very dry and a bit sensitive maybe need to back off the gel a bit on my face, I had this when I started using my Arbonne products that had active ingredients, it was just my skin getting used to it, so I’m not worried.

Update:

Regarding my Skin being very dry. I’ve spoken to Eniko (a natural path) and said to stop using the gel for a few days as it sounds like my skin is detoxing. I’ll back off and slowly introduce it again

Woo hoo just realised its the first day without my arm brace, didn’t even realise until now!! 10:00pm

Week 6

Thursday 19 April
Skin really dry still and has become a little sensitive. I”ve had to back off putting some of my skincare on as it’s stinging! I’m not putting the gel on my face either.

Skin feels itchy on arms. Maybe this is a detoxing or healing?

Friday 20 April

I woke up this morning, now feeling awful again, what I call back to my normal state (which is a huge change to what I’ve felt of the last 6 weeks). My mood is ok, as my head is clear, but my aches and pains and tiredness and not good again – overall feel a level 8

Arm level last night around 8, I applied the 3x in 5 Mins, it gave me relief before bed, pain to about 5, but when I woke it was worse again.
Shoulder / neck – level 4
no other noticeable pains

Noticed: other than week 4, after the accident I haven’t taken any pain medication 😲

Saturday 21st April
My skin is a lot better today and doesn’t feel so dry. I’ve managed to use my genius pads this evening (before they were stinging)

OUCH – Knocked my knee ( basically Knee butted the wall). Applied Gel straight away to see if I get a bruise???

(Update: Bruise did develop but really really faintly, normally I bruise really bad)

Have headaches
Felt like I needed to drink more water today
Energy good
Happy
Arm pain has varied today. Definitely not noticing it as much. Right now 12:46 (technical tomorrow) pain 4 woo hoo

Sunday 22 April
10:30 am – Did not want to get out of bed this morning, feeling very tired and a bit aching/sore / stiff. The weather is☔️🌧 – which is no incentive. First full wet morning for a while. This is normal for me when it’s wet and cold. Actually, I’m usually worse in damp conditions!

Arm level 6
Shoulder 2

By end of the day I’ve started to feel a bit crappy (only took 3x dosages – is that significant?

My skin around neck itchy
Also noticed on a scratch from one of the kittens on my finger is itchy a lot and has healed really quickly!

Monday 23 April

Woo hoo, my arm pain is between 0-1 again in the shower and I suddenly thought oh wow I have not felt pain so I moved my arm and nothing!

As I’ve begun to get myself ready starting to feel it so around 1-2 now 7:35am

Also, I’m not tasting the beverage anymore. When I first started it I had to hold my nose gulp as I couldn’t stand it. Now it’s like drinking 🥛 milk 😆

Shoulder and joints 3 – considering it’s still 🌧 our their I’m happy 😃
Energy and feel happy. People at work said wow you are chirpy
Feel hungry
Feel very dull aches (period)?

Dosage:

60ml am

120ml lunch

3:31pm Started to get dull aches – my period-pain, 😖 in my stomach and lower back too.

I tried the 3x 5. Mins gel application. Maybe a minor decrease in pain but nothing significant atm.

Had to take some pain meds. But disappeared as soon as I did, normally need to take Buscapan too!

6:12pm. Just realised my arm pain down to 4

24 April Tuesday
Woke up feeling good, considering I’m on my period. Not had to take any more pain meds which is an improvement! My skin had been feeling great but starting to get pimps around my mouth. I’ve not had this before – I wonder if this is another mini detox??

My Arm is feeling good. The pain has varied today but I haven’t had to wear my arm brace again. Pain from 4-5 to about 7 atm.

Definitely noticing big variations. Last 2-3 days especially.

Feeing happy and full of energy. Which is weird since I’m on my period. Defiantly still craved chocolate for the last few days which is normally. Not had to take any more pain meds for period paid Woop woop, bloating haven’t noticed anything!!! 😊😆👍🏼 Very unusual.

Excited what else these molecules will do

Wednesday 25th April
I woke up late – it’s a public holiday. But I have a headache and feel very very tired. I didn’t put any gel on last night, not sure if 🤔 that has anything to do with it?

Arm back to- level 7-8
Aching body- level6
Headache – level 6
Still on my period (but no pain!)

Wow, feel like I use to on a bad day back ribs shoulders all ache. Arm hurts I feel tired and have a headache.🤕 Forgotten how this feels

Dosage: (upped to see if it helps)

60ml am
120ml lunch
60 evening
60 before bed

I wonder if it’s my monthly cycle ( will need to check last month, to see if I felt this crap then too? Here’s hoping I feel good again in the morning.

On 20th April 2018

In healthy living, Redox Signalling Molecules, Uncategorized, wellness

pain-scale

Since my last blog post, I have definitely noticed some changes. Although small, and varying, they are still improvements.

If you want to quickly look at key milestones check out the coloured boxes, as I don’t expect the rest is of much interest to most people.😊 I have written a summary below.

Summary:

Week 1
15-21 March 2018

Introduced to Redox Signaling Molecules, started taking

30 ml molecule x2 a day, then when I received more product 60 x 2 day

Gel applied twice a day

Week 2
22-28 March 2018

Feel generally ok 😊 energy is good and my brain seems clear, and more focused! (sounds weird, I know)

60ml molecules x3 day

Gel applied lots ( gone through tube in a week)

Week 3
29 March – 4 April 2018

Beginning of the week was similar to week 2 generally ok with more energy and clear mind, but as the week progressed, I started to feel worse again

60ml molecules x3 day

Gel applied generally twice a day

Week 4
5- 11 April 2018

A lot of set backs 😣 outside my control this week and gradual decline in energy, however the level of pain is defiantly still varying, but more on the high side by the end of the week.

60ml molecules x4 day

Gel 3x in 5 minutes, x2 day

Details of Week 2

(see the previous blog for week 1)
23-24 March
After the first week of the molecules, my arm pain level is definitely varying. Some days it feels slightly better than others, which is good because up until taking the molecules it was constantly at level 8.

Ribs feel crushed. Think it’s from Lying in my side at night
Arm pain level 8
shoulder same 6

25 March Saturday

Today I decided to up my dosage as I want to see some more consistent results. I know there is a period of 3 – 6 months to see significant improvements but I have been advised if your body is in need of repair, taking more molecules can help

Changed doesage: 3x 60ml

26 March Monday

My arm is really sore today (around 9) and my body is also in a lot of pain today – maybe the weather – very humid

Applied gel x3 in 5 mins last night and got some relief albeit not for long. I’m running out of product so waiting for my shipment!

Tuesday 27 March

Feel like I have more energy today, hadn’t noticed until a colleague said wow you seem better today!

Oscar’s eyes are improving yay (see the post about Oscar my cat)

Feel generally energised and happier 😲
My arm is so sore today, woohoo products arrive let’s slather on the gel. Felt instant relief at first. Doesn’t last.

Slathered the gel on throughout the evening
Dosage 3x60ml
Period coming slight ache
Oscar’s eyes seem better again

Wednesday 28 March

Omg 😲 I just woke up feeling so tired ( time of the month) which is very normal, went to get in the shower. And I burst out crying, my pain level in my arm is down to a 1!! I have not had this relief for months, especially after how Painful it was last night. I’m not expecting it to stay as I use it throughout the day, but wow. And my scar is looking less red. Oscars eyes are looking better. I’m actually in a bit of a shock.

Details of Week 3

Thursday 29 March

Feel good, I wake, get up and get stuff done! 😲🙏
Arm pain around level 6 this morning so put 2-3 applications of gel 60ml molecules, pain levels increasing and decreasing – I feel like I need to take a higher dose but I don’t have enough molecules (plus $!?).

My Physio appointment is today so will be interesting –
- (update) – at the Physio, I mentioned my pain level has on occasion has varied, I explained I was taking these molecules, he said to continue what you’re doing as at least it’s not a constant pain like it has for months!

Taste of molecules I don’t notice it as much today, I must be getting used to it😄

Friday 30 March

Woke up at 8:51, I wanted to stay in bed but my mind didn’t so I had to get up doing stuff 😲 ( normally I stay in bed as long as possible)
Feel alert, I noticed I couldn’t sit still at egg rolling today (our annual friend get together) – my energy is good although still sad (recent breakup).
Arm pain level 8 / 9 😣

Wow what a difference.I have gone back to how I use to feel, I’d actually forgotten how bad i felt 🤕 I’d got use to feeling good!

My body feels heavy tired again, I didn’t want to get up this morning everything hurts. Having said that my arm isn’t too bad around 6. I feel like I’m fighting something. It’s as though the molecules have stopped where they were helping and gone to fight another battle maybe??

I have a stuffy nose and just feel rubbish

Dad came for a walk with me, down to the dog park today. The dogs as they do when excited run around and chase each other, but one knocked into his knee which jolted it. He was in some pain, so when we got home I gave him the gel, (even if he said “no I don’t need it – I can’t use that stuff). Anyway he did 3x in 5 mins, and I asked him how his knee was. He’s like ok. I said really how’s the pain. He’s like it’s actually okay, grudgingly lol

Sharing Oscar’s Progress on Redox Signalling Molecules

By Michelle McDonogh - Change your Look

On 6th April 2018

In Uncategorized

Oscar (my cat) went to the vets a few months back as his Third eye had begun to cover his eye. The vet wasn’t sure what was wrong, they checked his eyes but couldn’t really see anything. She said maybe its a virus and it should go away by itself.

1-IMG_1454-LR

A few months later and he still is no worse or better, it wasn’t going away. Then I was introduced to Redox Signalling Molecules, which helps our body repair itself, a lady their also mentioned about her horse – a vet had said it was too severe to be repaired, so she took it upon herself to try these molecules, and it dramatically helped, I thought maybe it would help Oscar.

I have been applying the solution to his eyes twice a day, the photos speak for themselves!

Yay for Oscar, love this stuff!

Weight Loss without trying

Well I’ve got to say I’m pretty impressed. I’ve lost 4cm and 1kilo in a week using these new weight management products! That’s without trying and eating chocolate and drinking wine. Love them 🙂

I’ve had to back off with the amount of fibre I was adding and couldn’t take the greens on its own as I didn’t like the taste, but when added to my meal replacement shake and adding a banana I kinda like it. All in all I’m highly recommending these. I believe they are great and you can adapt amounts and what you take depending on your goals.

Well, I’ve got to say I’m pretty impressed.

I liked the Arbonne shakes before the formula changed to a “meal replacement shake” and I’m loving them even more… Is that possible?

I put a scoop of my Greens powder and 1/4 of the fibre into my shake with 2 baby bananas and it is so satisfying for my breakfast. I use to skip breakfast because I never had time, so now these shakes and so quick and easy I have them on the run.

I don’t get hungry, I don’t feel bloated, I can truly say I like them. A lot!

Mineral oil – do you use products with it in?

By Michelle McDonogh - Change your Look

On 27th April 2014

In Uncategorized

Mineral oil is regulated by the Foods and Drugs Association (FDA) and is highly refined and purified – and is deemed safe to use on your skin, hence why it is in so many product. HOWEVER, I’ve decided not to use products with it in, I’ll leave it up to you to decided if you do…

The function of the skin is to breath and release toxins. Mineral oil forms a film on the surface of your skin that can not be absorbed, (like putting cling wrap over you skin and putting your products on top- it’s not going to go anywhere) thereby blocking the pores and the skin’s natural respiration. It traps dirt and bacteria and blocks the absorption of vitamins/minerals/botanicals that may be in a product.

WHAT IS MINERAL OIL
An extremely cheap & common petroleum derivative (refined crude oil petrochemical) which is found in a lot of skin care products. It’s use is a filler, it’s not really used for much more than that so why have it? To bulk out the product?

In 1996 John Hopkins University named mineral oil in cosmetics and moisturizers as the number two cause of aging (first being direct exposure to sun). It may also cause allergic reactions and dryness, as well as promote acne and other skin disorders.

Maybe that’s why my RE9 does soak straight into my skin and works because it doesn’t contain mineral oil, this is the first product I have used and has stabilised my skin, even after a few months it’s still doing it!
