History: my husband will always be on prescriptions due to severe heart attack and bypass surgery several years ago but he can't handle the statins for his cholesterol. The statins cause his body to ache, enough so that it wakes him from his sleep. (We are dealing with the cholesterol with the Life Long Vitality supplements and other oils.)
-- While still on the prescription statins (he tried many) the aches were so bad that about 18-24 months ago the doctor put him on Meloxicam at bedtime. Yes, it helped with the aches but was hard on his stomach. The doctor was finally convinced to take him off the statin for a while but he still hurt so he continued to take the Meloxicam.
I was determined to get him safely off the prescription Meloxicam but I had to do it gradually - it took about 2-2.5 months. Since I'm the one who sets out his supplements and makes up the essential oil capsules my husband didn't always know when I made a change. But the next morning I was certain to ask him if he was aching. If he was aching I'd make an adjustment, if not then I'd continue for about a week before making another change. Here is the process we went through and it wasn't easy to convince him to go along with this at first.
- Take 1/2 dose of Meloxicam along with a veggie cap containing carrier oil and 4-6 drops of Thyme
- Replace prescription with 300mg ibuprofen and a veggie cap containing carrier oil and 4-6 drops of Thyme
- Drop the ibuprofen and take only a veggie cap containing carrier oil and 4-6 drops of Thyme
- Drop the amount of Thyme in the capsule to 4 drops
- Drop the amount of Thyme in the capsule to 3 drops - this wasn't enough, the aching returned though not as badly as before
- Take one Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex capsule at bedtime along with 4 drops of Thyme in a veggie capsule
- Take one Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex capsule at bedtime, nothing else
And that's where we are now. All he needs now is that one DBPC capsule at bedtime and there are no aches. No more prescription Meloxicam or OTC ibuprofen necessary. We are both thrilled!
