Passed my physical and educated my doc on ecigs

[oxygen thief]

I've got a great doctor, one of the best GP's in Texas and a nice guy. Everything improved on my numbers and that was probably due to taking lots of fish oil that he suggested. BP was OK and I've been chain vaping so I thought the numbers might not be too good.
So I said seen one of these? No. It's an ecig and I gave him a very brief lesson on how it worked. He was impressed. He said, so you just dropped the cigs? Yep, and I'm not unique. I told him about All About Vapor in Round Rock so if a patient was interested they could go see how things work and change their life in the process.
I'm just spreading the word and I do that every chance I get.

Awesome, the more the medical community gets involved the better. Well, real doctors and nurses, not the political hacks we tend to run into.

Here's to your health:

Congrats on the good results. If you're taking fish oil, look into astaxanthin as well. They work well in tandem.

I will, thanks! I had really high triglycerides and he said to take about 5000 mg a day. It ended up improving some other numbers too.

Congrats Oxygen Thief. Way to go!!
Also get some ground flaxseed meal at the grocery store. It's where you find flour. It is very high in omega3. I just sprinkle it on everything. On cereal, salad, in meatloaf, when I bake bread or muffins. Lowers cholesterol. Adds no taste.
vape on friend.

I've been reading up quite a bit about nutritional supplements and what I've found is that Omega 3's (Fish oils), Astaxanthin, and Vitamin D3 should be staples. Solgar makes a great Omega 3 supplement, as well as the Vitamin D3, the best Astaxanthin I've found is Bioastin 12mcg

Have never heard of "Astaxanthin" before. I should probably start doing some decent supplements. Thanks for the info everyone.

4800 mg fish oil. It won't work in a month.

I have to get off one med though, I'm as big as a bus and the rapid weight gain is just ridiculous. I just read a lady's post, she doubled her weight in 3 months from 93 pounds to 183 on this drug (Seroquel). It's a psych med so you're in the clear if you're not, uh, excessively unbalanced.
