					<description><![CDATA[Reads like harsh comments to someone in pain.  Judgemental tone.  

Each of us are on a different path. 

I empathise with Jacqueline.  I’m single, 69, bedbound, without friends or family.  I fast, been on the Keto diet and Autoimmune Protocol.  Have had chronic, debilitating pain for 34 years.   I know Yahweh will greet me in Heaven when He calls me home.  Amen!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Starvation leads to multiple system failure.

I’ve been a vegan for 60 years. Jog every day, been physically active as a surgeon and have the genetics to stay in a BMI of 21-23.

The USA is plagued by dumb diets (fasting, ketogenic and paleo), processed foods, junk foods, too high sugar and sodium.

A man should limit his sugar intake to 150 grams or 10 teaspoons a day. Yet one 12 ounce can of Coke contains 12 teaspoons and Monster energy drink has 27 teaspoons of sugar.

Don’t screw with Mother Nature.  You want to lose weight?  Consult with a registered dietitian who understands physiology and science.]]></description>

Jacqueline,

Please do not think about ways to die, even though pain makes you feel miserable and hopeless, You still have a purpose!   I understand where you are coming from and “stumbled” across a different physician who is helping with different options that are still reasonable.  I truly understand how hard it is, but Keep your hope alive please!   You will be missed as there are all sorts of ways to impact others!  Literally millions of ways.  My email is kimjblankenship42@gmail.com if you’d like to correspond!

					<description><![CDATA[I have Addison&#039;s Disease and on 4 occasions my stomach has completely shut down. Medical tests such as Gastric Emptying scans have shown my stomach completely shut down showing 100% retention of the nuclear reactive food/liquid they have me ingest. Drs know that when my cortisol is low due to the Addisons that the first thing that shuts down is my stomach. The longest I&#039;ve went without eating was from June 9th- Aug 16th surviving on fluids alone. In mid Aug 2015 when my stomach partially woke back up the only thing it allowed was small smoothies daily. That last from Aug until nearly December. From June-December 2015 I lost a substantial amount of weight. That&#039;s the longest my body has ever done that. Recently, for the last 2 weeks my stomach has shut down again only this time its not even allowing my much needed medicine and fluids to stay down. I have been traumatized greatly from my 22 hospitalizations in the last 34 months and refuse to go back. I&#039;m not too sure how much more my body can handle. I don&#039;t know what to do to encourage my stomach to wake back up again.  Honestly it doesn&#039;t even bother me being shut down other than knowing it&#039;s literally a race against the clock. I think my body is just done being sick all the time.]]></description>
