What a horrible, sour, old man you are. It was you who could never change. Like Lyle, I have no reason to exchange with you. All you have are insults and put downs because nobody agrees with you on things. We get it you 'Don't give a fuck' and we 'are all cunts'.

I know your condition and made a simple suggestion. I know it has worked for others too. Whatever. You are obviously far less knowlegable and flexible than I thought.
Fenster has explained to you in very candid terms the reality of living with a chronic long term health condition. Did it not cross your mind for one minute that he and others like myself suffering from such a debilitating condition might have explored countless options in an effort to better live with the disease? It is very misunderstood and you are only adding to that misunderstanding with your insistence that it somehow down to bad choices by those suffering.

AS (ankylosing spondylitis) is often thought to only affect young males and be simply a case of back pain. That is clearly not true 2 of my 3 half sisters and both my half brothers have it, as does my 70 year old father. We all have it in differing degrees.My youngest half brother is not yet out if his 20's and is already bent over like a question mark, it is horrendous and heart breaking to see a young man with a third of his spine fused. the majority of people with AS have the HLA-B27 antigen. The genetic element is clearly beyond dispute. My half siblings mother is a medicinal herbalist and nutritionist and so they have never eaten wheat or gluten since being born in the 1980's and your naive idea that it is simply down to a body being out of balance and can be alleviated with supplements and minerals is just you wanting to the expert on everything as usual. It is nonsense. AS is a auto immune disorder like most arthritic conditions and there is no cure. Anti inflammatory drugs can help alleviate some of the symptoms yet despite the fact that I don't even take them you are suggesting that I harmed myself by taking them in the first place? Do you think they give you morphine because you are bored or something? and you are calling me rude? your lack of empathy borders on the psychopathic Miles.


Slinging around expressions like


"I know your condition" and "you are ignorant about how your body is obviously out of balance and defunctioning" does nothing to help and just betrays your own chronic lack of respect for other posters.


You did not even eat vegetables until very recently and now you are lecturing us on nutrition? You are boasting about sending off to America for organic supplements and buying into the sick INFOWARS bullshit marketing thing when we have had holistic and herbal treatments, organic veg and alternative complimentary therapies here for decades. We grow stuff in our gardens and make tinctures and essential oils etc and they can help some arthritic conditions but they will not unfuse your spine, but no you have the inside track because you subscribe to some nutjob on the internet. What a foolish horrible little man you are.
