I need x-rays
-
It is not clear to me what x-rays are going to do to improve your situation. It may give you a label (such as arthritis) and provide a basis for your doctor to prescribe drugs, but it will not make your condition better.
'Text neck' and poor posture are common issues that need to be ruled out be before going on to the medical treadmill. In the past, I have had some upper body (neck and shoulders) issues associated with poor posture from extensive computer work. It is very common these days and in my case DYI treatment worked.
Here is a generic link to some exercises to consider:

It's probably not x-rays but red-light therapy.

I am in touch with Danny so most of what I do has been discussed with him.
I never have cold hands or feet.
I don't think I can take a lot of aspirin. I just take a tiny amount and I already get bleeding gums and if I accidentally get a small cut it bleeds like crazy. I take vit K too but it doesn't seem to make it better. The small amount is ok but if I take more I'm worried about the bleeding, even when I brush my teeth.Yes I do hold a smart phone for an extended period of time. I'm as addicted as anybody else

@LucH
wait, what does this mean? I have been using red light lately
Didn't even think about that. -

The Therapeutic Effects of Red and Near-Infrared Light (2017)
http://valtsus.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-therapeutic-effects-of-red-and-near.html
“Previous studies have shown that exposing cells to a particular wavelength of light, 670 nanometers, toward the red end of the visible spectrum, causes their energy-producing mitochondria to boost production of adenosine triphosphate, which powers the cells.” (Science 2017)
Near-infrared penetrates the tissue better than red light, so it’s more commonly used for treating body parts that are under the skin (brain, glands, joints, muscles). Visible red light is more commonly used in the treatment of wounds or skin diseases.
The right dose
Low-to-moderate doses of light are often described as stimulating and high doses as inhibitory, because some markers that can be increased by low doses of light, have been shown to decrease with excessive light doses. The exact mechanism of biphasic dose-response is not known, but it might be related to excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). -

I try to prop my phone again something as much as possible so I am not actually holding it when I use it. I have been looking for something to hold with the phone in it when I do have to have it in hand, so I am touching it as little as possible.

I actually do have Helycrisse. How do you apply it? You use a carrier oil? -

Not obliged to but the penetration will be easier. Advised to do so.
2 possibilities with oil + EO- I have a small pot with 10 ml oil ( tsp). I put a finger in it and rub the skin. Afterwards I take 2 drops EO on a finger and I rub the place where it is needed. x 2. Not very practical but quicker. Total 4 drops, 3 times a day.
- I mix oil and EO in the pot.
Mind the proportions: 40 % EO.
For 10 ml oil, it makes 4 ml EO (4 x 20 drops). Not cheap so.
Try to add lavendula or tea tree. lavendula if you don't take aspirin.
I'd add 1/3 anti-pain EO if no aspirin. But with no irritable touch.
Edit: Instead of oil, you can use body milk if you don't mix the whole thing.

got it. I'd suggest trying to reverse a vitamin K deficiency, with just prolonged higher doses of vitamin K (K2MK4 is a must, idealabs is suggested). If you can't go higher dose on the aspirin, I'd consider getting a couple bottles and going reasonably high dose topical on the belly button, and orally.
Danny said how when he was reaching 3 g of aspirin, he was bleeding like crazy, and unbeknownst to him had likely induced a vit K deficiency, upped 5mg to 10mg vit K and that went away pretty quickly. Maybe you need more. keep up calcium and vit D and you're killin it.
All these nutrients will be important cofactors in the improvement of arthritis, anyway!

same, but after I deleted a game I was seriously spending too much time on, my own arthritic pains have gone away. Also, I try to limit things on the phone, that I could do on a computer instead, that seems to gives less centralized radiation.
I don't think there's a way around this. I remember Ray commenting how he'd be emailing people back and forth about their problems for years, and then find out they are on their smart phone all the time. Note: radiation mitigating devices has not worked for me (still keep them on my phone)

@DavidPS Great point DavidPS. I second this. One should be doing the things that will fix arthritis anyway, so knowing if what you've got is arthritis is a moot point.
If you google what a doctor will prescribe, it'd basically be painkillers/NSAID's, steroids, and DMARDs (supposedly stop progression of arthritis)...

Masterjohn says K2 MK7 for fluidity problems is optimal, better than K1.
Mind the protection (oxidation) for MK7. Rather fragile (3 months if not well encapsulated with e.g. rosmarinus). So No liquid form with MK7.
Excerpt:
There is reason to think MK-7 would be better at supporting blood clotting.
“MK-7 is not just three times better than K1 at reaching bone; it’s also five times better at supporting blood clotting (Schurgers, 2007). This may be because the greater fat-solubility of MK-7 makes it hold on more tightly to the membranes within liver cells, making it stay active in the liver much longer rather than being released and broken down (Shearer, 2008). The liver is where clotting proteins are made, so more extended activity in the liver would explain why MK-7 could better support blood clotting. If this is correct, other long-chain MKs such as MK-8 and MK-9 probably share this property as well.”

@LucH I agree Mk7 better than K1, but apparently Mk7 functions like a surrogate of Mk4 -- it's sole reason that I recall for it's continued support is that it's half life is twice as long, but, that's likely because it's used half as effectively. Apparently K1 itself is converted to Mk4.
https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/k2-mk4-or-mk7.13828/page-4Based on this, I believe it would be better to just continually consume more Mk4.
-
@LetTheRedeemed said in I need x-rays:

Yes, I do so (MK4) but once a week I take the full spectrum.
I won't account much on the conversion rate (K1 => needs for MK4 and MK7), very weak (15%) and random. -

@LetTheRedeemed , Ray recommends gelatin to be about 1/3 of the total amount of protein since gelatin is missing essential amino acids.
For me, the ratio has to be even lower, of about 1/4, not produce negative effects such as brittle nails and hair. -
@LetTheRedeemed
I've been taking VitK by Thorne. As seen below. Would that mean 1-2 tablets a day?
I only take one every other day so probably can take more. I don't like to take a lot of supplements that's why I don't take much at the moment. I do think aspirin is important and that's why I take this as well.

@happyhanneke said in I need x-rays:

half-life of K2 MK7 is 72 hours.
I’ve had a discussion on RPF about the dosage of vitamin K2. How much is too much?
I won’t recommend taking more than 2 mg / day, given the fact that the menaquinones (K2 family) are broken down into menadiones, which can be "toxic" If repeated.
http://ajplung.physiology.org/content/ajplung/262/5/L637.full.pdfMenadione in excess clearly affects the mitochondrial function. (5)
However there is no reported health risk when taking K2. Excess K2 is excreted through urine and feces (through bile). No direct adverse effect doesn’t mean there is no impact on energy level. This is a personal comment. It depends on the way the body neutralizes an excess oral supplement.
Mind excess alpha-tocopherols too (vitamin E) because it may interfere with synthesis of K2. (6- 7). And do not take at the same meal.
Also if you take phytonutrients as AINS (curcumine or aspirin) because it affects cytochrome P450 (detox pathway). You need a recovery period between 2 cures.References

α-Toco may interfere with the side chain removal of phylloquinone (PK) to form menadione (MN) as an intermediate for synthesis of tissue-specific menaquinone-4 (MK-4).Dosage
K1= 45 mcg.
Enough to improve the level of artery calcification and cardiac mortality. It depends on the interaction between A D K vitamins.
K2 type MK4: 45 mg (45.000 mcg).
Recommended to decarboxylate the Osteocalcin level.
K2 type MK7: 240 mcg for diabetics and obese people. Level recommended in the prevention of atherosclerosis, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, etc.

@happyhanneke Danny Roddy recommends 5mg vit K for under a gram of aspirin, and 10mg vit K for 2-3 grams of aspirin. (Edit: I way under pitched the recommended doses by Danny)
Basically 5 grams vit K per 1 gram of aspirin sounds safest.
For you, that would mean 3 capsules for 3 grams of aspirin
I want to say Ray and Georgi talked about 15mg of vit K daily to replicate the antibacterial effect of tetracycline class antibiotics

For now I'm not doing the X rays. I don't know what would come out of them anyway.
I am trying DMSO and that seems to help a bit so I am hopeful.
-
@happyhanneke nice. Consider researching sodium thiosulfate and see if that can be added to the dmso for benefit. It’s one of the least spoken of supplements in the bioenergetic community for some reason, but Ray spoke about using. It is a powerful decalcifier.
