I have hundreds of tumors located on the base of spine and it can be very painful at times. I was just diagnosed in october so I am fairly new to the condition an...

Sorry if this isn't the right location for this post but it seemed to fit. I have been doing some vigorous weight training since early May and have stayed completely healthy the entire time. Recently, I went back to work at a maintenance garage that I worked at over the summer which I left once coll...

Well I didn't say that I read people advocated ZERO carbs, I just said that I've read on here to AVOID eating too many carbs. A lot of diet plans that you'll look at online will not include a laundry list of carbs on them. point is that a lot of people don't really understand how truly frustrating i...
