New Blog: Pectus Carinatum Revolution Blog

A new blog about PC, but it will also be about PE as well because the two conditions are probably closely linked together. I have newly come up with a theory about why some people develop a combination of PC and PE and a very important statistic question for people with PC. I think it is needed from many aspects to keep PC and PE a little bit apart from each other when it comes to blogs and websites even though they are linked together. For those of you who are interested, you can get to this new blog by clicking here.

Pectus Carinatum vs Pectus Excavatum Theory

When my theories about pectus excavatum took form I made a parallel research in the field of pectus carinatum. It would of course have been idiotic not to do so. For those of you who are interested, you can read the “pc vs pe theory” here (a new homepage called Pectus Carinatum Revolution).

Zero Drop Shoes/Barefoot Shoes a Must to Fix Pectus Excavatum

The picture below illustrates how the curvature in the upper back (an arrow points on it) comes to exist because of ordinary shoes. I recommend strongly to consider buying a pair of zero drop shoes/barefoot shoes. Just google it and you will probably find something of interest. As long as the curvature of the spine is present pectus excavatum will be created. To be up on the feet in movement with a pair of zero drop shoes/barefoot shoes is probably the easiest and most effortless way to make improvements to PE. Everyone should use this kind of shoes to make humanity a lot healthier.

Nutrition and Pectus Excavatum

I believe that the most important thing to think about when it comes to food is to eat things that are good for the muscles but also remove things that are potentially bad. I don’t say that my ideas about nutrition and PE applies to everyone but I will in this post tell what I do and believe is good. Let’s start with what I have removed and why.


During recovery (as described here on my blog) the muscles in the upper back will be stretched so that the kyphosis will be fixed and the sternum lifts out. I believe that some things can cause the muscles to be very stiff and possibly make the recovery very difficult and even impossible. Here is a list of different kinds of things that I have removed from my daily intake:

Alcohol, coffee, chocolate, tobacco, wheat, butter, sugar and all forms of unnatural ingredients (many E-numbers). Chocolate is absolutely the worst of them probably caused by theobromine that can be extremely unhealthy for some animals. Minimize the salt intake is very positive for the muscles.


Tip: If the heart rate rise a lot directly after a meal it may be caused by something that the body doesn’t like obviously. For me personally that can happen especially after eating wheat. Another tip is that I think it is very important to be observant about allergic cross reactions and food allergy in general.

And now to the list of what I have found to be especially good during recovery:

Fish (seafood in general), potatoes, rye, oats, rice, eggs, cooking oil (instead of butter), fruits and vegetables especially cucumber and lemon, quite a lot of water (instead of all forms of liquid).


I try to follow the above rules as much as possible. The two most important things (I belive), is to almost never eat chocolate (kakao) and wheat or possibly very small amounts of them.
