    F*ck The Law Of Attraction

    The original law of attraction feels like magical thinking to me. I am so powerful that the Universe aligns with my desires and gives me everything I want. This philosophy works better among wealthy people than with people who are barely surviving. It "proves" that people with excess are...

    B3 for energy production

    My sister just sent this link. Do any of you know how the supplement NADH (which I've tried) relates to NAD+? "First human clinical trial for nicotinamide riboside Vitamin safely boosts levels of important cell metabolite NAD+, which is critical for cellular energy production and protection...

    Vegan Doctors

    Thanks for your concern for my sister. This happened a year ago, it was caught tiny on a mammogram, and was completely removed. But the experience made me sensitive to claims that a vegetarian diet "prevents" breast cancer. In case I wasn't clear, there's a screen shot at 1 minute, and at...

    Vegan Doctors

    In "Best diet..." at 1 minute there's a screen shot of the best cancer-prevention diet according to the expert report. It says to choose a diet that is predominantly plant based and says nothing about dairy, or even meat. At 1:18 the doctor rewords this as "vegan, or plant based;" the study...

    My sister has been vegetarian for 30 years, and she's the only one of us to get breast cancer. I don't know how much dairy she eats, but the PubMed literature review described above did not specify dairy-free as an important component of a cancer-beating diet. My take is that this doctor...

    @Empty you mentioned Andrew "Spudfit" Taylor early on in this thread. Did you see his "Spudtember" challenge? He put together a FB group to eat only sweet and regular potatoes for the month. October 1 puts him at 9 months eating this way, and he's lost just over 100 pounds so far. He'll...

    Dr. Richard Podell and Dr. Ginerva Liptan on Using Medical Marijuana in Fibromyalgia

    Thanks for all the info, @460inparadise. I wasn't actually asking a question, just sharing information. I'm done experimenting until dispensaries open here next year. I'm not going to risk growing my own, so making tincture would be cost-prohibitive. My FM should qualify me for medical mj...

    Dr. Richard Podell and Dr. Ginerva Liptan on Using Medical Marijuana in Fibromyalgia

    I've tried CBD from 4 vendors, including Elixinol and Charlotte's Web [in case purity was the problem with the cheaper ones]. It makes me sick at 5 drops. Since I'm allergic to hemp seed (vomiting), I imagine that's the problem. I have less of a problem with cannabis drops, but haven't found a...

    Dr. Richard Podell and Dr. Ginerva Liptan on Using Medical Marijuana in Fibromyalgia

    Medical marijuana will be available in my state next year, and I hope to find strains that help with sleep and, secondarily, FM. I've been able to try indica tincture and indica capsules, but neither has helped. So the next step is to test individual strains. I'll have to buy it - they...

    Dr. Richard Podell and Dr. Ginerva Liptan on Using Medical Marijuana in Fibromyalgia

    @460inparadise my neighbor and I have both gotten lasting FM pain relief from 4 1.5 hour sessions of John Barnes myofascial release. We do recommended exercises at home and also take boswellia 3x a day. https://www.mfrtherapists.com/app/list.asp?state=CO&country=US I recommend "expert"...

    Need Help, Can't eat, so much pain.

    Two of my grown kids have had very strange, very painful stomach issues in the past year. Doctors never figured out the cause. It's possible that your fancy drink had nothing to do with the symptoms you're experiencing. Both finally got some relief with a medication for stomach cramping...

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    Yes, that cautionary note is the reason I'm waiting before giving DMSO a glowing report r.e. psoriasis. It looks better one day, then looks flaky the next. Thanks for reinforcing what I had read. I guess I was confusing about sleep - because I asked you earlier if it was disruptive for you...

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    I've been using 70% DMSO am/pm for a week now, and have 2 reliable results. Daytime energy has improved some, and my skin is so soft that my visiting daughters noticed before touching me. I mix it with water, and only use coconut oil occasionally, on my face. I'm testing DMSO with hemp oil...

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    If you get it apart, I'd love to know how the roller is made. I have some glass roller bottles with metal rollers, but the inserts are plastic.

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    @Wayne you mentioned getting a boost in the morning after applying DMSO. So you avoid using it right at bedtime?

    Other People

    I knew a woman years ago who was partnered, but they lived separately. That sounds perfect for me. I do fine with occasional visits of up to 2 hours, but too much/too often and I get irritable. Which destroys relationships really fast, so I keep things short. Kudos to you for keeping...

    Found A Core Psychological Feature to Fix - But How?

    Ah hahaha! I fast-forwarded randomly and got "For instance, something that can trigger cancer in you can do nothing to me." Hahahahaha!

    POTS Inexplicably Improves After Topical DMSO Applications

    Thanks for this. I went out and bought some distilled water to make a solution like yours, which I will now use with coconut oil. "Diluting" it with 1/3 coconut oil wasn't working. 1) it doesn't mix, and 2) after a few days my fingertips turned pruney. It seems that DMSO pulls water out of...

    A Decades Long Struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Ends

    @Empty you couldn't pay me to get in front of a camera! My kids ask permission before taking pictures of me. So, yeah, no YouTube for me. If you tagged me because of the information in this thread, my viral titers were never very high, so I've never taken antivirals.
