@John Paul New research shows that soaking rice overnight reduces arsenic levels by 80% + it cooks faster. I got this info from google so IDK how trustworthy it is. Anyways it's effortless so why not. Also you may learn simply to detox heavy metals so you won't have to worry so much about stuff like this if you have a way to consistently dump the bad stuff

Lmao. Again my estimation skills were off. I though I bought way too much carpet and I end up needing like three square meters more . I ordered a different brand because it ships sooner ( three days instead of two weeks ) . It's kind of more expensive as well If i add all the costs. I was resisting puchasing it because I didn't want to assimilate that I f*cked up and purchased too little carpet. It's okay. The plastic parts for the doors have arrived. Purchase silicone spray to fix the windows screeching and then insulate inside the doors with Kaiflex, carpet the door panels and carpet them. The micro-perforated vynil has arrived. Watch youtube video on how to install. look for cool seat covers. Also sand the seat bases and re-paint them black.

Aight. I've been procrastinating a little on " starting " . It's okay. It's part of the process. Two steps forward and one back as allways. Today is my day off. Re-read my notes and plan how to begin actually chelating.

Reminds me of a quote form Owen : When nothing matters, everything matters, as in: if you don't have anything going on for you in life you whine about everything, and if you're focused and collected then you brush inconvenciences off your shoulder.

I still feel a little burned out. I'll take today off and re-read my notes on heavy metal detox so I can start that and tomorrow I have plenty of time to do some more work on the van. I may have to buy some extra glue and material.

[ ... ] This is because cadmium is insoluble in acidic urine ; we alkalinize it so that the cadmium does not deposit in the kidney. This is what I wrote last time. I don't think meat specifically has anything to do with the issue, it's just that meat happens to be one of many acidic foods. IDK about the importance of this , but it is pretty much the only reason I'm considering doing a hair test ( to see if I happen to be cadmium toxic from 24 years of passive smoking and more unknown factors )

@Bogdan Not much. I understand that animal foods are high in zinc and plant foods are higher in copper and the two balance eachother out. Excess of coper is suposed to be excreted in feces and idk about zinc. I've heard about copper toxicity as it os a heavy metal but I'm not sure about what would a zinc toxicity look like. If @The0Self would be so kind he could throw a few insights on zinc to copper ratio and possible dangers Anyways I'll do some more research on this later one and post the info.

Got mi order after a whole month.

@mememe lol. Dudes are DTF 24/7 365 days a year from all ethnicities all ages from 14-105

I feel a little burned out from working 7 hours a day in my job and then another 8 on the van. It's okay. It's worth it. Tomorrow more.

David bond is long the same lines. I thought he was a cool openminded dude but then hes a trump supporter and funnels his " extras " behind a paywall. Nice daygame infield thought.

I managed to puzzle and blend it together so it looks decent. Today I started working 9 am and finished 19 PM with a few short breaks. It was good and productive and I did not procrastinate but a recurring theme is that I get done less than I expect. It's funny how off my expectations are sometimes. That's okay. Tomorrow is another day. Slowly chipping away at a proyect like this is exactly what I need to develop patience and some work ethic. If you remember the categories in the book " Mastery " I classify as "the obsessive" who goes all in and then burns out and drops the proyect. So this is healthy for me .

@Rasheed don't. I did this for over a year and developed night bingeing disorder because i was pretty much chronically starving myself. Do intermittent fasting instead with a 6 to 8 hour eating window and don't do it every single day. Maybe 5 days a week máximum or you will lose weight and potentially slow down your metabolism over time.

It's a slight different shade of grey. Fuck me.

My order arrived. It's dark so i can't see if its the same shade. Praying for tomorrow morning. Also it's my day off so I expect to be productive AF. Carpet roof panels, doors and the bare metal that is left.

Red has allways been my favorite color. I love it, but hear me out: Once I was falling asleep on my couch looking at a red shirt that was hanging across the room. From my experience, sometimes when you're in that half asleep - half awake state you access a different state of consciousness, and then it was extremely clear for me that looking at something red triggers you , provoking constant restlessness and unease. It is the color of blood afterall. I may be wrong or deluded so I'm asking for second opinions here. The reason for this post is that I want to purchase a cool colorful carpet for the floor of my campervan since its all dark grey inside ( to make some contrast ) and I'd love it to be all red or with some red here and there, but since I'll be spending so much time there i obviously don't want to be subconsciously triggered all the time. Thoughts, or cool 2x3 m floor carpets? ?

Actually pretty terrible. The day of the shot I got very bad fatigue and I sweat the whole night. A week after the shot I got spike-like ache in the heart . Looks like it's called" myocarditis ". Chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and rapid or irregular heartbeats. It lasted for two weeks. The whole following week, for about 10 days I had vertigo. Literally dizzy 24/7 . It's been a month and a week and I wouldn't say I've recovered 100% yet. It got me pretty scared at the beggining. Ofc I have no 100% proof that it's because of the vax but my intuition points at that keeping in mind all the other possible factors. I'm hesitant of taking the second shot now . I'll def wait 5 months at least. I feel like I may have fcked up for not having gone to the doctor to have a professional paper acknowledging my symptoms. Before this I had covid about 4 times ( every time for at least a week ) and the only aftermath it left me with would be hair loss ( for more than half a year already )

Currently my whole van is carpeted with deep grey - anthrancite carpet. i thought about some color for contrast . It's s low roof van so i be crawling a lot and looking the carpet a lot. I want it to feel cozy AF. Cozy and not being subconsciously triggered is nr 1 priority. Cool design would be nr 2. Budget would be around 150 bucks. Feel free to post some designs. How it looks and some carpets I've considered:

Today i ordered 15 sq meters of sound insulation. I love silence. It's mass loaded vinyl. Ill screw it to the back of the wooden panels. I hope it's worth the 100 bucks. Windows leak a lot of noise anyways but maybe I'll come up with smth.

Take ignition key to key shop ( rip about 100 bucks) Research dimming led lights. Colours are a bonus. So cool. Remember all this money is not thrown away. One: it's an investment for the kind of lifestyle i want to build for myself. Two: when it's finished its easily worth 10k on the resale.

Still waiting for my order. It's been almost a month. Good news from UK provider: We are in the process of establishing an EU warehouse, based in the Netherlands to serve our EU customers. This will restore the service to what it was prior to Brexit. We are very close, and the new website should be launching by the end of this month. We have already taken delivery from Living Supplements there and have ALA and DMSA available. With the parcel shipping from within the EU, we will charge VAT at the Spanish rate on the sale. There are no further/hidden charges, and customs won't be looking at it as it comes from within the EU. We've already done some tester orders to Spain and it's working well. We've got 3 shipping options to suit your speed/cost/reliability preference, Correos, DPD and DHL Express. DPD would be 3 days, and DHL would be 1-2 depending on location. That's amazing. Good News part 2. My local pharmacy has 60 MG ALA pills

✅ sprayed rear bumper with black bumper paint. The finish is pretty amazing. Old me would say it's meaningless - but damn it's truly beautiful. ✅ Removed the excess glue from the windshield. Buy undercoat paint for when I fix the paint around the windshield.

I've just re-read the whole thread and I must say i've done quite a bit of progress in the 10 days that I have been chipping away at the progress. Some takeaways : When in doubt , remeber this is just my first proyect and most likely I'll own a camper van for the rest of my life. Go try your best and learn from the mistakes. There will be more proyects like this . Pocket journal with a bullet TO DO list. Plan the day the night before. Updated To do list : Fix possible roof leak spots Paint the roof white with a spray ( the whole van is fresh painted besides the roof ) Purchase car battery Plug in that new fat fuse to the fuse box Need to pay the insurance . Fix paperwork ITV ( spanish MOT ). Get appointment. look up quality seat cover. Paint the bumpers with the bumper paint ( if it works, cool. If not, buy new bumpers. ) Buy a bottle of Raptor truck liner for a cool bumper finish? + paint the rims ? brainstorm ventilation options. Floor ventilation, wheelarch ventilation, etc. fix screeching windows brainstorm ventilation options. Floor ventilation, wheelarch ventilation, doorstep ventilation , etc. Fix Ignition + repair the key. It's so worn out I'm worried it may snap. Brainstorm cool easy functional interior designs. Tie a cord to the back door so that I can open and close it easier. Look for a cool colorful 2x3 meter carpet for the floor. look for some way to make the floor softer

I'm going to invest 25 bucks in micro perforated vinyl. You can see from inside out but not from outside in. It's suposed to last one year. I'll give it a try. only bad thing would be that if there is light inside of the van, the interior can be seen from the outside. But I'll just get some extra window covers from the inside for the night i guess.
