You know, this is just my biased opinion but I consider this part of life completely optional and non-mandatory. You don't have to be "good with girls" to find an amazing woman. In fact (in my opinion) a high-quality conscious women who are worth looking for will NOT be hanging around ildly in the bar being flirty and cheeky fiddling with hair around their index fingers. Once you meet them, they will not fall for your PUA shit anyways, they can see through that from hundred miles away and even though they will probably get flattered, you won't have a chance. They will also know when you are being childish, needy and inauthentic and will get discouraged. On the other hand if you have too much testosterone and just need to have sex with lot of women because you think that's your next step in your natural development, by all means.

Even if he scored with few girls for those 8k, what he would end up with is shallow, low-quality sex with bunch of girls and end up feeling like trash. Following PUA lifestyle will never leave you fulfilled, it only creates more holes in your soul with each girl you manage to shag. Use that money to grow yourself in another way and you will attract high-quality women who have more to offer than sheer looks (of course looks is still important). You can completely bypass this whole clown game and have the most fulfilling and satisfying sex with a conscious and grown woman who will challenge you and help you grow rather than having some Instagram poser who needs to be praised every 10 minutes and whose level of authenticity is zero.

Vinegar on GERD? Wow, won't that turn you into an acidic fountain lol. You'd usually recommend that for achlorhydria not the other way around.

There are many many but I don't have any recomms in particular. Most unbiased nutrition books will have a chunky section on this. Could be a lifestyle thing but also genetic depending if grandparents had it as well Btw if you have a conflict with krill and fish oil why don't you just go for a combination of flax oil with algal oil? Fully vegan and very sustainable.

@Happy Jay definitely worth getting tested for H-Pylori. More than half of people who suffer from chronic gastritis have this issue. Using a lot of painkillers could have caused ulcer as well so might be worth having an endoscopy done (which is pretty much part of H-pylori assessment) During your flareups careful with salt, heavy spices, chilli, coffee, hot foods, greasy&fatty animal foods, other hot drinks and scratchy foods like crisps. Cabbage juice is extremely soothing for the stomach so is Slippery Elm as already mentioned. Peppermint tea may help reduce cramping but that doesn't solve the root-cause.

I can be extremely purifying to do this on your own just make sure you don't go too far outside of any civilisation if your survival skills (e.g. tent setting, fire setting, some basic meal prep) are not great. But exploring nature on your own can bring all sort of stuff on surface so also be prepared for that as well. There is something to it when solitude is combined with the purity of nature that suppressed emotions resurface, I've experienced that when solo-hiking. Good time to do some soul-cleansing and some emotional growth. Also make sure you are well packed especially in terms of first aid, emergency food, fire starter kit, headtorch with spare batteries, external phone battery, extra warm layers, waterproof jackets and bag for your backpack and that sort of stuff. Also repelents, tick tweezers, swiss knife. Make sure to register your journey somewhere and tell few people that you'll be out. But the chances of anything odd happening are rare and most likely you'll have the most amazing time.

I think my advice would be the one I gave you previously around better food variety even higher food-frequency. More warm aromatic foods may actually make you feel better but also like I said your diet is pretty darn good already. I can't comment on whether to try any animal products or not, I leave that decision to people unless I see that their current diet is causing them too much suffering and needs interference. I was recently working with someone who benefited from adding a bit of oily fish thou and they felt more grounded and a bit happier as well after having been meat-free for a long time. At the same time, other people will benefit from eating less meat & eggs and adding more plants such as when having too much inflammation in the body etc, yeah there is a lot of confusion around the different ions attached to minerals. I think magnesium is the most confusing ones of all, you have like 8 variations of it all used for different purposes. But "citrate" is nearly always (with any mineral) the safest and the best-absorbed one because the body can use it up easily. the autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis or just regular joint swelling?

@Average Investor B12 seems reasonable if you don;t eat animal products just ensure that you are not overpaying, get something fairly cheap with at least 200mcg per day and all your needs are covered D3 seems reasonable, if you are unsure you can order finger prick test and get results in couple days. Otherwise1000-2000 IU is a good maintenance dose. I'll err on the side of Zinc Picolinate. One of the reasons being that it is not necessarily the best absorbed, that would probably be Citrate and also you can use the citrate carrier to enter Kreb Cycle and help with your energy production where Picolinic Acid bound to Zinc Picolinate may potentially open up KInurenine Pathway a bit excessively and too much Picolinic acid is (hypothetically) pro-inflammatory, see the link -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3195224/ . I'd go for Zinc Citrate, it is just much safer and make sure to take it in the evening outside of all meals Are you looking to achieve any particular effect with these supplements or is it just maintenance? Are you taking Glucosamine for any particular reason? Joint issues?

Move out if you can. Fixing his childish behaviour is not your problem. Lots of websites aimed at finding a roommate or finding a place that looks for new flatmates.

Have they done ECG on you? Any history of nervous system disease in the family or autoimmunity? Neurological assessment might reveal something

Probably not for a person fighting cancer.

very tempting but I'll pass on debating this

Not really, I posted this over year and half ago and now it was reopened for some reason. Lots of my beliefs have changed since then but in terms of Cancer treatment, I am at the stage where I am not sure what is the best protocol anymore. It is definitely not chemo but it is probably not juice fasting either because I don't think the body can fight disease when stripped of all nutrients and brought to a physical state that resembles a skeleton.

wow this was a while ago but I'd probably still agree to most of what he says

Most mental health diseases can be cured or at least managed life-long really well but it is often a bit more difficult than regular physiological diseases because of the sheer complexity of human brain in comparison to other organs and tissues. The only ones that are currently irreversible are those where there was a loss of living tissue and death of brain cells like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and similar ones. Ofcourse those where there was alteernation to DNA or inherited mutation are also incurable such as various forms of retardation and inherited diseases. The ones like Schisophrenia or Bipolar can be managed pretty well usually through a combination of lifestyle and mental health therapies. Depression, Anxieties can mostly be cured or managed really well but it is not always easy and can take a while depending on the cause. Lot of common mental conditions are actually caused by poor lifestyle choices, toxicity, heavy meal overload, chronic unmanaged stress and other factors. It is always a good idea to work on investigating the cause with a specialist rather than just accepting the label "incurable". Health is the natural state of the human body.

You don't have to regress to the same stage. Kids need to go through purple and red but if you are at Tier 2, you can make their transition pretty smooth and help them to get to stage Blue, even some healthy orange by the time they enter kindergarten and elementary school. Regressing to stage Red means locking them in wardrobe, denying food, denying love, punishing (e.g. slaping fingers with ruler, hitting them with belt and using other non-creative forms of domestic violence - which is what a lot of unconscious parents still do) and yelling at them. This creates more rebellion and more anger. It builds up resentment, creates an emotional separation and makes it extremely difficult for your child to climb spiral. Red needs to be approached from a place of love and acceptance, you need to show them to way and love them regardless of what behaviour they display. Just because you don't approve of your child's behaviour does not mean it is wrong, it just is. You went through that stage and so will they, there is just no other way. Trying to control child creates neurotics and they will have to spend years in therapy....or in prison.

@Cykaaaa @nistake fair enough!

wouldn't it be better to encourage the other person to talk about themselves instead? People kinda love doing that and it creates a bond between the talkers. But maybe that's just an introvert strategy.

Oh boy you betcha !! Go out there and f**k the world sharing your greatest gifts and talents ! ehm, at the same time it helps to have regular sex to release as well haha

Turn that energy into a form of creative art or a purpose. Share that energy with the world by creating something beautiful or meaningful that will help others be more happy.

Seems like the right step forwards Animal products are not an essential part of human diet but keeping small oily fish sustainably caught, rather than beef and chicken can be quite beneficial especially for your fatty acid profile. Make sure to share your results with us.

i doubt that this is how it works but the pain/anxiety-relieving effects of ingested endocannabinoid are very real indeed

I think you and I have embarked on too much of a different health journey in our search for answers for that to be possible haha I'm Taurus as well (the date of birth on forum profile is random ) so perhaps there is something to it -smiley scratching his beard and thinking -

@Bufo Alvarius I know lot of people on the forum will disagree with this statement but having regular solid breakfast is one of the most significant and important things you can do for your health and skipping breakfast and fasting through is one of the worst things you can do. I think this has been the most effective strategy for all the people I have worked with. If you care, I'll explain why this works in the end, otherwise skip that part. The breakfast should consist of the following: A source of complex carbohydrates (oats, buckwheat, wholegrain bread etc) Source of protein - nuts, seeds, tofu, bit of plant-based protein powder, a boiled egg or two or something of that kind Source of essential fatty acids - nuts, seeds, nut butter etc. At least 15g of fibre 2-3 portions of fruit one if which should be berries Oatmeal or buckwheat meal are perfect for this. Basically you want breakfast to be the largest meal of the day, it needs to be balanced and ideally warm. The protein part is important and although I am not a fan of counting anything, having 15-20g of protein in there keeps it more balance, more satiating and more energising. The complex carbs will deliver lot of B-vitamins and magnesium essential for your mitochondrial energy cycles to work as well as fibre to slow everything down and make sure the breakfast only gives you a gentle spike of insulin unlike a fruit juice that sends your pancreas into hyperdrive which leads to the production of an excessive amount of insulin particles that end up taking away too much of the blood sugar and you end up hypoglycemic, hungry and somewhat irritated. To eat or not to eat? For the majority of people, sleeping for 7-9 hours depletes a decent part of your liver glycogen (stored sugar) because there needs to be a constant stream of glucose in your blood to supply cells and mitochondria with glucose so that it can keep the kreb cycle running and producing ATP (energy). If this starts running out, your body will try to go into ketosis to burn fat and break it into fatty acids and glycerol to use in the energy metabolism. The problem is that if you are not trained well in this it may take couple days to get in proper ketosis and in the meantime, you are in starvation mode losing muscle protein because that is easier to burn but is very dirty and inefficient. This causes your hypothalamus to signal the adrenals to produce adrenaline, noradrenaline and glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol). These stress hormones are the reason people feel great when skipping breakfast. It is not that the food is bad, it is that your stress hormones make you feel more alive. The downside is that on one hand this can wreck your metabolism in the long term, it also taxes your adrenal glands and make create a bit of metabolic inhibition so that the body becomes more likely to store calories one the food becomes available. In research, people who eat irregularly, store more calories than those who do. Breakfast seems to be making the most difference. So ideally you want to keep your blood sugar balanced by having a solid meal in the morning consisting of the above. But hey, none of this has to apply to you and maybe you need different approach but this has worked in my life and couple people I have helped with some chronic conditions. Good luck
