Title. Just curious about this because I'll be travelling to the US in a few months and wanted to know if me making filter coffee would help to remove some of the fluoride from the tap water.

Ray said previously that making filter coffee is an effective way to filter water but didn't specifically say what gets filtered.

Also, any good "Peaty" options in 7-Eleven? It's the closest shop to where I'm staying. Never visited USA so any other such tips for a Brit staying 2 weeks would be appreciated! Cheers.

@Uncover In fairness his thyroid would still be there just severely damaged so it could probably regain function again but likely hard without supplementing thyroid

Felt quite sedated once after eating raw lamb but possibly hundreds of other factors involved.

@Luke Yeah, every time I use cypro for at least a week I gain a lot of weight that never seems to go away. I still can't really figure out how good or bad that is though because I don't really visibly see the extra weight...

Yeah that's definitely learned helplessness bro. You're right in the middle of it.

Best thing you could probably do short of moving out (which of course nowdays can be a monumental feat, especially young) is to start making money in a way that isn't too stressful like a part time barista job or something and using the money to make your own meals and snacks so don't have to rely on potentially unhealthy foods being given to you.

I found I digest frozen sweet cherries very well. I just defrost them and then drizzle them in chocolate sauce and it makes a nice sweet bowl. Half the cost of fresh cherries normally and funnily they're probably picked when ripe whereas the fresh product is likely artificially ripened.

I guess it depends on what is meant by "brainwashing", right? I started to sort of see cracks and lies in the mainstream from around 13 but it was also the start of a terrible depression streak for me and I was FAR away from being healtht or having a good metabolism.

@LucH Do you use raw leaves? I think OP is talking about green smoothies made with raw spinach and kale.

In memory, only had it once and it was last time I was using cypro for 2 weeks. Felt like what people describe as a Benadryl trip. It was really strange, can't say I liked it but it wasn't terrible.

It felt like I was in the process of waking up from my sleep. I could just about feel a physical sensation that my body was heavy, especially my arms which were placed above my torso. I felt as if I was going through one of those dreams where you sort of go about your morning routine but were actually still asleep, yet somehow different and more ominous.

I could see sort of looming shadows on my ceilings which gradually expanded, and in the sort of dreamscape I was at my sink basin where the mirror hangs, and there was a sort of golden glow being surrounded by pitch black shadows behind me. As I recognised the presence of the glow/shadow it quickly grew in size and intensity and I eventually woke up properly with dead arms.

I love Redbull but it makes me hyperactive and gives me terrible psoriasis if I do it too hard.
