@LucH > I would add some EFT or breathe technique and walking.
i'd be interested in hearing more about this. i have read around buteyko but have never found what seemed like a good, small book length primer (like generative energy). if you have anything helpful regarding breathing, meditation walking etc i'd be very interested

"[T]he answer to the question, "Do you understand Nietzsche?" is too often answered with a "Yes" by too many people. He has been judged a muddled romantic irrationalist; the forerunner of positivism, pragmatism, or Freud; an aristocrat cultural critic along the lines of Arnold and Ruskin; an ideologist decrying the demise of the bourgeois order; or an Aryan racist, and so forth. The list can go on for a very long time. Nietzsche has been linked somehow with almost every development of importance in contemporary philosophy, art, politics, and society.

Nietzsche is, perhaps purposely, somewhat responsible for the motley of his interpreters. The writings he leaves us lend themselves to a whole series of immediate interpretations, depending on what portion brings changes in the reader. This is due to the nature of the work itself; it never seems to tell what is being said, but at the same time, one has in reading it the inescapable feeling that it does (somewhere, somehow) mean something. Erich Heller writes very well about this problem:

"There are philosophies which, however difficult they may be, are in principle easy to teach and easy to learn. Of course, not everyone can teach or learn philosophy - any more than higher mathematics; but the philosophies of certain philosophers have this in common with higher mathematics: they present the simple alternative of being either understood or not understood. It is, in the last analysis, impossible to misunderstand them. This is true of Aristotle, or St. Thomas Aquinas, or Descartes, or Locke, or Kant. Such philosophies are like mountains: you climb to their tops or you give up. In either case, you will know what has happened and "where you are." But this is not so with the thought of Plato, or St. Augustine, or Pascal, or Kierkegaard, or Nietzsche. Their philosophies are like human faces on the features of which are inscribed, disquietingly, the destinies of souls; or like cities rich in history. "Do you understand Kant?" is like asking "Have you been to the summit of Mont Blanc?" The answer is yes or no. "Do you understand Nietzsche?" is like asking "Do you know Rome?" The answer is simple only if you have never been there.""

In other words, please don't shit up this thread with brain dead chud-babble.

@Norwegian-Mugabe michael mann owns the rights to his life story iirc. i pray one day we get a miami vice-esque film of it

Lots of xylitol gums have many additives. I find it easier and cheaper just to buy pure xylitol and swish it around my mouth for a few minutes. I think for maximum benefits one should try and do this several times a day. It can also be swallowed and may have positive, anti-microbial effects in the gut.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31390800/: Xylitol has been widely documented to have dental health benefits, such as reducing the risk for dental caries. Here we report on other health benefits that have been investigated for xylitol. In skin, xylitol has been reported to improve barrier function and suppress the growth of potential skin pathogens. As a non-digestible carbohydrate, xylitol enters the colon where it is fermented by members of the colonic microbiota; species of the genus Anaerostipes have been reported to ferment xylitol and produce butyrate. The most common Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species do not appear to be able to grow on xylitol. The non-digestible but fermentable nature of xylitol also contributes to a constipation relieving effect and improved bone mineral density. Xylitol also modulates the immune system, which, together with its antimicrobial activity contribute to a reduced respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, and otitis media risk. As a low caloric sweetener, xylitol may contribute to weight management. It has been suggested that xylitol also increases satiety, but these results are not convincing yet. The benefit of xylitol on metabolic health, in addition to the benefit of the mere replacement of sucrose, remains to be determined in humans. Additional health benefits of xylitol have thus been reported and indicate further opportunities but need to be confirmed in human studies.

@albion are you using 'normal' shampoo? Admittedly I never had dandruff very badly but have not had it at all since stopping shampoo and using baking soda instead.

What is the best way to get cytomel/cynoplus in UK? Ship from mexico? Does anyone have experience with tiromel?

@SneedyPeat Ive been spending way to much on the Waitrose freshly squeezed orange juice, defo my go to now. Bottle of that and a red bull is peaty crack

I've bought Aniprin P, pure 'multi-species' aspirin, from eBay a couple of times now. Ships from America, arrives quickly though, with shipping included it's ~£25-30 iirc. I haven't properly done the maths but think it works out slightly cheaper per gram than buy it from boots or whatever. I mostly get it for convenience and no fillers. I think the boots and Waitrose aspirin have the least additives though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193968271785

@keshin Research Jolyon West. Psychs are not your friend and may make you more "open" but not in any remotely beneficial way.
