@Nik Remove conventional birth control. Condoms are so much safer. Estrogens and progestins are very inflammatory. Though I guess you are asking in this way because she doesn't want to drop it for some reason. I think Progest-E would still be helpful for her even on birth control but as long as she is on birth control I don't know if she'll make big improvements in health.

Well, white sugar is just sweet. Fruits have more flavours.

I think a lot of people in this sphere just use twitter right now

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.
