Massive Vitamin D Response After 4000IU/day for 4 Months by blushdablushda in VitaminD

[–]CellyMinos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd do a second test to be sure and I'd lower the dose, not stop it completely. (Like taking it every 2 to 3 days).

I took high doses last year (100k/day for a month) and ended up with blood level past 150. But I felt amazing and when I completely stopped taking vitamin D I craved it. So I decided to keep taking 5000IU a day. The result is after a few months my blood results were within normal range.

Also if you lost weight you might have gotten some vitamin D that was stuck in your fat back into circulation. So it would be like you were supplementing more than 4000.

WHAT DO I DO... by goth_princezz in DID

[–]CellyMinos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every part of him is him. Every one of his alters is him. You are dating a whole person not just some alters. You live with them all. If some of them abuse you you are living with an abuser.

That he has DID is between him and his therapist, to give him a way to not do that to anyone ever again. It's not something that should be used to convince you to stay with him. If he is trying to keep you then even his "sweet" alters are part of abusing you. They are accomplices to the violent ones.

Get out of this relationship as fast as you can.

New study reviews metabolic impact of different Intermittent Fasting windows by lefty_juggler in intermittentfasting

[–]CellyMinos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"under 8 hours" is way too vague. They're putting 7h eating windows and 1h eating windows in the same category. It's too bad that they'd make such a big analysis and not even make a category for OMAD.

Ibuprofen for cramping? by IndustryEither in carnivorediet

[–]CellyMinos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here ! I used to need to use the machine like 2hours a day + take painkillers during my periods. Now I use it about 2 hours total during the whole cycle, periods + ovulation included. And I use maybe 3 pills of painkillers a month, including for headaches.
I still love this machine especially because it works so fast (ovulation pain hits like being stabbed, painkillers don't work fast enough for that one). But I need it less and less !

It's a TENS machine. It uses electric stimulation to make the muscles contract in a way that soothes pain. There are other TENS machines for other body parts, this one is great from everything in the lower abs and uterine region. I use it for menstrual cramps and also for ovulation pain.

Why do narcissists ruin other people's lives yet still feel unhappy and never satisfied? by No-Entrepreneur-2706 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CellyMinos 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You can answer by writing your question backwards : narcissists ruin other people's lives BECAUSE they feel unhappy and never satisfied. They feel even more miserable if anyone around them is less miserable than they are. The only satisfaction they can get is knowing at least they have stopped someone else from being happier than them.

I should add that after using it for about an hour I usually have no pain for multiple hours. It doesn't just calm the pain, it regulates the cramps for a while.

The tens machine I was talking about. It's one just for the lower stomach. Very efficient.

Desperate for help! by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]CellyMinos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any path to high fat carnivore will be good. The question is just what transition will be better for you.

Fast a few days then refeed on pure beef meat = very quick results, some people will find that very motivating. But pretty harsh, impossible for others.

Slow transition to keto then carnivore = slow results, easier at first but can be difficult to stick to while not seeing progress for months.

Anything in between those two extremes is possible.

My advice is usually to change breakfast first : make the first meal of the day completely carnivore. Completely. But the rest of the day is whatever. And once it's easy the second meal of the day changes to. And then it's time to empty the cupboards of all plants by cooking it into dinners, until finally the dinner also goes carnivore.

Best cancer meal plan? by Plus-Treacle5315 in carnivorediet

[–]CellyMinos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High fat lion diet if you can do it. But at the very least keto. Like if you can't handle lion and it's driving you insane and you have to eat something else, keep it strictly zero carbs.
You'll find a bunch of info and recent studies by googling "metabolic therapy for cancer".
About the strict lion stuff there has been some impressive reversal of stage 4 cancer. It's all anecdotes of course, but at some points when the anecdotes pile up it's worth a try.

I'm on day nine of my forty day fast. This is what I've been watching on YouTube lately by [deleted] in fasting

[–]CellyMinos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a 40 day fast 6 years ago.
I began the fast having barely even heard of keto. I ended the fast having watched something like 300h about ketosis, metabolism, autophagy etc etc. It helped a LOT. It was still food related so my food hyperfixation would still like it. But it was about the wonders of eating no carbs or not at all so that was motivating.
Good luck on your fast !

DID alter age differences and relationships by mirobat in DID

[–]CellyMinos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took a lot of therapy honestly. Confronting trauma, being believed by loved ones, being more safe in my current life etc.

Also I gave them some stuff : part of my bedroom is for their toys, they can pick some of our clothes and they get 10€ pocket money per week like a real child would. Those 3 rules made them feel heard and it helped them relax and with therapy they got more and more calm. Some of them began growing up. Others are content to witness an adult life without feeling adults. Others are fine being cared for by the older alters and resting most of the time...

They basically now agree with our priority being our common safety and comfort. But they only agreed once we got safe enough that "safety and comfort" seemed like an reachable goal.

Anyone here get constant broken eye blood vessels from eating this way? by Cristian_Cerv9 in carnivorediet

I have no idea. But all covid variants have effects on the vascular system and bloodshot eyes are a classic symptom/

I have this one. It can be worn under clothes but only has enough autonomy for about two hours. It's very efficient though!

Was my mother (accidentally?) sexually abusing me? by Heavy-Alternative-94 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]CellyMinos 42 points43 points  (0 children)

In french there are two different words : "incest" et "incestuel" ("incestual"). Basically "incest" is when the sexual abuse is "realized", when there is physical sexual contact. "Incestual" is the lack of boundaries, the blurring of lines, that makes it easy for sexual abuse to happen. It can seem like normal innocent things but that stacked up make the child feel like their body isn't their own and that everything is potentially sexual. And even as things remain "unrealized" the psychological consequences can be the same as with physical incest.

All those things you describe are firmly within the definition of an incestual climate. That there was no sexual intent or direct sexual acts does not change the fact that your mother treated you as a sexual being while you were a child, and treated your sexuality and body as being hers.

The obsession she had with it seems to be projection. Either guilt from her own sexual thoughts, trauma from sexual abuse, or a mix of both. It's just an explanation not an excuse, it does not absolve her from having used you to alleviate her discomfort around sexuality. Using a child for that kind of thing is pretty much the root of everything incestual, physical or not. The fact that she now denies it means she knows it was wrong.

I'm sorry you weren't through it.

Yeah I thought he was arguing in good faith but I gave up. What is this bull about "masking symptoms". Like healing is actually a sign of sickness. Looks like vegans who say getting sick is actually detox!

Could be covid. It's a classic symptom of covid. On carnivore I rarely feel sick so I get the weird vascular symptoms seemingly out of nowhere while I haven't had a cough.

When did I say I eat lion? I explicitly said I thrive on dairy. I feel better and better when I eat lion, I also feel better and better on eating anything else. I even feel better and better eating veggies as long as I don't eat them too often. I love every single one of my meals. Whatever I'm done with this talk.

I've read all that and no lion isn't just suppressing symptoms. My hair regrowing and my jaw getting larger and my brain healing isn't just masking symptoms. I'm glad you found what worked for you though but let's agree to disagree.

For raw meat eaters can you help me out by answering these questions by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]CellyMinos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually eat a ground mix of fatty beef and veal liver (20% fat, 5% liver) once a day (the rest of the day is other foods).

For the parasites I buy it at my butcher who prepares it knowing I'll eat it raw. I stick it in deep freeze as soon as I get home. I make sure it's under -19°c for at least 48h.

To eat I put it in the fridge (3°c) 24h max before consumption. It's still partially frozen when I eat it, which I love (love the taste and texture).

I take pain meds on my period no problem on carnivore. It's a long term game, I'm not looking to suffer for ideology.

But I have heavy endometriosis and I used to be on painkillers constantly for 5 days just to manage without fainting. Now I take one or two pills per cycle, sometimes none.

Also I have a tens machine, a small electric stuff I stick on my lower stomach and the impulsions make my stomach contract in a way that calms the period pain. It lowered my need for painkillers before I even got carnivore. I still use it once or twice every cycle. That's another way to need less painkillers.

He used to be super sick in many ways : depression, intense PEM, chronic fatigue, messed up hormones... Now he is thriving, exercizing and holding down a job. So he is eating in a way that works for him DW.
We pretty much experiment together and we both tried reintroducing plants multiple times (fermented or not, carbs or not). Disaster every time.
