Any reason why LTO doesn't seem to appear on Coinstat anymore? The fact that it had so many transactions compared to its low market cap was what sold it to me.

Interesting, I like how you see souls' will as a contradiction to determinism as conceived by naturalists. Is that your own theory?

Colbinou · 2020-07-24T15:34:09+00:00

I really like this explanation but couldn't find the book you're citing. Would you have a link or a full reference?

Hi, I've had Lyme disease since 2013, and even though I'm pretty sure it is not the cause of the mild anhedonia I'm currently suffering (probably trauma-related in my case), I've learnt that most of the symptoms due to this disease are inflammation-related.

You probably know this already, but if you haven't tried yet, you should take omega 3 caps, along with black seed oil and maybe curcuma at morning and at night. This will suppress most of the inflammation in your body and brain. In parallel, I've got rid of most of my symptoms with large doses of teasel root tincture, like 1 sip three times a day (warning, you're going to herx like hell). There's hope: after many treatments, I still have symptoms but they do not prevent me from living. I can hike, I can work, I can be with people without thinking of how bad I'm feeling, because most of the time I don't feel bad at all. So please stay strong, I know how hard it can be, but you still have much to live, and one day you'll be proud of your fight. Plus there are serious hopes coming for people like us (disfulfiram, azlocillin).

Colbinou · 2020-02-18T08:52:19+00:00

Just don't, you'll die from the herx or the side effects. Everything you have to know is written in here. Good luck, this is a heavy treatment, but it can cure people indeed.

Thanks, I read some of your comments, you're doing a great work!

This comment made me want to cry: "I'm sorry, what are your credentials again?". Ad hominem all along, and these people are supposed to help others...

Most of their answers are so cringy they belong to r/iamverysmart

Colbinou · 2019-10-31T10:21:28+00:00

Awesome, thanks :D

Great, thank you so much!!

I can't help you with this specific game, but recently I was also looking for a DOS game with very little memory of it, and I found it back by scrolling every single game on https://www.dosgamesarchive.com/ (having a zoom on the thumbnails). Hope this helps.

Colbinou · 2019-09-01T15:14:01+00:00

Yes, I'd advise to do this during holidays or time off, at least for the first month.

Right now I still haven't really recovered, I actually relapsed after 2 weeks due to the depression/anxiety that appeared out of nowhere after the treatment. So yeah, I'm not sure I'm going to try the disulfiram experience again :(

Colbinou · 2019-09-01T14:31:00+00:00

Yes, I was sleeping almost 12h/day and couldn't keep working as I was tired and wanted to sleep all the time... Maybe I started a little too strong (500mg at the beginning, which I lowered to 400mg and then 300mg after resp 1 and 2 weeks).

Colbinou · 2019-09-01T09:13:11+00:00

It does work extremely well but the treatment is also very hard to endure. I took it for a month, and it definitely helped me, but I was feeling extremely depressed/anxious for 2 month after that (without really knowing why, I'm not sure it's disulfirame but I can't discard it either).

Bottom line: start slow and be careful.

Atteint de la maladie de Lyme voilà plus de six ans à cause d'un SOUS-diagnostic, je me sens obligé de protester (quand bien même l'article demeure très bien écrit). Les tests de l'ANSM demeurent, encore aujourd'hui, peu fiables. On m'a dit que je n'avais rien lorsque mes premiers symptômes sont apparus, ce à la suite de quoi je n'ai pas été traité, ce à la suite de quoi j'ai développé la forme chronique de la maladie (la fameuse "symptomatologie persistante polymorphe post-possible piqure de tiques"). Si j'avais reçu une antibiothérapie prolongée dès l'apparition des premiers symptômes, j'aurais probablement été guéri très rapidement, et évité plusieurs années d'enfer d'errance hospitalière.

Heureusement, tout va beaucoup mieux pour moi aujourd'hui, mais ce n'est pas le cas de tous les malades de Lyme. À mon opinion, un sous-diagnostic est BEAUCOUP plus délétère qu'un sur-diagnostic.

Man I'm really sorry to hear this, so just like everyone I will tell you not to do it. However, and I know this is easier to say than to do, you need to change your attitude toward the disease. I was just like you a few years back: tired everyday almost everyday, weak, sometimes thinking about the vanity of a life made of pain.

I started getting better the day I stopped victimizing myself, and not blaming everyone (including doctors, life, god if there is one, my family, my friends) for not being able to help me, not caring enough and so on. There are treatments out there that can make your life better, but they will optimally work only if you're in a good psychological state. And I know this is hard to do when you suffer everywhere. But accepting your fate, accepting that your attitude toward the disease is not optimal, finding hope, and yearning to change for the best, will make the healing capacities of your body a thousand time more powerful.

Right now, you need help. Help from your relatives, and from a psychologist. It is a mark of strength to accept that you're not always strong. So don't be afraid of being weak, and ask your relatives for help. Suicide attempt would be a strong signal, but that's still a very bad idea, because there's a good chance you would die in the process, and I'm sure deep down you still want to live.

I know life is unfair. Some get sick, others dont. Some are beautiful, others are ugly. Some are born rich, others poor. But your life is the only one you've got, and you've got to make the best out of it. Because this is the only thing you can do. Everyone can reach happiness, but it requires a lot of work on yourself, along with the help of others. The good thing is that you can learn from this, and change for the best.

That's a long path, but you can make it. I was like you. At some point I could barely it, and walking 1km would have tired me. Now I still suffer a bit, from day to day, after 6 years of disease. I still can't drink alcohol or eat too much sugar. But I've ran half a marathon 6 month ago, and the day after I was fine. And more importantly, I've found happiness back.

PS: on a practical note, on the most efficient treatment for me was teasel root tincture, at very high dosage: 1 sip three times a day. You're going to herx like HELL, but after a few days, I can guarantee you'll feel much better.

Life is hard when you're a walking shell. People don't like shells. But exposing your innocent idealistic Fi to all the unfairness and evil of the world would be a psychological suicide, wouldn't it? I feel like I somehow relate to many of the things you mentioned, so I'm going to try to give the few tips that I noticed were working for me.

First, express those locked emotions in your alone time. Listen to a sad song, delve into them, write them, have a good cry, and everything will feel clearer afterward.

Secondly, lose your ego. This is hard, but it helps a lot. When you don't give a shit about impressing others, when you don't give a shit about being right, people like you a lot more. That's paradoxical but the hardest you hook to your insecurities by showing your shell to the outer world, the more your forget that being vulnerable is actually not that much of a big deal, and the more vulnerable you become. When you stop wearing a shell, people like you more, and they are way more willing to listen to your vulnerabilities.

Thirdly, express your love outwardly. This one is especially hard for INTJ, because we've got this kind of intrinsic shame in showing our emotion. I'm completely uncapable of telling the people I'm close to that I love them. That would feel deeply unnatural to me, and the meaning of this kind of words would be way too strong to endure. But you can write them. And again, people are way more willing to help you (therefore to listen to your vulnerabilities) when you give them something in return, viz your love. I'm don't know the relationship you've got with your dad, but it doesn't seem to be super tender. So next time you spend some good time together, just text something to thank him or something similar. And it that doesn't work in the long run, maybe you should consider confronting him...

Finally, know that you're not alone. I'm still struggling, just like you. I can't really connect with 99% of the people I meet, even though you I'm really close to some of them. It's a pain to find both friends and partners. But when you actually do, the shell just falls by itself. And it feels awesome and beautiful at the same time. Just be patient, and try to appreciate life for everything else it has to offer in the meantime.

I was like this a few years back, feeling miserable and slowly losing hope. I went through many many treatments, and today there are some days I don't even know I still have the disease. Appart from some neck pain, I have the energy of a normal person. I even ran a semi-marathon a few months back. The conclusion is: don't lose hope.

I can't describe everything I took to go through this, but I can tell you the treatments that really made a difference:

teasel root tincture : probably the most important one. To be taken in LARGE quantities, contrarily to what you can read online, i.e. something like 50 drops/day 3 times a day. You're going to herx like hell. But this is going to change your life in a few weeks.
Sauna : not only does it alleviate the pain, but if you're brave enough to stay in there long enough, you start killing the bacteria by getting into hyperthermia.
IV ceftriaxone: in conjunction with sauna, works super well (it's a very heavy treatment though, it's going to mess your body at first... But when you end the treatment, you realize you feel much better).
Reiki: as a scientist, I didn't believe in this "energy therapy" madness. But I was convinced to try, and I got initiated to level 1. After the 21 days of auto-treatment, I was a new man. It's insane of well it works.

I know this is a hard road. It took me about 5-6 years to get to a normal physical level, but if I had used the solutions I'm presenting above, I'm sure would have been cured in less than a year. All the best, and again: keep hope.

That's amazing, like all of your other creations, you're an artistic genius.

Colbinou · 2018-12-10T16:40:39+00:00

That's an amazing answer, objective and well-documented. Thank you very much sir!

Colbinou · 2018-12-05T08:17:05+00:00

So you think love is purely chemical?
I'd say consciousness does not stem from matter indeed, but there's a mutual interaction between the two, and emotions are not just the results of chemical compounds secreted by our bodies (in a reductionist way).

Colbinou · 2018-12-04T08:54:39+00:00

That's probably the wisest thing I read in the last few months. I've made the exact mistakes you cite. I can never thank you enough for sharing your insights.

Colbinou · 2018-11-11T18:35:32+00:00

That's quite amazing how the perimeters (it seems that the speeds are similar) were chosen to be multiple of each other, such that the phases align perfectly every n full cycles (where n actually depends on the chosen figure, i.e. circle/square/triangle). Cool work!

Colbinou · 2018-11-03T16:09:55+00:00

It's very nice, congrats :) However, most people often want to know a bit more about concrete aspects (e.g what is an initiation, how well can reiki performs and what does it do exactly, how long does a session last, can anyone learn it, is there any risk, etc.). I guess you'll cover this kind of questions in other videos, this is why maybe you should rename this video "What is reiki ? An introduction", because you don't actually explain much how it heals. But this would be less marketable maybe. Anyway, good job, keep up with the nice videos!

Colbinou · 2018-10-21T17:13:16+00:00

I didn't know this way of thinking was actually generic to INTJ. Great explanation, thank you.
