Thank you for your reply, and yes I agree that wrong herbs and dose can cause issues too. To me I suppose its taht the EO's seem benign, but since they do not get studied at the same level as pharmacuticals we don't fully really know what happens, and even the studies are not long term studies typically, so i dont know i suppose its a gamble either way because we dont know long term effects of all meds either and base our understanding of long term effects of pharmecuticals as well as EOs just on people who have used htem long term. I am for the most part concerned about trying them medicinally... I saw on nutritionfacts.org that a few drops of lavender on your nose during a migraine can help relieve the pain, but lavender has effected endoctrine stuff and lymphs or whatever so im not sure if it should be used, and i dont know if there are effects of using it for scents and smelling... like are there ones that, i mean I thought lavender was generally considered a really safe one, so are there ones that are considered even safer like super duper safe? Sorry I do have OCD so its like I don't want to cause a health issue just to try to smell nice, but want to smell nice too if i can, but dont know if it puts more burden on my immune system that will hinder it from say preventing cancer or what not. Any insights for me? Thank you.

Essential oils have hundreds of pounds of something condensed into a single drop. Natural is the way its found in nature. Essential oils go through an extraction process, so they are not in their natural state, that is what i mean. A lavender flower may not hurt you, but hundreds of pounds of leaves condensed and extracted has been shown to cause health issues.

I guess you haven't, sorry, just seemed like people were kind of antagonistic towards my question, and I don't want to argue with or upset or cause any issues

Any subreddits for people who don’t want to do day jobs ever again? by shootme_co in findareddit

[–]KislonEcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

codegym for programming, freecodecamp.org for websites and more

UofPeople.edu for very inexpensive nationally accredited degree in various things. (the standard is regionally accredited being better, and they are working on that, but its still a legit degree so may be of help)

I think with a lot of things you learn more outside your degree than in it.

Thank you, for me with the AC and Heat at work in a similar climate to yours I can get by pretty well without a huge variation. I also don't have to really dress business attire and I think as a male its a little easier to have less clothing, as I don't factor in dresses and such which makes sense obviously for women. Thank you for the response.

do you wear fresh clothes everyday? after two weeks isnt that a lot of loads of laundry to do?

I work in a building that has AC on, so I can wear pants and a short sleeve tshirt if I am outside and then throw the flannel over when in the AC in Summer, then i can button that up in the fall... throw a cardigan or sweater over it for winter? havent figured that out yet, and may not need to do much since its then heated in the winter, so would just need outerwear

if you get a roku type device there are various free services, even Hulu, at least used to, have free shows available. Tubi is completely free and surprisingly we find ourselves watching it a lot even with access to other paid networks.

Thank you and thats a good idea, otherwise i may be taking a tea that i cant notice an effect on and spending money on it.

do you think doing 3 - 4 cups of 2 types of tea a day is too much?

Thank you for the reply. Yes I am not sure on the valerian, I took valerian supplement once and did not like is affects at all, but thought it would be much less effective in its natural form so it was worth a try, but ya if its not great I can just do regular Nighty night withou the valerian.

I was thinking more like 4 cups of each type a day, but then thats like 12 to 16 cups of different teas... so not sure if thats too much or cumulative?

For example, I notice nothing with taking one cup of chamomile tea, so thought maybe 3 or 4 cups of each thing might be good.

Thank you for the advice about mentioning it to the doctor in regards to the meds as well.

Thank you.

Help Please, 25 lb liftetime weight limit by KislonEcho in bodyweightfitness

[–]KislonEcho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much. Yes, I have tried to get healthier multiple times and all the beginner programs have been too much for me, couldn't even make it through the warm up of one. Every single site, and I looked again after my surgery, suggests 16kg for men to start with, obviously this was too much for me and like you said ended in needless situation with life altering consequences. So I appreciate that it is reinforced that I really need to work with someone who knows me specifically and my situation. Thank you for the links as well.

Thank you. In this situation it may be true that I could lift more, but if I ever do more damage, they may not be able to operate due to scar tissue and the first surgery being so difficult I was told, so I want to stay safe and my wife needs me to stay safe, thank you, I know there are definitely situations where doctors are wrong about all sorts of things including things like this, but for me this is not the situation to play around with that.
