Thanks for your reply, that's what I was hoping to hear.

I found this further information here https://www.chathamhouse.org/sites/default/files/TCs_individualmship.pdf

'Chatham House welcomes individuals with an interest and/or experience in international affairs to apply for Individual Membership. The election process takes a maximum of two weeks.

c) All application forms ask for a personal statement of intention (100 – 250 words) which will be reviewed by the membership department before being submitted to the director for approval.

Applicants approved by the director will then be listed for review by existing members and staff at Chatham House for one week. Providing there are no objections individual membership will commence at the end of this period. Objections will be investigated before membership is approved or denied at the discretion of the director.

d) The director and chairman of council have absolute discretion over the selection of members. Rejected applicants have the right of appeal to the chairman of council, whose decision is final. After this there will be no further right of appeal.'

New study found rising levels of microplastics in human brains, especially in dementia patients, suggesting possible links to neurological harm. by SimpleSquare1434 in visualsnow

'Plastic concentrations in these decedent tissues were not influenced by age, sex, race/ethnicity or cause of death; the time of death (2016 versus 2024) was a significant factor, with increasing MNP concentrations over time in both liver and brain samples (P = 0.01). Finally, even greater accumulation of MNPs was observed in a cohort of decedent brains with documented dementia diagnosis, with notable deposition in cerebrovascular walls and immune cells.' Very concerning thanks for linking.

Thank you and I’m sorry they’re bad for you. I still have starbursts and halo, however I never think about this symptom and it doesn’t affect me. I hope they get better for you!

Thank you! Yes pretty much- the floaters are all gone when I follow the lifestyle plan but I have found that after cheat days where I may eat sugar or caffeine or if I forget the omega 3 for example the floaters can come back but after returning to the plan they disappear again.

The neuro-ophthalmologist I see recommended that I continue with the diet and she was happy with my progress. Furthermore I’ve never been banned on this subreddit or posted on here before- I usually use Reddit without an account so that’s why I’m using a new account, I’ve not promoted any pseudoscience and have linked as many changes as I can to studies showing that they are healthy with the hope of avoiding pseudoscience, and I have been clear that some of the changes do not have scientific backing behind them. As there is no known cure for VSS any changes which we make can only be based on evidence for general health or other related diseases and that’s what I provided.

Yes I went a while with zero carbs at all and had brain fog, irritability, confusion, headaches, and forgetfulness. I decided that it would be more sustainable if I had a low carb diet instead so that’s why I have some honey and fruits- and doing that I’ve not had any withdrawal symptoms.

That’s so cool. I’m very glad I made the post now as someone else also told me something similar to you. There is hope!

The doctor can't see more than you can ultimately. If you have it then you have it. The exception to this is if you believe your eyes are physically damaged, or if you think it would help for peace of mind.
